Next on "Paranormal Caught on Camera"...

A man in Florida looks out his back door

and spots what could be a werewolf.

This is the exact spot that I just -- ooohh!

This is horrifying footage for so many reasons.

Two ghost hunters stare into a mirror

and a ghost stares back.

This is straight out of a horror movie.

It's bone-chilling.

Are these misty apparitions...

Look, there it is.

...the spirits of departed miners?

There it is again.

Isn't that incredible?

I was giddy. It was so exciting

that we were actually making that connection.

The ghost of a long-deceased cat shows up on its owner's couch.

So I'm like, "God, I think that

this looks exactly like Blackjack.

Do you think it could be him?"

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

Dude, I don't know. These are fascinating.

...to believe.

Florida, otherwise known as the Sunshine State --

a place of beautiful beaches,

a certain world-famous theme park...

...and a plethora of first-rate golf courses.

But look a little deeper...

...and it gets a little more terrifying.

Think alligators, the legendary skunk ape,

and as one young man recently spotted in his own backyard,

a 12-foot werewolf-like creature that may very well have been

This is the exact spot.

...a dog man.

Ooohh!

June 2020 in Fort Pierce, Florida,

Davarius Stubbs is sitting

in his back doorway smoking a cigarette,

when he notices something moving in the woods behind his home,

so he snaps a quick picture and immediately puts it on Facebook,

asking if anyone else sees what he sees.

A human, dog-like face, almost like a werewolf,

that seems to be staring at him.

Davarius is chilled to the bone. But it gets worse --

A couple of hours later, a freaked-out Davarius

gets on Facebook Live to discuss the photo with friends.

As he's live-streaming, he goes to his back door

to show where exactly he took the photo.

Watch carefully.

Ooohh!

Ohh!

Did you catch that?

Watch again in slow motion,

as an enormous, beast-like creature

jets across Davarius' backyard.

What...the...hell was that?

My name is Davarius Stubbs,

and I'm the person who recorded the live video.

Ooohh!

Ohh!

I don't know where it came from or why it came,

but it just popped up out of nowhere.

Ooohh!

It shocked me, because it was unexpected.

I wasn't thinking anything like that

was gonna pop up out of nowhere, so it kind of freaked me out.

I slammed the door,

and I really wasn't trying to see anything after that.

Ooohh!

Ohh!

This is horrifying footage for so many reasons.

The curvature, not only of the spine,

but the way that it goes into the legs,

is unlike any humanoid I've ever seen.

Immediately you can count out

that this is a person in a costume.

If you look closely, it's almost a bit translucent.

You can almost see through this creature,

like it's made of smoke or steam, or something like that.

I get the sense that it was almost

phasing in and out of our reality, almost as if it had

the "Predator" cloaking device on it, but it was faulty,

and bits and pieces of it were being

revealed and re-cloaked as it walked.

Seems to be a little more ethereal

when it goes by in slow motion.

Even in fast motion, though, it's hard to see it.

Ooohh!

The details are not very present,

and yet you're left with an overall image

of this uncanny creature

moving very, very fast right past the camera lens.

The incident had me a little spooked,

that I couldn't even sleep that night.

I stayed up until the sun came up.

I didn't even think about going to sleep.

So, the obvious question -- what is this thing?

Could it really be some kind of werewolf,

as the first photo suggests?

Or perhaps something similar, known as the dog man --

half dog, half man, all terrifying.

These dog men have been seen since the 1930s,

and they're not just seen in America,

they're seen all over the world.

It might just be a, you know,

bipedal creature that we know nothing about.

I can tell you that whatever this is,

it's not a known animal that I'm aware of.

It's not something that we've ever seen before,

and it's something extraordinary.

I just don't know that it's a dog man, necessarily.

People have been telling me it's all types of things.

I've heard it was supposed to be a skincrawler or a rake --

it was all kind of things that I heard

and I'm was supposed to be, but I really don't know.

Davarius is no closer to figuring out

just what on Earth he saw that night,

but he is now on high alert all the time.

To this day, I'm baffled.

