Next on "Paranormal Caught On Camera"...

a skunk ape is spotted in the Everglades.

That was like seeing a ghost.

I really couldn't believe what I was seeing when I saw it.

A murder victim speaks out from beyond.

Is there something left you want to say?

Dude! Did you see that?

There was nothing in there that I saw

that could have caused that bear to just fall over for no reason.

A UFO in Vegas...

This is a major UFO event.

...streaks across the evening sky.

That's 1,000 miles an hour.

That's way faster than anything should be going over this city.

A shapeshifter is hungry and on the hunt.

This clip is chilling --

or, in paranormal terms, it's creepy AF.

And even more paranormal footage you have to see...

Whoa! Something just flew.

...to believe.

It's believed that a haunting is more likely to occur

when a person's life is cut short...

...or ends unexpectedly...

...because they leave more energy behind --

sometimes negativeenergy.

Which is what seems to have happened in Tennessee...

Can you move that curtain again?

...after a man was brutally murdered in his own home.

Can you make that noise by the chair again?

Dude!

I swear, I think the curtain just moved.

In the spring of 2018,

a man from Knoxville, Tennessee,

is murdered by one of his roommates over money.

The killer is arrested and convicted.

Immediately afterwards, the remaining roommates

report feeling a presence in the house...

...which is so troubling,

they start packing up their stuff to move out.

While this was happening,

a team of paranormal investigators --

Jon Turner, Michael Richardson, and Tim Cunningham --

went to the scene of the crime,

hoping to get some closure for the victim and his family.

Upon entering the home, they quickly realized

that it still contains traces of the horrible event

that happened just a short time ago.

I'm standing here virtually where this man passed away,

and I'm just feeling this heavy feeling right now.

My name is Jon, and this is my video.

When we first walked into the house,

it made your hair stand up.

What I understand is, he fell to the floor.

This is where he, like, put his arm.

It gave me the goosebumps,

'cause knowing what happened there

and you could see the struggle that went on there...

It's very, very sad, guys.

It was definitely unnerving, to say the least.

I say we turn the lights out. What do you guys think?

Yeah. Sounds good.

Boost your night vision.Yep.

After taking a brief tour of the house...

They just gave up.

They just even left their stuff they packed here.

...the investigators try to establish communication.

Is there anyone in the room here with us?

And almost immediately,

something seems to make its presence known.

Did your camera just shut off?

By itself?By itself.

That was so weird.

You hear about it a lot, where electronic devices

will falter or even shut off during an investigation.

Now, many people believe that an entity is simply trying

to pull energy from that device, from the battery itself,

to show itself, to communicate in some way.

Perhaps that's what's happening here.

Is there something left you want to say

or something you need to do?

Maybe the poor, unfortunate soul that was murdered

is pulling energy from any source he can,

trying to get some sort of message out.

I got this meter here. We're going to try.

Thinking a spirit might be behind

the camera malfunctioning, they power up an EMF meter,

a device commonly used to detect the presence of an entity.

We got some hits around in here earlier.

Oh. There it goes.

When it's spiking, you can see that there is some sort

of manifestation of energy about to happen,

and EMF spikes happen

just before you get some sort of reaction.

It's, like, right in here.

That's the entity trying to gather enough energy

to manifest in one shape, way, or form.

His bedroom is back that way.

Oh, there it goes again.

And sure enough, not long after they get a strong reading...

Yeah, it just quit again.

Oh, dude!Dude!

Did you see that?I saw that.

Freakin' bear just fell off.No, the curtain.

But it what?

Right after the bear fell, there --

something moved past into the curtain.

Watch again

as the bear inexplicably falls off the chair...

...seconds before the curtain behind it swings open.

There was nothing in there that I saw

that could have caused that bear to just fall over for no reason.

Oh, dude! I just saw that!

Definitely something caused it,

but it wasn't wind or anything natural that I can explain.

Could it have been that large bear that fell

displaced some air, moved that curtain?

Certainly that could have happened.

But we have to sit back and think,

"How did that bear move in the first place?"

You can account for all the investigators

within that shot.

They're all standing next to each other,

so you know no one's in the room,

you know, causing movement to make that bear drop.

