Is Lincoln Cathedral haunted? Spooky footage sparks speculation site is home to a spirit

DOES this spooky footage prove Lincoln Cathedral is haunted? A ghostly apparition was caught on camera by dad-of-two Paul Jackson while visiting the 705-year-old gothic building with his son on February 6. 

Is a ghost haunting Lincoln Cathedral?

 The 46-year-old IT engineer caught what appears to be a sprightly spirit passing across the width of the Willis Organ while on a roof tour. He explained: "We didn't spot anything strange at the time but when I was reviewing the footage I noticed this orb and thought 'what on earth is that?' I didn't know what it was."

Paul maintains the video is genuine and not a 'hoax'

 Paul posted the video on his YouTube channel ArcturanMegadonkey where it has been viewed 13,980 times. Several users commented on the spooky clip, offering their ideas for what the ghostly shadow could be.

Dean Edelsten suggested it was a ghoul that "guards the church grounds for night hawkers" while David Hopper wrote: "Wow very spooky."


Others were more sceptical of the sighting, with some claiming it was a reflection, a pigeon or even a hoax.
Paul told the Lincolnshire Echo: "I've got better things to do with my time than come up with a hoax.
"I personally think the best explanation is that it's a high powered torch from the tour group below the organ.
"I tend to approach things from a scientific point of view so I'm not a natural believer in ghosts.
"But you just can't be certain.
"I love the cathedral - it's a stunning building so I hope the video will encourage more people to go on cathedral tours and see it for themselves."
