Next onParanormal Caught on Camera.

- A caretaker of a haunted theater is surrounded... - What is that?

...by spirits.

I get chills when I think about it

'cause it made me start thinking,

like, "Oh, I'm being watched!"

A harrowing UFO encounter...

Dude, what is this? What am I witnessing here?

...in Death Valley.

It just didn't feel right.

It didn't feel normal to me.

A ghost reaches out

and touches an investigator in Wales.

When I first saw this hand stroking my face,

I was like, "Oh my God, I gotta watch it again.

I gotta watch it again."

A shadow figure strikes fear... -

...in a college student in Pennsylvania.

Oh my God!

I just remember feeling the color

just draining from my face.

And even more paranormal footage

you have to see to believe.

Theaters are notoriously haunted.

The Pasadena Playhouse in California is no exception.

It was established in 1917 by Gilmor Brown

and was the only theater in California

to have survived the Depression.

Needless to say, many souls have passed

through this building,

and it's now believed to be haunted by Gilmor

and any number of other spirits

who have decided to make the Playhouse

their final resting place.

Like this one, hanging out in the stage window.

Pasadena, California.

Bailey Burcham is the caretaker

of The Pasadena Playhouse and often works at night.

Alone.

When he was hired in January, 2020,

Bailey was warned that he might encounter

some unexplained things inside the theater.

And sure enough, it's not long

before he starts hearing disembodied singing.

Whistling.

And clapping.

And feels as though he's not alone.

So, he decides to try to capture some of the activity

on camera to share with others on social media.

August 13, 2020.

Bailey hears some music coming from the main stage,

so he goes to check it out.

All right, guys, I work at this old theater

and I've been hearing a noise.

There's not supposed to be anybody here,

so I'm just double-checking,

but I wanted to film it just in case.

My name is Bailey and these are my videos.

I go into the main stage and the music

isn't playing anymore. And as I was walking through,

I heard in... It's actually called a "Juliet window."

You'd put an actress up there to maybe do a monologue

or a song or something.

And when I looked up there, it looked like a curtain moved.

And you can't really see it in the video, that happening,

but I'm sort of like, "Oh, what's going on?

Let me get a better look."

What the?

What is that?

Did you see it? Watch again.

As a face can be seen looking out from the window.

I look up and all I saw was the face.

And I think I used an expletive and just ran.

This figure in the balcony is incredibly striking

because even though it is shrouded by shadow,

there's definition to it and it looks tangible,

as if an audience member is just up there

waiting for the curtain to rise and the show to begin.

Another night, Bailey goes to check on

the theater after a fire alarm is triggered.

Hi, guys. So, I'm here late at night

checking in on this place.

Got here. There wasn't anybody here,

but I just heard the piano in the small space,

so I think there might be somebody there.

I went in and a door was open.

And I was like, "That's not good."

So, I started kind of searching the space.

Someone in here? Hello?

The theater's piano just played on its own.

Who is it?

And the ghost light shuts off on its own.

And then I hear the piano in the dark.

That was another time where I was like, "I don't care.

That's scary. I don't like it."

We know that spirits are drawn to things

that can be manipulated and are likely to get noticed.

A piano is really perfect

because what does a piano have?

88 keys.

And those keys don't take too much effort to press down

and there's a lot of reward there

because it's gonna make a really noticeable noise,

especially in a wide-open and empty theater.

But perhaps the creepiest capture

happens when Bailey is doing a virtual tour

of the theater for his viewers on social media.

Hey, so I'm here in the empty theater.

It's backstage. Can't see it very well, but...

Holy!

Did you see that?

Watch again.

As a shadowed figure seems to peek out

from around the corner.

I get chills when I think about it

because it makes me start thinking like,

"Oh, I'm being watched."

My immediate thought was that perhaps

this is the ghost of a performer

that's taking a look around the curtain

to see how the crowd looks tonight.

Could be.

But what about all the other occurrences?

Is it just one? Or could there be many?

I think the space is inhabited by the spirits

of people who loved and lived in theater in this place.

I've always felt like I'm sort of being watched in,

like, a good way, like they're taking care

of me or something.

It just so happens that sometimes

they take human form and that gets scary.

And despite being frequently freaked out,

Bailey wouldn't have it any other way.

I just love that I get to be the person

taking care of this sacred space,

because it is a sacred space for a lot of us artists.

And probably for the spirits, if they are there, right?

So I feel responsibility for this place.

I feel a deep love for this space

and anything inhabiting it.

Someone in here? Hello?

Coming up...

A drive through Death Valley turns terrifying.

Dude, what is this? What am I witnessing here?

Death Valley.

This vast, dry desert is the hottest place on Earth.

And got its name after prospectors died

trying to cross it during the gold rush of 1848.

But besides its brutal history,

high temps and harsh terrain,

could there be something else to fear in Death Valley?

