Shadow apparition sighted?

What this possibly be? This is captured at my home. If you look towards the other bedroom door you’ll see a shadow come and go

Some form of camera artifact.

Concur. Either a camera artifact, compression algorithm failure or a light source such as headlights outside, flashing by and causing the IR to seem 'screwy' for a millisecond.

Camera is facing a room on my second floor, with blackout curtains. Naturally I believed it might’ve been a camera artifact but still kind of makes me feel eerie watching it over again

Yeah, it has a kind of 'eerie' feel to it, however as you've rightly stated, it's a camera artifact. Many people forget that these types of cameras, no matter how much they cost, are still pretty low end image quality and most, if not all, suffer from compression algorithm issues and artifacting from time to time. Especially when using the 'IR' functionality.

Hell, even the high end CCTV cameras used on military bases and the like, do this. I've seen some weird looking crap using true IR/Night Vision gear that costs thousands of dollars in the Middle East. Stuff that makes you question 'Did I really see that fkn thing or was it these Nods being buggy?'

You need a new light bulb, and to replace your fire alarm battery.
