Next on "Paranormal Caught on Camera"...

- a freakish face... - Face, oh, freak.

...emerged in the clouds over Canada...

It was eerie, he was scared at the same time.

...a dog in New Jersey plays catch with a ghost...

It looked like it scared her. Where did my toy go?

...a farmhouse in Pakistan...

...with evil around every corner.

Whatever was there was giving them a warning to get out.

- Did this UFO in Arizona... - Holy

...cause a power outage?

That thing just shut off all the electricity,

over where it flew.

Is it a coincidence? I don't know.

But it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, right?

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

...to believe.

When investigating the paranormal,

especially on your own.

Sometimes it's not what you see that haunts you...

it's what you hear.

And if you aren't seeing what's causing those sounds

Don't worry.

Your camera probably is.

It's June 2018 in Bellegem, Belgium.

Jeffrey Vercaigne is an urban explorer

with a penchant for the paranormal.

He has taken on a challenge to remain inside this abandoned

and supposedly haunted chateau for 30 minutes by himself.

As the story goes, this estate, Maison Duverant was built

in 1928 by a noble family. During World War II,

It was used as a hospital by the Baroness Marguerite Duverant.

Following the war, and after most of her

family members passed away,

the youngest daughter, Isabelle, lived alone in the home

until 1980.

In the decades since, people have reported

seeing a woman in white haunting the abandoned home.

Now, Jeffrey is here to see if the rumors are true.

And just seconds into his challenge,

he gets a feeling that they are.

My name is Jeffrey and this is my video.

There's an incredible amount of energy

that it takes to interact with spirit,

and that energy comes from you.

So feeling drained, feeling a heavy pressure

on your chest is common.

Feeling like it's hard to breathe,

that's a common occurrence.

Despite his immediate discomfort,

Jeffrey forges ahead with the challenge.

And things go from uncomfortable to downright scary.

Listen again.

As the faint sound of footsteps can be heard overhead.

Then...

Against his better judgment,

Jeffrey follows the noises to the second floor.

The banging, the footsteps,

all of these noises were really, really loud and clear.

It sounds like something trying to get his attention.

This isn't just oh, hey,

I'm going about my business upstairs as a spectator.

This is I want youto notice that I'm here

and come check this out.

Could it be the sounds are leading, Geoffrey, to this...

A white dress hanging from the ceiling.

Then seconds later.

What sounds like a woman's scream or a high pitched laugh.

That shriek sent a chill down my spine.

Moreover, it is compelling to me

because it happens right after the investigator discovers

that white dress hanging from the ceiling.

That almost suggests that there is intelligent phenomena.

The noises continue, and Jeffrey,

not even halfway through his 30 minute challenge,

is too freaked out to keep going.

I know that 30 minutes doesn't seem like that long,

but when you're in the presence of some sort of haunting,

the longer that you are there,

the more energy you're giving to this haunting

and the more powerful it'll get.

Safe, at last.

But it wasn't over yet.

When Jeffrey got home,

he reviewed his footage and saw that his camera

captured something terrifying on the second floor,

that his eyes had not.

Watch carefully, as a dark figure

walks past the doorway in the background.

So was this shadow the woman in white?

Or another lost soul trapped in this place for all eternity?

With the history of the chateau,

it would make sense that there would be many a ghost there,

many a spirit --

You have the fallen soldiers, you have the doctors,

you have the family --

There's a lot of opportunity for paranormal activity here.

Whatever it was, Jeffrey is just glad

to have gotten out unharmed.

Coming up, did this UFO...MAIER: Holy!

...cause a blackout?

That thing just shut off all the electricity.

Hello. I know I hear you down here.

Paranormal experiences

can be fairly frightening on their own.

I know I heard you.

Just imagine seeing a shadow figure.

Oh, Oh, my--

Being within a stone's throw...

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

A Bigfoot.

Or looking up in the sky and seeing a UFO.

Holy

Terrifying.

Now, add to that another disruptive event, like,

say, a power outage.

And suddenly, all bets are off.

I don't know if we're under attack or what.

It's June 2020 in Mesa, Arizona.

After putting his kids to bed,

D.J. Maier steps outside for a smoke.

A few minutes later, he looks up and sees this.

Holy

A bright round object floating in the sky.

My name's D.J. and this is my video.

