An old video screamer titled "Ghost" (circa 2006)

hallguy Yeah I'm just saying that it sounds a little unrealistic. I'm sure flip phones didn't have web browsers back then, so this person couldn't have downloaded it on there. The only way the video could possibly go on the phone is if someone connected it to a computer and sent the phone. It just seems unrealistic, why would someone in 2006 save a screamer video, or even a YouTube video on their cellphone.

Unless you're saying it was a recording of a video, not the actual video itself. Then again I don't think many cellphones then could record video/take pictures.

hallguy

Pmb1226 Well that's something I kinda don't understand either (why this person had this video on their phone). It was a phone like this one. But yeah, the only way that could've happened is that this person downloaded it from a computer. I only know this happened back in 2006 because this song had just been released around the same time I watched the video (though the video wasn't released on YouTube until 2009).

Pmb1226 Or it might have been sent via e-mail, who knows.

hallguy By the way, do you or any family members have the phone that the video was supposedly downloaded in?

hallguy

xyz Yeah, that's something I've been told, too. It was common back then (screamer videos via email).

hallguy

xyz Unfortunately no. I've asked for it to the person in question but they got rid of the phone long time ago.

xyz

hallguy Ok.

xyz

hallguy So to my knowledge you tried searching for the screamer on Google and YouTube?

hallguy

There was this guy who used to make a lot of jumpscare type videos back in the day (the one who created the ghost chair video). I sent him an email about it not long ago, but unfortunately he said he had never heard of that video. It is likely that at this point the video in question is lost media.

xyz

hallguy That is a possibility, but if the video was downloaded, it has to have come from a source (unless it was deleted from that source)

hallguy

xyz Yes

hallguy Alright I think I found a post you made on r/tipofmytounge where you said your dad would show you this video on his cellphone, and the final image was a picture of someone shining a light on a truck and some cars.
Was the screamer the last part of the video or was there anything else after that?

Pmb1226 I found another reddit post he made: https://www.reddit.com/r/HelpMeFind/comments/renhzo/help_me_find_an_old_jumpscare_video_titled_ghosts/

hallguy

Pmb1226 Oh I think you got that wrong. This is the sequence:

Black screen with the title "Ghost"
The image you mentioned earlier (someone shining a light on a truck and some cars)
The screamer itself (image)

Now, I never looked at that last image, but my mother did. She described the jumpscare as a mummy-like nun.

xyz "My goodness, there really is a Wikipedia for everything. I love it!"
-User on Reddit "FlamaGramma" on finding out the Screamer WIki exists

xyz

Pmb1226 Yeah i saw that a few hours ago too lol, the guy who made this post hasn't found anything appealing on the wiki but who knows

xyz

xyz There are so many screamers with the word "Ghost" on the wiki that it can sometimes be hard to find one that fits your description, there may be a video that fits hallguy's description, but who knows.

xyz

hallguy mummy-like nun? I'mma search that up on the wiki and see if i find something.

hallguy

xyz Yeah, it's incredibly generic. That makes it even harder to find.
