Josh and his friend returned to the scene for a closer inspection but found no one occupying the bench.

This led them to believe that the misty figure they captured was indeed a phantom presence. The sudden disappearance of the apparition left Josh convinced of its otherworldly nature.

 "It was definitely a male figure, so it very well could have been the ghost of a soldier," he said. As he adjusted his focus for a closer look, the figure vanished, leaving him in awe and disbelief.

Then, his skeptical family and friends were intrigued by the video.  For Josh, the footage serves as undeniable proof of the existence of ghosts.

After the incident, the video was shared on social media and sparked debate about the present ghost in our lives.
