A video shot during Hurricane Florence shows what its creators claim may be a famous gray ghost walking along a pier.

The Ghost Guys Go posted a YouTube clip of what say looks like a transparent, human-like shape appearing and walking along the empty promenade in North Carolina during last week’s storm.

They have speculated that it may be the ‘Gray man ghost of Pawleys Island’, and said the ‘apparition’ was spotted by paranormal investigators Jim and Billy McClency while watching a livestream during last week’s storm.

According to MailOnline, the Gray Man is the ghost of a young sailor who appears during stormy weather to warn locals of the danger it poses.




He is said to have been returning to Pawleys Island in neighboring South Carolina to ask a woman to marry him.

According to the myth, he was caught in a storm, and flung from his horse into quicksand where he drowned.

The Ghost Guys Go also shared a link to a ‘professional analysis’ by the ghosthunters who’d first spotted it.

Jim McClency added: ‘Sometimes other Professional Ghosters don’t take us for serious, but guess what?

‘We got this awesome clip and you didn’t. Boosh. Even if you don’t like our style, the clip speaks for itself.’

But not everyone was convinced that the clip shot during the storm that killed 31 showed a real spook.

Several viewers posted comments below speculating whether the camera was placed in front of a window which could have caught the reflection of someone walking behind it.
