OVERLAND PARK, Kan. -- A surveillance camera at a workout club recently caught some mysterious images when no one was inside the building.

Like the name implies, Anytime Fitness is open around the clock. The idea is that people can work in a workout at their convenience.

The fitness club looks like any other new, well-equipped place until you look at the surveillance video.

"Every day when I come in, I review my surveillance. 'What did I miss while I was asleep?'" said Kim Peterson of Anytime Fitness.

But Peterson said she has no idea what she missed when some mysterious images were recorded on Sept. 12.

"They're motion cameras. So I thought, what motion is triggering it? And we kind of got a series of weird pictures we could not explain," Peterson said.

Peterson said she knows there was no one in the building when the camera started recording.

"At 1:59, you see the last member of the night leaving," Peterson told Chapman. "It shows the street as well."

But inside the empty building there appears to be some kind of light.

"It starts at 2:20 a.m. and goes on until about 4:14 in the morning, kind of off and on," Peterson said.

Chapman reported that no one shows up outside of the building after the last man leaves, shining a light inside. And Peterson said lights have never activated her cameras before.

"(I) called the security company and they said, 'We don't know why that light would make the camera kick on, but it sure is interesting. Can we download a copy?'" Peterson said.

Peterson said some of her customers are having fun with the idea of naming the fitness phantom with Halloween a month away.

"I'm a very open-minded person. I'm willing to look at and consider any possibility. It's certainly nothing that frightens me," Peterson said.

The security camera records at one frame a second, so the video is a little jerky.

Light reflection doesn't trigger the motion triggered cams so don't know eighter.
Maybe a bug on the lens out of focus ?

Look at the way it moves, it moves like a human/creature, not all random and herky jerky. A bug on the lens would be a good guess. Someone needs to send this video to mythbusters lol

It moves just like a mote of dust floating in convection currents. The dust mote is so close to the camera that it is out of focus, appearing fuzzy. In a calm enough area, the dust will float slowly enough that it appears to be moving rather smoothly at one frame per second.

Wow, that's a pretty good explanation. I'm impressed =) Sure beats my ghost theory lol

Good thinking but ......
In this vid they say those type of cams are used in 600 other buildings and none ever recorded something like this.

It came in and out sight of the cam 9 times and the cam doesn't get triggered by bugs,lights or dust.
Spoooooooooooooooooooooooky

I just watched it in full screen mode and the part starting at 40 secs is interesting.
It seems it walks and stops at those weight things and that chair before walking away.
Small child ?? heh heh heh

I'd get a video camera/webcam and point it at the camera that's motion triggered to see if it was a bug... looks like a small moth...
