Next, on
a special episode of

"Paranormal Caught on Camera,"

a fishing trip
in Oregon...

...is interrupted
by a speeding boat

with no driver.

Hey!

I hop up on the transom
of the boat...

Hey!

...and that's when
I realized

there was nobody
looking back at me.

How did these
two men in Canada...

...walk away from this
devastating crash?

I actually saw
two guardian angels

and my father
standing between them.

Truly a paranormal
experience.

A man in Utah

stumbles upon
some baby cougars...

You're a good
little kitty cat!

...and stares
death in the face.

Go away!

I was literally
holding my breath,

because I couldn't imagine

how he could get out
of this situation.

And even more
terrifying footage...

Go!

...that will
have you screaming...

Oh, my God!

Every year, millions of people
around the globe

have miraculous,
life-changing experiences.

They stare death
in the face...

and survive to
tell about it.

There's a psychic medium
who has a lot to say about this,

because he was left wondering

how he survived
his brush with death.

Was it sheer luck,

a miracle,

or, maybe,
guardian angels.

You be the judge.

May 30th, 2017,
in Virgil, Canada.

It's mid-afternoon,

and two old friends --
Blair Robertson

and Eddie Diijon --
both of whom are psychics --

are catching up over lunch
at Silk's Country Kitchen.

Hi, I'm Blair Robertson.

I was eating at a restaurant
when something crazy happened.

I was up in Canada on tour
doing some live events,

and while I'm on tour,

I like to visit
some of my friends

when I get the chance.

So one of my friends and I
went to our favorite place,

and I normally don't like
to have people behind me,

but my friends sat down
with his back against the wall,

so I was sitting where
I normally would never sit.

The waitress came
and gave us our meal.

I picked up my fork and knife.

I was about to bite
into my eggs Benedict,

and all of a sudden,

I hear this big, giant --

"explosion"
would be a good word.

It sounded like
a bomb going off.

Watch again in slow motion

as a car smashes through
the restaurant window...

...sending Blair flying
several feet

and pinning his friend Eddie
against the wall,

I was just looking down
at the car in disbelief.

It's like, you know,

"I'm eating
inside a restaurant,

and I've got a car
parked on my leg.

The restaurant staff and another patron

immediately rush over
to Blair and Eddie's aid.

The car had bounced when
it crashed through the window

and actually lodged my leg
underneath the the car,

but I was seated in a very, very
heavy-duty restaurant chair,

and it actually
locked me in the chair

so I was unable to fly
through the air or anything.

I probably would have
been dead had I.

And I still remember
the table flying up,

and it actually saved my friend,
because he's in his 80s.

It pushed him up
against the wall

and protected him from the glass
that was flying by.

He was injured,
but he would have been dead

if it had of been
any other way.

After what seems
like an eternity,

the car -- whose driver is
an 85-year-old woman --

reverses a few feet...

...freeing the two men
from their pinned positions.

Amazingly, both Blair and Eddie
gather themselves

and begin walking around --

dazed, but somehow,
seemingly okay.

"OMG" doesn't even begin
to cover this video clip

that we're seeing here.

I had to actually stop
and replay it several times,

because this could have been
so much worse.

The most remarkable part
of that footage

was seeing Blair's neck
snap back,

which, classically,
we call whiplash,

which can cause
permanent damage.

You could all say
it's a miracle

that he was able to get up
and walk around after that.

Blair and Eddie
are taken by ambulance

to the emergency room,

where doctors are amazed
at what they see --

or rather, what they don't see.

They insisted
that I had broken ribs,

that I must have had
a damaged neck --

all of that.

They X-rayed me,
and nothing.

No damage to my neck,
no broken pieces -- nothing.

Bruised like you
can't believe.

From my neck
down to my ankles,

bruises and blood everywhere.

But all the cuts were micro,

and they said,
"You can go home."

Eddie was also
relatively unharmed,

as was the driver.

The fact that
they both walk away

with minor aches
and pains --

it's just sort of begging
for explanation.

Like, "Is there
a guardian angel here?

Is someone watching over them?"

Funny you should ask.

I remember looking up
and then straight ahead

when it crashed
through the window...

...and I actually saw
two guardian angels

and my father
standing between them.

