Nice find, DeadbyDawn!
The building in the background is the Church of St. Nicholas (or Saint Nicolas Church if you're searching). Here is someone's vacation picture of the facade, and here is a neat wikimapia of the area (the Tyn is over to the right).

This is still a needle in a haystack. The image itself appears to be Old Town Square. The related image is Tyn Church. I've tried all combinations I can think of and still come up empty handed. I've found the use of "Praha" and "Praga" instead of Prague so, there are still a million videos out there that could be associated. Perhaps Goldstein knew someone in Prague and thats what led him to this video?

I think you can search by upload date, yes. At least, put a search of videos in update order then go through the pages to find the right date. I've been searching on ratings too.

I've searched for HOURS too myself and just can't find anything. I'm concentrating mostly on the related videos video purely because I can't be sure of the run length of the grandfather video. Looks like 30 seconds to me, to others 36 or 38. If it's stopped at 19 seconds, this might not be the middle of the vid and identifying it from a thumbnail is tougher. So I'msearching and skimming thumbnails for an exact match on the related videos video. If we can find that, the video we're looking for will be listed down the side. That's if it still exists....sigh.

Well, first of all, Goldstein was a paranormal investigator, so my money would be on some paranormal type video.
Regarding the date - the problem with date searching by post date is that a) youtube does gross date estimations (3 months ago, 4 months ago), and b) we may be looking for a comment posted to an OOG video clip, which could have been posted long before July 07 (this looks to me like a grassroots ARG, and it seems to me that someone based in Argentina would have a hard time putting together a youtube video shot in Prague. Correct me if I'm wrong here, oh ye of greater experience)

I also searched for hours and hours and hours... Unfortunately, youtube will not sort by duration (an option many other video sites enable). I am almost certain that this video is not tagged with "old town square Prague", because I literally went through hundreds of videos with those tags and came up blank (including various permutations of said tags).

Considering the amount of videos on youtube, and the fact that Matt managed to take the worst possible picture of a youtube page (conveniently hiding every single bit of data) makes this task almost impossible in my mind. It would take an amazing streak of luck to find this based on the info we have now.

I don't know if this helps, but you can search youtube videos by google video search.

Spent an hour searching YouTube, and came up with nada.
Although, I think I may have now seen more of the Old Town Square in Prague than people who actually LIVE there have seen!

CAN ANYONE GET A HOLD OF THIS MATIT GUY? He never responded to my message on his site, I can try emailing him again. It would really help if he would open dialogue with us so we could learn more about his grandpa. What sorts of paranormal things did he investigate? did he have a specialty? was he working on something when he died?

These things might lead us to the video. Lets bombard the guy with emails!

hey, just found out that the astronomical clock in old town square is said to be haunted. Has been known to stop for 2 days at a time. Maybe it has something to do with that?

I've tried searching "astronimical clock" on youtube, but I might have missed something. I'm trying now with "ghost prague"...

Thanks for getting back so quickly, natas. I just emailed him again.

Interesting... gotta be careful about what we assume to be IG though.
A google search for his name brings up numerous hits... it's good that it's in Buenos Aires, but then it's also a place his name might be common...?
I don't see much connection to here outside just the name, and it appears in a bunch of places.
*hopeful* though