Look at that.

It looked like a perfect blurry circle.

It had a pink orange-ish, lava color to it.

And right in the center of it was a big bright light.

No navigation lights. You couldn't have missed it.

Holy

It didn't make any sound at all whatsoever, no fuzz,

no propeller sound, no jet propulsion, nothing.

What was really eerie about is, I'm not going

to say it was flying. I'm going to say

it was like floating, like it was artificial.

It shouldn't have been there.

What in the.

What is that thing?

The UFO was visible for a few moments,

then starts to go out of view.

So D.J. runs after it.

Did it stop?

He then gets into his car to see if he can catch up to it.

And that's when things get really weird.

I got my car, and I noticed as I'm leaving,

all the electricity's out.

So that thing just shut off all the electricity,

over where it flew.

The entire neighborhood is in darkness.

That shut down power over all this.

D.J. is beside himself.

And then, has a terrifying thought.

I don't know if we're under attack or what.

I felt scared, amazed,

intrigued and just mystified all at the same time.

I can't describe it all.

All the electricity's out. All the electricity's out.

So I called 911 and asked them if anybody else

had reported that -- I told them the area that I lived at.

And they said they had gotten no such calls about that.

And they thanked me for the call. That was it.

This is crazy.

Power is out for a good 15 to 20 minutes.

The neighbors were outside and I had asked them

if they had seen anything.

They just said, no. I just don't get that.

I don't know how. I was the only one that saw that.

So what was it that D.J. saw?

And did it have anything at all to do with the power outage?

Is it a coincidence? I don't know,

but it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, right?

Look at that.

And why didn't anyone else see it?

As far as lights in the sky go,

this one wasn't too flashy. It wasn't too showy.

You would have assumed it was a plane.

You would have assumed it was a star.

But the fact that it started moving at the speed

that it did coinciding with a neighborhood blackout

makes you think, alright.

Was it here to do something?

All the electricity's out.

And I had just recorded that. I caught it.

If it really is a UFO zapping out the power in this area,

it's sort of disconcerting because,

in the eventuality that we might have to defend ourselves,

all of the instruments at our disposal will be useless.

I don't know if we're under attack or what.

This certainly wouldn't be the first instance of a UFO

causing some sort of power outage.

In fact, back on November 9, 1965,

the entire Eastern Seaboard

pretty much went down in a massive blackout.

And what makes that most strange is the fact that right before

the power went out in multiple locations throughout that area,

people reported seeing strange lights in the sky,

Flew directly over my house this way.

And it like shut power off.

I'm not joking with you guys, this is crazy.

Unable to figure out what happened that night,

D.J. tried to find out more information

from his electric company.

I went to the outage calendar on their site,

seeing if there was any recent graphs

of any outages in my area.

Nothing. There was nothing.

Yeah, right.

Now, here's a morsel for the conspiracy theorist

in all of us,

the power company chose not to say anything.

What do they know? What are they hiding?

Whenever I hear about power outages

in relation to UFO activity,

my immediate thought is always, "It's the government."

It's a common tactic to use the cloak of darkness

to either distract people from what's going on in the sky

or to simply make you not see what's happening.

- So it's probably the government. - That thing just shut off

all the electricity over where it flew.

- That is nuts. - Even if this was

an extraterrestrial in nature

and it was the U.S. military just testing out some new device

that can knock out the power of an entire town.

That also scares me.

Whatever it was that happened that night,

it's an event that D.J. will not soon forget.

In terms of what I've seen,

all's I can say is, it was life changing.

And he plans to do whatever he can to be prepared just in case.

I'll tell you this much. I'll keep looking up at the sky

every time I'm outside, that's for sure.

Holy

Coming up...

Is this dog playing with a ghost?

Ever notice how dogs will sometimes act as

if something or someone is nearby,

even though it's clear that no one is there?

They could be simply staring at a wall,

barking at nothing,

or cowering for no apparent reason.

Have you considered that maybe,

just maybe, they're seeing a ghost?

One couple in New Jersey has good reason

to believe their dog has not only seen a ghost,

she actually played with it.

It's April 2020 in Jackson, New Jersey.

Dan Mooney is working from home,

his dog, Bella, is playing with a stuffed toy nearby.

Suddenly...

Did you see that?

Watch again.

