This video was captured by Paranormal and Supernatural Seekers of Trumbull County, Ohio at The Knickerbocker Hotel in Linesville, Pennsylvania on October the 9th 2009.
There are three cameras present one is recording the video we see here. Another is pointed at the cam that is taking the video. Let me explain, investigators at The Knickerbocker have, from time to time, had their cameras moved or knocked over for no apparent reason. Now we encourage cameras to point at one another whenever possible.
The third camera is not in this scene at all but instead at the bottom of the staircase recording whatever might be coming up the stairs. Watch the movie, I’ll tell you more.

This movie is was captured by
Paranormal and Supernatural Seekers of Trumbull County, Ohio.
I have not been informed of the exact time of night the video was captured, obviously it is after the team has gone dark and all cams are using infrared. All still photos, of course require flash.
The bright spotlight in the upper center of the frame is the second camera, the spotlight effect is its infrared light being picked up by the recording camera.
If you look at about floor level, through the staircase balusters you will see a flash about two seconds before the “object of interest” appears near the top of the stairs. The flash has been determined to be the camera flash of an investigator snapping a photo in the back area. The area of The Knickerbocker where The Children’s Room and The Angel Room, among others, are located.
Please notice that the stair balusters and handrail remain stable throughout the video. The object of interest is behind the balusters and handrail but in front of the white woodwork to the right, which is the entrance to The Conneaut Lake Room. This detail effectively rules out the shadow figure we see as being an anomaly of the recording camera.
Investigators from Paranormal and Supernatural Seeks have reviewed the third camera, located at the bottom of the stairs, and determined that at the time this video was captured there was not interference from below.
In other words, what you see is what you get. We are expecting a lively discussion and varied opinions as to what this “Shadow Figure is all about. Feel free to join in. Comment right here or join the chat on The Knickerbocker Cam page, where we have nine full time, real time cameras, two of which have sound.
The owners and associates of The Knickerbocker are always in awe and appreciation of the selfless dedicated and professional efforts of not only The Paranormal and Supernatural Seekers group, who have provided us with this stimulating evidence, but of all of the groups and investigators we have been privileged to host here.
