TV director Sean, from Liverpool, in Merseyside, said: "When we saw it we were wondering who the figure was and when we enhanced it we could tell it was something that shouldn't be there.

"When we saw it we got excited. It's great when you capture something like that because it validates our investigation.

"The crew were taking the pan shots and they didn't realise that this figure was walking across the window. No one was in that room.

"The lights would have showed them up if someone was in there. There were only eight members of crew and everyone was accounted for.

"The landlord didn't come back to the pub until after we had finished filming, so bizarrely no one was in there.”

Local stories in the area tell of a monk who used to wander a secret underground network of tunnels and goes by the name of Cuthbert.

The footage captured by Sean shows a dark figure walking past the top living quarter window, which was empty, and is believed to be the first time that the monk has been caught on camera.

Sean added: "It is believed that the monk comes from a friary in Newark and used to wander a secret underground network of tunnels there.

"It is not the first time the monk has been seen at the Rutland Arms but it is the first time he has been captured.

"Many psychic mediums have said they have been psychically connected to the monk and he goes by the name of Cuthbert.

"We did not see this figure at the time and it was only once we had the footage in edit that we came across what we believe could be Cuthbert, the monk who haunts the location."