That seemed to be the case when two friends

driving through it spotted something

they likely weren't supposed to see.

Dude, what is this? What am I witnessing here?

April, 2020.

Death Valley, California.

Steven Shinn and his friend Joey McCormack

are driving from Las Vegas to Los Angeles.

They decide to pull over on the side of the road

to stretch their legs and take in the scenery.

Then, as the sun is setting,

something in the sky catches their attention.

It's a large, bright light

hovering just above a mountain,

and they're stunned.

We're in Death Valley right now, okay?

The sun just went down. And we saw this light...

I'm speechless right now.

My name is Steven and this is my video.

There it is. It's right there.

It's right there. There it is. It's on camera.

I looked over. I saw this light

and I said, "What is that?"

And that's when it starts pulling apart.

And I was like, "This is not normal. This is crazy."

This light keeps going up and down.

It keeps splitting into multiple lights.

It was one big light.

One very bright light and it split.

And then when that split, the bottom split.

It split into like two, then it split into like four.

Dude, what is this? What is this, dude?

The other one just disappeared. What am I witnessing here?

It just didn't feel right. It didn't feel normal to me.

Even more odd

is what happens 15 minutes later.

They lined up perfectly in a row.

And then a red light came from all the way over

to the left side of our screen

and went across all the white ones,

which was really weird 'cause that one came out of nowhere,

that wasn't even part of the original lights.

Dude, can you guys see this?

Steven and Joey drive up the road

a bit farther.

And then, something happens off-camera that is terrifying.

You couldn't see it in the video,

but from the naked eye, you could see this light

was coming at us across the desert.

We were just like, "Let's get out of here."

But Steven and Joey don't get off that easy.

Because, whatever it is, appears to be following them.

I don't know if I disrupted something or...

but it started coming towards us, the original light,

and it was really scary actually at the time.

Dude, this is not normal.

Whatever this is, it's not normal.

I wanted to leave, but I couldn't look away,

like, I wanted to get it on camera.

It's right there, still coming towards us.

That one's over there. One's there. But what's that?

That's the question. What is that?

Yes, exactly. What is that?

At first it seems like we're looking

at a singular light,

but then multiple other objects break off from that,

and then later maneuver around one another.

There is certainly some sort of intelligence at play here

and this is not a naturally occurring phenomenon.

They're sort of changing color

and changing alignment.

And then, at one point, they actually get

into a completely straight line

that's horizontal to the landscape.

This seems to be a coordinated effort

as if there's some sort of intelligence behind them.

Dude, this is not normal.

Whatever it is, seems to be something not of this earth.

If these UFOS are, in fact, not of this earth,

what are they doing?

It's almost as if they might be searching

for something.

They seem to be covering a lot of ground

and it almost seems like, whatever these things are,

they noticed the guys filming and kinda headed that way.

It's right there. Still coming towards us.

If this is alien activity, you know,

who's to say what they could be doing?

They might be doing something as simple

as exactly what Steven and his friend are doing,

watching them, and trying to learn from them,

and making a video of them, and going to their friends,

"Look how cool these crazy things we caught."

Whatever these objects are up to,

Steven and Joey don't stick around long enough

to get an answer.

I can't really blame them, because,

I mean, when you consider what the possibilities are,

the best case scenario is maybe they've stumbled upon

this military experiment that's going on

and they're gonna get arrested.

The worst case scenario is this is an extraterrestrial

that's gonna beam them up and probe them.

Whatever they stumbled upon that night

in Death Valley remains a mystery.

But Steven is hoping to one day find out.

It definitely may be more of a believer

than what I was before.

I mean, I've always seen videos of UFOs,

I always said they might be real, they might be fake.

I never experienced it.

I definitely think there's something there, though.

We saw it. I mean...

You can believe what you want.

You can think it's not real. I think it was a UFO.

Whatever this is, it's not normal.

Coming up...

a young woman in Pennsylvania is tormented by a ghost.

Finding a short-term rental

is a great way to buy some time

when you have to find a new place to live

on very short notice.

But be careful, because even though you may have found

what seems like the perfect temporary living situation,

there could be some who might not like it so much.

Specifically, the ghosts who haunt the home.

That's what seemed to happen to a college student

in Pennsylvania.

When her dream sublet, quickly...

Daisy. Honey, what's down there?

...turned into a nightmare.

Oh my God!

It's March, 2020.

In California, Pennsylvania.

College student Kimberly Rhoades

has to find an off-campus apartment to live in quickly.

So, when one of her professors

says that she can rent her place while she looks,

it's an offer she and her dog Daisy can't refuse.

Come on.

But as soon as she moves in,

something feels off.

My name is Kimberly Rhoades

and I live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

I did feel something immediately whenever I moved in.

It was just a very heavy, weird kind of vibe.

Not a pleasant one.

She was able to ignore the weird vibe

at first,

but then, strange, unexplained activity

begins to happen.