He's deceased...

but I knew it was him,

and his calmness,
in some weird way,

gave me calm
in that moment.

I think it's
entirely possible

that when you're essentially
staring death in the face,

that there is
some force at work --

something bigger than you

ready to protect you

or kind of remove you
from danger.

I believe that
my father was just there

to give me comfort
during that traumatic moment.

It was a beautiful thing.

Really, truly
a paranormal experience.

But there is one question

that begs an answer --

if Blair and Eddie are psychics,

why didn't they see this coming?

It's a huge misconception

that psychics, you know,
see the future.

Our life paths are not
meant to be defined

so that we know every next step
that's happening to us.

Obviously, I could literally
say to you,

"I should have died
this morning,

so I stayed home."

And because I stayed home,
now I can't prove

that I almost died
this morning, right?

When you flip the script around,

it's like, "That doesn't
make any sense, either," right?

So you have to go through
these things to experience them,

and karma's a weird,
strange thing.

It'll teach you a lesson.

Looking back, it's terrifying.

I have a hard time
watching that video,

but the reality is,
is that it made me value

and appreciate
what I do as a healer,

and it gave me
a greater gravity

to every day as a blessing.

And I love my life,

and I love the calling
that I have.

Coming up,

how could anyone
survive this?

BLAKE:!

Go!

Skydiving...

Possibly one of
the most visceral,

thrilling activities

a human being
can ever experience.

And it's no wonder --

you're thousands of feet
in the air...

...free-falling
at 120 miles per hour...

...with nothing more than
a large swath of silky material

to slow you down.

And yet, despite
the obvious risks --

a malfunctioning parachute...

...a mid-air collision with another skydiver...

...the mortality rate

is, amazingly,
under 1 in 100,000.

But, of course, there are those
less obvious risks

that no one could
see coming.

Like the time
two planes over the Midwest

collided at 12,000 feet...

BLAKE:!

...sending nine skydivers

and the burning wreckage
of a plane

tumbling toward the Earth.

November 2nd, 2013.

In the skies
above Superior, Wisconsin...

Mike Robinson,
Amy Ebling,

and seven others who all work
at Skydive Superior

are going for one final jump
at the end of the day.

But this isn't
just any jump.

For this run,

the group is planning
a formation dive.

Hi, my name's Mike Robinson.

I'm a skydiving instructor.

Hi, my name is Amy Ebling,

and I am one of the skydivers

in the insane footage
that you're going to see.

We had nine skydivers

and two pilots
in two different airplanes,

and we had a lead plane
and a trail plane.

And your lead plane is
going to be forward

and slightly to the right

and just a little bit
below the chase plane.

Chase plane is going to be back
and above to the left.

And the jumpers
inside those planes

are going to time the exit

to be able to come together
and make one skydive.

When they reach 12,000 feet,

the skydivers in both planes
prepare to jump.

Mike is in the lead,
or lower, plane.

I was the last jumper
on the lead plane to leave,

and I was just to the doorway
of the airplane,

and I was halfway in
and halfway out.

Amy is in the top,
or chase, plane.

I was fourth out
of the chase plane.

Ready!

Two of my friends --
Dan and Sarah --

were already out
on the wing ready to jump,

and Trish was climbing
out of the plane.

But then...

something goes
terribly wrong.

The planes have collided,

forcing all nine skydivers
and both pilots

into a sudden free fall.

Watch again as Amy
and Michael take us

through each
terrifying moment.

It's hard to explain
how confusing it was

seeing the two planes
coming together.

I've been here before,

and that's not where
that plane should be.

Bam -- we got hit
from above.

Our wings folded up

and lit on fire right there.

I mean, just four feet
from our heads.

In the footage, you can hear
Blake, my pilot, scream, "Go!"

His guttural
scream -- "Go!" --

was like, "All right,
well, I'm not waiting.

I'm not gonna see
what happens next."

I knew I had my son
to get back to,

and I was going to fight
to get out of that plane.

Oh,!

!

BLAKE:!

Choosing to jump out of
a perfectly good airplane

has always been the thing that
I found scary about skydiving,

but being forced to leap out of
a flaming wreckage around you...

Now, that's truly terrifying.