As the toy Bella is playing with

is suddenly ripped from her mouth and flung across the room.

My name is Carlee.And I'm Dan.

And this is our video.

I was sitting right here and my dog is just sitting

on the carpet, laying there.

She's playing with her toy.

All of a sudden, the toy just jolts

and she goes to run after. I'm like, wait,

you, you didn't throw that, like you went after that.

I was freaked out.

I was in the other room when it happened

and I walked out of the bedroom

and I just see the color of his face pretty much leave,

and he's like, "You got to check the camera."

So we had looked at the video and I was like,

does this look weird to you?

Because, like, it looked weird to me

because I saw it fly out of her face

and then it was on the camera was.

Okay, that isweird.

If this is, in fact,

caused by some sort of paranormal force.

It's, it's number one,

a pretty powerful one and a very deliberate one.

The thing is ripped away from the dog in such a way

that it actually projected across the room

and the dog seemed to have a pretty good grasp on it.

The dog doesn't seem particularly frightened

or freaked out. We certainly see videos

sometimes of animals

reacting to a spectral presence with fear, hackles raised,

fur standing on end, backing away defensive posture.

So this is either an entity that is very, very benign

or an entity that

this dog has interacted with on a regular basis.

If a spirit can interact with a person,

for sure it can interact with a dog,

I would much rather interact with a dog as a ghost.

They're usually not screaming at you,

telling you to "show yourself!"

Though Carlee and Dan were convinced

that something paranormal made the toy fly away,

they weren't too concerned.

Until three months later,

when another inexplicable event happened in their home,

I was sitting on the couch and I was on my phone

on the corner of my eye, I keep seeing this shadow

like pop up and down behind the couch.

Someone was playing hide and seek and it freaked me out.

So I ran into bedroom.

After she saw that, I was in the bathroom,

the door, which I had closed, opened.

So I actually ended up getting sage

and I cleaned the house.

We slept with the door locked that night.

Was this apparent shadowy entity somehow related

to what happened with Bella?

If they saw a shadow person around the same time,

I would have to assume it has something to do

with this activity.

Shadow figures almost always, perhaps unfairly,

are understood to be malevolent,

not necessarily demonic, but not friendly,

not the kind of presence you want in your home.

If I thought that a shadow person was playing with my dog,

I would be worried.

Nothing out of the ordinary has happened

since they saw the shadow figure.

But Dan and Carlee are keeping their eyes peeled

for more paranormal activity, just in case.

I've been setting the camera every night

to view the full living room,

so when I wake up in the morning from the motion sensor on,

I want to see if something's been moving around at night.

As for Bella, she no longer has to worry about a ghost

stealing that particular toy ever again.

I'm pretty sure she ate it, after that. Yeah.

Coming up, is this the face...

- Face. - ...of a god.

Holy freak.

Have you ever looked up to the sky

and seen a cloud that's shaped like a familiar object?

It could be an animal,

a heart,

or something that's symbolic to only you.

It's a phenomenon otherwise known as pareidolia.

When the brain perceives a meaningful image

or pattern in random objects.

But one man in Canada challenged the theory

that our minds are conjuring these familiar forms up

when he captured this undeniable face in the sky.

A face. Holy freak.

It's August 2011 in New Brunswick, Canada.

A storm is brewing near Denis Laforge's house.

As the clouds are building,

he decides that this is the perfect time

to try out the camera on his new phone.

My name is Denis and this is my video.

My wife told me, look at those interesting clouds,

you should take a video of that.

Said, Oh yeah, okay, you're right.

So I stepped outside and I saw these really weird

cloud formations start to form.

After the video was done and I showed it to my wife

in the house,

says, well, look at all these faces within the video,

like it kept changing and morphing into something else.

It was eerie, it was scary at the same time.

Watch closely.

At first, Denis captures a cloud

that looks somewhat like a pig.

Interesting, but let's face it, not too bizarre.

But then Denis pans around the sky

to see what else he can find.

And finally lands on this.

A cloud that quickly morphs into a huge face.

As the cloud moves across the sky,

it becomes more and more detailed.

To a mind blowing degree.

You can see the nose here.

Here's the eye and the ear is here.

Face. Holy freak.

Free Denis and his wife are stunned.

I put it on YouTube, obviously.

