Next on "Paranormal Caught on Camera"...

Aah! Aah!

Oh, whoa.

...a very haunted house...

This was a black, very dark experience,

and I did fear for my life.

...creepy, creepy creatures...

Is it a cryptid? Is it an alien?

What is it?

...ghosts on the playground...

There's no wind.

Look at the other swings, and look at this

It's moving around as though something invisible

is pushing it.

...frightening fairy tales...

Oh, my God.

We're seeing a human form with wings.

...invasion at the Pentagon...

Turn right. Turn right. Turn right.

Do you see it?

What the is that?

This UFO was on a mission

to see what exactly we're working on militarily.

...and even more paranormal footage

you have to see to believe.

Every day, countless people witness something

they believe is paranormal,

and with more cameras out there recording than ever,

it's becoming clear with each new video,

they may be right.

For most parents who take their kids to an outdoor playground,

the only real dangers they have to worry about

are their little angels getting some minor bruises

and skinned knees,

but one Rhode Island dad was recently confronted

by an entirely new playground fear --

ghosts.

Conimicut Point, Rhode Island, is a quiet stretch of land

where the Providence River meets the Narragansett Bay.

It has a picturesque beachfront park with a small playground.

It's everything a child could want,

but when Scott Denton arrived with his kids in June of 2016,

it also seemed to have something else.

- All right. - This is scary.

We're at the playground, and the kids

don't want to go anymore because look at this

This is real. Look at this.

One of the swings in the entirely empty playground

was moving while everything else remained completely still.

The family stayed in the parking lot,

looking for some logical explanation,

but couldn't find one.

There's no wind out here right now.

There's no one on it either.

Look, there's nobody on it.

- It's just moving. - There's no wind.

Look at the other swings, and look at this

There's nobody out there.

This has been going on for about 2 minutes.

There's no wind right now,

and this thing is swinging like crazy. I'm not...

Oh, my God, it's going faster.

It's going faster.

- Look at it. - I know.

What makes this footage interesting is,

when the father pans, you see the trees.

You see the leaves, but nothing is shaking.

It's just this one specific swing.

It's moving around as though

something invisible is pushing it.

There's no wind right now,

and this thing is swinging like crazy. I'm not...

Oh, my God, it's going faster.

It's going faster.

- Look at it. - I know.

You want to go to a different playground?

There's nobody out there.

It's hard to say what that was,

the largest swing just moving violently and crazy.

Ghosts aren't real,

or wouldn't the other swings be moving?

There ain't nobody here, dude.

This ain't a joke.

Nobody. I mean, some people...

There's no... Look at the other swings.

They're not even moving, look.

Every time the man pans back,

the swing seems to have lost no momentum or none of its energy.

It's still just going pretty consistently.

Look at this

That's weird.

Playgrounds can have a reputation for being haunted,

and it makes sense

because so many hauntings are emotion-related,

and in a playground, you have a lot of people

in heightened states of emotion.

Usually, children are having fun.

They get injured on playgrounds,

so there's some unhappiness as well,

and that can create an energetic residue

that can literally stick to the landscape

and can contribute to haunting phenomena.

Perhaps it's a residual haunting of a kid

who maybe had an accident around the playground.

Maybe they hit their head.

Maybe they passed on, and this is where they reside.

What is the wind doing?

Legit...crazy.

I saw the swing.

Jenna, you can't go on that today.

Sorry.

I really liked that it was more of something interesting

and not scary.

The father was like, "Well, maybe not today.

This is not your swing set, so another time."

I liked that reaction to spiritual phenomena

because I don't think it's something we should fear.

I think it's something we should accept in our day-to-day lives.

While the family was curious enough

to stay and film this eerie phenomenon,

they never left the car,

not wanting to find out what might happen if they had.

I don't know if it was the right decision to stay in the car.

I might get out, go try to make a new friend,

try to talk to it a little bit.

Be kind, and you never know.

Maybe the kid can have its own little ghost buddy.

You want to go to a different playground?

There's nobody out there.

The Pentagon --

the epicenter of America's military operations.

Behind these steel, reinforced concrete walls

are some of the most powerful secrets in the world.

