This spine-chilling CCTV footage appears to show some ghostly goings in the empty corridors of an American school.

Pocatello High School in Idaho has been plagued by supernatural occurrences, with staff and students reporting whispers, strange noises and even a large shadow that looms in an auditorium ceiling.

But what had previously been little more than rumours and hearsay has taken a turn for the strange – with unexplained security camera footage capturing the imagination of ghost-hunters the world over.

Staff at the school discovered the poltergeist-style happenings when they looked over CCTV films on their return from Christmas holidays.

The real-life horror movie shows lights randomly turning themselves on and off before a transparent mystery figure emerges into a corridor before returning to a deserted classroom.

Teachers have previously called in ghost busters, with paranormal probers discovering there have been six deaths on school grounds, including a boy who drowned in the pool.

The school buildings were also destroyed by fire in 1914 and had to be rebuilt from the ashes before reopening four years later.

Closer to home, a shop dubbed Britain's most haunted was in the news again last week when CCTV captured the moment a medium visited to investigate – and witnessed a picture of a SKULL tumble from a shelf.

The poltergeist-type event was captured on CCTV at Barnsley Antiques Centre, which has been plagued by ghostly goings on according to the shop owners.

In September, business partners Danny Parker and Rachel Archer said they were 'shocked and scared' after reviewing CCTV footage that showed the glass door of a large display cabinet opening in an empty room before exploding into tiny pieces.
