Sounds like a different sort of website to me, n'est-ce pas?
ls it French for “relaxing in a gentleman’s way”?

Well, certainly "main" means "hand", from the same root that gives us "manual" and, more convolutedly, "manipulation". But I am led to believe that this - or, at any rate, the analogous - manner of relaxation is not restricted to the spear side.ls it French for “relaxing in a gentleman’s way”?
I stood outside my front door dressed only in my boxers shorts, set my phone to video and started recording.
Any thoughts..?
Hmm. What kind of phone was it? Did it upload automatically to the cloud?
Best I can think of, short of it being a camera glitch, is insects being illuminated, say by an infrared light, and the camera seeing the infrared (which it shouldn't be able to do, phone cams have IR filters).
Were there absolutely no lights, not even one slightly visible through the trees, that could could a lens flare?
Were these lights precise little dots (perhaps as small as a pixel), or were they "blobs"?
Did they move in straight lines, or did they curve / zigzag during movement?
If they moved in straight lines, were these apparent paths strictly horizontal and vertical (within the frame of the image)?
Did you keep the phone fixed in one position (e.g., resting on a surface), or were you holding it "free" in your outstretched hand?
Did your phone cam have any built-in ranging or auto-focus capabilities?
Oh - wasn't there a story in the FT about a witness seeing a ghost cigarette moving alongside him on a country lane, as if an invisible person was smoking it? Might have been on the IHTM page.

This sort of thing popped into my mind too, as phones do capture IR beams that we can't see. As this chap says with his excellent accent, "Normally, infra red light is totally invisible to human eye." He shows how you can check using a tv remote. (I think I'd listen to him reading terrifying eastern European folktales in that deadpan style)Best I can think of, short of it being a camera glitch, is insects being illuminated, say by an infrared light, and the camera seeing the infrared
I need these! I'm in Texas, and the gun nuts here must see that I have gnome nuts.Another possibility : Sniper gnomes hiding in the trees. They hate having cameras pointed at them and the red dots are their laser sights as they aim at the phone.

Mabel Chinnery, she wasn’t a medium she had been to visit her mother’s grave and she took the photo when she and her husband returned home. 1959.It's reminiscent of that other medium's car photo, the black and white one with her husband in the front seat and her dead mother appearing in the back seat, except no one knows who this girl could be. She does look quite 1970s from what you can discern.

A quick google is not showing any references to her being a medium, happy to be proven wrong if anyone can come up with evidence? The event happened in Ipswich.Are you sure she wasn't a medium? I seem to recall reading that she was (though handily can't remember where I read it).

Oh, thank you for posting that. We need more West Riding representation in the media, and her short sequence about "me mam's an arse" or "not manning up, womanning up" could is pure Andrea Dunbar. (People think Alan Bennett can ventriloquise Yorkshire wit, but he's much more Harrogate than Buttershaw...)This one might very well be completely fake but for some reason the one of the cleaning lady really creeps me out. I can barely stand to watch it.
