This is the moment Pablo Escobar’s ghost appears to pace the halls moments before his eight-storey luxury mansion is demolished during an official government ceremony.

The notorious drug lord and his family lived in the Monaco building in the northern Colombian city Medellin during the 1980s when he built an estimated fortune of 25 billion GBP supplying 80 percent of the world’s cocaine.

Escobar died in a shootout with cops on 2nd December 1993.

The eight-storey mansion was demolished on 22nd February by the Colombian authorities who want to turn the site into a memorial park in honour of the estimated 46,000 victims of drug wars in the South American country.

However, during the demolition process, carried out with 375 kilogrammes (827 lbs) of explosives, eagle-eyed witnesses saw a ghost flitting through a corridor and shared the footage on social media.

In the clip, a white silhouette is seen anxiously flitting between a window and a large entrance before floating upwards and disappearing just as the building is torn down.

Netizens had a lot to say about the ‘ghost’, with many believing it may have been Escobar himself while others claimed it was a demolition worker in the wrong place at the wrong time.

‘Luz Adriana Martinez Gomez’ commented: “It is not a construction worker, it is a ghost. If it was a worker, he would not have been waiting there for the building to collapse. It is a ghost scared by all the noise.”

‘Ivan Andres Vaca’ said: “It is not a worker. There was a lot of negative energy there. It could be someone who was buried there.”

In March 2018, footage of a ghost – believed to have been Escobar – was also seen in a window of the abandoned mansion and shared on social media.
