A casual night out among friends turned into an unsettling online discussion after one person reviewed a short street video and noticed a disturbing detail that no one caught at first. The account, shared in a social post, describes how what started as a normal “happy video” later appeared to show a figure with what viewers described as a severed or missing head.
The Detail Wasn’t Noticed Until Days Later
The post says the video stayed on the recorder’s phone for several days. Then, while commuting to work, the person browsed their gallery and came across the clip again. They watched it but did not notice anything strange at first, mainly because their attention was focused on their friends in the foreground.
The recorder then sent the video to their group chat on Messenger. Not long after, the reaction changed quickly. When the recorder checked the group chat after arriving at work, friends were reportedly “panicking” and flooding the chat with messages. They claimed the video had captured something in the background: a person appearing to walk along the street with a “pugot na ulo,” or a headless look.
The post does not specify if the figure was close to the camera or far in the distance, but the reaction suggests the detail was visible enough for multiple viewers to point it out independently.
Clothing Similarities Deepen the Fear
What intensified the group’s concern was a second detail. The post claims the colors of the figure’s clothing, including the jacket, shirt, and pants, appeared to match the outfit seen in a photo of a friend who passed away last year.
This similarity changed the tone of the conversation. The group reportedly grew more frightened, with some interpreting the image as more than a camera glitch or an optical illusion. The recorder, unsure at first, replayed the clip repeatedly to confirm what the others were seeing.
The post says the video was rewatched around four times, and the recorder concluded that the unsettling detail seemed to be there each time.
Original Still Kept
After the group reacted, the recorder deleted the video from the Messenger group chat. The original file, however, was still kept on the phone, according to the post. That detail suggests the person was not fully ready to erase it, even if they wanted to stop the panic in the chat.
Posts like this often go viral because they sit in the space between fear and uncertainty. Some viewers may suspect compression artifacts, motion blur, low light, or a split-second obstruction that makes a person look “headless.” Others may read it as something paranormal, especially when grief and coincidence are part of the story.