It didn't seem to be in any position

that gravity might have taken over at some point.

It seemed to be firmly rested.

And then it falls.

Was something in there that yanked that bear down?

That bear -- it, like, something knocked it off

and continued this way.

And you said his bedroom was back here.

There is something here.

I understand why they didn't want to come back here.

Now certain they've established contact,

the investigators try to help the spirit

get any messages across.

Were you trying to tell us something just then?

Okay, if there's something you'd like to say to your loved ones,

say it now so they can hear it.

If there's a message you want to get across,

say it into our cameras.

Let us know so we can deliver the message to your loved ones.

Can you move that curtain again?

Can you make that noise by the chair again?

Dude!

I swear, I think the curtain just moved again.

Did you get it?

I was looking in that room right there, man.

I just caught it out of the corner of my eye.

The first time I saw this clip, I thought, you know,

the curtain probably moved because of the gush of wind

that happened after the large bear fell.

But then somebody else captured on video

the curtain moving again.

Dude!

So, that definitely made me pause

because, you know, if it wasn't the bear moving

that caused that curtain to move,

it must have been something else.

Yeah.

I definitely felt an increase in heart rate

and very nervous at that point,

'cause I didn't know what we were dealing with.

I can't stand with this curtain in my back.

It's moved twice.

You know, I knew the gentleman was just murdered there,

but it was a very tragic situation.

So, you know, is this his spirit?

Is this the spirit of something more sinister

that maybe caused the person to do this crime?

Jon, Tim, and Michael are convinced

there's a negative energy lingering in the home.

If you would like for us to leave,

make a sound or give us a sign

and let us know if you want to be at peace.

Your camera just shut off again, didn't it?

The team heeds the warning

and leaves the house immediately.

Even though we caught good evidence and that,

it was not a happy moment, you know,

'cause you knew someone lost their life recently

for a useless and no-good reason.

And I still think about that today.

You know, it still runs through my mind.

Can you move that curtain again?

Dude!

I swear, I think the curtain just moved again.

Coming up, a legendary cryptid runs wild in the Everglades.

The Florida Everglades are home to a number of rare species,

including the West Indian Manatee,

the Florida panther,

and the American crocodile.

But perhaps the rarest of all is a creature that's said to be

lurking deep within this vast region of tropical wetlands --

the skunk ape.

Named for its pungent smell,

this cryptid is reported to be a smaller version of Bigfoot,

standing about 7 feet tall and weighing around 300 pounds.

20 years ago,

a man captured some video of one in the Everglades,

and it's considered to be

one of the most credible pieces of evidence of a skunk ape

to date.

It's July 2000 in Ochopee, Florida.

Dave Shealy is scouting for deer,

when he spots something else about 140 yards away.

It's a large creature covered in reddish-brown hair,

walking upright.

Almost immediately, Dave knows what this thing is.

A skunk ape.

My name is Dave Shealy, and this is my skunk ape video.

I run a hunting facility for deer hunters.

I was trying to get some pictures of a big buck

to kind of get people excited about hunting,

and that's when it all went down.

At first, the skunk ape slowly walks through the marsh.

But then, possibly because it realizes Dave is there,

it breaks into a run.

It was running as fast or faster than a deer.

The creature continues to run

until it finally disappears into the surrounding foliage.

And this wasn't the first time

Dave had seen one of these creatures.

Dave grew up in the Everglades,

and in 1974, when he was just 10 years old,

he spotted one while out hunting with his older brother.

Ever since then, Dave has seen a total of four

and is constantly searching for more.

I did have another sighting back in around 1990

where I took a few still photographs,

and that was like seeing a ghost.

I really couldn't believe what I was seeing when I saw it.

You spend so much time looking,

and when you finally see something,

it's a little overwhelming.

There are a few popular videos of the skunk ape,

but of them, I think this is probably the most compelling

because we get a good, long look at the creature,

which I think lends a little credibility

to the fact that this might actually be

a capture of a heretofore-unrecorded cryptid.

What I find so compelling about this

is that this creature appears to be going about its day

in no particular hurry

until it notices that it has been detected.

Then it starts moving, and it moves fast.

And that's no easy feat through that water

and certainly not something a human could do.

