Next on "Paranormal Caught On Camera,"

a kitchen apparition spooks a San Diego family...

All I'm going to say about this is, "Ah! Horrifying!"

...strange lights seen high up in the California sky...

They're flickering, moving around for over an hour.

It was weird.

...a mythic creature spotted in Wales...

That's a unicorn right there.

It looks exactly like you would expect a unicorn to look.

...a haunted basket mystifies in Florida...

Okay, here we go.

We are about to open this basket.

As I was opening that thing, my heart was racing

because I didn't know what was going to be inside of it.

...a spirit makes its presence known

in a British schoolhouse...

That's the door.

...and even more paranormal footage

you have to see to believe.

Oh!

Antiques stores are known to carry many items

that are appreciated for their special value

due to their age or handicraft.

But an older wicker basket found in Texas,

which was said to be haunted,

seemed to be getting attention for something more sinister.

The basket, which had been sealed with wax,

had been bought and returned twice,

with each owner saying they experienced misfortune

while in possession of it.

So when paranormal enthusiasts Patty Adams and her daughter,

Heather, got their hands on it,

they were intrigued by the reports

and curious about what might be inside.

Ah! Oh, my --PATTY: Whoa. What the --

In August 2018, the basket was given to Patty by a friend

who had come across it in an antique shop

while on vacation in Texas.

The shop's owner had told the friend

about the basket's disturbing history,

and when the friend brought it back for Patty,

she relayed the information.

The basket's first owner ended up in the hospital,

and its second owner

started having scary problems with their car.

Unsure what could be causing all these issues,

Patty decided to conduct an investigation on her back porch

in Spring Hill, Florida.

We would like to communicate

with whoever is attached to this box.

My name is Patty.

I was a little bit nervous with the basket at first

because, you know, the unknown and the stories

that she told me about it.

There's wax melted all over the top of this basket,

and what else is really strange is that this basket

also has matchbooks, old matchbooks.

It's a black rattan-type basket,

and the people at the antique shop

said that they had never opened it

and that it was told to them it was a haunted basket.

It was a strange-looking basket,

had all these things stuck to it.

It was sealed in wax.

Maybe somebody didn't want it opened.

You nervous, Heather?

Yeah, a little bit.

Patty and Heather arm themselves with items

known to hold protective properties.

I have a huge selenite right here.

I have a bowl of every protective crystal

you can imagine.

First, they used a spirit box,

a device used to make contact with the dead

through radio frequencies

to try to communicate with it.

Do you mind if we open this box?

I mean basket. I'm sorry.

It's good to ask permission because the spirits will respect

you more when you ask permission for certain things like that.

You know, "Is it okay if I go ahead and open this?"

It's just something I do, and I just feel like

it's the right thing to do.

Okay. Well, we're going to open this basket.

I hope you don't mind.

The fact that they were asking and showing some respect

is always a good thing,

and this team is clearly experienced

in how to run an investigation the proper way.

How many spirits are with us right now?

- Three? - Three?

Where did this box come from?

Can you tell us?

She was getting some really great hits

on that modified radio when she was asking questions.

All right. So are you about ready to open this basket?

What do you think?

You can open it.

Whoa. That tree just moved behind you again.

Yeah. Oh. What?

It's a frog because he bounced from the leaf to the --

See him?

But I did see -- Oh, my --

Whoa. What the -- Oh, hell no.

That wasn't no damn frog.

The entire tree seemed to have fallen

right on top of her unexpectedly.

To me, a tree that size would be difficult

for a single frog to knock the tree over.

Oh, gosh, that scared us to death.

My daughter jumped up and ran.

That was not -- She was like, "this."

She just went in the house.

That is no frog that just did that.

There was a frog on that tree.

She had just seen a frog, but I just don't see

how a little frog would make that tree --

It's pretty heavy.

Oh, my -- Whoa. What the --

The base of it is really heavy,

so I don't see how that tree would have fell like that.

It's okay. We're protected out here.

It's definitely a sign that something is about to happen.

You know, if it wasn't a hurricane coming in,

then it was definitely some kind of poltergeist activity

starting to happen.

A few minutes later,

Heather had the courage to return to the basket.