Governments around the globe would love

to get a look inside this modern-day fortress,

but a recent sighting above the Pentagon

has many wondering if something extraterrestrial has its sights

on those secrets as well.

In December 2018, friends Richard and Nick

were driving through Washington, D.C.,

when they noticed something peculiar in the sky

across the Potomac River.

Oh, man, what is this?

This is a alien invasion.

Off in the distance above the Pentagon,

of all places, is a hovering, slightly rotating pyramid shape.

What is this? I mean...

What the] is that?

Now, it seems to be large.

It seems to be semi-translucent.

It's hard to really get a fix on.

There's no lights on it.

There's nothing reflecting off of it.

Where is it?

Give me the camera.

I got you, baby.

I see it.

Turn right. Turn right. Turn right.

Do you see it?

This UFO looks to be possibly two football fields long,

obviously triangular.

Triangular-shaped and even pyramid-shaped UFOs

have been seen in various locations.

Are they secret terrestrial craft

or are they something from another world?

Man, do you see it?

At first you think reflection on the window,

but they drive around.

They look at it from different angles.

They took the camera away from the windshield

and move it to the side window, and they still saw it.

The thing that struck me about this video

is how consistent the shot is

and how incredibly difficult it would have been to composite

something like that into the frame.

The fact that they changed directions,

and it didn't, it stayed stationary,

means that it couldn't be a reflection.

It was something out there.

Richard and Nick weren't the only ones to witness

this striking sight over the Pentagon.

Another witness also managed to film the floating pyramid

while working on an art project a bit further away.

I am Alexander, and I filmed a pyramid

hovering over the Pentagon.

What I found the most intriguing was that as it slightly rotates,

you see one very dark angle of it.

It would be hard to do that if it were a reflection.

It would be hard to do that given the light coming up

from the ground and the fact that it was nighttime,

so there's no sunlight coming from above.

I can't explain what this is.

Slow down, man.

Slow down.

So what was this mysterious pyramid craft

hovering above perhaps the most secretive building in the world?

The fact that it was huge and just hovering

over the center of our national security

leads to a lot of questions.

It's not a coincidence that UFOs hover around

our most powerful places

and, of course, Washington, D.C., and the Pentagon.

It doesn't get more powerful than that

but seems as if this UFO was on a mission

to see what exactly we're working on militarily

and regarding our weapons abilities.

Whatever it was, it's very intriguing,

and I imagine that the conspiracy theorists

are going nuts over this video.

What is this? I mean...

What the is that?

Coming up...

...a very real fairy tale.

Ugh!

The belief in the existence of fairies

has been around

in almost every culture around the world.

Is there a reason that people from opposite corners

of the globe have such similar legends?

Could it be possible

that these things may actually be out there?

One family in England may have filmed proof

that the existence of these creatures

is not a fairy tale after all.

Throughout history, people have long been enchanted

with the idea of small winged creatures

fluttering around causing mischief.

There have been legends of fairies

going back hundreds of years.

They call them by various names --

fairies, sprites, wood nymphs.

There's stories about fairies in northern Europe,

in Ireland, in Scotland, in England, into Scandinavia.

There's even folklore about fairies in China

and Eastern Europe, all throughout the world,

and there's different ideas of what fairies are.

Some say that they're actually, like, you know, deities.

Some say that they're fallen angels.

In the paranormal, fairies are just seen as other spirits,

so if you live in a house that is built in fairy land,

you kind of have to respect them.

If you piss them off, they could be seen

as being mischievous or even vengeful.

This video from a father

and his children in Bournemouth, England,

picking apples has racked up millions of views,

as people debated whether it proved the existence

of actual fairy-like creatures.

The father was filming throughout their journey

to the apple trees

when they accidentally made an unusual discovery.

He brings us to a particular branch where I think,

"Oh, it's a dragonfly. Okay, what's going on?"

And you often see dragonflies together,

two dragonflies or mutated bodies,

and I figured, "Okay, this is just a dragonfly."

As they looked closer in the tree

at what appeared to be an insect,

they got an unexpected surprise.

Ugh!

It pops off the tree branch,

and you clearly see two arms and two legs.

Oh, my God.

We're seeing what clearly appears to be a human form

with wings, pausing momentarily...

Oh, my God.

