Ghost Wolf

[IdeomotorPrisoner]

I can never go strait to a ghost. So, as always, I immediately try to rule out all other possibility. That led to jump scare trail cam clickbait and regular trail cam footage. 

I tried to figure out if "bleedthrough" effects happen on trailcams, and if they are digital memory cards or tape.  It looks like all bleedthrough examples I've seen though. Don't know if it's that happens with digital or not..

No conclusive answer though. 

 I found other effects, like ghost raccoon eyes in a video that didn't even note the ghost effect.



Anyway, start at 1:10 for the best view of the ghost eyes (between the trees), which is a reflection moving with the eyes of animal in frame.  

To still try to be the autistic buzzkill again, it may be still be a ghost image that captures an actual wolf, just from a previous video. Artifact of digital recording? Like data not getting fully overwritten. Leading to a similar effect as tape.

ETA: 

I asked Chat GPT: "Why does my digital trailcam footage show a transparent ghost wolf run through frame?"

Answer:

The appearance of a transparent ghost wolf in your trail camera footage can be attributed to several factors: 

1. **Motion Blur**: If the wolf was moving quickly, the camera might have captured motion blur, creating a ghostly effect on the video. 

2. **Low Light Conditions**: In low-light environments, cameras often struggle to capture clear images. This can result in artifacts or digital noise, giving the impression of a ghostly figure. 

3. **Glitches or Malfunctions**: Digital cameras can sometimes malfunction, leading to artifacts in the footage. This can happen due to firmware issues, low battery power, or storage card problems. 

4. **Reflection or Light Effects**: Reflections from nearby surfaces or sudden changes in lighting (like a flash or a vehicle's headlights) could create an illusion of a ghostly figure. 

5. **Wildlife Behavior**: Some animals, particularly at night, may appear more ethereal due to their speed, coloration, or how they interact with light.

So It could just be an actual wolf, low light conditions, and motion blur. Number 3 seems most possible. And that's the best non-paranormal answer.
