Employees at Wellington Indoor Market in Telford, Shropshire, were shocked when footage showed what appeared to be a shadowy figure pushing over a stack of heavy boxes. Kay Boakye, manager of the market said: “Basically, we came into the market in the morning and the boxes were all over the place, on the floor and over the stairs. We thought there had been an intruder so we obviously went straight to the CCTV. We couldn’t believe what we saw. The first person who watched it was the caretaker David Chapman.
“I came in two minutes later and he said: ‘Boss you need to see this.’ All the hair stood up on the back of my neck. There was nobody there when the boxes fell off. We watched it again and we could see the shadow walking up the stairs then chucking the boxes over.” The market, which dates back to 1244, is held inside a Victorian building. And Mr Boakye said the May 4 phenomena isn’t the first spooky sighting at the market as staff often see or hear unexplainable things when they’re on their own.

He said: “Sometimes there are strange things that go on when people are alone, some people say they have seen a shadow go past them. Once there were two people alone in the market, they were talking when they heard coughing coming from the other side of the building. They thought there must be someone else there but when they looked around it was totally empty. We also have times where the hand-dryer starts on its own or doors slam.”
PJ Godsell, from investigators Mercia Paranormal said: “The video is quite interesting, we don’t often see a lot of CCTV footage as it’s often not regularly checked which means that we can miss out on a lot of evidence. One of the problems is that because people watching the video know what they are looking for, because of the force of suggestion it is more than likely that they will see something. My initial reactions from watching the video is that this is probably explainable, but we would never say 100 per cent that it is not paranormal.”

I'm sorry but i don't see a shadowy figure, all i see is gravity in action
There's a heap of empty boxes, and eventually one crumples under the weight of those on top, and they fall over. No pushing or pulling visible, just gravity. No shadowy figure either, just momentary distortion on the stair are. My bet would be a small, out of focus spider crossing the glass over the camera housing.
What you see here is simple and explainable, nothing sinister or mysterious.
(in part of this week, I've been watching altogether too much security video after a break-in at my place of work, I could probably find you several bits that look just as mysterious, if you don't know what's going on just out of the frame).
stair area, I meant, not 'are'
I was waiting for the monster to jump out at the end.
Its ok soubriquet, we are able to fill in the blanks.