...right in front of the camera,

and in that instant,

it certainly looked like the typical description

of what we know as a fairy.

If it was just the two legs,

the dragonfly explanation

could probably still hold some water,

but the two arms and the head didn't seem

like anything we know of except fairies.

Fairy or no, this family wasn't taking any chances

with whatever they just encountered.

Once he saw it, and it flew towards the camera,

they took off as if something was attacking them.

He saw something that he did not want to mess with.

- Oh, my God. - Ugh!

I might stick around because fairies also,

in theory, have the power to heal,

so maybe I'd stick around, see if it was a good fairy.

So are real fairies out there after all?

Most myths do have some element of truth in them.

We can't say for sure,

but sometimes you see these videos

that appear to have fairies in them.

- What is that? - I don't know.

So it might very well be exactly what it looks like.

It might be a fairy.

- Oh, my God. - Ugh!

Coming up...

something sinister stalking the California night.

Native American folklore is full of strange

and frightening tales of spirits, demons

and monsters.

Accounts of these horrifying creatures

have been passed on for generations.

While many will dismiss these as mere stories,

one such legend may have been proven all too real

by security footage in a California neighborhood.

In Fresno, California, a homeowner named Jose

set up a security camera

after hearing his dogs bark throughout the night,

but it wasn't an intruder or animal that had their attention.

It was something much more bizarre.

The unsettling footage he captured soon attracted

the attention of local paranormal expert

Victor Camacho.

My name is Victor Camacho.

Victor examined the footage seen here

filmed off of Jose's security monitor.

He watched silently as a small, strange creature

slowly moved across Jose's lawn.

A few minutes later into the footage,

he observed another creature enter the frame,

this one moving faster with a wider stride

of its two long legs.

I wasn't prepared for what I saw,

at first puppetlike but moving with a grace

and a fluidity that didn't seem possible

for someone to fake with a mannequin or an apparatus,

just walking, just walking across a path.

Is it a ghost? Is it a cryptid?

Is it an alien?

What is it?

The legs are quite long,

but the physical body itself seems quite small in comparison.

That's why you see this very strange stride that they have.

I don't know.

There's something about the way they move that just, like,

I don't like it.

After the video became public,

the creatures became known as the Fresno Nightcrawlers.

These newly named cryptids soon caught the eye

of followers of Native American folklore.

There are many legends of sticklike figures

that have vaguely human attributes to them,

and many people believe them to be guardians of landscape.

So according to some Native American lore,

these entities have really small heads and long legs,

and they've been around for a long time,

since perhaps before man was even,

you know, really what we are today,

so that looks to be possibly

what we're seeing in this footage.

There's been some sort of lore that they are good

and actually want to help humans sort of reconnect with nature,

and then there's also the ones that have,

you know, malevolent sort of intentions to hurt humans

and, you know, sort of cause harm.

While the creatures' intentions remain a mystery,

a clearer view of them may have been captured years later

by a security camera at Yosemite National Park.

Park officials set up the camera to catch a group of vandals

that had been damaging park property

but instead spotted these otherworldly beings.

This footage, it's only 60 miles away

from the original Fresno nightcrawler sighting.

It seems to depict the exact same creatures.

It seems to have no head,

doesn't seem to have a body.

It's just a pair of legs, and it's moving in a very slow,

methodical sort of way that was creepier than, almost,

if it was walking quicker.

I think the fact that these were captured

in two completely different geographical locations

lends credence to the fact that, all right, they are legit.

They are something.

I've actually had my own encounter

with what is considered to be a nightcrawler.

I saw this nightcrawlers standing, pacing back and forth

on a boulder in the middle of the Merced River in Yosemite.

It almost looked like a gray alien but without arms.

It was kind of crazy.

It blew my mind.

Victor Camacho has also remained

steady in his belief

that what he saw in Fresno was an authentic cryptid sighting.

They were unable to replicate the strange movements.

Coming up...scary encounters on the streets

and a new cryptid is born.

Americans spend, on average,

almost 300 hours a year driving,

and while we often fear ghosts

haunting our homes and buildings,

we seldom think about the apparitions

we might encounter out on the open road,

but now with so many cameras monitoring the streets we drive,

we are starting to learn there is much more to worry about

while behind the wheel than traffic and speeding tickets.