I got e-mails that evening and the next day

saying that I had Photoshopped this and what not.

And not really being really tech savvy, at Photoshop.

I'm like, What's that? I didn't even know what the term was.

So obviously I didn't do any Photoshopping whatsoever.

Some days I think it's just a weather anomaly,

but to a certain extent there is some sort of sign there,

what it means, I wouldn't even fathom a clue.

The detail of his face was amazing.

You could see the cheeks, the jaw, the brow,

even the expression that was making as it opened its mouth.

And for a second, I was expecting it to say something.

Now, this could very easily be blamed on pareidolia,

but even I have to admit that watching this video,

this looked exactly like a face.

I mean, I couldn't have drawn this any better.

I definitely saw a face in those clouds.

And I couldn't help but to think of Zeus,

the god of the heavens, of clouds, of thunder --

or some sort of ancient deity in the sky.

Faces that appear in nature are always significant.

We tend to be drawn to the idea that the natural world

that our planet might want to face us the way we face it

with a human appearance and human characteristics.

So to see a massive human face looking down at us from the sky

constructed of the physical elements

that are available in the celestial heavens.

That's a pretty impactful experience.

Face. Holy freak.

The meaning behind the incredible cloud formation

that Denis captured on camera, nine years ago,

remains in the eye of the beholder.

And Denis feels lucky to have filmed

what's captivated nearly four million viewers online.

It's a conversation piece, to say the least,

now, after these many years

It's like obviously it's died down.

But every once in a while I get asked,

Aren't you the one who took that video there back in the day?

And they have their own version of what they think it is,

which I always enjoy hearing.

That's always kind of cool. Yeah.

Coming up...

A farmhouse of horrors in Pakistan.

Almost every culture has their own type of terrifying spirit.

In the greater Middle East,

it's a mischievous entity called jinn.

According to folklore, jinn is a shapeshifter

that can take any form -- such as black smoke,

an animal, or even a human.

And some say it has the ability

to possess people or follow them home.

A group of paranormal investigators in Pakistan

believe they captured proof

of one of these frightening entities

living in this abandoned farmhouse.

And it's something that they will never forget.

It's January 2020 in Pakistan.

These three men are about to investigate a farmhouse believed

to be haunted by a jinn.

Sometimes referred to as a jann.

And before they even stepped foot inside,

they are invited in.

Naturally, they're a little creeped out.

But decide to enter the house anyway.

And when they do, the activity continues.

The front door has just slammed shut.

And there's much more where that came from.

Slamming doors is a really interesting manifestation

because it does a lot of things at once.

One, it's an implement that's somewhat easy to move.

And it also makes loud noises,

so it catches the attention of the people who are around.

It's got their attention, and though they're terrified,

it also has their curiosity.

Shand enters a room where a door was slammed.

Shand has seen something

and immediately reviews the footage from his phone.

Watch closely as some kind of entity

appears hunched over in the corner.

Could this be a jinn?

When they panned to that corner,

you can see that there is a dark form,

it's like a little crouching demon or a homunculus

casting a shadow in that corner.

When they the lights go on there,

there is no shadow, there is no dark figure.

So it's kind of curious, like, what was that?

Why is that there when the room is dark

and not there when the room is light?

There's a lot of activity in the space.

And to me, this is most similar to a jinn iteration

called a the jann.

The jann is a shapeshifting spirit

that responds to travelers.

And if you travel with a group and the jann decides

that it doesn't like you, then it can manifest

to try to scare you or get you out of its area.

Whatever this thing is, jinn or jann,

it's not done with them yet.

The door has suddenly shut behind them

and they are now apparently locked in this room.

Shuri frantically tries to open the door,

when suddenly...

the door swings open, violently, striking Shuri in the arm.

As much as the pull on that door with all of their force,

they cannot open it.

Yet, when it does open on its own,

it opens with with so much force

that it really digs into the one guy's arm.

That's a lot of force being exerted there.

But wait, it gets even more terrifying.

Though they don't notice it at the time,

one of their cameras catches something

just after the door swings open.

Watch closely as a figure

seems to appear to the left as if peeking in.

That was incredibly compelling.

It absolutely looked like there was something leaning around

the doorway peeking in at them. That was great footage.

When the fear starts to rise in the room,

the energy gets the chance to manifest

and we capture the sighting of this energy

just for a split second.

