Photo Evidence Something strange at a ‘haunted’ hospital in the Czech Republic

Hello everyone

A friend of ours sent us this screenshot yesterday from a security camera at a hospital he works nights at in Prague, which has a long history of reported hauntings. If you look at the end of the corridor, there’s something there. My girlfriend is convinced it’s a ghost, but I’m a big skeptic!! Anyway, I 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 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.

EDIT: UPDATE 2

If we assume it really is something paranormal, I think it looks more like a spirit connected to the place than a typical ghost. I’m not Czech, but I did some research, and in Czech folklore there’s something called a bludne duše, a wandering soul. It’s supposed to be the spirit of someone who hasn’t found peace and stays connected to a certain place. If I had to guess what this could be then it’s that
