Staff at a 150-year-old former jail where 15 prisoners are still buried within its walls were stunned after a ghost threw books from a shelf.
Video showed five books inexplicably plunging to the floor one after the other with no-one around.
It happened in an empty bookshop at the former HMP Belfast known as Crumlin Road Gaol.

Seventeen prisoners were executed in the prison, the last being Robert McGladdery who was hanged in 1961 for the murder of Pearl Gamble.
Bizarelly, all five books shared the same title: ‘Hanged at the Crumlin Road Gaol’, as reported by Need To Know.
“The shop had been closed and a security guard doing his checking points later that night noticed the books lying on the floor,” a spokesperson said.
“He was suspicious because it was all one title of a book we stock – Hanged at Crumlin Road Gaol.
“Books on either side of it were not touched.
“He replaced the books and asked for a review of the CCTV in the area the next day as he suspected a customer had done it deliberately before the shop closed.
“When we reviewed the CCTV this is what we discovered.
“The gaol has a haunted past with 17 men hung during its 150 year history.
“Fifteen are still buried within its walls.
“We have a lot of reported incidents happening in the past but this is one of the most clearest signs recorded on CCTV.”
The gaol closed as a prison in 1996 and it was empty for many years.
In November 2012, the prison opened as a tourist attraction and conference centre and now hosts concerts.
It played host to the 2020 UK’s Strongest Man competition and was used as a location for the third series of the BBC children’s TV series The Sparticle Mystery.