There's already an awareness
of risk and danger,

and this just blows
that out of the water.

Mike, Amy and the others
free-fall to an altitude

safe enough
to deploy their parachutes

while trying to avoid
falling debris

and locate their friends
in the sky.

I started looking around
at the other canopies

that were in the air with me,

but I also remember
being very clear

that Dan was definitely dead.

Sarah was absolutely dead.

I mean, she was impacted by
by a plane at 100 miles an hour.

I figured that plane
must have just disintegrated

and been destroyed,

so I didn't figure that pilot
could survive the experience.

I wasn't sure that the jumpers
could have survived that.

But, incredibly...

all nine skydivers
land safely on firm ground.

Even more amazing,

both pilots also survive.

The pilot in my lead plane
bailed out.

He had an emergency parachute.

My pilot, Blake, he knew
he could at least glide

and make one shot at landing.

How the hell can he
fly that airplane?

Hang in there, Blake.

And Blake made what he will
even admit to be, like,

his best landing ever.

Come on, Blake, you got it!

Come on!

Oh, God!

And so,
"The Miracle 11"...

as the media
later dubbed them...

cheated death that day.

You would expect one,
two, three people

could have been easily
killed in this crash,

but the fact that
we all survived

and the fact that nobody
was seriously injured

and nobody on the ground was
hurt, it's just beyond belief.

I'm not
particularly religious.

I can't say that it was
faith or divinity.

I -- It was badass.

Go!

Coming up,
man versus cougar.

You're a scary
kitty cat.

Guess who wins?

No!

Man...

The land animal
who some people might think

sits at the top of the
food chain here on Earth.

But those people...

would be wrong.

It's not even close.

In fact, according
to a recent study,

when it comes to
the food chain,

humans fall somewhere
between pigs...

and anchovies.

Way, way behind
the apex predators

who actually do sit
at the top --

large cats.

This hierarchy couldn't have
been more evident

than when a man in Utah came
face to face with a cougar...

Okay.

This is when
I die.

...and had nothing
but his wits...

...to protect himself.

No!

No!

October 10th, 2020,

near Provo, Utah.

It's a beautiful fall day,

and Kyle Burgess
is going for a run

on the Slate Canyon Trail.

Name is Kyle Burgess,

and I live in Orem, Utah.

I usually go on this trail
probably once every two weeks,

just depending on
kind of the feeling.

I mean, living here in Utah,

I'm super close
to a lot of different trails,

and so, I kind of just
pick and choose

which one I'm feeling
that day.

But today, Kyle's run takes an unexpected detour.

I'm kind of hustling.

I'm going at a decent pace.

I'm going downhill.

I then saw the baby cubs
in the trail,

so I pulled my phone
and kind of stopped...

'cause I really thought
they were baby bobcats.

I've seen them before,
and what happens --

Usually, they see me.
They run away.

Everything's fine.

But this time,
Kyle is mistaken.

They were not bobcats.

Oh,.
Oh,.

Oh,!

,,!

!

They were baby cougars.

Holyface!

That's when I knew I messed up.

Watch again
as a mother cougar

comes bounding
around the corner

and runs straight for Kyle.

Oh,.

Oh,.
Oh,!

Oh,!
,,!

!

I have never seen
cougars, ever...

in my life, until now.

Oh,!

No!

Get the away!

The first thing that I did was,
I honestly just started thinking

of tons of different things
in my head.

One, obviously, I was scared,

another, I was excited,

and another,
I was just like, confused.

No!

Not really thinking
of what was happening.

Go away!

Go away!
Please go away!

But then, I kind of
put two and two together

and started just kind of
calming myself down

so that I could kind of focus
on what I should be doing.

You're good.

You're good,
little kitty cat.

Hoh...

Holy...

And kind of what
I realized, obviously,

was that she wants me away
from her cubs.

Nice and slow.

Come on.

And so, my biggest concern
was to get away from the cubs

as fast as I could.

Go get your babies.

I'm not coming back down,
I promise.

Holy...

Every time I crouched
or I would even look away

just to even think about
grabbing a rock

is when she would
pounce on me.

No!

Run away!
Run away!

Kyle's been backpedaling
for minutes,

but the cougar is
only getting more aggressive.