They regained their composure and pressed on

with the investigation.

Okay. Here we go.

We are about to open this basket.

She's got the knife.

My thought was, "Ooh, this is sealed for a reason.

Why are you opening it?

This is potentially dangerous. This may have consequences."

I just broke the seal on the wax.

I'm surprised they had the courage to continue going

and talking with

whatever they felt like they were interacting with,

something that obviously has a connection

to this wicker basket.

- Oh. - Oh.

Oh, okay.

Oh, my goodness.

Oh, my God.

As I was opening that thing, my heart was racing

because I didn't know what was going to be inside of it.

I'm thinking, "Oh, my gosh. What if it's a body part?"

You know, it could be anything.

The strange activity began

as soon as the basket was opened.

Keep an eye on the stuffed toy

as it moves exactly when Patty lifts the lid.

Patty and Heather didn't notice this until later

when viewing the tape.

All right. So I've got this open.

Let's see what's in this basket.

Okay.

I was surprised, but I was also very interested

at that point to see each item and trying to examine each item

and try to figure out, you know, what this all means.

What's this? Ooh.

Ooh, that's creepy-looking.

Yeah, that's creepy-looking.

All those objects, maybe they were things

that brought somebody joy at some point,

so maybe it was put in there

to appease the evilness about the basket.

As they examined the objects,

Patty and Heather noticed unusual sounds and movements

happening around them.

Ooh.

Whoa, what?

What?

What the just happened?

What?

Are you serious right now?

That thing just fall over?

Okay. Stuff is moving behind me.

Who is here moving stuff?

Who is this?

Who is here?

I just heard Gary.

The story of the basket seems to be legit.

The original seller sold it twice only to have it returned

due to strange activity, and when they opened it,

they seemed to experience the same activity

that was described before.

So to me, there may be something going on here.

Oh, my -- Whoa.

I would absolutely not have messed with that basket at all.

I keep hearing stuff behind me.

I'm afraid to go look behind me.

There was something going on behind us, too.

Something was moving around back there.

We're starting to hear noises out here.

You have to move on, okay?

We are? We are.

If I was in that room with them,

I probably would have closed the box or done something

to make sure that whatever was released

wasn't just floating around in our house.

I keep hearing stuff behind me.

I'm afraid to go look behind me.

Do you hear that?Yeah.

After all that stuff happened when we opened

that basket that night in that video,

I said, "I'm not taking this thing back in my house.

There's no way."

And we're going to put everything back.

I keep hearing stuff.

It's in my shed. It's in a box.

I've got holy water all around it.

It is creepy.

I can see -- Oh, my --Whoa. What the --

Oh, hell no.

That wasn't no damn frog.

That was no damn frog.

Oh, my goodness.

What the hell?

This next video was submitted

to "Paranormal Caught On Camera"

from the most credible source possible --

a former member of the Marine Corps Force Reconnaissance.

Also known as FORECON,

it is a unit dedicated to analytical observation

and gathering of intelligence.

Their job is to track and observe daily interactions

in the world around them.

You would think they've seen everything,

but when one Force Recon Marine spotted something

so completely out of the ordinary,

he just had to take a closer look.

In 2015, FORECON Marines Kevin and his friend

who were stationed at Base Camp Pendleton

were driving to dinner in Encinitas, California,

when Kevin saw bright lights high up in the sky.

Kevin agreed to appear in an interview

to describe exactly what he saw.

My name is Kevin Loud.

As we were going down the freeway,

I see these multiple orbs of light

that were kind of floating in the sky.

After a 30-minute drive,

they arrived at the restaurant,

and much to Kevin's surprise,

the lights were still visible.

...doing reconnaissance and surveillance,

trying to establish patterns of life,

and so you'd be observing something for days on end.

I've never seen anything like that.

They're flickering, moving around for over an hour.

It was weird.

Is it drones?

The fact that they do rearrange themselves

into different patterns kind of lends to the credibility

that it may be a UFO.

I think it would be very difficult

to orchestrate drones to fly that way.

They're very close together.

You would have to have three drone operators,

and they would have to be masters of maneuvering

to keep these things from crashing

into each other in midair.

My best friend from the military is a Force Recon sniper,

and he's very technical.

