SCROLL DOWN FOR THE SHOCKING VIDEO

Don't believe in ghosts? A spooky surveillance video from a store in Gilford, New Hampshire has even skeptics reconsidering their opinion of the supernatural.

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering on the ground after store employee Heidi Boyd leaves the room.

Upon hearing the noise, Heidi rushes back inside to see what the raucous was and is terrified to discover that a glass object managed to propel itself from the table and into a scattered pile of sharp glass shards.

Store owner Steve Buzzota told WMUR that while objects haven't traveled by themselves before to his knowledge, customers and employees have sensed a ghostly presence and have even 'felt their shoulders being pulled. '

The video was first shared on the Ellacoya Barn & Grille Facebook page which is connected to the store, with the tag line, 'Haunted much?'

Since then, skeptics have questioned the validity of the tape. Some say they think that the glass was yanked from a string out the window. As a WMUR reporter pointed out however, the window doesn't open.

The Mail Online called the store to inquire about the event and other ghostly happenings. What employees and neighbors experienced was more chilling tales of the bizarre.

Employee Nicole Brandt was not at the Ellacoya Country Store at the time that they glass shattered but she said that strange sounds occur from time to time with no apparent source.

She said that when she works at the deli counter cutting meat, she hears people entering the room but when she turns around to greet customers no one is there.

'You can't see who's up front,' she said. 'It sounds like someone's there and no one's there.'

She also said that someone could hear whistling sometimes.

She said that the restaurant connected to the house was originally a barn but that the store was once a person's residence. She doesn't know firsthand who lived in the home.

The tenant upstairs from the store chimed in and said he heard strange noises.

He said that after the store is closed and everyone has left the vicinity, he starts hearing noises downstairs as if someone were there.

He can hear what sounds like someone or something coming from up the stairs walking down to the seemingly vacated room.

Looks like it could be fake. Why doesn't she hear the plate smashing? She is within range of the sound it would make.

Kat, you live in Atlanta. If I lived there, I would have to be on something. As I don't, I do not take drugs and never have.

I conducted a paranormal cyclonically induced paradigm shift and determined that what we clearly have here is a vortex induced transcendental cosmic paradox. My conclusion is that all glass should be secured on lower levels of in store cabinetry. Thank you.

I've never believed in ghosts, and I'm skeptical of this video. I'm assuming this is a hoax. However, when I was a kid a friend of mine lived across the street from a cemetery. His bedroom window looked right out over it. We were sitting there one night, and his RC car came on all by itself. We were all sitting in the same place watching a movie; the RC car and its controller was sitting on the floor across the room. It came on, zoomed across the room, hit a wall, flipped, continued running for a second, then stopped. I assume that some kind of radio transmission from nearby had caused this to happen. But we never did know for a fact why it came on. It was a strange experience.

Most RC toys have interchanging frequencies. Not uncommon if some other kid around the neighborhood had one.

In the top of the frame you see lights flash, like sunlight be reflected off a moving vehicle, it happens seconds before the glass moves. I suspect it was a larger vehicle or truck that caused vibrations in the old building. Those vibrations moved the object. Living in London over an underground line I have first hand experience of objects moving due to vibrations from passing trains.

Yes, a bit like that spinning Egyptian statue in the Manchester museum. Turned out to have been caused by daytime footfall.

It's probably a hoax and publicity for the store. In the video I saw nothing happened at all. Convenient that the woman walked away and then it allegedly happened.

Two questions: 1.) Was the counter wet or dry? 2.) Is the counter perfectly level? If the counter or the cake dome were wet they could have supplied enough lubrication that it could have slid down an almost impreceptable slope. I have seen full glasses of water slide across moist counter tops due to slight slopes.

I don't know if it's supernatural but it could be a natural phenomenon which we don't understand. A similar thing happened to me when I was about 12. A glass candle stick slid across a chest of drawers. Nevertheless I ran like hell and only touched one single stair on my way downstairs.

I know exactly what you mean. A lot of things happened to my brother as a kid--it really scared us. Now that we are all older we laugh and joke about the incidents but we've never found any real explanations--not that we care to...somethings are better left unknown.

That's true Sara, well said.
