What to know about the Ring Doorbell Halloween challenge

The Ring Doorbell Halloween challenge began on September 24 and runs until November 1 or until 5,000 submissions are received. It will have winner, to whom the company will award $100,000 for a "not-so-haunted house, ghost-free getaway, or any other earthly expense,” according to a press release obtained by First for Women.

"Every day, we hear from our customers about surprising or unexpected footage captured by their Ring cameras. They love the ability to stay connected to what's happening — although paranormal sightings are understandably not the most welcome,” Ring’s Chief Commercial Officer, Mimi Swain, said in the same press release. "Now, during Halloween, the busiest doorbell season of the year, we're calling on customers to keep an eye out for any ghostly activity. If they do capture a ghost on camera, we're going to help them escape their haunted situation. After all, what's Halloween without a few surprises?"

Ring Doorbell’s Halloween contest features a star-studded judging panel, including actor Finn Wolfhard of Stranger Things and paranormal investigator Katrina Weidman .

"Ring is known to catch all kinds of activity—but I know if I saw a ghost on my Ring camera, I'd want to move out as fast as possible," said in the press release. "This Halloween season, I'm relying on my Ring camera to alert me of any activity happening in and around my house—even if it's the spooky or paranormal."

Wolfhard also posted a funny video, highlighting the competition on his Instagram. You can watch it below.

How to enter the Ring Doorbell Halloween challenge

If you think your video is spooky enough for the Ring Doorbell Halloween competition, all you have to do is submit it to ring.com/ghostsearch. You can also share your creepiest footage on social media by tagging @Ring and using the hashtag #RingGhostSearch to boost your chances of being featured.

Ring and the judges say they are looking for something “seriously silly or totally unexplainable”—just like the sample video shared on their Instagram .

The doorbell company also shared another example of a video on their Instagram with the caption quoting the user who shared it: “I noticed that the passenger door was wide open, so I walked around [and] closed it. As soon as I closed the door, the car attempted to start by itself. It was really creepy. I thought maybe my son was in there messing with me. I walked back over to the driver’s side and leaned in, and when I checked the keys, they were in the off position and every hair on [my] body stood straight up.”

Good luck! May the spooky odds be ever in your favor.