I still don't know what it is,

still don't understand what it is,

and I don't even understand why I saw it, but...

Yeah, I don't know what it is.

Ooohh!

Ohh!

Coming up...

a beloved feline returns from beyond the grave.

It's like, I'm like, "Oh, my God, I think that

this looks exactly like Blackjack.

Do you think it could be him?"

For thousands of years,

cats have played a significant role in mythology and folklore.

Some ancient Egyptian deities

were depicted with catlike features.

A Persian legend describes cats as having magical origins...

...and the Norse goddess Freya

was said to drive a chariot pulled by two black cats.

Even today, many cat owners believe their cats

have senses and abilities beyond human comprehension,

allowing them to transcend the bounds of ordinary life.

So would it be that far-fetched to imagine

after your cat passed away, it might come back for a visit?

Not for one couple in England

who may have captured video footage of exactly that.

May 24, 2020, in Swindon, England --

after Chloe Cooper and her partner Xavier

returned to their home from a family barbecue,

Chloe reviews her living room security camera footage

to see what her mischievous cats, Logan and Rummy,

have been up to while she and Xavier were away.

Initially, she sees nothing awry.

That is, until she gets to the part of the video

when she and Xavier return home

As the room's lights turn on,

keep an eye on the couch to the left

as the form of a cat begins to materialize,

becoming seemingly solid as the camera adjusts

from night vision to daylight mode.

And that fully-formed cat was neither Logan nor Rummy.

I'm Chloe Cooper. This is my partner, Xavier Pickford,

and I filmed this video on my security camera.

When I saw the video, like, my heart just stopped.

It gave me the shivers straight away.

It just completely got me. Like, choked me up a little bit.

Chloe was choked up because the cat in the video

looked just like another cat of hers named Blackjack,

Pookie!who had passed away almost exactly a year earlier.

I was like, "Oh, my God, I think that this looks

exactly like Blackjack. Do you think it could be him?"

It looked exactly like him. He is just a solid black cat.

It was kind of like a, "Oh, my God, that's Blackjack."

And then we kind of thought, "Are we just thinking

'Oh my God, that's Blackjack' because we want it to be him?"

When that cat is there on that couch,

it really looks like a real cat is there.

It's kind of amazing.

The cat doesn't just emerge. It slowly phases into

what appears to be almost a corporeal form.

It seems to have volume and substance,

and that's notable, especially when nothing else

in the room appears to be changed.

To have something completely solidly manifest

when the lights are turned on that was not there before

speaks to the idea that it's something

supernatural rather than natural that's taking place.

And there's another element to this capture

that makes it even more notable.COOPER: Pookie!

I couldn't help but notice that the woman

actually pokes her head in,

almost looks directly at the cat,

but doesn't seem to notice that it's there.

She wasn't able to see it.

Maybe she's not on the frequency.

Maybe she's not on that vibration.

We know that the full spectrum of lights,

the human eye can only perceive a very small amount of it

where we have X-rays on one side, gamma rays on the other.

Our perception of our universe is very limited.

Cameras can pick up and reveal

certain bits that the human eye cannot.

So then, if it was Blackjack

who actually returned to Chloe and Xavier that day,

what might have caused the visit?

Even animals have the capability

of sticking behind energetically.

They have spirits themselves, and souls,

and maybe this cat didn't want to leave,

was really comfortable on his couch,

comfortable living in this house,

loved its owner, loved being in that space.

A lot of times, the energy that you can produce in your sorrow

kind of makes these pets stay around for awhile.

I mean, I don't think they stay around forever,

but I think there are some kind of

surviving energy in these pets that were very loved.

Or perhaps it's not Blackjack at all --

or at least the intelligent ghost of Blackjack --

but rather his residual energy.

What other creature loves routine as much as a human?

Cats.

They love to sit in the same places,

they have their spots, they have their routines,

and we, the humans, are their servants.

We cater to them.

And it seems with this potentially residual feline,

we might just be seeing the favorite spot

of a cat that used to lord over that room.

