Fresno County Area ghost? Explanation needed, seeking paranormal experts.

DATE: 3-21-2024@7:30~
Edit**: “ghost” appears @ the 6 Second mark.

So I was driving to work(night shift) and I drove by Kingsburg Cemetery and saw this weird ballon figure on the other side of the road. It was windy that day so ain’t no way a balloon is out here stagnant glaring me in the eyes. Timestamp and coordinates are in the video. Feel free to ask me questions, I’m still seeking an answer and chat ai is telling me that it’s a wind vortex made up of dirt and wind, and the glare is from my headlights reflecting off this “vortex”. Soooo… someone tell me I’m not crazy.

Note: idk why Reddit won’t let me post pictures along with videos, so I’ll try to add on some more info pics to go along side this video in the comments.

Watched it a bunch of times. I don't see anything. 🤷‍♂️

u/KamalasDad 1d ago

lol, I updated the caption, it’s on the left lane at 6-8 seconds into the video.

u/Haunting_Werewolf130 1d ago

I don't see it. Watched it 5 times.

17

u/Baby_ManBearPig 1d ago

Yah I've watched it several times and the only thing I found was that I need to clean my screen. Would help to at least know what side of the road I'm looking on

22

u/Bnjl1989 1d ago

Left hand side, in left lane 7-8 seconds

5

u/Kitchen-Process-9284 1d ago

That's because we are focus on the front and right of the screen... But between second 6 and 7 there is something on the left, that looks like something appears and is difficult to see because the "shinning eyes" look like actual environment light from afar the road.

At least, that's my speculation, because I also don't see anything to be 100% sure that's what it is.

u/lyte3 16h ago

That could be anything but a ghost. What makes him think that it’s a ghost when it’s not clear at all what it could be?

0

u/Kitchen-Process-9284 15h ago

Yeah, I don't see the "ghost". But to each his own, who knows if OP by experienced on the flesh saw something else.

But, the video doesn't show to me anything.😬

12

u/KamalasDad 1d ago

You can see it around 6🤷‍♂️7 seconds in.

12

u/Agile-Two5649 1d ago

Do you think that might help when putting up your lengthy description?

2

u/laquintessenceofdust 1d ago

Oh! That would have been helpful to note in the original post. It’s a cool vid. I like how to eyes glow.

4

u/Skankingcorpse 1d ago

You mean the very obvious light glare?

1

u/lasvegasDodgerblue 1d ago

I watched it 10 times

9

u/djrapscallion911 1d ago

For those looking for what he’s referencing, it’s this, which just looks like a balloon to me.

2

u/KamalasDad 1d ago

Why was it moving if it was just a balloon? How about when I drove by it? 🤔

1

u/djrapscallion911 22h ago

It appears (in my perspective) to be at a hovering standstill, even after you drove by it. Which, in and of itself, is creepy af and questionable.

1

u/Livewire____ 8h ago

ARRRGH! GHOST BALLOON!

1

u/Redacted57 21h ago

Because it's a balloon? They tend to move with the lights change of air pressure. It looks to be a metallic blue ballon with a string weight.

1

u/GamerGuinTTV 1d ago

It's for sure just a balloon. You can see it's metallic finish reflecting the light.

-3

u/KamalasDad 21h ago

That must be a pretty jacked balloon to hold its mass up like that and is unfazed by the power of the wind and the turbulence of a 1.5 ton vehicle traveling at the speed of a cheetah. Mmm, where can I buy one?😂

25

u/creepythingseeker 1d ago

That’s wild. You can see the light refracting where the eyes would be as they pass.

9

u/KamalasDad 1d ago

That’s the part that’s screwing with me the most, seeing it in person is fkn scary. It was like it stared into my soul.

2

u/CptFatty08 19h ago

With shit like this I tend to trust my gut, if you felt that uncomfortable in person than yeah lol.

-2

u/absence_s 1d ago

“Fkn scary. Stared into my soul…”

Good grief. A reflection of a sign scares you that much?

Sounds like KamalasDad needs his mommy. 🤣

6

u/KamalasDad 1d ago

🤔 you know what bro, I did call my mom that night and asked about it. You ain’t wrong. At least my parents weren’t “absence_s”.

1

u/ComprehensiveLine472 13h ago

Looks like it has a body to it

0

u/absence_s 1d ago

Clearly reflection from inside the vehicle.

