Think I saw a ghost on camera and nobody believes me

We moved into a large Victorian terraced house a few months ago. Always lots of strange noises but obviously in an old house you expect this, but some couldn't be explained like laughing in the bedroom (walls are think and you can't hear next door unless they're actually drilling into a joining wall!). Footsteps on upper floors etc. Along with that the rooms would turn icy cold all of a sudden, even in this hot weather you would be hot and sweaty one minute and then freezing cold the next. I have felt uneasy a lot. When DH went away to China I was here alone and just constantly felt like I wasn't alone. I'm not one to be frightened of the dark etc but there is no way in hell I would walk around this house in the dark. The dog seems really withdrawn and constantly anxious. Ears prick up constantly and he growls and cries for no reason which he never used to do.
DH gets really angry whenever I talk like this, he suffers nightmares (always has) and spooky stuff freaks him out so he gets very defensive and tells me to shut up about it but on a couple of occasions he has come into a room downstairs and looked confused to see me as he thought he'd seen me walk past upstairs etc.

ANyway because nobody will talk to me about this I bought some cheap cameras off eBay, the ones you stick on the wall and you can watch the room from your phone. I periodically watch them at work.
Yesterday I logged in at work and there was someone standing by the kitchen sink. It was a woman's figure but wasn't moving. I ran to show a colleague but it had gone by the time I got to her. NOBODY believes me and DH says if I can keep with it he will actually leave me as I'm making him feel ill.

Wtf. Am I going crazy??! I know logically ghosts don't exist but I can't explain any of this unless I am actually losing my mind. AIBU to wish someone would at least help me look into it properly?
We're in north of England.

5foot5 I was thinking the same...
Either OP is making it up. Or not making it up and there's some funny business going on (but not ghosts).
I don't disbelieve OP, I'm just not sure what they've seen is a ghost.

Don't worry guys...she's OK, got another thread going!

I believe you
We have a very old house (1875) and we have 'house guests' as I call them.
Luckily Ive never felt scared as I'm fearful. Scared as in in-nerved though yes!
I think we have a male spirit (although we haven't felt him recently) and a child spirit. She's around a lot. We feel her presence and I've seen her a few times. She's very playful and I'd say about 7?

Maybe have a chat with your vicar? They can help a lot I believe

Do you feel your ghost is not nice? Maybe she is getting used to sharing the house way new person/people? I know our spirits in our house were more active when we first moved in and again when we did some renovations. Like they weren't keen. We were going to knock walls down etc but decided against it and as soon as we decided not to and stopped talking about it, the 'happenings ' subsided!

google "space clearing".... it cleanses a home of past negative energies, it's a ceremony you can do yourself. I recommend Karen Kingston's book about it "creating sacred space with feng shui". If you don't decide to do it yourself you can find someone else to do it and it will give you the background behind why the place feels bad and what you can do about it.

I always thought this too. I remember a story about a woman who claimed that she went to a hypnotist to regress to her past life, and discovered that she had been an Egyptian princess (or something) and she and her true love had been betrayed by a guard who wanted to marry her for her power. She also discovered that her boyfriend at the time was the reincarnation of the guard, and her life mission was to find the reincarnation of her true love. Her words were "we parted after that", which I always took to mean, "I went home, told my boyfriend that he was the reincarnation of a guard who betrayed me and my true love when I was a princess in Ancient Egypt, and he replied, 'Oh fuck off love.'"

That’s brilliant lol

Why do you need people to believe you, people are indoctrinated only to believe what can be measured by instruments less able to understand the world better than your marvel of a physical body. They’re real, many hoaxes but they’re real. You’re a ghost in a body, your ghost has stripped the body and aspects of its consciousness clearly can’t leave the material place so, just leave them be. If they become a menace you must set intent and do something to clear the air of negative energy like burning Palo Santo.

Could it have been something on the camera lens like some dust or a fly or something that you interpreted as the figure of a woman?
