Blue spooky ghost image appears on surveillance video at Marathon Gas Station in Ohio.

The blue cloudy ghost image floating around at the Marathon Gas station in Parma, Ohio.  Some say it was an angel and that the gas station was built on an old Indian reservation.  It appeared for more than half an hour and caught on surveillance tape.  Whatever it was, people are driving to gas station to see it for themselves.