Whatever the explanation is for the apparent visitation,

cat owners may take comfort in seeing the image of Blackjack.

McNEILL: For a long time, the loss of a pet

was something that you were expected

to get over fairly quickly and fairly easily.

Knowing that the spirits of humans often come back to visit,

retain that connection, remain in places where they felt

comfortable and at home and familiar.

It makes absolute sense that an animal spirit

might do exactly the same thing.

I'd like to think that Blackjack

is having a good afterlife.

Pookie!

Coming up...

two men looking into a haunted mirror...

and see a ghost.

Mirrors...

perhaps more than any other everyday object,

they carry the weight of superstition

and hold ties to the paranormal.

For instance...

...breaking a mirror is often said to bring bad luck.

Grieving customs of cultures around the world

call for covering mirrors

to avoid trapping the soul of the deceased.

And many believe that even for the living,

a mirror can serve as the gateway to another dimension --

for better or worse.

So when two Chinese ghost hunters

inside a supposedly haunted home looked into a mirror,

maybe they shouldn't have been so surprised

to see someone else staring back.

March 2020, in China.

A ghost hunter named Xiao Long and a friend

decide to investigate an abandoned home

that is said to be haunted by an evil entity.

From the moment they enter

the littered rooms of the derelict house,

they're creeped out.

Still, they decide to set up a spirit-conjuring device

called a pang xi.

A pang xi is actually Malaysian in origin,

and it involves using a spoon on a board and asking it to move.

If this moves, then you know

you've established communication,

and it's not all that dissimilar

to our Westernized spirit boards.

It is unbelievably cross-cultural,

the use of some sort of stick-shaped object

and a number of options

from which a spirit can choose, as a form of divination.

That's something that we see all across the world.

Something just made a loud noise outside.

Now, as Xiao Long shines his flashlight

through the window to investigate,

look carefully at the pang xi board reflected behind him.

Did you catch that?

Watch the reflection again in slow motion,

as the spoon on the pang xi board begins to spin.

What we see here is some pretty active communication.

Whatever entity might be in this place,

it certainly seems willing to present itself to them.

Of course, the downside to using a spirit board

is that you're inviting these supernatural presences

to make themselves known.

And once they come in, you know,

it's hard to sometimes get them to go away.

Is it possible Xiao Long and his friend

have conjured a spirit using the board,

and it's now somewhere in the house?

They take another look around.

Xiao Long notices a mirror turned facedown on a table.

Knowing that mirrors

are sometimes portals to the other side,

they turn it over and look into it.

Nothing.

But they can't resist looking one more time.

Did you see it?

The face of what appears to be an old woman

is visible between the two friends

in the mirror's reflection.

This is straight out of a horror movie.

It's bone-chilling.

The old woman that we're seeing in this reflection

sort of reminds me of the hag or the chrome,

which is this old woman spirit

that has been seen in cultures all over the world.

But if this is a spirit of an old woman,

why would she only be visible in the mirror

and not with the naked eye?

McNEILL: Mirrors have held paranormal significance for centuries.

Looking indirectly at something is often a way

that people can reveal something

that they wouldn't be able to see otherwise.

So catching something in a mirror

and then turning around, and it's not standing behind you

is a very common experience and a very common manifestation

of hauntings and presences like this.

So the fact that they see this woman in this brief moment

that they're looking into this mirror --

she is probably there the whole time.

Mirrors, in some schools of thought,

are seen to be portals to another dimension.

You're seeing kind of a direct opposite of your physical realm.

Understandably, after seeing what they saw in that mirror,

Xiao Long and his friend

immediately run to their car and race away...

...minds completely blown.

That old woman in the mirror is what nightmares are made of.

Coming up...

are these lights evidence of a crashed UFO?

Despite the thousands of UFO sightings

reported every year around the world,

most people will go their entire lives without seeing one.

And of the people who do see UFOs,

almost none of them have ever seen one crash to Earth.

But it does happen...

allegedly.

And there's one young man in Alabama

who may have accidentally captured proof

of one of these crash landings

when he walked into the woods behind his house

and stumbled upon what may have been a damaged alien craft.

