A group of tourists, once in Austria, went on an excursion to the popular giant ice cave Dachstein in the Hallstatt community. One of the tourists started filming everything and commenting on what he saw.
The Dachstein Cave is located next to the Mammoth Cave and both caves are gigantic. The Dachstein Ice Cave is one of the largest ice caves in the world (the largest is Eisriesenwelt in Werfen, also in Austria) and the temperature inside it is zero. There is a lot of ice in its various forms and there are even ice pits with water.
When a tourist removes another wall in a cave, he suddenly notices how something white is rapidly climbing the far wall, resembling a human figure in shape and movement. The man in amazement gave this creature the nickname "ice ghost".
“He's climbing the wall, just look at this. My God, he may be a thousand years old."
In appearance, the creature resembles a very skinny Gollum (a character from the fantasy "Lord of the Rings") and it can hardly be a bat, newt or insect. At such temperatures, they would have frozen long ago.
The original video was uploaded to YouTube back in 2009 and has a lot of views, but the media drew attention to it only a few days ago, when this video was published by one of the promoted YouTube channels.

Some commentators claim that this is just a frog, but they object that such frost-hardy frogs do not exist. In the cold, frogs fall into suspended animation.
The problem is that it is very difficult to determine from the video what size this creature is. It can be the size of both a frog and a person, since in the dark you can not see how far the wall along which it crawls is.
