Ring, known for its iconic video doorbell and line of security cameras, put out a call for the greatest ghost sightings during the busiest doorbell season of the year. Ring users who haven't yet joined the search have until November 1, 20242 to submit their footage – from real paranormal proof to family and friends in costume. One winner will receive a $100,000 cash prize to help escape what haunts them, whether it's to put a down payment on a new (not-so-haunted) house or go on a ghost-free getaway (rules here).
Example Submissions So Far:
- Figure appears in front of home, sits down, and moves drink to the floor – video here (captured in Los Angeles, CA on a Ring Video Doorbell)