It's not aliens.

Probably something very scientific behind this.

Is it drones?

To me, there was just no way they were drones.

Like, I've seen most military drones before,

and they just did not seem like that.

These seem brighter than your average drones would be.

The lights seem to be a lot stronger than one would think.

I kind of feel like they're not.

My gut says no.

Drones have a pretty decent fly time,

but when you have something that's putting off

that amount of light,

it has to have a pretty large power source,

and I just don't think that it really would be sustainable

for over an hour.

We had these happen in Arizona.

They're called the Phoenix Lights.

One dude being skeptical, it's like,

"Could be a drone,"

but the other guy was also just bringing up another idea.

That's a perfect conversation that I like to

hear people having because those are the conversations

that are going to need to occur more and more

and more just to have people open their eyes

a little bit to the possibility of extraterrestrial life.

They're called the Phoenix Lights.

They're called what?

Phoenix Lights.

They've actually happened all over the world.

I grew up in Phoenix, so I knew what the Phoenix Lights were.

Back in 1997 in Phoenix, Arizona,

several hundred people actually witnessed

a wedge-shaped UFO travel across the city,

and the shape actually had a series of lights on it

not too unsimilar to what we see in this video.

Encinitas, where this footage is filmed,

is parallel with Phoenix, and, of course,

as we heard the man mention the Phoenix Lights,

it's possible these are the same lights

that people saw over Phoenix.

Kevin and his friend eventually went inside to eat,

but when they came back out over an hour later,

they were shocked the lights were still noticeable.

And grabbed dinner, grabbed drinks.

The lights were still there, and as we were driving back,

they disappeared.

Regardless of his friend's skepticism,

Kevin truly believes he witnessed

something supernatural that night.

We just established that almost every star

that we see in our night sky is actually a solar system,

so the statistical odds that we are alone in the universe

are slim compared to having extraterrestrial life out there.

Coming up, a kitchen pantry that contains more...

Oh, my God....than just food.

Do you ever get the sense you're not alone,

like someone or something is watching you?

Even if you're alone in your own home,

perhaps it is best to take a look around.

It's possible that you could have uninvited company.

In 2007, a San Diego family man named John

certainly felt that way

as he became particularly aware of subtle,

odd things happening in his home.

Repeatedly, he woke up to find that the pantry door

in his kitchen had opened during the night.

Intrigued by the incident,

he set up a camera to record in the kitchen overnight

in search of an explanation,

but little did he know his journey

down the paranormal rabbit hole was just beginning.

Upon playback of his recording,

John noticed nothing out of the ordinary

until about half past midnight

when the pantry door suddenly swung open.

Curious about the invisible force,

he continued to film the door every night,

and each time, the unexplainable event recurred like clockwork.

The pantry door unlatched at exactly 12:34 AM.

The time 12:34

translates as one, two, three, four.

If seen over and over, has specific messages

to people who believe in esoteric philosophies.

So you would have to go into numerology and be like,

"What does one, two, three, four mean in esoteric senses,

and who is this girl?"

The fact that this ghost could appear at the same time

every night could suggest that it's a residual haunting.

Sometimes it has to do with the time of death

that a person died or something tragic

could have happened at that moment.

The strange event continued for months

until one night in September,

John decided to stay up and watch the door himself.

And that night, he captured what appeared to be the cause.

All I'm going to say about this is, "Ah! Horrifying!"

I do not like this one bit.

This ghost is super fricking real.

Did you catch that?

Look again closely.

I have captured full-bodied apparitions.

I have seen full-bodied apparitions.

It's something that in the paranormal field

is kind of, like, the pot of gold.

That's what you want to encounter.

John continued to film the pantry nightly

but no longer wanted to use it to store his family's food.

It's terrifying to know that that small of a space

could contain some sort of entity within.

Windows and doorways tend to be thought of as spirit portals,

so basically an easy passageway for spirits

to travel between their world and our world,

and so that could very well be a spirit portal in his house.

John posted the astonishing footage online

hoping someone might have an explanation,

but the millions of viewers were just as perplexed as he was,

and one of them, another California resident,

made arrangements with John to join him

so he could see for himself.