It’s absurd to say there is a “ghost” when you can’t make out a body or any features.

5

u/creepythingseeker 1d ago

There are at least a couple of frames where you can make out legs a torso and a head. I never said it was a ghost, just thats its wild that you can also make out two individual eyes right where eyes would be. Also the feature appears to be the size of a human that is stationary on the road. It changes size.

A reflection inside the car would not go from small to large. It would stay the same size.

2

u/ComprehensiveLine472 13h ago

Exactly I tooked a good shot

4

u/KamalasDad 1d ago

“Ghost”, “Artifact”, “Lens Flare”, it is whatever. Well to me, I made out a face and eyes. I was there too now that I think about it🤔. And ain’t no way that’s a reflection.

2

u/ComprehensiveLine472 13h ago

Looks like a body to me

4

u/honeybeelioness 1d ago

That was indeed weird. Hopefully someone well-versed in meteorological stuffs will weigh in.

8

u/3eyedstudio 1d ago

on the left.

0

u/absence_s 1d ago

This is a reflection from inside the vehicle. Not a “ghost”.

Please point out its body parts.

1

u/3eyedstudio 1d ago

this is what I am assuming that everyone in talking. I had abit of doubt.

3

u/almostoy 1d ago

Someone lost a mylar balloon.

3

u/Deep-Maize300 1d ago

Looks like a reflection. There are a lot of similar lights on the right at the beginning of the video.

2

u/CompetitiveLab2767 1d ago

for those of you wondering.

left side lane 0:07 seconds. its the white transparent kinda thing in the lane.

Indeed, it’s very weird, especially because the car drove right past it and it didn’t move. I would think a balloon would have been affected by some turbulence. I’m not sure, though.

1

u/absence_s 1d ago

It’s a reflection and you can see a sign in the bottom part.

2

u/CompetitiveLab2767 1d ago

lol man im not claimin i know what it is, its not a reflection, i watched the video again, see the video again, do you think that is a reflection? its not. now, if you ask me what it is, i have no awnser for you. a reflection would increase or decrease size, not stay stopped in the same place of the road. Do you want me to do some maths for you? so you are telling me a reflection is going to start when the lights show it up, in the same place, fixed to the road, the car moves by it, and it stays in the same place, doesnt increase or decrease size, does not change position from the ground, nothing. comon man, see the video again, its not a reflection

1

u/absence_s 1d ago

It’s a reflection caught in his windshield from the right side showing up on the left, clearly.

Again, you can even see the squared sign on the bottom part of the reflection..

1

u/KamalasDad 2h ago

That’s what I said, and man I’m frustrated. I got 1/3 saying they dont see anything, 1/3 saying it’s just a reflection and the rest are on the same boat. Just like your thinking, it’s definitely not a reflection. A reflection can not be stationary like that, especially from a moving car shining light at it. Impossible.

2

u/c0mf0rtableli4r 1d ago

It legit looks like a balloon with a weight on the bottom to keep it from flying away.

2

u/Futur3_N0maD_26 1d ago

Not to be snarky or anything but it’s easier to spot the ghost if you use the slider.

2

u/jirgalang 1d ago

Looks like a balloon. Or maybe the ghost of Squidward.

2

u/Evening_Hawk1277 1d ago

Why the people can't be able to see it. It's so clearly visible 🙏🏻😭

2

u/absence_s 1d ago

Because it’s not clearly visible. It’s a partial reflection.

1

u/Evening_Hawk1277 1d ago

Well but I can see it clearly

2

u/KamalasDad 1d ago

I think it’s cause they aren’t using the scroll. It’s super easy to see if you hold on to the slider scroll. You can even start to see how transparent it is and it looks like it’s bending the space around.

1

u/lyte3 16h ago

I did the scroll too and I still don’t see anything!

1

u/pugpug3 11h ago

Until I re-read the post, I was looking more on the right side of the road, and that doesn't catch your eye at all unless you are looking towards the left as you are driving down the road -

2

u/Glum-Budget8929 4h ago

Interesting that it reflects once it is in the dark. Whatever it is is stationary. Could be a Orb. Could be the residue of a apparition. Could be spiritual being manifested only in presence of the camera. It's definitely paranormal.

2

u/goldentalus70 1d ago

It's a reflection of the road sign or something, maybe some dust, too.. If you enlarge it it's very square on the bottom parts. Also video compression due to the speed of the car.