On a dark night in 2016, security cameras were monitoring

an empty intersection in Mexico City.

As a lone car approached,

the image of a young woman materialized in the crosswalk.

But while the camera saw her, the drivers did not.

This footage is crazy

because it's clearly right there.

You would think that all these drivers

would see this entity as they're driving through.

Either they're not paying attention,

or it's simply not visible.

Traffic cams probably pick up more ghost activity

than other cameras would because they're on constantly,

so the likelihood of them catching something is higher.

Imagine not knowing that you've passed on,

and you find yourself in the middle of the road,

and it just seems endless because your consciousness

as a ghost or a spirit is stuck in this warp.

This CCTV footage from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia,

starts similarly.

A lone car was driving when, suddenly,

a figure materialized out of nowhere.

The driver did see it but too late to avoid a collision.

The driver got out but could find no evidence

of the impact or the pedestrian.

They get out. They look around.

There's nobody, no person, no animal, nothing under the car.

Everything is vanished.

This is a very common experience,

and if someone can research it,

then they usually find out that there's a haunting story

for that area, that something happened,

an accident happened at that particular spot.

My best guess would be some kind of place-memory type

of haunting where it's not an intelligent haunting.

It's not an apparitional haunting.

It's not a consciousness that survived bodily death

and is aware of its surroundings.

There might be a lot of emotional energy

expended in this location, and you get a replay,

like a shadow of what has happened before.

But these encounters

aren't always passive apparitions

drifting into a car's path.

This taxi in Hong Kong encountered a much different,

and more dynamic, paranormal force.

Driver is driving along.

There's a car in front of them, but then all of a sudden...

...a flash of light comes from the driver's side off the road.

I don't even know whether that is a ghost or not,

but that is just something that is super freaky that happened.

I mean, I think that's more than a ghost.

That's, like, kind of like a... more than a demon.

I mean, something happened there.

I watched that video a lot

because I was just trying to catch it.

I was like, "What the heck was that?"

Like, I don't have a perfect explanation.

I don't know if I ever will.

So why are ghosts attracted to cars?

Perhaps it's something with the technology within the car,

such as the radio.

There's a lot of energy that the car has

that could prove to be a gateway or a bridge to the other side.

Could there be some reason that this force,

whatever it might be, was targeting the car?

Intent is very hard to determine in videos like this.

It's hard to assign a motive to the spirit,

if that's what it was.

Was it trying to harm the driver?

Was it trying to warn the driver?

Or could these paranormal manifestations

be as oblivious to the presence of us drivers

as we often are to them?

Just because a deer runs into the side of your car

doesn't mean the deer is angry at you necessarily.

Sometimes things just, you know, bump into each other.

You're going your way.

It's going its way, and the two meet.

Cryptozoology is the study

of monsters or creatures

whose existence has yet to be proven by scientific evidence.

Almost every country in every corner of the globe

has its own cryptid,

and stories of these fabled creatures

have been passed from one generation to the next

with few ever actually witnessing them firsthand,

but in the Philippines, after a farmer's pregnant goat

went into labor, a camera was there to capture

what may have been the birth of a new cryptid

and a new story for generations to come.

Cryptids have long tracks of folklore

attached to them, stories,

but they have never been actually studied scientifically.

There's no actual data that they exist.

There are creatures of this Earth

that have not been discovered yet.

There are others that are extinct

or we think are extinct that might not be.

In November of 2018,

a small community in southern Philippines

was shocked after a local farmer's goat

gave birth to a bizarre creature.

This baby animal is horrifying.

You can see the cloven hooves, and the snout is very goat-like,

but the flesh around it is so swollen,

it almost completely engulfs that snout.

Both the creature and its baby-goat sibling died

shortly after leaving the womb, and when laid side by side,

they looked like two completely different species.

What makes this interesting is its shiny skin.

It has no fur, has a humanlike navel.

This creature kind of had, like, pig's feet.

It had, like, a human face,

and it just looked like a big blob of skin or something.

This appeared to be a goat-pig-human hybrid.

It had very human features, yet its appendages

ended in pig or goatlike endings,

and I felt like some of the explanations

were that there was some kind of mutation

that caused this swelling.