And on November 21st, the two investigated together.

John stayed behind the camera.

It's day 10, 12:03 AM.

Still nothing happening.

But just minutes later...

Oh, yeah.

They couldn't believe what they were seeing,

and John encouraged him to make contact.

If you do happen to come across an apparition

and it seems to be intelligent,

and there's some kind of communication,

I would recommend any kind of contact.

There's a theory that when an apparition appears

or manifests,

it uses all kinds of energy, and what's energy?

Energy is heat.

So it's glomming this energy out of the environment,

and it's going to leave a cold spot.

Usually, you can feel a drop in temperature

whenever there's some kind of spirit around the room.

It's difficult to determine

exactly what it's trying to communicate,

but it puts its hands up to the glass.

It puts its face up to the glass.

I don't know why it would do that other than to be noticed.

I imagine it would be very frustrating

if you couldn't be seen.

She looks like a little girl,

so maybe she's just looking for a little attention.

Maybe she's a little lonely or a little lost.

Then John urged him to walk directly into the pantry.

This guy was pretty brave to open that door up

and try to see what it actually is.

I think I probably would have cracked open

my finest bottle of whiskey at that time

and just went down to the cellar

and tried to forget that ever happened.

Despite their efforts, they weren't able to get

much of a response from the entity,

but one thing is for certain.

That's crazy.

The man went home a believer.

As for John and his family,

they were thoroughly spooked by the events

and moved shortly after.

Coming up, a terrifying hunt for the dangerous Slender Man.

- Oh - Go, go, go.

Urban legends used to be passed down by word of mouth,

but with the advent of the Internet,

they are able to spread faster than ever before.

This can be seen in the recent phenomenon of the Slender Man.

Stories first appeared on the the dark web in 2009

and described Slender Man as an abnormally tall,

thin, faceless man wearing a suit.

The Slender Man is considered to be very dangerous

to anyone he comes into contact with, especially children.

The new bogeyman went viral,

and worldwide Slender Man sightings

have increased over the last decade,

which would lead a brave team of paranormal investigators

on a nightmarish hunt for an up-close encounter.

Oh

Kids and adults alike all over the world were into,

"What is Slender Man? What is this new cryptid?

Who is this new crazy character?"

and that's what gives Slender Man the power.

Much like Freddy Krueger,

the more the people think about him,

the more real he becomes in the minds of people.

There is a phenomenon known as tulpa,

which if enough people believe in an entity,

believe in an idea,

they can manifest it and make it real.

So if enough people are out there thinking

about the Slender Man

and thinking about it hard enough and want it bad enough,

they potentially could manifest this thing

and make it a real creature.

So if the power of thought alone

can actually will a paranormal entity into existence,

the question must be asked --

How much thinking has there been about the Slender Man?

There's like 111 million views on the Slender Man.

So just imagine fearing this entity,

the type of energy, negative mental energy.

It snowballs and snowballs and snowballs,

and to be honest, makes this bogeyman very real.

Moe Sargi and his friend Renny

were the latest people to go out

in search of evidence of Slender Man's existence.

People say this forest is haunted,

and it could be because of Slender Man.

If it's in our minds, if it's in our psyche, then is it real?

If we create our reality,

who's to say that Slender Man doesn't exist?

Stories often describe Slender Man

lurking in more remote wooded areas,

so the two friends set out into the Canadian forest

in March 2019,

to see if they could catch a glimpse of the fearsome legend.

People claim they see a Slender Man figure

right through that dark-ass, creepy-looking path.

Have been a lot of sightings

by people that come through here.

I would not tell anybody

to put their lives in jeopardy

looking for something that may or may not exist.

I'd have more fun actually looking for Bigfoot

than I would for a Slender Man.

The heck is that thing?

Pretty sure that's just a garbage bag that somebody threw.

Take it down, okay?Okay.

Here, here. I'll go get it.

Positioned high up in the tree,

the mysterious bag proved too tempting not to investigate.

Why the hell would someone throw garbage up there, man?

Well, I can't see because it's too dark.

Hold up. Let me get my flashlight.

If I saw this doll in the bag in the woods, I would say,

"Either somebody is really playing a sick joke,

or there's somebody out here watching me that --

I don't think I want to be here."

