Spooky 2017 Video Of 'Ghost Passengers' At Thailand Airport Is Back On Social Media — All About The Viral Footage
Viral Video: A widely shared video from Phuket Airport in Thailand shows 'ghostly figures' moving on an empty aerobridge.
Phuket Airport Viral Video: A 2017 video purportedly showing "ghost passengers" on a standalone aerobridge at an airport, seemingly in Thailand, is being widely shared on social media again. The spooky footage, apparently captured by the pilot of another plane on the tarmac, shows the "floating" passengers going nowhere after exiting a non-existent plane as the gangway cannot be seen attached to any aircraft.
The video shared on Instagram has left the viewers baffled, with many of them calling the ghostly figures victims of a crashed flight "stuck in a loop".
"They are in Limbo, not realizing they are dead. Doing the last thing they did before a pane crash... repeatedly," wrote one user, with another adding: "if you look closely they are not walking, they are floating."
A third user posted: "Sometimes when people die suddenly.. they don’t realize they are dead and they get trapped in a loop..."

The footage is said to be from the Phuket International Airport in Thailand.
The video posted on Instagram a few days ago had over 1 lakh 'likes' and more than 1,000 comments at the time of writing this report.

What's The Truth Behind The Spooky Footage?
The video seems to have been existing on social media since August 2017.
Many users commenting on the latest Instagram post said the moving figures were the "lost souls" from a commercial plane — "Flight 269" — that had crashed at the Phuket airport, leaving many dead.
There had been such a plane crash indeed, when a One-Two-Go Airlines plane operating between Bangkok and Phuket crashed next to a runway at the Phuket International Airport on September 16, 2007, according to media reports from the time. The plane was carrying several foreigners, and the accident had claimed at least 90 lives, remaining one of the deadliest incidents to have occurred in the aviation sector in Thailand.
However spooky its connection with the viral video may sound, the interpretation lacks logic.
An August 2017 report in The Sun offered a more plausible explanation about the video, which it described as an "optical illusion".
The report said the "floating figures" captured in the footage were simply a reflection of the busy brightly-lit airport on the shiny glass exterior of the aerobridge. The report had a day-time image of the gangway to drive home the explanation.