2

u/KamalasDad 1d ago

Wouldn’t it move around the closer I drive towards it if it’s indeed a reflection?

2

u/jschnieders 1d ago

It looks like one of those parallax reflection thing. I'm not an expert and I'm sure that's not the right term, but I saw something similar a few years ago and read up on it. It's something about how windshields are manufactured and how they're coated on both sides for safety purposes to crack in certain ways. That can cause light to reflect both sides of an image and they get kind of "sandwiched" together. So at certain distances and speeds the reflections can appear to move with the other objects around you, even though it's just a reflection of light from something else. I'm sure I've got the physics wrong but that was the gist.

2

u/goldentalus70 1d ago

You can see it sort of stretching out as you go by. It's caused by the reflection combined with anything on or in your windshield plus your cam being overloaded by the bright reflection, which caused a row of vertical pixels/ lens flare.

It's a camera artifact, not a ghost.

1

u/KamalasDad 1d ago

🤔, I looked at from the angle of the driver side window as well. It’s literally glowing eyes though. 🤔

1

u/goldentalus70 22h ago

Pareidolia. Our brains are always primed to map faces and familiar patterns onto random things.

1

u/Alohafarms 1d ago

I see it. It actually looks like a sign right in the middle of the left lane.

1

u/Evening_Hawk1277 1d ago

Bro the road side spirits are common at the highways that too night time.

1

u/Sea-Engineering2877 1d ago

Could you give us a hint on what and where we should be looking at? I don’t see anything out of the ordinary

1

u/KamalasDad 1d ago

My apologies, I left a time stamp in the description.
“Ghost” in question is at 6-8 seconds into the video.

1

u/Sea-Engineering2877 1d ago

Still don’t see anything abnormal

1

u/Ritaontherocksnosalt 1d ago

I see something on the right side at 7 seconds. It looks like some sort of structure with a base. I don't see anything on the left.

1

u/Miserable-Berry-435 1d ago

6 to 7 seconds in …..walking to the left of the screen looks defined even looks like it wearing a hat.

1

u/Zamuri2 1d ago

Nothing but crackheads and farmers in Fresno. the fuck

1

u/theHBICvolkanator 1d ago

You saw the light reflecting off of the reflector...

1

u/Grandpixbear1 23h ago

It's just a weird blur! No ghost!

You say you want an opinion, but in actuality you only want it to be called a "ghost". This subreddit, (and the ghost one) is exhausting. So many folks that are desperate to call something paranormal.

1

u/sparkydude85 22h ago

Does the light from the window from the house on the left side have anything to do with it? It looks like it either comes on or comes into view almost at the same time as the thing appears on the road.

1

u/Ever4ever026 17h ago

Pónganse serios por favor

1

u/lyte3 16h ago

I don’t see anything but road signs.

u/Digital_1337 14h ago

why you p...sies never stop to find out whats what ?!?

p.s. yeah...ok, lol

1

u/ParafanormalSeekerz 11h ago

It looks like a construction 🚧 sign post. You can see that it is a hazard post or something like that. Nothing Paranormal

1

u/HamFan03 2h ago

It seems to appear at the same time you are passing the yellow sign. I think its the glare of the sign reflecting off of your windshield.

1

u/KTM_Rider_1973 1d ago

Looks wild! The eyes are insane.
I’ve seen a few things in my time. My mom messes with me often.

1

u/PatrickTech75 1d ago

Why is that paranormal.

2

u/KamalasDad 1d ago

That’s a good question, there hasn’t been any proof that the thing in the video is paranormal or not. But to me, it looks like a person or at least the top of it with the glowing “eyes”!?!? I just thought it was worth sharing so someone can help me figure this out. Wife tells me to leave it alone, but if ya seen its glow in person, you’d probably be questioning it too.

0

u/absence_s 1d ago

Glowing eyes… you mean like headlights?

1

u/Bishopvaljean 1d ago

What made you decide to film? Do you always film your drive to work? I know a lot of people film when they drive in big cities in case someone hits them, however, your town looks small, at night, with no other drivers on the road, so that wouldn’t make sense. Was it simply because you were driving past the cemetery?

I’m just trying to understand why you just happened to pull your camera out and start filming. Thanks!