Man, that's gross.

That's just wrong, man.

Afraid and unsure of who or what

could have left the doll there,

Moe and Renny were about to call it quits, but then...

- Oh Run! Run! Run! - Go, go, go.

It doesn't look like it's CGI-ed in.

It looks like it's standing in the field and walking.

- Oh, Run! Run! - Go!

What the was it?

Moe and Renny didn't stick around to find out

whether the entity they captured was the Slender Man or not...

What was that thing?

...and seemed thankful they were still alive

to share their experience.

I would not recommend other people go out

looking for Slender Man like this, no.

Oh

- Run, run! - Go, go, go.

Coming up, was this UFO

spying on a top missile base?

The residents of Bakersfield, California,

are no strangers to witnessing missiles

launch from nearby Vandenberg Air Force Base.

They know all the telltale signs

and are used to seeing spectacular light displays

and vapor streams streaked across the sky.

But back in September 2001,

a young boy named Donald Derouin spotted

something shocking that couldn't be easily explained.

Donald, who was 10 years old at the time,

was testing out his new video camera

in his grandparents' backyard

when he saw an incredibly bright light

that caught his attention.

He tried to zoom in to see if he could get a better look.

My name is Donald Derouin,

and I was just playing around with a video camera

like a normal 10-year-old kid would do

and just messing with the zoom,

and I could see this dot in the sky.

I had no idea what it was.

I thought it was, like, an airplane at first,

and then I'd zoom in, and it was a triangle,

and it kind of took me off guard for a second.

We're about 100 miles from the base,

and this is when they were doing a lot of testing and stuff.

Like, you can see the SpaceX rockets

when they shoot them now,

but nothing during the middle of the day kind of like that.

It wasn't moving like anything I've ever seen before,

and it was unusually bright, so definitely out of the ordinary.

One of the fascinating things about this clip

is the three-dimensional appearance of the object.

It's like a pyramid shape as if you just picked up

one of the Great Pyramids of Giza

and hung it suspended in the air.

This video was shot in 2001, so to me, that eliminates drones

and in-camera visual effects and all that sort of thing.

So what we're looking at is most likely something

that's actually floating there in the sky.

When I zoom out is when it starts to move,

and I couldn't really catch it again,

and that's when it really started to scare me.

It moved slowly at first, then very fast and disappeared.

What made this even more curious

was later that night,

a missile was launched from the base,

and the familiar sight of lights and air streams

were seen in the sky,

which Donald also recorded, causing him to ask the question,

"Could these two incidents be related?"

I would say they probably had something to do with each other.

If they were checking this out to see what we were launching

into space could be a logical explanation.

We've seen these pyramids hovering over the Pentagon, too,

so it's like what is the connection there?

You know, you have these military installations,

and then you have these pyramids floating directly over them.

What are they doing? Are they observing?

Are they spying?

If UFOlogists believed that all of

the aircrafts we have now

are from things we've discovered from alien crafts,

maybe they're just keeping an eye

on the information they gave us.

Whatever it was,

it certainly had a profound effect on Donald

and molded how he viewed the world as he grew up.

When you're finding out things like Santa Claus

and the Easter Bunny is not real,

then there's stuff like that happening,

and you can't explain it,

it really strains the 10-year-old's mind

on what's possible and what's out there.

Seeing something like that in the sky

I would hope would shape his life.

You know, you have to have these experiences

to kind of make you question everything.

Coming up, ghostly game play

in a haunted garage, and...

There's a horse with a horn.

...a unicorn sighting in Wales.

The latest home security cameras

now allow monitoring on our smartphones

so we can constantly keep an eye out for intruders in real time.

However, what happens when cameras capture a home intrusion

by entities not of this world but the paranormal?

In 2018, Dawn Booth and her husband

were away from their Long Island, New York, home

when their phones dinged

with a troubling message from their security system.

The cameras in their detached garage-turned-game-room

had detected some suspicious noises,

and they were afraid they were being burglarized.

They quickly opened the app to view the footage,

but the video seemed to have one very important thing missing --

any sign of a living person.