Nope!

No!

I hike those kind of trails,

and I have always thought,
"Man, if a cougar comes at me,

I'm just gonna punch it
in the face."

No!

Get the away!

Then you see
what they look like

when they're mad,

and all thought of
running up to that cougar

and punching it
in the face goes bye-bye.

No, dude.

Dude!

Finally, after six minutes of being pursued,

Kyle is able to grab a rock

and throw it toward the cougar
before she can pounce...

Yeah, get the
away from me.

...and that's enough to scare her off.

Oh, damn it.

That was a very long
6 minutes,

the longest 6 minutes
of my life.

Yeah, so that just happened.

Wow. You see that?
I'm somewhat calm actually.

6 minutes felt like 6 years.

And I was literally
holding my breath...

No! No!

Because I couldn't imagine

how he could get out
of this situation.

Go away. Go get your babies.

Kyle handled this superbly

and calmly in a
really scary situation

where I think most people's
instincts would be to run.

I'm not gonna back down,
I promise.

Honestly one of the most
incredible videos

I've ever seen.

Oh, yeah.

Luckily, Kyle didn't see the cougar again

on his way back home.

Oh, oh,

oh

Holy

And from now on,

he'll approach his time on
the trails a little differently.

I definitely have a new
appreciation for wildlife

and that when I go
into their territory,

I got to be more cautious
of what I'm doing out there.

Go away! No!

No!

Coming up, a woman
in Georgia runs for her life.

There are a few things
more terrifying

than unexpected reminders

of how quickly
one's life can end.

A near miss by an oncoming car,

stopping yourself inches
from a terrible fall,

ducking at just
the right moment.

Now, imagine a terrifying
moment like that happening

while you're enjoying
a beautiful day

with your family
in your own backyard.

That's what happened
to one woman in Georgia

and it changed her life forever.

July 9th, 2020,
in Alpharetta, Georgia,

Melissa Resendiz and her
two sons

are in their home's backyard,

soaking in the summer sunshine
by their swimming pool.

Hi, my name is Melissa Resendiz
and this is my video.

It was a normal summer day
and it was after lunch

and my kids wanted
to swim in the pool.

So we went out to the pool
and I brought a book,

hoping to just relax
and read for a little bit

while they happily played
in the pool.

But this normal summer day was about to take a terrifying turn.

As I'm sitting there reading
my son,

my older son, in the pool was
making a whole bunch of noise.

So I told him, I said,

"Bryson, stop making all
that crazy noise."

He pops up on the edge
of the pool and he said, "what?"

'Cause he couldn't hear me.
And I said...

And then as soon as I finish
saying that, I heard a crack.

Specifically, the unmistakable crack of a tree breaking.

I just immediately got up
out of my seat and I ran.

Watch again in slow motion

as an enormous tree
falls directly onto the chair,

Melissa was just relaxing
on less than a second earlier.

I turned around and I saw
that tree

directly on the chair
that I was sitting on.

I was in shock.

I mean, it was just right

where I was sitting,
right where my head was.

The first thought through my
head which I said out loud, was,

I almost died.
like I came so close to it.

It was really disturbing.

And I was really shaken up

afterwards in shock
and just disbelief.

Wow.
Reaction time really matters.

Oh, my God.

How lucky is this woman
that she survived this?

She would have been flattened
like a pancake.

When you see the photo
of the fallen tree

and it's dented the metal gate

and it's landed right
where she was sitting,

that's when my heart stopped
'cause I was like,

oh, she absolutely
would not have survived that.

Where she was sitting,
I mean,

that would have been potentially
a fatal head trauma,

a fatal chest trauma,
blunt trauma,

and would have been life ending.

So, how did Melissa escape

what surely would have been
a death blow?

Sheer luck? Or maybe
something else?

About 7 years ago, we were
living in a different house

and it was early morning.

I was getting my kids
up in the morning

and there was
a strong gust of wind

that just started blowing and
the whole house started shaking.

And I just felt like
"What is happening?"

So I scooped my kids up

and we were heading downstairs
to go to our safe place

because I felt like,
is this a tornado? What is this?

And as we were coming down
the stairs,

I heard the crack of a tree

and a tree fell directly
onto the roof of the house.