And that's what tells me it's not a poltergeist activity.

Because poltergeist activity causes doors and cabinets

and objects to slide across tables and things of that sort.

But in this case, we get to see the culprit.

Battered and bruised,

Shuri, Shand, and Assad call it quits.

But at this point,

leaving the premises might not be enough.

This jinn is capable of possessing people,

it will go with the person right back home.

So leaving the farmhouse

doesn't necessarily solve the problem of the haunt,

especially if you've already connected with this energy,

you'll take this energy home with you.

So in this case, if you don't give it the fear and the anger

and the rapt response,

then it's going to find you boring.

It's going to weaken itself,

and then we will no longer have that haunt.

Will their fear cause the jinn

to follow the investigators home?

Only time will tell.

Coming up...

A UFO...

- Are you see this? - with a troubling trajectory.

That thing is, zig-zagging. No freaking way.

When it comes to a UFO sighting,

there are a few factors that add to its overall credibility,

where and when did it happen? How did the object behave?

And perhaps most importantly, who were the witnesses?

Because though anyone can see a strange object in the sky,

there are those who specialized training

makes them expert at telling the ordinary,

from the extraordinary.

Case in point, a former military man in upstate New York

who knew almost immediately that what he saw in the sky

one night was not from this world.

Are you seeing this?

No freaking way.

It's April 2020 in Ilion, New York.

Adam Tillinghast and his wife are watching the sun set

in front of their house,

when suddenly, they both spot a strange blinking light

in the sky.

It's flashing red and green.

And it's stationary and now it's moving again.

Slow.

Did it just not like move real quick to that spot?

My name is Adam and this is my video.

We just went out our front porch,

so strange little flash out of the corner of our eyes

it stayed solid green.

And it would flash red and comes out wide in the video,

which is kind of grainy, but it's actually flashing red.

When it's not flashing, it's green.

As Adam records,

other neighborhood sounds come through loud and clear.

But the UFO remains unnervingly silent.

What the heck is it?

That ain't a drone.

And given Adam's background, he would know.

I knew it wasn't a drone or a helicopter

because I work air wing in the Marine Corps

for eight years.

And I can tell you there's nothing in or around here

that can do that and hover.

Even wind shear would be pushing that,

if that was a helicopter.

Adam is completely baffled by the mystery object

lurking in the clouds.

Then he catches a startling shift in its behavior.

Whoa!

What the?

That thing is zig-zagging.

Honestly, I was like, what the heck was that?

- I told my wife... - Are you seeing this?

She was standing next to me and we're both looking at it like,

well, we've never seen anything like thatbefore.

No freaking way.

This is jaw dropping for both of us.

Finally, the object sinks out of view.

It went right down behind that house,

never came back up, I sat out there and waited, nothing.

What the hell? Whoa!

When an expert eyewitness sees something like this

and they cannot explain it,

my mind always goes to one of two possibilities.

Either this is a manmade craft that has remained secret

or perhaps it's extraterrestrial in nature.

Even wind shear would be pushing that,

if that was a helicopter.

One of the things that makes this video so interesting

is the fact that this object

seems to be zipping back and forth.

What the? That thing is zig-zagging.

It doesn't glide. It doesn't have a direct path.

It seems to zip quickly, stop, zip quickly, stop again.

And that's kind of behavior we don't see with airplanes

- or anything like that. - Are you seeing this?

The fact that it is zigzagging...

No freaking way.

...makes it feel like it's being controlled somehow.

But controlled by whom or what?

Adam has a hunch.

I do believe it was extraterrestrial in nature.

'Cause I have no explanation for it.

I don't know if we're getting watched or what.

No freaking way.

Despite the lack of concrete answers,

Adam plans to continue searching the skies

for more evidence of life beyond Earth.

Fully confident that he'll see another UFO sometime soon.

It is incredible.

I can't wait to see the next one.

What the?

Are you see in this?

No freaking way.

What should youdo in the event

you witnessed something paranormal?

Here are some tips to get it all on camera.

- Keep your eyes... - Face.

- ...on the skies. - Holy freak.

Never stop recording.

Even when you're scared.

Trust that what you're seeing really is otherworldly.

and if you do get something, e-mail us at...

Or connect with us on social media.

Your footage could be seen right here on,
