Ring Seeks Video Doorbell Captures Of Paranormal Activity
Starting today, Ring, known for its video doorbell and line of security cameras, is asking customers to search their Ring camera footage for evidence of ghosts.
Ring users can submit videos of paranormal activity captured on their Ring doorbell or camera now through November 1, 2024 for a chance to win $100k to put toward a not-so-haunted house, ghost-free getaway, or any other earthly expense.
Finn Wolfhard, star of Ghostbusters and Stranger Things, and Paranormal Investigator Katrina Weidman will serve as part of the judging team for Ring’s Great Ghost Search, helping to select the winning entry.
“Ring is known to catch all kinds of activity – but I know if I saw a ghost on my Ring camera, I’d want to move out as fast as possible,” said Wolfhard. “This Halloween season, I’m relying on my Ring camera to alert me of any activity happening in and around my house – even if it’s the spooky or paranormal.”
Contest Details:
- Submission Period: 12:00 AM PT on September 24, 2024 to 11:59 PM PT on November 1, 2024 or when 5,000 entries are received, whichever occurs first ● How to Enter: Ring users can submit their ghostly footage, from real paranormal proof to family and friends in costume, at www.ring.com/ghostsearch.

“Every day, we hear from our customers about surprising or unexpected footage captured by their Ring cameras. They love the ability to stay connected to what’s happening – although paranormal sightings are understandably not the most welcome,” said Mimi Swain, Chief Commercial Officer at Ring. “Now, during Halloween, the busiest doorbell season of the year, we’re calling on customers to keep an eye out for any ghostly activity. If they do capture a ghost on camera, we’re going to help them escape their haunted situation. After all, what’s Halloween without a few surprises?”