And considering where this was filmed, it's an ideal place

for an elusive creature like the skunk ape to duck and hide.

The Everglades is a vast, vast swampland.

I think that anywhere in the world

that's got the least amount of man contact

can actually harbor and keep a cryptid like this.

I do believe that animals are changing

and maybe interspecies breeding amongst themselves

to the point where they're creating new species

that we haven't logged down,

and those eventually turn into cryptids

until we actually document them and find more of them.

Which is exactly what Dave is hoping to do.

He's even dedicated his life to researching them.

I've been a full-time skunk ape researcher now

going on 36 years.

That's what I do --

I eat and breathe, sleep skunk ape.

And Dave's hoping all his efforts

will ultimately help protect Florida's famous cryptid.

To me, this footage was the proof that I needed

to prove to the world, to the national park where I live

that these things exist

and that there's a reason for them to be concerned

and put measures in place to protect them.

Coming up, an extraterrestrial light show over Vegas...

My adrenaline is running.

Look at this.

When you think of Las Vegas, Nevada,

the first thing that comes to mind are the outlandish casinos

and bright lights of the Vegas Strip.

But believe it or not, just a few miles away

is a quieter side to this iconic desert city,

lined with majestic mountains,

deep canyons, and wide-open skies.

making it for many the perfect place to retire.

But make no mistake --

just because the dazzle of the casinos is nowhere in sight

doesn't mean you can't take in a jaw-dropping show

every now and then.

Just ask one recent retiree

who only had to look up to the sky to see this.

Look at how big this is!

It's unbelievable.

This is a major UFO event.

It's December 2019 in Summerlin, Nevada,

a residential community

that sits 12 miles outside of the Las Vegas Strip,

nestled at the edge

of Spring Mountains and Red Rock Canyon.

Steve Barone moved here eight years ago

because of the magnificent views.

Tonight, he steps outside to enjoy them for a moment,

when suddenly...

Okay, man. I don't even know how to say this.

My adrenaline is running.

Look at this.

This thing looks big.

It looks big.

It's unbelievable.

My name is Steve, and these are my videos.

My adrenaline is running.

Look at this.

Soon as I walked out, I look to the south,

and I see this gigantic, bright light in the sky.

Look at how big this is!

It's unbelievable.

And to me, it looked like it was

anywhere from 9 to 15 miles away.

What's even more startling

is the object seems to be moving at an incredible rate of speed.

This thing is moving.

No sound, you guys. No sound.

There was no sound at all. I didn't hear anything.

No jet, no sound.

I should have been able to hear something.

This is the biggest thing in the sky.

I timed it from when it took off to where it went down,

and it was three minutes,

So in three minutes -- you do the math,

and you can go 50 miles in three minutes.

That's 1,000 miles an hour. Okay?

That's way faster than anything should be going over this city.

And the UFO show is just beginning.

Now I see one light

and a second flashing light right next to it.

You see that?

And then there's all these other little blinky lights.

People think that because something blinks

or because it has red and green lights

that it has to be something conventional.

That isn't the truth.

Steve is convinced what he's seeing is extraterrestrial.

This is a major UFO event.

No one can tell me this is not a major UFO event.

I don't know what that is.

It's moving incredibly fast -- incredibly fast.

This thing is moving.

No sound, you guys. No sound.

I think the lack of sound

is the most validating point of these videos.

That's alien.

Anything with that mass flying through the air,

anything human, would make noise.

And believe it or not,

Steve has been seeing things just like this

for the past five years.

In 2015, Steve captured a series of videos

that can only be described

as incredible unidentified aerial phenomena

lurking above the Earth.

This one is from July 23, 2015.

Amazingly, these UFOs you are watching now on your screen

cannot be seen with the naked eye.

Steve uses night vision equipment

to pick up what the human eye can't.

The footage has been sped up slightly

to help illustrate their pattern of movement.

I would see them form, like, the geometric shape,

and then they would lock in.

The shape would lock,

and then that whole shape would actually tumble

into a nice straight line, perfectly spaced.

Just phenomenal.

There was one point where I'm thinking "Is that Orion?"

Are they forming a constellation?

Is this a form of communication?

Are they telling us, "This is where we come from"?