July 2019, Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

It's late at night, and Kellen Horn

walks into the woods behind his home.

He's testing out a new spotlight

and some other recently purchased equipment

When something stops him dead in his tracks.

Did you catch that?

Watch again in slow motion,

as a single red light appears in the distance.

It blinks again and again.

Kellen has no idea what he is looking at,

so he repositions himself to get a better look...

...and sees this --

strange red and white lights

which seem to be suspended in midair.

Kellen is freaked out, but moves a little closer.

I'm Kellen Horn, and I'm the one that shot the video.

It freaked me out.

It kind of scared me that I seen the red lights.

Well, at first, I could only see

like, one or two little, red lights behind the tree,

and it kind of just looked like red eyes.

When I seen all those lights at once, it kind of just, like...

shocked me.

Kellen decides not to push his luck and heads back home,

but goes back the next day to investigate further

and finds nothing.

I didn't see anything.

I went back over to the place I was at, and it's like,

I didn't see any buildings or anything back there.

So what on Earth did Kellen see?

When we first see this clip, we think,

"This looks, you know, like a string of red Christmas lights."

The thing is, this is in the middle of the woods.

It's not near anybody's house.

And in addition to that, this is July,

so that kind of begs the question,

why would there be Christmas lights

in the middle of nowhere, near nobody's home, and especially,

you know, who's plugging them in in the middle of July?

It didn't look like it was

a bunch of people camping out in the woods.

I mean, there's obviously no electrical outlets

in the middle of wherever this was filmed.

So if the lights are unnatural,

what could Kellen have been looking at that night?

To me, my mind jumps toward UFO --

obviously not in the sky, obviously not flying,

so, U.O.?

Unidentified object sitting in the woods,

flashing different-colored lights through the trees.

This kind of makes sense visually, at least.

You see a large object, brightly lit,

you know, all kinds of different lights on it.

You imagine a UFO landing,

it's almost exactly what it would look like.

But if it was a UFO,

why would it be here in the middle of the woods?

When I think about a UFO landing in the woods,

the first thing that comes to my mind

is that they chose that location

because it's secluded and covered by trees,

so they can use the area as kind of a home base

so they can leave and go exploring.

Are they taking soil samples?

Are they looking for somebody to probe?

We don't know,

but perhaps it wasn't even their intention to land there at all.

You know, crafts are just a piece of machinery

and sometimes they need to be serviced,

and, you know, they need to land.

So is it possible that this craft,

if that's what it is, actually crashed here?

Any UFO crash that we have heard of

has thus far occurred in a fairly remote area --

open expanses of desert, wide swathes of jungle,

the middle of the ocean,

in the depths of the forest, as this video might suggest.

It might be that maybe it's stuck.

Maybe it's stuck on some magnetic rocks or something,

where it can't get the propulsion

to lift up in the air again.

I mean, who knows what they're doing out there?

And if it wasn't something extraterrestrial?

Buckle up.

The only thing I could think of is that maybe,

yes, it was there for that time.

Maybe there was a rip, a gash in our reality

that allowed him to peer through

and see an earlier time, or perhaps a future time,

when, yes, there is a house there.

Yes, there are Christmas lights there.

But as the moon set and the sun rose,

that rift closed,

thereby obscuring all the evidence.

Anything is possible, and the lesson is clear --

beware visitors from another time or plane.

Coming up...

is this mysterious mist the spirit of a departed miner?

Historically speaking,

few jobs are more deadly than mining.

In the United States, over 100,000 people

died in mines in the 20th century alone.

And that stands to reason.

Whether by suffocation, explosion, wall collapses,

or anything else from the long list

of mine-related maladies, miners face incredible risk

just by doing their jobs every day.

Naturally, some believe that the mines

that saw these untimely deaths --

many of which have long since closed down --

still resonate with the souls of the fallen even today.

Which is why a group of paranormal investigators

traveled to a closed-down mine in New Jersey.

And when they looked around,

it seemed like those lost souls were eager to say "hello."

