Is an area high school haunted? Asheville is abuzz after video was captured by a motion-activated camera at Asheville High school at 2:51 a.m. Friday, August 1. In the video, a dark image –some say looks like the silhouette of a child- appears by an elevator. The image advances forward and is again captured in the hallway.

It’s something, so far, the Asheville School District says can’t be explained. Charlie Glazener, Executive Director of Public Relations for the District says, “I’m a logical person, and I wanted to be able to explain to these folks, or anybody, this is what I think it is. It’s a bat flying around here, and it casts a shadow; but then why is the shadow down here from a different angle, and it’s not in the shape of a bat?” It’s that shadow cast on the floor that has even the skeptics perplexed.

my daughter goes there…….she has a friend whose backpack would un-zip itself at school. he would zip it up, and soon after it would be unzipped again. it happened so often to him that they teased him that there was a ghost doing it.

school is starting in 12 days. what timing!

It’s not a bat, it’s the shadow of a bird perched on the HUGE WINDOWS OFF CAMERA TO THE RIGHT.

It looks exactly like a bird, and it even shoots up and flies away.

as for the shadow "advancing"…well..gues what is just outside the doors with their huge windows? THE STREET.

And what do streets have? Why, cars with HEADLIGHTS ON.