Sadly, the mother goat also died after giving birth

to this grotesque offspring,

sparking fears among locals that the creature

was a cursed mutant devil that brought bad luck.

It's common in some of these villages

to view deformities like this to be a bad omen

or a sign of negative things to come in the future,

so these people probably think

that it's some sort of hell spawn, perhaps.

There are a variety of other theories

as to what else this creature could be.

This reminds me of a creature from Ilonggo folklore.

It's called a lolid or lulid,

and basically, it's kind of like a giant earthworm-looking thing.

It's white, kind of has, like, a pig head,

and they live in the ground in little, like, mounds of dirt,

and if you disturb their homes, they will make you sick.

Whether it was a cryptid

or just a physical abnormality,

we may have just witnessed

the beginning of a new, strange tale.

Filipinos are so superstitious.

We have so many different,

like, mythological creatures and cryptids,

so I wouldn't be surprised if the Philippines suddenly had

a new mythological creature based after this.

I feel like whatever this is,

the legend of this creature will expand and grow

and take on a life of its own, and now with the Internet,

pictures and alleged reported sightings of this thing,

even though you may never see it again,

I'm sure we're gonna hear about whatever this is called

down the line sometime.

Coming up...

Oh, God. Geez.

...England's most haunted house.

Aah!

30 East Drive in Pontefract, England,

may be picturesque on the outside,

but inside is home to one of Britain's

most violent hauntings ever.

It all began in 1966 when a family moved into the house

and were immediately terrorized

by a mysterious figure dressed in a black robe.

The evil spirit became known as the Black Monk of Pontefract,

and to this day,

something may still be lurking inside that house.

You heard that?

The haunting at 30 East Drive is decades old.

It began in the 1960s when an entity

began to terrorize the residents of the home.

The site that the house is located on

has an interesting history.

There are some records that indicate

that a monk from earlier times

had been convicted of raping someone and executed,

and usually, where violent events take place,

that often leaves a dark residue on the landscape.

It didn't take long for the Pritchard family,

who lived at the house, to take note of this residue.

They started noticing puddles of water in the kitchen.

They were hearing footsteps in the floors above the kitchen.

Doors open and close. Objects move around.

There are thuds and all kinds

of mysterious goings-on in the house.

And it sort of isolated itself around one of the daughters,

and she was experiencing what she believed

to be an entity in her room,

and she would hear heavy breathing,

and then she started seeing a black hooded figure

with long flowing robes,

and they actually gave it a name -- Fred.

And this entity known as Fred

was reported to kick, scratch

and even push her downstairs.

It's been decades since the Pritchard family

moved from 30 East Drive,

but several recent complaints from neighbors of activity

within the empty house

prompted paranormal investigator Sean Reynolds and Bex Palmer

to examine the residence in 2017.

We are paranormal investigators,

and we're investigating 30 East Drive

because people have been capturing strange things

on camera -- objects moving, black shadows

and real strong paranormal activity.

The team set up a special device to help determine

if what they were sensing could be the entity

once known as "Fred."

Yeah.

Now what you're gonna listen for

are voices that are just above

or just below the broadcast that you hear,

so you will hear little snippets of radio commercials,

DJs, songs.

That's not what we're listening for.

We're listening for the voices

that ride out across multiple frequencies.

Are we communicating to Fred?

Oh, my God. Geez.

"Of course." "Of course."

Fred?

You heard that?

What's going on? The door.

What door?

Fred?

Is that you that knocked them closed?

Bex? I thought it said "Bex."

Either said "yes" or "Bex."

When I initially heard my name,

I was filled with dread and fear,

and I wanted to get out of there,

and so already I was in a state of fight-or-flight, if you like.

What is this dark energy that said "Bex"?

Is it Fred the poltergeist wanting to attach himself

or come near to Bex because she's female,

and, you know, maybe he was reminded of Diane,

the Pritchards' daughter?

Was you trying to scare Bex?

Whoa.

What the hell happened there?

Why would it have done that?

That sounds a bit dark, doesn't it?

That was a bit demonic.

- Yes. - I heard that.

Yep.

Aah! Aah!

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

The woman lets out a yell, and that, you know,

if she was faking, she deserved an Oscar, you know?