Show us your presence by making the smoke

show up in the camera again.

There you go.There it is.

February 2019 in Ogdensburg, New Jersey.

A group of paranormal investigators

called the Lady Ghostbusters

are exploring the Sterling Hill mine,

whose dark past is well-documented.

There's orbs all over the place here.

There really are.

Yeah, they're just, like, flying.

I'm Maryann Taylor,

and I did film the video in the Sterling mine.

My name is Eleanor Wagner, and this was my investigation.

They didn't document the deaths in the mines until 1916,

so it's been pretty established that

there were hundreds of deaths

that were undocumented until that point.

And then, 77 deaths were recorded

after the mines closed in 1986.

So up until that point, 77 were documented.

When something, like, that tragic happens,

it usually ends up being a haunting.

The Sterling Hill mine in Ogdensburg, New Jersey,

has a very long and, at times, tragic history.

You have cave-ins,

you have people falling down bottomless shafts

and never being seen again,

perhaps their bodies never even being recovered.

So these are lives that were cut short, and tragically.

McNEILL: And even if people make it out alive, the heightened emotions,

the loss of friends and coworkers,

the fear and the anxiety that someone lives with,

as well as just the physical and emotional toll

of doing that hard, manual labor

in that inhospitable environment.

All of that leaves an impression on a space like that.

And on that day in the mine,

the Lady Ghostbusters were quickly made aware

of that impression when they found themselves

suddenly confronted with a strange presence.

There's the smoke again. There's the smoke again.

Oh, my God.

Over and over again,

a white mist materializes in front of the group,

astounding, everyone watching.

There. It's incredible.Yeah. Look at this.

Wow.

Eventually, the mist even seems to

happen on demand from Maryann.

Show us your presence by making the smoke

show up in my camera again.

Not gonna do it?

There you go.There it is, yeah.

There it is. Oh, my God.

Wow. Isn't that incredible?

Oooh. Oh, my God.

He looks like he's smoking.

Yeah.

I was giddy. It was so exciting

that we were actually making that connection.

First thing I tried to do was debunk it.

Like, breathing into the camera, making sure it wasn't, like,

you know, your breath in a cavern type thing,

and it wasn't.

Oh, my God.

Well, and I can tell you that the entire mine was clear

and devoid of any kind of smoke or fog or insects whatsoever.

It was just blank, black chamber,

and then all of a sudden to have this happen and appear --

it was definitely stunning to all of us,

and everyone was so excited.

Oh, my God.

Could these be the spirits

of long-deceased miners making themselves known?

Most of the time, when I see mists like that,

I think it might be their their breath,

but it's usually white.

It's lighter than that color that we were seeing.

This was not just random puffs of smoke appearing.

This was people asking pointed questions --

Can you do that again?

And then all of a sudden, this beautiful, misty smoke

appearing in response to those questions.

Isn't that incredible?

Ooh!

Oh, my God.

What that tells us is, there's something here

that maybe doesn't have the firmness

or the strength to manifest in a human form,

but it's manifesting.

It's showing us its presence in whatever way it can.

To me, that is way scarier

than a ghost or a physical apparition,

because mist sets a scene, it creates an atmosphere,

as opposed to presenting itself to you.

It's creating the atmosphere of death

rather than presenting you with death.

And to me, that is 10 times scarier.

That is really something.

Whatever the cause,

Eleanor and Maryann have a theory

as to what exactly they saw in the mine that day.

What we were thinking is, it was just energy,

or energies, that were taken from us,

and they were excited that we were there,

because somebody actually could see them.

We felt that there was something they wanted to tell us,

and that's what you go into an investigation for.

Or could there be another, even stranger reason for the smoke?

Some researchers claim that quartz,

a mineral that's found frequently

throughout the country,

has the ability to store certain information.

In fact, they use parts of quartz in your computer

to store information.

If you have a traumatic event in these tight spaces

with all of these quartz and minerals,

the Earth, the environment

will literally trap that trauma within it

and release it sporadically when the conditions are right.