I mean, the most logical thing to think first is,

"Oh, my God. Someone broke into my house,"

but then when you look closer, and you realize,

"Oh, there's no actual people in there,"

I would definitely freak out.

However, the Booths did notice

a wispy, translucent shape floating in front of a chair.

It's not your standard, "Oh, there's an orb

or a piece of dust floating around."

It's got a form.

I've never seen anything like that.

A lot of people could speculate that could be ectoplasm

or something along those lines.

Whatever it is, it seems to be undulating

and pulsating and moving across the room

almost in a fashion that denotes intelligence

because it seems curious. Like, it's testing out.

It's feeling out its new environment.

Next, they heard the familiar clank

of two pool balls banging together.

It takes force to cause one ball to move

and then to clink with such force into the second ball.

Is it coming from whatever this amorphous shape is?

It's possible.

When you see the pool ball move, it's sort of wedged,

and it's a tight shot even with a stick to make that shot.

It's very difficult to manipulate.

It does move with quite a bit of force.

It's not just rolling because the table

is unlevel or something.

And then the pinball machine is suddenly turned on

as though someone was playing it.

Usually when there's paranormal activity,

it can mess with electronics,

so it makes sense that the pinball machine

started spazzing.

Perhaps they want to play with these items.

You know, if they were a living person at one point,

perhaps they loved to play,

and they finally got that thing to turn on,

and we just happened to catch it.

For my paranormal investigator checklist,

you've got the pool balls,

you've got the pinball machine going on,

and you've got this kind of strange anomaly

happening all at the same time.

So a great piece of footage, and, you know, I'd be interested

to learn a little bit more about what's going on there.

Dawn and her husband were too frightened

by what they saw and no longer use their game room,

but their cameras are ready

to pick up any more ghostly activity.

My advice to these owners

after watching this video is don't panic.

Don't jump to conclusions just yet.

There's nothing malevolent to be gleaned

from what we're seeing here.

Definitely don't worry about getting dragged

into some level of hell or anything like that.

The earliest description of a unicorn dates back to 400 BC

when it was described in Greek literature as a white horse

with a long horn on its forehead.

Since then, the myth of the unicorn

has spread around the world with countries in Europe,

Asia, and the Americas all having stories

depicting the enchanted beast.

Many believe the legend is just that -- a legend,

but when a majestic white horse with a long horn on its forehead

was seen grazing afield in Wales,

it raised the question --

Could these creatures actually exist?

In September, 2013, James Button and his friend Chris

had just settled into their office to begin work.

Hi. I'm James Button.

I was sitting at my desk,

and I was about to do some work and got bored,

and, like, I was just staring out the window, daydreaming,

just imagining things, and being in Wales,

there's a lot of sheep, so I expected

just to see some more sheep.

But on one particular day,

the animal that James saw out the window

sent him scrambling to get his video camera.

At first, I wasn't quite sure if it was a unicorn.

It did take a couple of seconds to kind of register what it was.

It did stand out that that unicorn was --

Well, it was white and horned.

If it were a brown horse, you wouldn't care, but no.

It's a pure-white horse with this pure-white horn.

It looks exactly like you would expect a unicorn to look.

It seems pretty convincing,

and the reaction of the video owner is pretty genuine.

I think I would have tried to get up close to it

because unicorns are known to be friendly.

I think that's one of the very few cryptids

I would actually try and get closer to.

Once I knew that we had something, I said,

"Come on. Let's go and let's get a closer look."

So me and Chris moved as quick as possible to the elevator,

and then went down couple floors,

and by the time we got outside,

he had gone.

When it comes to the legend of the unicorn,

there is a lot that comes behind it,

that the unicorn has magical properties,

that its horn can cure, that its horn can summon,

that its horn can do so many things,

and that's why it was sought after.

This is where you'd expect unicorns to exist --

England and Europe, these enchanted forests.

James did post the video online

where it racked up thousands of views

with many very excited by the potential proof of unicorns.

It was something special.

It needed to be captured,

so it was definitely important to film it.

I needed to get that evidence that obviously --

While this video isn't definitive proof

that unicorns exist, it does raise questions,

and where there are questions, there has to be follow-up.

Maybe someone will want to follow up on this video and go,

"You know what? Let's see if we can track down this unicorn."