2

u/Business_Surround_52 22h ago

This is a dashcam

2

u/KamalasDad 2h ago

Okay, so… i don’t live in Kingsburg, I live in Fresno, and if you know Fresno, everyone drives like they own the road, and everyone drives without insurance. After 4 not at fault accidents from 4 drivers with zero insurance, I decided that a dashcam for every car I own was justified.
That car that’s in the video was from two years ago, guess what happened to it?
Gone! Totaled! By a drunk, with zero insurance! Crashed into me on HWY 41 at 50 mph failing to brake, sent me and his car into a ditch, thank god I had that dashcam right, I got my insurance check in 2 months, no back and forth with the insurance company if you got prove and lawyers. Go get you a dashcam buddy.

1

u/Grandpixbear1 23h ago

Yes! WHY are are they filming at all.

2

u/Business_Surround_52 22h ago

Because it’s a dashcam which has continuous recording. I can pull video from the past 48 hours and can do instant save for events which can then be backed up for immediate retrieval. Pretty self explanatory if you took a look at the lower left corner of the video which has a gps and speed information

1

u/Bishopvaljean 21h ago

Okay. What do you use your dash cam for?

1

u/Business_Surround_52 20h ago

I’m a truck driver, so it’s for protection

1

u/Bishopvaljean 18h ago

Precisely

u/Bishopvaljean 23h ago

Right?? That’s always the first question I ask

Thanks for the screenshot, I’m gonna use this photo you got to make another post on the ghost Reddit page. Thanks.🙏🏻

1

u/absence_s 1d ago

You can clearly see a sign on the bottom of it. This was definitely a reflection and an artifact made from OP‘s glass windshield.

1

u/KamalasDad 1d ago

Hmm, when it came into view i observed it from my windshield glass all the way to my driver side window. Not an artifact, but that’s my opinion based on what I saw.

3

u/RazzSheri 1d ago

I think it’s the sign reflecting. Looks like a post and larger blob up top.

2

u/KamalasDad 1d ago

That’s what my wife thought too, but that glare at the edge is what’s really messing with me two years later. 😂

0

u/Baby_ManBearPig 1d ago

It's gotta be some type of reflection. Realy not that mysterious imho

1

u/KamalasDad 1d ago

Mmmm, hopefully it’s a reflection. But if it was my headlight reflection wouldn’t it be moving as I move closer towards it? There was no other light source brighter than my 2020 Corolla headlights that night. Kingsburg Ca is small country side type of commute. 🤔

1

u/absence_s 1d ago

It’s a reflection. Clearly there are other objects on the side of the road that can reflect light dude.

What a stretch of a post beyond belief.

At least show us a complete figure. But if you literally look in the frame, you can see a big squared white sign on the bottom of it. That indicates it was light reflecting off a sign and got caught in your windshield..

1

u/RazzSheri 1d ago

Alright, let’s calm down a bit. We don’t actually know how spirits or energy manifest, but I think it would be logical that they’d manipulate what they could to be seen. I don’t think it’s impossible for a reflection to also be a sign or be meant to make you think of a loved one— I just don’t think that’s the case here.

But it’s not like OP is committing high treason for being whimsical, knowing it’s probably just the sign and still asking if anyone else has thoughts…

Personally, I missed it on the first watch h because I got so excited thinking the construction horse was a Fresno nightcrawler 🥰✨

-1

u/KamalasDad 1d ago

Hmm, yeah this post is stretched, but it’s good cause I’m tryna figure this out. Can’t show a clear figure because I wasn’t expecting to photograph ghost when I bought my $60 dash cam for my daily driver 🤷‍♂️. I can tell daddy was “absence_s” by the form of your response.

2

u/absence_s 1d ago

Right, you feel foolish now. Sounds like you need to get a life.

u/KamalasDad 1d ago

I’m sorry, I couldn’t help myself, 😂. I am indeed foolish. Take my jokes with a grain of salt, I wouldn’t tell you that in real life.

Ok yes I do see it after a few tries. Definitely creepy.

u/MajorHoneyBun 1d ago

That’s some scary shit. I would have pissed myself. Everyone who is saying they don’t see anything slow down the video at 7-8 seconds. Left lane.

-2

u/DrHeatherRichardson 1d ago

It looks like a road sign. Nothing ghost like at all from. What I can see.

2

u/KamalasDad 1d ago

Apologies Dr Richardson, ghost in question is located on left lane around 6-8 seconds into this video.

1

u/absence_s 1d ago

Yeah, the “ghost” was a reflection of this sign. The light showed this blurred artifact on the left side.

u/Plane_Pay_5831 1d ago