That sound of a tree
falling was like ingrained

in my head from that moment.

One of the interesting things
that psychologists look at

is the way that trauma actually

physically changes
the structure of the brain.

And perhaps that traumatic
experience

actually changed her brain
and primed it

so she was prepared to respond
to another traumatic incident

that's very similar
in a very rapid way.

Looking back on that first tree,
it's like, why did that happen?

And then you fast forward
7 years to this moment

and it kind of puts it
into perspective,

like maybe God just
had a reason

for that first tree, you know?

So that I would have that sound
in my head

so that I would get up
and I would move

when I heard this,
the second tree falling.

I definitely understand
why Melissa felt

like the hand of God
was at work,

either that God kind of got her
out of that chair or, you know,

that she felt something
strong enough to react.

I don't think God's
micromanaging things,

but I do think at moments
when something's at stake

that God can move us to act.

Whatever the reason,
Melissa is just grateful

to have come out
of this experience unscathed.

And with a new perspective.

Just imagining

what my children
would have experienced

if I had not gotten out
of that chair,

like they would have watched me
get crushed

and that would have been
an experience

that would have ruined them
for their entire life,

like they would never be
the same after that.

So I'm just so grateful.

Coming up, a fishing trip...

Hey!

...turns into a nightmare.

Hey! Oh my God!

Taking your boat out to the middle of the water

to do some fishing can be
a pretty spectacular experience,

especially if you're able
to share it with friends.

After all, you're far away
from the stresses of daily life,

taking part in one of the oldest
sports known to mankind.

With no one else around you
as far as the eye can see...

...well, usually no one
else around you.

Because there was one
fishing party in Oregon

that did spot a boat
far off in the distance

that kept getting closer...

Hey!

...and closer...

Hey!

...and...

August 12th, 2017, at the mouth

of the Columbia River
near Hammond, Oregon.

Chris McMahon and two friends,
Ronnie and Brian,

are on Chris's boat enjoying
a relaxing morning of fishing.

Hi, my name is Chris McMahon,
and this is my video.

We typically take
a two week vacation

and go salmon fishing down at
the mouth of the Columbia River.

It was the first day
and I invited Ronnie and Brian

to come down and fish with me.

And it was kind of
like the first deep breath,

You know, when you get
settled in for vacation,

you know,
the first deep breath

getting ready to enjoy
a couple of weeks off

and good times and fishing.

And for two and a half hours,

that's exactly what it is.

You're doing a great job, bud.
You're doing a great job.

We just caught a fish,Brian did.

and we had got to the end
of the section

that we were fishing
with the current,

and we decided that we were
gonna run back up

to the top end again
and go through that same spot.

So that's what we did.

But the trio's relaxing morning...

...suddenly becomes a nightmare

when a boat appears
in the distance.

Hey! Hey!

Hey!

Watch again as Chris takes us
through each terrifying moment.

When you see a boat coming
your direction at a distance,

you don't even
really think much of it.

Hey!

And then you realize, hey,
this thing's getting closer.

Hey!

I hop up on the transom
of the boat,

which is the back of the boat,
to get a higher profile.

Hey!

And that's when I realized there
was nobody looking back at me.

This is a horrific video.

I mean, my God,
this is like the worst thing

that could ever happen
to you on the water.

The disbelief is palpable
in this.

Hey!

There's no way.
That boat's gonna turn.

Hey!

There's no way, no,
there's no way,

there's no way that boat's
gonna keep going.

What floored me about this

was I think
there would have been denial,

there would have been like,
wait, what?

Why would a boat
come towards us?

This makes no sense.

But he committed and said,

we're off this thing --
into this cold water,

all of us in our clothes,
with our fishing rods go now.

And the fact that he did
that saved everybody's lives,

that blew me away 'cause most
people would have hesitated.

And even after Chris narrowly avoids death by boat crash,

the worst is yet to come.

I popped up and I seen
his boat on top of mine.

I had no idea
where Ronnie and Brian were.

And then they popped up
shortly after me.

I always had heard, if you're
in the water, don't panic,

because when you panic,
that's when you lose it.

And I looked over at the bank
and when I looked at the bank

and saw how fast we were getting
pushed out to the ocean,

That's when I started to lose
my stuff.