There you go. There it is.

There it is.

Regardless, Eleanor and Maryann

were just happy to have witnessed it.

I thought for sure we were gonna be scared being there,

but I don't think any of us were.

I really don't.

You can't be afraid.

I always laugh when I see professionals

and they scream and yell when they catch something.

And I'm like, "You want to catch something."

That's why you go on an investigation.

If you're that scared, don't do it.

Oh, my God.

Coming up...

why do these UFOs keep showing up in Louisiana?

These are fascinating.

Have you ever heard of ley lines?

Originally coined by amateur archeologist Alfred Watkins,

ley lines are intersecting lines carrying supernatural energy

that are marked by sacred locations,

both natural and manmade, all across the globe.

Ley lines are thought to connect over places like Stonehenge,

the pyramids of Egypt, and the Great Wall of China.

And even, according to some ley line maps,

the state of Louisiana.

So maybe the mysterious paranormal energy

that supposedly connects over the state

is the reason for a recent spate of UFO sightings --

ones that look just like this.

I don't know. These are fascinating.

I have not seen anything like that before.

January 5, 2020, in Sibley, Louisiana.

A man is watching a football game on TV.

During a commercial break,

he steps out the back door of his home to smoke a cigarette,

when suddenly...

he notices this.

Several blinking, white lights

with no discernible pattern or consistency,

flashing just overhead.

After a minute of silently filming with his phone in awe,

the man musters up an attempt to describe what he's seeing.

Dude, I don't know. These are fascinating.

I have not seen anything like that before.

I just came outside and they been crossing the sky.

That is a west-southwest direction,

coming from the northeast.

The lights continued for several minutes

before fading away for good.

This clip is incredible. If I didn't know any better,

I would say I was looking at a scene from "Star Wars."

McNEILL: What stood out to me, stylistically,

is sort of the sparkling or spangling nature

of the way that these lights were flashing and moving.

So it was less about an organized formation,

at least to my eye, and more about the way

that the lights were flashing on and off

and moving in concert with each other.

They're going off what seems to be a repeating pattern,

almost like a warning light

that goes off sporadically, in intervals.

I believe that these UFO show up

to convey some sort of message --

whether it's a message through color,

which could mean intention, or a message through blinking,

which could be something similar to, like, Morse code.

Researchers believe that a lot of these lights like this

are actually motherships that are cloaked,

hiding in our atmosphere,

and perhaps, an electrical storm malfunctions the lights,

causing them to blink.

Incredibly, a similar sighting was caught two months earlier,

only 30 miles away in Shreveport...

Hey, now you can see it.

What the is that?

...which is, notably, west-southwest from Sibley.

That is a west-southwest direction.

This could absolutely be the same phenomenon

being cited from two different locations --

both in proximity to each other just a few months apart,

meaning whatever's taking place here, whatever these lights are,

is something that may have been happening

for at least several months at a time.

If so, what is attracting UFOs to Louisiana?

There are certain places in the United States

where paranormal activity or supernatural stuff

just seems to concentrate or coagulate.

And Louisiana is absolutely one of those places.

It's a place where the physical environment,

the geographical location, lend themselves to the mysterious,

the different, the weird, the unexpected.

We see a lot of legends, folk beliefs,

supernatural occurrences,

taking place in this particular area.

Over this particular area in Louisiana,

where all these ley lines conjunct and meet,

could be a very special place

where extraterrestrial visitors might need energetic fields

so that their crafts can be charged up,

so that they can travel not only to other places on this planet,

but to other places within the galaxy or the universe.

Mind blown.

But whatever these things are, one thing is clear --

something is out there,

and it's up to us to figure out what or who it is.

These things seem to have some kind of intelligence to them.

They seem to be communicating to someone,

either themselves or someone on the ground.

But what could they be saying?

I don't know. These are fascinating.

I have not seen anything like that before.

What should you do

in the event you witness something paranormal?

Here are some tips to get it all on camera.

Expect the unexpected.

This is the exact spot that -- ooohh!

Have the courage to take one more look.
