An eerie home security video that has gone viral online shows a dog's collar inexplicably being removed by an invisible force that many viewers suspect could be a ghost. The unsettling footage was posted to TikTok by shannyfantg on Sunday and has amassed a staggering 12.5 million views since being shared on the site. The spooky video begins with her two crated dogs furiously barking for around 20 seconds until they both fall silent for no seemingly apparent reason before things take a truly strange turn.
The pair of pooches remain completely still for approximately twenty seconds, during which it appears that the footage briefly freezes, until the collar around the black dog's neck begins to slightly move. Suddenly, the unfortunate animal is violently pulled towards the corner of its crate until the collar falls from its neck. As one might imagine, many of the millions of viewers believe that a ghost is to blame for the peculiar scene.
For her part, shannyfantg echoed that assessment, arguing that some kind of spirit removed the collar from her dog and indicated that "this happened about a year after moving into this house, nothing happened for almost two years, now things are happening again." Meanwhile, skeptical observers argue that the footage could be a clever fabrication using CGI. What's your take on the unnerving video? Weigh in with your thoughts at the C2C Facebook page.
