Elevator Ghost: The Video That Terrified 1.3 Billion People

Below is a video that was recorded on February 21, 2008 at the Raffles City Tower in Shanghai. At around midnight, two men enter the elevator. Watch closely...

So - real or fake? And if it's fake - who did it? How'd they do it? And why? Here's
the answer.

Are you kidding me? This "terrified 1.3 billion people"? Who can count that high? lol.

So, what: the Raffles City Tower stands on the former site of a hallowed old-age home?? The geriatric ghosts are shuffling out to the old bingo room?

Ooooooo, scary.

[vandegrasse]

You want to be horrified. Look at the one I made.

What do you mean by terrifying 1.3. billion people?

[insouciantlad]

Is it real or fake? Are you actually asking that idiotic question?

[sparkandy]

Who cares? It needs to be sent to a lot of people's work and maybe it will scare the idiots who run the place and the real workers won't have to work late any more!

Pretty good short movie, I loved how the long, dead-ordinary sequences kept building up the suspense in the tradition of good horror movies. Who cares if it's fake, I enjoyed it!

[CarlyCorday]

That is so fake, but OMG, it scared me so bad!!! The little hairs on my arms are still standing straight up.

[RezidentBivrip]

How could ANYONE thing that's even remotely real? Especially in this age of special effects?

[KillgoreTrout43]

For amatures, it was pretty good. But I agree, who could really think it was real?

[bartonfink]

so what would a "real" ghost look like, exactly? like better cgi? those silly amatures...

[shroomingnewman]

hey! thats my grandmama!

[SLCPunk]

Yeah, the fact that the two guys got on the elevator and situated themselves precisely in the camera frame gives it away.

Oh, that and it's completely fake looking.

[unscum]

Fake and a prank.

I didn't see the vid. Feel I don't have to the office building where I work IS haunted, how else do you explain it going fast, going slow, stopping at floors that no one requested, doing the roller coaster thrill ride stop, closing on people while still in the doorway. But you get used to it.

[FeloniouslyAnnoying]

Um... any number of far more reasonable explanations... can't explain something instantly so your mind goes for ghosts... god I honestly hope you are joking.

[CarlyCorday]

I believe you, JScott.

My sister's antebellum house in Missouri is haunted. One night she was arguing with me because i wouldn't spend the night--she kept saying there was no ghost, if there used to be one, it was GONE now, and suddenly, way upstairs, where nobody was, a door slammed so hard it was like a gun going off.

In that house, after you go to to bed, something thumps up and down the stairs, opens and closes doors, all night long. It's just horrible. My sister and her husband have "chemical solutions" to living with this nerve-wracking situation, if you know what I mean, so they're happy in their lovely old house, remodeling as they go, taking it easy, loving it.

God, that was painfully fake. Apparently all the simpletons who are freaked out by this old movie trick have never seen "The Ring."

[harumph]

The thing that tipped me off immediately was the fact that there is a bank of at least 3 elevators yet they only have a camera in one of them.

Although I fail to see what it has to do with working long hours, it is very clever and funny. Good going!