You do see animals in nature that do have horns

like the narwhal, the unicorn of the sea.

You know, that's something that we can go

and we can point to and go, "Yes, reality."

So why is it so far-fetched for there to have been a unicorn?

James hasn't seen the unicorn since,

but he still looks out his window every day

hoping to catch another glimpse of the elusive animal.

I'm just glad I looked out the window at that moment in time.

We all know that unicorns don't exist, or do they?

The legend had to have come from somewhere.

Coming up...

...a case of school spirit

rattles a paranormal investigator.

Manor Farm in Southampton, England,

has been around for over 600 years.

Originally used as a working farm

which included housing for the farmers

and a schoolroom for their children,

it is now primarily a petting zoo and museum

showcasing what rural life was like.

Over the years, the staff who maintain the property

say they'd witnessed some poltergeist activity

and have spotted the spirits of children

who attended the school.

After hearing these reports, two brave souls decided

to investigate the old schoolhouse themselves

and got a lesson in the supernatural.

On February 10, 2019, Tony Ferguson and his wife

gained access to the potentially haunted schoolroom

so they could see for themselves

if the rumors of ghostly activity were true.

My name is Tony Ferguson.

I went in there and was just amazed

from the moment I got in there.

Straightaway, as soon as you walk into the house

and the school, it just felt like you're being watched.

This being an older school,

I'm sure that they had generations of children

sitting at these desks over the years,

so you've got a lot of energy to draw off of.

I hated school.

I'm sure that I left some nasty pieces of energy

at my middle school.

In an attempt to grab the attention

of any potential student entities,

Tony tried using a common schoolroom command.

...so I thought I'd try and reenact being a teacher,

and, you know, was talking to schoolchildren,

and you just felt, like,

a static thing going around your body.

It was almost like the room just came alive.

That's the best way to describe it.

These investigators are asking questions

that would pertain to people in school,

so they're kind of putting themselves in the environment

and trying to stir up activity

by being part of whatever is there,

which is kind of the best way to go about getting activity.

Tony didn't seem to be having much luck, but then...

That's the door.

I actually point out behind me.

I heard a noise upstairs, and I usually get a ringing in my ear.

There's the door.

He is asking for any spirits in the room

to make themselves known,

and then we see the posters on the wall sort of flutter,

and then the door just closes on its own.

I probably would have freaked out if that happened to me.

There's the door.

You just see me freeze because I was almost like,

"Okay, I wasn't expecting that."

You know, like, you don't.

For me, it was very loud.

It was right in my ear.

The takeaway from this video is that he was very calm.

He didn't overreact. He didn't jump.

He wasn't scared when something happened

because in an investigation,

that's what you're there to experience.

If he says, "Hey, can you make something move?

Can you close this door?"

and the door closes, there shouldn't be a surprise.

That's what you asked for, and it was being delivered.

And the door slams really with a lot of force.

If it were a draft of some kind,

it would have to be a wind-tunnel-quality draft

because it doesn't just move slowly.

It slams.

And we tried to debunk it

whether it could be wind or -- There was nothing there.

We were in that room for a large amount of time,

and with the actual force it went,

I was stood there in shock.

It happened after he asked the spirits to give him a sign.

Any children here?

Can you make a massive banging noise, please?

I think that the spirits in this room

were just answering his question.

When I'm on an investigation, I'll always say, you know,

"Hey, if you don't want us here,

give us a sign or touch me or open a door,"

and if something does happen after that,

of course we will leave, but to me in this clip,

I don't think the door is indicative of,

"Hey, I want you to stay," or "I want you to leave."

I think it's an easy way for them

to bring attention that they're there.

Tony was not disappointed

by what he found at the farm,

but he hopes to make further contact

with the spirits he encountered.

I'd love to go back because for me,

it's almost like you build a story.

You build a connection with these locations

the more you go back,

the more you interact with the spirit,

and I think if I went back, I'd probably get more evidence.

What should you do

in the event you witness something paranormal?

Here are some tips to get it all on camera.

Keep your eyes and your camera on the skies.

Go to where the spirits are.

Never stop recording...Oh, my God.

...even when you're scared.
