WASHINGTON (UPI) -- Glass-smashing orbs, a "Grey Lady" haunting a Game of Thrones location and Ohio's Doorway to Hell are among the spooky sights caught on camera this year.

CCTV footage captured at England's Barnsley Auction Center shows a glass cabinet window opening and shattering with no people or animals in the room to take the blame. Some have attributed the shattering to mysterious blue orbs that appear briefly in the video prior to the cabinet door opening.

A neighbor of the auction center said the building has always been haunted.

A police officer in Espanola, N.M., said he was watching security cameras at the police station when he spotted a potential supernatural apparition. Officer Karl Romero said the object first appeared to be an insect flying near the camera, but he soon determined the object was shaped like a human.

"I do believe in ghosts -- I don't know [what exactly was on the video], but we've had some unsolved murders in the area," he said.

An Irish photographer taking pictures at the Dark Hedges, a group of intertwined trees near Armoy, Ireland that have served as a shooting location of HBO fantasy drama Game of Thrones, snapped a picture of a floating white figure dubbed the "Grey Lady."

Locals said the Grey Lady, a legendary ghost said to inhabit the area, could explain the shape seen in Ballycastle resident Gordon Watson's photograph, which at least one photographer has said was not digitally altered.

A camera crew shooting a ghost-hunting segment in the Philippines for the ABS-CBN news magazine program Rated K captured video of a white shape that resembles a woman holding on to the bars of a flight of stairs at a home in Manila's Tondo neighborhood.

Cameraman Violan Pardo said he spotted the ghost in the home before it appeared in the camera footage.

A team of British ghost hunters, the Sefton Paranormal Investigators, said they captured footage of a suspected ghost roaming the Liverpool Medical Institute in England.
