Anderson, SC (WYFF) - City Hall in Anderson is abuzz about something eerie. Employees at a business center say they've seen a ghost--and they can prove it.
"Like I said, we really have no idea, what it could be," says Rob Colbert, a security guard at the building.
It's a white blur that moves across a surveillance image of a room at the building. It will pause, then move again, then speed up from time to time.
Immediately they tried to come up with explanations of what it might be. They tried closing the blinds thinking that it might be a reflection from outside. But instead of disappearing, it showed up again.
In fact, with the blinds closed, it looks even clearer than before.
Another explanation they considered was a bug on the lens of the surveillance camera, but even after they cleaned and sealed the camera cover, it came back. Even if it is an insect, it seems to only come around in that particular office.
"I've checked the tax office, the business license, community development, even the basement," says Mark Cunningham, the building's information technology director.
City employees say it doesn't cause any trouble.
"If it is a ghost maybe it's Casper the friendly ghost," says
Frances Parham, a city employee.
They've even given it a name--Claie. Clair is short for 'Clairvoyant.'
