Bizarre CCTV footage has emerged from an auction house in which a glass cabinet door opens by itself in an empty room – and inexplicably shatters.

Staff at the Barnsley Auction Centre in south Yorkshire assumed there had been a break-in when the cabinet was found open with glass all over the floor.

But after owner Danny Parker consulted the security camera footage, he was shocked to find that there was no evidence of anybody being in the building – and he is now considering the prospect that the auction house may be haunted.

‘It’s all a bit spooky really. The electrician had gone out for 10 minutes and locked the building because nobody was in there.




‘When he got back he stepped on the shards of glass and had no idea what had happened.’

‘He went all round the building trying to find someone but couldn’t find anyone. After looking at the CCTV frame by frame I saw the glass shatter.’

Despite checking all 16 of the building’s CCTV camera, Mr Parker still could not explain what happened and says he will be wary locking up on his own from now on.

‘I’ve never believed in ghosts before but this has really spooked me.’