My mind started going in
a bad way of "this could be it,

this could be
the end of things for me.

I'm not gonna see
my family again.

I'm not gonna see
my wife again.

And that was
that was tough.

And you got to
really reel it in

and that's what I tried to do.

Fortunately, Chris,
Ronnie, and Brian

were all able to reel it in,

long enough
to be rescued by another boat.

The fact that they were able
to stay calm,

I do believe saved their life.

Chris later learns that the
driver of the boat that hit them

set, a course, sat down, and was
not able to see Chris' boat.

But he's just grateful
that they all survived

what could have been
a tragic situation,

the fact that all three of us
were faced with the decision

and we all came out of it
to live another day is amazing.

I mean, just for that alone,

because for it to go right
for all of us is a miracle.

Hey!

Oh, my God!

Coming up, the down side to back country skiing.

For the adventurous athlete,

there's nothing quite like
backcountry skiing.

Far from the designated trails,

backcountry skiing allows you
to blaze your own path

through a fresh layer of powder
with no rules to rein you in.

But of course, it does come
with its share of risks.

And as one man skiing
in the back country of Utah

recently discovered,
some of these risks are deadly.

January, 2017,
near Lindon, Utah,

Devin Stratton and his friend
Matt are back country skiing

down Mount Timpanogos
for the very first time.

My name is Devin Stratton
and this is my video.

We had planned to ski
from the summit of Timpanogos,

conditions were perfect,

and there was obviously
lots of perfect powder.

We followed all the safety
protocols and kind of took turns

going back and forth
watching each other.

Devin records his journey
down the mountain

with a new helmet cam

that his sister gave him
for Christmas,

and as he gets closer
to the bottom,

he feels more
and more adrenaline.

I just had the best day
of skiing in my life

and I just let my guard down
and just got so excited

I just was going for it and not
paying close enough attention.

And Devin's lack of attention is
about to catch him by surprise.

Whoa!

Watch again in slow motion.

As Devin plummets off
a 150 foot cliff

and lands directly on his back.

Just this sinking feeling in my
stomach like, well, I'm dead.

Whoa!

But miraculously,
Devin is just fine, thank you.

When I heard the young man say, thank you, I was moved.

I really believed that he was
thanking,

you know, not himself,
not looking in the camera

and saying, you're wonderful,
but thank you, God.

Thank you.

It was a miracle
that I survived it I think.

In my head,
I thought I was for sure dead.

Whoa!

But I think I slowly started to
move.

My head hurts a little
and my ribs in the back.

I think I'm good.

I realized
my neck wasn't broken,

but I was just shocked.

As he should have been,

because, let's face it,
how is Devin not dead?

The fact that he went head
over heels,

landed on his back
means a couple of things.

It means that his jacket
and his skis

were acting
as a bit of a drag on his fall

so might have slowed
his fall slightly,

kind of like a parachute.

And the fact that he's landing
on powder

as opposed
to something packed hard

were suddenly your speed
goes to zero

and all your organs squash.

That powder probably saved him
from severe injury or death.

Or if you ask Devin...

Thank you.

There may have been
something else

or someone else
helping him out that day.

My younger sister, Rachel,

she got diagnosed
with terminal brain cancer

when I believe she was 17.

They gave her 6
to 9 months to live.

She made it just over
3 years, actually.

So she did really well.

She did an early Christmas
for all of us

where she had bought us things
and she bought me that GoPro.

Thank you.

And yeah, I feel like maybe
she was she helped me out,

I don't know.

Can't be for sure but it was
pretty cool,

like first time
I used that GoPro

something like that happened.

When he thinks about his sister
already having passed on,

being there to watch over him,
to make sure that he is safe,

that his parents
don't lose two kids,

I think that's really
incredibly significant.

I think at the end of the day, when people pass on

and if you're close
to those members,

those spirits will live
vicariously through you.

So I think they want to have him
continue to ski and be happy.

If that's the case, it worked,

because Devin was back
on the slopes the next day,

fully aware of just
how fortunate he was.

A mistake that big,
a drop that big,

it probably should have
cost me my life.

And so I can't say for sure

But in my mind,
it was definitely a miracle.

Whoa!
