Spirit of 3,000 year old ancient Egyptian priest ‘caught on camera walking into tomb’

A "hooded shadowy figure" believed to be the ghost of an Ancient Egyptian priest has been captured on camera haunting a museum.

The figure was filmed at Leeds City Museum which holds the tomb of ancient Egyptian priest Nesyamun who died more than 3,000 years ago.

Footage shows ghost hunting couple Sean Reynolds and Rebecca Palmer investigating claims that the museum is haunted .

All the equipment can be heard in the clip beeping – indicating that supernatural activity is taking place near to them – and moments later a black shadow crosses their path.

Sean and Rebecca were filming for their paranormal TV show at the museum in March this year when the hooded apparition was seen.

Sean believes the spirit they saw on the night of their investigation was the ancient Egyptian priest Nesyamun.

Sean from Liverpool, Merseyside, said: "All the equipment was going crazy and that only happens if something sets off the alarms.

"It was Jane our camera lady who saw the shadow. We didn't at first so we just had to trust that it would be there.

When it came to editing the video we were praying it wasn't just something she had seen with her own eyes. It was great to see we had actually got it and it's so clear.

"The top of the shadow was in the shape of a pointed hood and it walked straight into the tomb on the right. It's the tomb of a priest called Nesyamun. I definitely think it could be his spirit.

"From what I know, the museum is meant to be quite active with reports of Nesyamun being seen.

"So our first visit to a museum that's meant to be haunted by a mummified priest and we managed to film a shadowy figure darting off into his tomb. It was brilliant.

"As much as I believe in the paranormal I like to be sceptical so the first thing I do when we capture something is try to debunk it.

"For one of us to create that shadow there would have had to be light behind us but there wasn't. And there wasn't anyone walking behind us.

"And you can tell when there is actually something there, you can definitely sense it."

Paranormal TV producers Rebecca and Sean use a REM pod, which emits an electromagnetic field, and a shadow detector - both of which can be heard going off in the video.
