An odd piece of footage from Colombia appears to show an apparition lingering in the former mansion of infamous drug lord Pablo Escobar as it was demolished. The strange scene was reportedly captured last Friday in the city of Medellin when government officials razed the palatial estate using explosives. Shortly after the building was destroyed, a video of the event appeared online and a curious anomaly caught the attention of viewers.
In the footage, which appears to have been filmed by an individual in a nearby building, the sounds of a siren can be heard in the seconds before the implosion occurs. During this brief moment, what appears to be a translucent white figure can be seen running around a room as if it is in a panic. The demolition then occurs and the building, along with the apparition, vanishes in a massive cloud of smoke.
As one can imagine, the odd video has spawned suggestions that the figure seen in the footage was, in fact, the cocaine kingpin's ghost visiting his former home one last time. Skeptical observers have argued that the 'spirit' is actually a worker participating in the implosion project, although that seems somewhat unlikely as the anomaly can still be seen when the building crumbles to the ground, meaning that, if it were a person, they would have perished in the process.
