Watch: Ghost Appears in Background of New Amazon Documentary Series?

By Tim Binnall

A recently released documentary series on Amazon Prime appears to feature an apparition that briefly manifests behind the host of the program as he is speaking in front of a mass grave. The spooky anomaly reportedly pops up in the new show James May: Our Man in Italy, which centers around the former Top Gear co-host visiting various sites throughout the country. While watching the third episode of the series, several viewers at home were taken aback by the sight of a somewhat translucent figure that emerges from behind a tree and moves across the background while the host is talking to the camera.

The odd detail is made all the more intriguing by the fact that May just so happened to be visiting a mass grave when the incident occurred, which has led some to speculate that the puzzling form was, in fact, a ghost. After the mysterious moment wound up being shared widely by people online, the host even took to social media to acknowledge the weirdness, writing "my thanks to everyone who has pointed out the 'ghost' in ep3 of my new Italy series. Nobody saw it at the time, so it's either a real ghost or (more likely but also more boring) just a bit of digital file corruption." What do you make of the puzzling anomaly?
