Detectives say there is no way in or out of the secured area without the gates opening and an alarm sounding, KOAT Action News reported.

'I do believe in ghosts,' Ramero told the station.

'I don't know (what it was on the video), but we've had some unsolved murders in the area.'

The CCTV footage shows a murky image moving across the sally port.

Ramero believes it clearly shows something with legs.

Other officers say they have witnessed unexplained occurrences and sometimes felt as if someone was breathing on them.
