The Halloween season is here, and as you're out trick-or-treating and causing trouble, Ring hopes you'll also catch some paranormal activity. The home surveillance company invites users to submit videos showcasing ghosts to win a $100,000 prize!
According to Ring, any paranormal activity—ghosts, ghouls, and anywhere between—is welcome.
"From supernatural sightings of floating orbs and unexplained shadows to family and friends wearing silly costumes. Funny, frightening, fashionable, all of it. If you find a ghost, we want to see it," the contest website said.
Only the first 5,000 entries received through November 1 will be considered for the grand prize.
Here's how to enter the ghostly contest:
- To share your ghost, log into your Ring account and follow the instructions.
- To be eligible, video clips must be 30 seconds or less and captured on an existing Ring device.
- The contest will run until November 1, 2024, at 11:59 p.m. (PT) or when 5,000 entries are received.
Finn Wolfhard (Ghostbusters and Stranger Things) and Paranormal Investigator Katrina Weidman will serve as part of the judging team for Ring’s Great Ghost Search.
Videos will be awarded points, with a maximum of 100 points available. Points will be awarded based on the following:
- Visibility or clarity of the "ghost" or ghostly presence.
- Whether the video surprises the judges with uniqueness.
- Whether the judges were "glued to the footage" and how entertaining it was.
- How unique the ghost’s engagement with the Ring device was.