"If you can figure it out,

if you can map out what we're showing you,

we're telling you a bit about ourselves."

And perhaps what they're telling us

is something that Steve believes he already knows.

I believe in aliens.

I believe they've been coming here for a long, long time

and that some of them might just live here now.

Here's the key takeaway from this footage --

if so much activity is remaining undetected by the naked eye...

...then what's happening up there right now

that we can't see?

This is a major UFO event.

No one can tell me this is not a major UFO event.

Coming up -- all alone...

I think I'm hearing voices, too. Probably the witch.

...in a house of horrors.

Oh, my God.

In the U.S., there are countless iconic locations

that are almost guaranteed to be haunted.

Spooky houses...

...mysterious woods...

...and ancient indigenous burial grounds.

But what happens when a location has all three of these things?

My heart's starting to race.

One ghost hunter witnessed all of this firsthand

when he accepted a 30-minute dare.

But will he survive the challenge?

Hello? Who's back here?

Oh, my God, bro.

Something just flew.

January 2020 near Tampa Bay, Florida.

If you guys don't know, this is

one of the most scariest places you can come and investigate.

Novice ghost hunter Alex Schwartz --

a.k.a. Al Capone --

is about to enter a place dubbed the Blair Witch House,

rumored to have been built

on ancient Native American burial grounds.

What up, guys? It's your boy Al Capone.

I'm so scared 'cause I'm in the middle of nowhere

in the woods at the Blair Witch House.

But that's not all.

The now-abandoned home was once reportedly owned by someone

said to have been into witchcraft and satanic rituals,

and anyone who dared pay a visit to the home

would only do so in pairs,

for fear of the evil that lurked inside.

Tonight, Alex has decided to go it alone.

Guess what. I'm going savage.

I'm doing a 30-minute-alone challenge.

My name is Alex, and this is my video.

My friends dared me, so I had to go do it.

Usually, I don't feel scared

doing 30-minute-alone challenges,

but when you're walking through the woods --

yeah, I started getting a little bit anxious.

Definitely felt paranoid.

Despite his trepidation, Alex enters the house.

I'm gonna close this door.

Not lock it, 'cause I don't want to get locked in.

And his 30-minute clock starts now.

Oh, man.

When you walk through that door,

you feel a heaviness on your shoulders,

you feel a little bit depressed,

you feel like you're being watched.

Watched and almost instantly toyed with.

A chandelier is swinging -- apparently,, of its own accord.

Whatever's here ain't playing no games.

No electricity, no breeze. The house is solid.

For something to be moving in there isn't right.

It's not right at all.

Something just moved.

Oh, the cabinets just moved or something.

I don't know what that was.

All right, I got to start breathing,

because my heart's starting to race.

Hello?

Alex has only been in the house for five minutes,

and the activity is already making him deeply uncomfortable.

Still, he attempts to communicate

with whatever might be in this house.

Are you a witch?

Did you keep people hostage in this house?

Ooh, man!

Hello?

I'm trying not to show fear.

A lot of the activity

that seems to be happening in this house for Alex,

to me, sort of reads as poltergeist activity.

Poltergeist or not, something seems to be here,

and it apparently is not in the mood for company.

I hate this house.

And I planned on going outside for you guys in this 30 minutes,

but I don't think I'm going to.

Oh, my God, bro.

Something just flew. Something just flew.

Oh, my God.

Where'd that come from?

McNEILL: Is this an intellectual presence,

is this something that's intelligent,

that is provoking the investigator,

or are these residuals?

Is this repeating energy

that's simply acting out an activity that took place

over and over again in that space for a long time?

Whoa!

It's hard to tell.

One-quarter of the way through,

and it's only getting worse for Alex.

I think I'm hearing voices, too.

It's probably the witch, trying to communicate.

Oh, my God.

Hello? Who's back here?

I'm not messing around.

Now, for the investigator, I would advise --

use those objects.

Use that activity to establish some sort of conversation

and find out, what does this thing want?

What does it want you to know, and does it mean any harm?

There's 10 minutes left to go,

when suddenly....

Whoo!

Ohhh!

Oh, man.

...a large jug filled with water just misses his head.

Oh, man. I don't even know.

If a spirit was able to move something that heavy that far...

