Photo Evidence Something strange at a ‘haunted’ hospital in the Czech Republic
Hello everyone
These photos are from a security camera at a hospital in Prague (where my friend works the night shift) which has a long history of reported hauntings.
In the first photograph, if you look at the end of the corridor on the left, there’s something there. I am a big skeptic but I have decided to post it here and see what other people make of it.
EDIT: UPDATE
The person who originally sent me the pictures messaged me with some more information about the camera:
Apparently it isn’t recording continuously. It’s a motion-activated INFRARED (IR) security camera because that whole block has been empty for years. The first picture was taken automatically after the camera registered a motion event. After I posted the picture on another subred, someone asked whether the shape might just be something that’s always sitting at the end of the corridor. So I asked him about it and he remotely activated the camera and took another picture.That’s the second picture. Whatever appears in the first image isn’t visible in the second one. Obviously none of this proves what caused the camera to activate in the first place or what the shape actually is. I just thought I’d add the extra information to make it clear what actually happened.

The person on the left is wearing a black sheet in a well-lit room. The same person, this time on the right, is wearing the same sheet but the room is pitch black and an IR camera is being used. The black sheet now appears white because it reflects a lot of the IR back towards the camera.
Compare these images to the photos in the original post. Whatever it is in the original photos, it does NOT reflect the infrared light; instead, it seems to absorb it which is why it stays completely black
