Paranormal Activity: Would camera have captured image of possessed child?

The images you will see in the following video have left many netizens with their hair standing up. They were reportedly recorded by a baby monitor and show a little boy crying a lot and calling for his mother. Also, the video - if it is real and not the product of some joke or montage - shows something quite disturbing. Watch:

The clip was posted in early March by Chris and Keelan Chronicles YouTube channel and by the time this article was posted it had over 5.5 million views. In fact, the video does not provide much information - just the fact that the scenes were captured in the middle of the night by a baby sitter, that the baby is not a child of the channel owners, and the clarification that the child was not injured.

Guesses

According to Metro portal Hattie Gladwell, the film has been sharing opinions about what might have really happened. While many expressed concern for Connor's safety - that seems to be the child's name - there were those who suggested that the baby might be possessed, that the scenes could be part of a new horror movie, and that everything was created with a Nice dose of image editors.

On the other hand, Connor's frightened screams, his apparent superpowers as a tightrope walker, and his cradle fall are nonetheless disconcerting. The Metro staff consulted two researchers on paranormal subjects, and both raised a number of interesting questions, such as the fact that no sane parent would release a video in which their son appears screaming desperately.

Moment when the boy seems to disappear from the scene

Also, if we pay attention to the minute 0:27 of the video, although in the audio the child is screaming for his mother, his mouth does not seem to form a word, and later, at minute 0:41, some netizens say the baby disappears from scene completely. Thus, although the images are somewhat frightening, there is evidence that it is just a frame. And you, dear reader, have any guesses?
