Some netizens believe that they have seen evidence that ghosts are real and that they are among us. In the new Amazon Prime show by British TV presenter and journalist James May.

Amazon's new documentary "James May: Our Man in Italy" has become an Internet sensation. Not least because ghosts appeared on the background of his show. Standing in the ruined ancient Roman city of Pompeii, which was destroyed in 79 AD when Vesuvius erupted nearby. May was explaining some historical details in the document when viewers noticed one of the ghosts.

When May talks about how they are standing in a mass grave, a ghostly vision can be seen in the background. It's a faint, fuzzy figure, but it definitely looks like some kind of translucent person. Although this is clearly a ghost, that is, a faint vision of a deceased person, not everyone is sure. That what they see on their screens is actually a supernatural entity. One person suggested that what looks like a ghost is probably someone walking in the background of the frame. Which the film crew tried to edit.

But what is most surprising, this was not the only ghost that viewers saw in the series. As others have noticed more "ghosts" lurking in the background of the Amazon Prime documentary series. And surprisingly, May himself commented on the unexplained incidents that occurred on his new show.

Using Twitter to comment on the ghostly figures in his show. He said that no one saw the "ghost" during filming. Therefore, it must be a real ghost, or perhaps the result of a video recording failure.

"Thanks to everyone who pointed out the "ghost— in the third episode of my new series about Italy," May tweeted. "No one saw him at the time, so it's either a real ghost. Or (which is more likely, but also more boring) just a small error in digital files."

But others believe that this is just an unreasonable viral marketing ploy by the "James May: Our man in Italy" team. To make the show go viral on social media about ghost sightings and make people watch the show that way.

Original news

James May’s new travel show, Our Man In Italy, has already made it to number 1 in the UK on Prime Video. And while fans are going mad for a look at Italy’s rich culture through May’s eyes, a few have spotted something strange on the third episode.

Fans have spotted a “ghost” during episode 3 of the show, which they saw walking through a number of clips.

This made such a buzz on social media that The Grand Tour presenter was forced to give an explanation for what people were seeing:

“My thanks to everyone who has pointed out the ‘ghost’ in ep3 of my new Italy series,” the presenter posted to Twitter.

“Nobody saw it at the time, so it’s either a real ghost or (more likely but also more boring) just a bit of digital file corruption.”

This came after multiple fans asked question about the weird visual oddity:

“In episode 3 of our man in Italy at 35 mins 51 seconds you can see a faded man walking from the left side of the screen to the right side slowly disappearing as he walks.

“Did we just see a ghost on tv? Or was it some editing problem?” someone asked.

Another user questioned the validity of May’s explanation:

“Digital corruption. Hmmm not a chance.

“Maybe if you were recording in analogue. And the editor didn’t notice….

“I think your team are playing silly buggers with you. Can only be added after the fact.

“Or you have a ghost following you. . . . #OurManInItaly”

A third blamed the issue on an editor having a laugh:

“Trolling editor. Once is explainable as a ghost, but three times? Someone’s having a laugh.”

Fans were deep into questioning the reason behind this addition to the episode, with one wondering if it was simply a promotional tactic:

“James, this is a VERY cheeky way to get me to watch your new series.”

James May: Our Man In Italy is the second series of May’s travel show after a successful initial series as he explore the country of Japan. This time, he’s traveled to Italy, beginning his trip in Sicily before making his way up the country to explore the meaning of “la dolce vita”.

From playing Sicilian bagpipes to driving Ferrari’s latest sports car, the Roma, on their famous test track, May is able to sprinkle his humour onto a knowledgeable trip through one of the greatest counties on Earth.

“I hope that was as enjoyable to you to watch as it was for me to experience. But I bet it wasn’t,” he jokes in the trailer.
