If looking at it frame by frame, the figure seems to hesitate a bit before first stepping out, as if peering to make sure no one is around. And then walks in an almost tiptoe-like fashion, as if still worried about being discovered.
I'm not sure where the assumption that she is an elderly woman comes from specifically, though maybe her cautious gait could be interpreted as old-age awkwardness and frailty. I suppose there's also the optimistic initial tendency to assume that an intruder could have wandered off from a senior nursing care facility, caught in the scrambled memory-fog of dementia, and entered a home that perhaps resembled a place they had lived at in the past.
But the camera monitoring suggests that the residence is well-equipped with an alarm system, so how a bewildered "somebody's granny" manages to get in far enough to prowl about indoors surreptitiously apparently requires the front or back door to be negligently left wide open or the warning system to be inadvertently switched off.
EDIT: I forgot about the dog barking, which is what that couple actually seems to depend upon as their alert device. If there was anything more to the home's security system than the camera(s), then it just wasn't working. And one of the entrances was indeed left unlocked, if no window or door damage (as if an "elderly woman" wearing nighty apparel and carrying no tools could have otherwise broken in).
Yeah I'm not buying the old lady intruder at all. As you note, she takes a second to look around the corner, which isn't something an old demented person in the wrong house would do. Ghosts on the other hand do do that,often peeking around corners. (see video below). Also there is the persistent issue of how she got into the house and into one of the back rooms. She isn't seen coming thru the front door and isn't seen going down the hall into the back room. And then of course nobody is discovered in the house at all when the homeowner goes into that area and checks the video. Combine that with other mentioned strange incidents, even before the video was taken, and you got a classic haunting.
With respect to that creepy kid, one can set aside the issue of whether the video is real or doctored. Since either way, the question still arises of: "What the heck?"
They later talk about the "child" having changed -- displaying white eyes (glossy, glowing, etc). But it featured those in the first scene, too ("My first experience down there..."). Under the perceptual variations of live conditions and without replay, it might be understandable how a person making the video would not notice that back then.
But after all parties have had plenty of time to observe the footage several times and reflect on it -- it's a disconnect how they could not discern the consistency of the eyes in a comparison of the first and last scenes. (The middle one is too vague to indicate what the eyes were.)
They seem to be deliberately ignoring it to build up drama about: "He's different now! The eyes are weird -- scarier, threatening!"
Of course, theatrical manipulations like that are hardly unusual in even non-recreational news or regular television journalism. Where they too will ignore something obvious to drum up tension about an event or development that they're reporting about.
With reported ghosts of children, often picked up as their distinctive voices/giggles/singing on audio, one is confronted with the disturbing possibility that these kids can somehow get "stuck" at certain locations in the afterlife. The little girl named Jackie often heard for decades in the pool area of the Queen Mary is one such example. I personally don't want to believe such a heartbreaking prospect. Seasoned paranormal investigators such as Zac Bagans suggest they are actually demonic entities disguised as children in order to get people to interact with them. I don't like the idea of "demons" per se either, but there may be negative entities that feed off our fear and distress. So I remain cautiously agnostic.

IOWs ….we haven’t seen her.
As of 2023 Zac Bagan’s net worth penned at $30m. I’d be hearing and seeing ghosts all day long for that kind of grrrr.
So Zac Bagans is a phony because he makes a lot of money investigating the paranormal? That all ya got? Sounds like yet another unprovoked attack on someone's character to me. He's been doing this for 21 years on TV series/documentaries with astounding results. If he was a con artist I'm pretty sure that would've come out by now.
Or at the end of the hall to the left... exactly where the figure takes a couple of steps toward before turning left out of sight? You know, through that doorway.
Apparently you don't know the difference, as the video artifacts here are also affecting the background, and moving objects are more distorted by video artifacts.
In this latest one, I'd suspect an actual hoax. He conveniently doesn't "investigate" the two where an accomplice has nowhere to run. And the one he does "investigate" @1:18, he announced he's coming ("here we go, ready?") and we see the shadow flee to the left, likely behind that wall we don't see behind. And As Zin has pointed out, this guy would have every incentive to hoax.
At least MR has nothing to gain (except defending his deep-seated and unquestioning worldview)... which is why I believe it's blind faith for him.

I already totally debunked the old lady intruder theory..There's nothing more to defend here. The only explanation that fits is that it is a real ghost.
Quote:In this latest one, I'd suspect an actual hoax
Of course it is.Which totally explains the grey white-eyed appearance of the boy's face and how it actually transformed in the last video catch. And no..there is no trace of a boy in the room that the guy immediately enters after seeing him. And if it was a real boy somehow running out of the room at supersonic speed, you'd definitely hear the stomping on the wooden floor on the audio. And we don't. So no, real boys don't silently vanish into thin air. Ghosts do. And he even says he's been "playing tag with this thing, and every time I go.." meaning he has certainly chased it before only to turn up nothing. No suggestion of a hoax whatsoever.

So you really think there's a door behind that table at the end of the hall... or it didn't pass through a solid wall?
You can't claim victory when you don't/can't answer simple questions. You do know a prime dementia symptom is confusion about time or place, right?
Transformed? You mean between two different sightings, where there would be plenty of time to change things up? Yeah, what a mystery. 9_9
There's a whole wall to hide behind, that the guy doesn't bother to inspect. Plus there's music playing over the clip. Nothing supersonic about being given ample warning. Really, you "stomp" when you simply move fast? Like a fucking toddler?
"He says" means nothing. He's obviously financially incentivized to lie. Otherwise, he could show more of the "every time I go" footage. But he only shows the one with an obvious and easy hiding spot.

So why is the boy's face grey with white eyes? Because that's not a real boy. Ghosts often appear as grey with white eyes. If you weren't so ignorant of the paranormal you'd know this.
Quote:There's a whole wall to hide behind, that the guy doesn't bother to inspect.
Right...he didn't inspect the whole shack after that either. Having repeatedly looked around the corner and found no one totally explains that.

You'd be able to hear someone running on that old wooden floor. And yes..the faster you run the more force your feet exert against the floor. Try it sometime moron.
Quote:Do ghosts cast shadows?
When they take a solid form they do. Look at some ghost pics sometime.
Quote:"He says" means nothing. He's obviously financially incentivized to lie.
Really? So what's the going price for authentic ghost videos? How much did he make on that video?

You think a hoax is just going to use some kid off the street?
Ever hear of makeup, dipshit?

Doesn't show that he did, so you have no idea. You're just preaching your blind faith.

Again, only if you stomp like a toddler. Maybe that's all you can do.
I can move very fast on wooden floors without making any noise at all.
Do you assume any hoaxers must be wearing combat boots?

He makes his living on this stuff. You posted the wiki on him yourself. @_@