That was a legit... She was scared.

Aah! Aah!

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

The door.

Did we get that?

Yeah, I think so.

Sean, he goes to the door, and he actually looks up,

and there was nothing there behind the door.

Could this have been Fred,

the Black Monk of Pontefract, returned?

The fact that this activity took place

at this infamous location

tells me that the chances are pretty good

that they actually did run into the entity

known as the Black Monk of Pontefract.

I never experienced anything like I did at 30 East Drive.

This was a black, dark, very dark experience,

and I did fear for my life when I was there.

We concluded that the recent activity of people

entering this house has stirred up the poltergeistal activity

back at 30 East Drive,

and if Fred was sleeping, he's not sleeping now.

Aah! Aah!

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Christ.

Coming up...

astonishing lights over the Atlantic.

Oh, they're back.

In 1903, on one of North Carolina's

Outer Banks coastal barrier islands,

the Wright brothers broke the shackles of gravity

and took the first steps toward air travel,

but Orville and Wilbur probably couldn't imagine the advances

in aviation made since that fateful first flight.

Now just over a century later in November of 2018,

another visitor to the Outer Banks captured video evidence

that humans may have some otherworldly competition

when it comes to conquering the skies on Earth.

While on a family fishing trip on the southern Outer Banks,

Chris Larkin saw something that puzzles him still to this day.

Okay.

I'm Chris, and I filmed the UFOs off of Cape Lookout.

I wanted to get some fishing in after dark,

see if I could, you know, pull anything in.

I went out to the beach, had a couple of lines in

and was just kind of sitting and waiting,

and at that point,

the lights just kind of appeared in the sky.

The UFOs were just very bright orange lights.

They were just completely stationary,

and they were very silent.

There was no noise whatsoever.

Off in the distance towards the Cape,

who knows exactly how high,

but there are two lights pulsating, pulsating.

Is it a UFO?

What am I looking at?

As Chris watched the lights,

the mystery grew even deeper.

Not sure what's going on with the little ones.

There's two lights in the distance.

They're stable.

They're not moving, and then eventually two more appear.

I think I was out there about an hour total,

and over that time, you know, sometimes there was one light.

Sometimes there were two.

Sometimes there were up to four, and there was a period of time

where they were gone for about 15 or 20 minutes,

and then when they reappeared,

it was in a different location a little bit closer to shore.

Now, this is very common when you see UFO videos

in that it will start with a certain number.

That number will branch off into others,

and I don't know of anything here

in our technology that does that,

so that's when it starts to get very curious

and possibly unexplained.

So I initially thought helicopters because, you know,

they were lights, which makes sense, and they weren't moving.

They were definitely hovering,

but then as I watched further, you know,

I realized that there was no noise coming from them at all.

They were completely silent, and I had seen helicopters

out there during the daytime, you know,

in that relative position, and there was plenty of noise.

You could definitely hear them above the surf.

Chris also ruled out flares,

another common source of light off the coast.

Yeah, I'm not a flare expert, but I've seen them before,

and, you know, they go up, and they come down.

You know, there's some movement.

Usually if they're fired from the ocean,

you see them go up into the sky.

If they're dropped from a plane, you're gonna see them drop,

and this didn't happen, you know?

They were just completely stationary.

Oh, two are back, not sure what's going on

with the little ones, but they're gone.

Eventually, the original two disappear,

and we're left with those last two.

We're left wondering, "What could be causing that?"

We don't really know what we're looking at here.

We don't know if these are UFOs or something else.

They are mystery lights.

Phenomenon of mystery lights, or ghost lights,

as they're also called, exists around the world,

and these are locations where people see light anomalies

over and over again in certain geographic areas.

The entire Eastern seaboard

is actually a hotbed for UFO activity,

from Florida all the way north to New England,

so the fact that these were sighted

off the coast of North Carolina is no surprise to me.

Whether it's a UFO or something unexplained,

at least Chris didn't go home completely empty-handed.

I've never seen anything like this before,

and I haven't seen anything like this since.

I mean, it's just kind of a cool experience.

I just kind of felt like I was

in the right time at the right place

and, you know, got to see something interesting

that you definitely don't see every day.

Okay.

If you witness something paranormal,
