Hahahaha it seems to me in my stupidity of coming to conclusions that I have mistaken an invisible spirit for what looks to be a locust, oh well same thing I suppose.

And now ive watched it at least 50 times i swear. its the weirdest thing. There seems to be a small winged animal or large insect (possible dragonfly, cicada, or as you suggest, locust). But then if you look closer, its just odd. It seems to be holding onto something and dropped it upon take-off, or it was tangled in a bit of debris and it came with it when it took off. And its quite a large insect if its an insect - by comparing with my hand in the video, it seems like its wingspan is at least 6-8 inches. Locusts dont get that big - do they?

i dunno, maybe im just seeing sh1t that aint there! cool find regardless

Yeah you can actually here a click as whatever it is takes off, I dont know how many times I watched it thinking what on earth is that. As I have seen poltergeist phenomenon happen in a similar way, where objects move and take off, I then posted it here to see what others thought of it. Then a couple of hours later it dawned on me that it had wings so I was instantly a little embarrassed at my original conclusion.
