I finally watched the video and it reminds me of two of my favorite YouTube comments ever. “Was this filmed with a potato?” and “If I had a dollar for every pixel in this video, I’d have 14 cents.”

I couldn’t identify a bulldozer if it drove through there, let alone this fart in the wind that they call a ghost. I guess that’s the picture you get when you stick a camera up your sally port.

I dunno… I think it moves like a spider.

Maybe its the ghost of spider who lost six legs in a tragic and fatal accident.