Whoo! Ohhh!

I don't know.

To me, at that point, I would have left,

because that means that it's really powerful.

Powerful, and seemingly determined

to get its point across --

in a terrifying way.

Alright, guys, so, here's the deal.

Either something evil is trying to lock me in

or there's actually someone on the other side of the door.

I walked through the doorway,

and it actually slammed behind me.

And I think I remember just praying to God

and asking God to protect me and be with me.

Dear Heavenly Father, I pray that you protect me.

I pray that you protect anybody watching this.

I pray that you give --

We ain't gonna stop the prayer. We ain't gonna stop the prayer.

It seemed that those prayers were aggravating the activity.

Does this mean

that there was something evil or demonic in the home?

Not necessarily.

But when it comes to prayer, to have faith,

to believe in something when you do the work

is very important.

Alex is on the cusp of completing the challenge.

But it's going to be close.

I don't feel good.

Oh

I'm done, guys. I'm sorry, man.

I don't know where I'm at.

Oh, I'm done, man.

I think I'm close to 30 minutes.

My leg's killing, I feel sick,

and I got a long walk out of the woods --

Ohh! I'm gone.

Although he survives the 30-minute-alone challenge,

he is shaken to the core

and unlikely to take a dare like this ever again.

At least, not in thishouse.

This stuff is real, evil does exist,

and I would just say, stay far away from the house as you can.

Do not go there.

Whoo! Ohh, man.

Coming up, a shapeshifter is on the hunt...

for babies.

Deep in the darkest heart of Filipino folklore

sits a creature that strikes fear

into everyone who hears its name --

a shapeshifting evil entity known as the Aswang,

part vampire, part werewolf, and part witch.

The Aswang lives among humans by day

and could be your next-door neighbor.

But once the sun goes down, it shapeshifts

into a bloodthirsty, terrifying ghoul

hunting its favorite prey --

babies and fetuses.

Unfortunately, this hair-raising creature

might not only exist in folklore, as one of them

may have been recently caught on a security camera

heading straight for the residents

of a housing development.

June 2019 in the Philippines.

Some men are reviewing a video that was recorded at 1:00 a.m.

by a security camera outside a housing development

and are horrified at what they see.

Watch closely, as an amorphous gray figure

walks through the gates and heads toward the houses.

Look again, as the entity approaches the gate

and its transparent body melts through it

as if it weren't there.

And as it gets closer, it starts to take shape

into something that looks distinctly human, but not quite.

The two men watching are sure of it --

they are witnessing a shapeshifting creature

called an Aswang.

And it's on the hunt.

Could this be a genuine shapeshifter?

There's many different things in this video

that make me think, "Well, maybe."

The fact that it walks outside the gate

and then somehow morphs through it without opening the door.

The people watching are amazed that it was able to do that.

I personally love this video, as a Filipino-American person.

According to the legend,

Aswang are able to make themselves so thin

that they could hide behind a bamboo tree.

And so the fact that it's able to come through this gate

makes a lot of sense.

You know, they were able to contort themselves in such a way

that they could walk through it

and then form into a human being.

What strikes me most about this video is,

you can see before it materializes through the gate --

you can see an energy, a light zoom to position.

So you see something zoom to the gate,

and then it kind of creates an antimatter through the gate,

and then it materializes into this man.

And I have never seen anything like that.

What I found most unusual about this clip

was this person's demeanor.

He lookshuman but doesn't acthuman,

and that's a telltale sign that there's some sort of strange --

either possession going on

or an entity kind of wearing its shapeshifting skin

that doesn't know exactly how to be human.

This is the freaky kind of footage

that you both want to see but never want to experience.

And for good reason.

Aswangs are known as the evil spirit that lives among humans

with a "Jekyll and Hyde" persona,

living as shy, quiet villagers by day

and then transforming into bloodthirsty animals at night.

Like the shapeshifters and skinwalkers here in America,

the Aswang tend to have a malevolent presence to them.

They seem to be disguising themselves

as something that they're not in order to exist among us,

and not for the sake of doing anything good.

Fortunately, whatever this thing was,

it didn't end up stealing any babies in the area --

at least, as far as we know.

