We’ve all heard of Call of Duty: Ghosts, and we’ve all met the operator named Ghost, but one player now claims to have found an actual ghostly Easter egg hidden within Modern Warfare II.
Last year, CoD’s Simon “Ghost” Riley made the headlines quite a lot for varying reasons. Firstly, because some fans were annoyed that new players thought the guy was hot. Yes, that’s actually a thing that happened. Then, it was later reported that he could be getting his own spinoff game in an unannounced anthology series, which is a really exciting prospect. Thanks to these things (as well as the aforementioned 2013 title), it’s not unusual to see the phrases ‘Call of Duty’ and ‘ghost’ together in the same sentence. This time, however, it’s for a far spookier reason.
Take a look at some non-spooky gameplay footage from Modern Warfare II below.
As GGRecon reports, one player recently took to the r/ModernWarfareII subreddit with evidence of what they believe to be paranormal activity within one of the game's maps: “Captured video evidence of paranormal activity on Taraq. I've been so scared I haven't touched the game since,” Neon_Moons wrote, along with the video clip. Take a peek below.
Looking at the video, it’s hard to tell if this is an Easter egg or just a strange glitch. As the player explains, as they ran under an archway in-game, a silhouetted person’s arms suddenly dangled down from above. However, as soon as they turned back around to get a better look, the ghostly apparition had disappeared.
“Genuinely pretty creepy, probably a little Easter egg they put in the game,” smalllittlebigman responded. “Great, now this game is f***ing haunted too? I’m out,” wrote 97RAYMOND.

Whether or not this was intentional, it’s still kinda eerie. Who knew that Modern Warfare II was actually a horror game in disguise?