And thanks to the security camera,

the guards remain on high alert,

just in case it decides to visit again.

Without hesitation, this clip is chilling --

or, in paranormal terms, it's creepy AF.

Coming up, a man is continually woken up

by a ghost.

Crawling into bed to get a good night's sleep

is a welcome ending to a long, tiring day.

It's a time to recharge your body

and hopefully drift off peacefully to dreamland.

But it's also the time

when you're the most defenseless and vulnerable,

when any kind of intruder can sneak up on you undeterred --

like insects...

pets...

...and for one man in Florida,

a menacing and potentially evil spirit.

September 2019, Lake Park, Florida.

Almost every night,

something visits Jason Pennington in his bed.

He also hears noises coming from his closet.

After a few months of dealing with

the unexplainable disruptions

and beside himself with exhaustion,

Jason calls upon Vickie Burnett --

a paranormal investigator and psychic medium --

for advice.

She sets up a camera to record

the activity in his bedroom overnight.

When they review the footage the next day,

it becomes apparent what's causing Jason's lack of sleep.

Look closely at the left of the screen.

A little after 2:00 a.m., as Jason reaches for his blanket,

a small, ghostlike arm appears to be holding on to it.

Then the apparition seems to go with the blanket

as Jason grabs it and pulls it towards him.

Two minutes later, the specter sits back,

like an animal might -- on its hind legs.

You can see the legs here

and its torso and head here.

Jason and paranormal investigator Vickie are stunned.

My name is Vickie, and I'm the one who shot this video.

I'm Jason Pennington. That was me in the bed.

I'm the one that's getting visited by ghosts at night.

I was never scared.

She had a different opinion.

I was very concerned.

I immediately felt that whatever here -- it wasn't human.

So that's why I agreed to go ahead and set up the cameras

and see what we could find.

This video really freaked me out.

Videos of people sleeping and things happening to them

is probably the most terrifying thing,

just because, you know, we're so vulnerable when we're sleeping.

No one wants to actually see that they weren't imagining it,

that they weren't just dreaming, that something was truly there.

It's so clear that something is reaching out

and grabbing this blanket and pulling it off of him.

It's not just energy.

It's not just an invisible force.

We actually see arms of some kind

reach out and grab that blanket.

So my mind immediately leaps to

some sort of mischievous or malevolent house spirit

or entity or ghost that is in this space

that really wants to be messing with this guy.

What's especially creepy to me

is that you actually see something of a form

that looks to be skulking and crawling on top of the bed.

It's almost, like, troll-like and up to no good.

So, then, if it's not human and appears almost troll-like,

what exactly is this thing?

I don't think it has good intentions.

I think we're actually dealing with more than one entity.

I think we have one main entity that's using other entities

in order to make Jason sleep-deprived.

Their goal is to cause a person to be sleep-deprived,

to get them into a condition

where they can try to control their life,

because their ultimate goal is the destruction of that person.

When she puts it like that, it scares me.

And rightfully so,

because Jason was exhausted with no end in sight,

and that was taking its toll.

I don't even know if he realized it,

but we did notice him changing.

His behavior changed.

And he became short-tempered,

and we could see that each day, he was becoming

more and more sleep-deprived, so we were very concerned.

Sleep deprivation is a surefire way

to start scratching at the human psyche.

If there is a negative entity attached to you and it wants

to feed off of the negative aspects of that individual,

it could definitely use tactics like sleep deprivation,

because that's one of the easiest ways

to kind of unhinge the human psyche

to the point where they can become negative,

they could become depressed, they could become agitated.

And all are forms of energy in which a negative entity

that has an attachment to you would love to feed off of.

Though he has yet to fully resolve the situation,

Jason isn't fearful or panicking at all.

But he is still very much in need of a good night's sleep.

People have thought I was crazy for so long --

they thought I was lying about ghosts and making it up --

but I was so happy when that came out.

It would be nice to sleep again.

What should you do in the event

you witness something paranormal?

Here are some tips to get it all on camera.

Keep the cameras rolling...

Whoa! Something just flew.

...no matter what.

Remember, evil comes in many forms.

- Dude. - Did you see that? - Saw that.

Keep both eyes on the night sky.

This is a major UFO event.