I would hear footsteps on the steps all the time.

All the time.

We did take into account that it was an old house.

It could be settling, you know,

but this was, like, different.

I felt uneasy all the time.

I felt like I was constantly looking over my shoulder.

One night before bed,

Kimberly hears some noises coming from downstairs.

So, she grabs her phone and goes to find out what it is.

Daisy is also down there right now

and there's no way she can make that knocking sound.

Oh my Gosh. Okay. Okay.

Daisy. Honey, what's down there?

Oh my God. I don't see it.

Oh my God!

Did you catch that?

Watch again as a menacing, dark figure

stands at the bottom of the stairs, then steps away.

Oh my God.

It took me a second for my eyes to adjust,

and then once I did, and then I saw it move, I was just like...

I just remember feeling the color just draining

from my face. I was just like,

"I did not just experience that."

What I saw at the bottom of the stairs

was so very obviously a torso and legs.

And at first, I couldn't really make it out

until it moved out of frame.

I'm in the living room right now.

I'm in the living room right now. -

Daisy, stop. It's okay. It's okay.

I actually think it's even creepier

that she captured the shadow very casually

walking around her house.

To me, it almost feels like a display of power.

It's saying, "Look, I don't care whether or not

you're looking at me, filming me, whatever you're doing.

This is my home and I'm just going about my day."

Whatever you are, you need to leave now. Now!

But whatever it is,

doesn't obey Kimberly's command.

Because just a short while later...

I was making macaroni and cheese,

and so I got this block cheese out and I started cutting it.

I turned around for one second, okay?

To go to the sink. I turned back around and it's gone.

The cheese vanished. Literally.

And Daisy didn't take it.

I didn't do it, didn't drop it, I would've heard it.

It's an eight ounce brick of cheese,

I would've heard it drop, okay?

Apports and asports.

These are when things appear and disappear

allegedly through spirit interaction.

Now, when something is an asport, it is taken away.

And it's either materialized

or dematerialized from one point to another.

Sometimes these things reportedly never reappear.

But this time, it does reappear.

A week later.

I'm doing dishes and putting stuff away.

I open a drawer and it's right there.

What do I see sitting right on top?

This open, molded block of cheese.

I'd looked in that same drawer

and I'd been in that drawer from the time

that that had happened and it wasn't there.

It's just, like, now this energy is messing with her.

It's playing with her.

It's trying to frustrate her.

And I mean, it's kind of like

a bully-big-brother-type energy.

I must admit, this might be the first time

I've heard of a haunting involving cheese.

Whatever this cheddar stealing ghost is up to,

he's pretty sharp.

Kimberly has no idea who

or what the entity was.

Or why it seemed to be messing with her

during her stay and neither does her professor.

I told her some things that are happening,

and she was just like, "Oh, okay."

She's like, "That's weird." And I was like, "Yeah."

She and Daisy ended up finding a place

of their own soon after the cheese incident.

And as terrifying as it was...

...she's grateful for the experience.

It was very just surreal.

And what's weird is I strangely miss that place.

And I'm very thankful to my professor

for letting me stay there for the time being.

It was definitely an experience

that I will forever take with me

and I will never forget and I will probably tell my kids.

Oh my God!

Coming up...

A live streaming webcam captures images

of the Loch Ness monster.

Usually, when you see footage

of a cryptid in the wild,

it is short, shaky and a little hard to make out,

which is of course understandable.

Most of these videos are captured by people

who are taken by surprise,

and overwhelmed with fear and adrenaline.

So, wouldn't it be great if someone set up a fixed camera

in a certain hotspot that shot 24/7

and streamed around the world,

so that anyone, anywhere,

could take a look and make that once-in-a-lifetime

sighting from the comfort of their own home?

Well, thanks to one man in Scotland, they can,

and it just so happens

to be in one of the most cryptid hotspots

in the world.

Loch Ness.

Highlands of Scotland.

Computer programmer and Loch Ness researcher,

Mikko Takala,

has had a fascination with the mythical monster

known as Nessie ever since he was a small child.

And that fascination paid off

when he finally managed to spot the cryptid in 2003.

I'm Mikko Takala and I'm from Loch Ness, Scotland.

I saw this thing out in the water.

I'm completely on my own and I just stood watching it

for about 15 minutes, slowly swimming against the current.

And I've never forgotten it.

It was really the most spectacular thing,

and that completely confirmed for me

that there's something out there

that people haven't explained yet.

But years before he saw it with his own eyes,

Mikko was already doing everything in his power

to enable others to try to catch a glimpse of Nessie.

In 1994, he set up one of the world's

very first webcams on his friend's property

with a panoramic view of Loch Ness,

which has been running continuously

for nearly 30 years.

Enthusiasts from around the globe

can keep a keen eye out for any signs

of the prehistoric beast lurking on the live feed.

And suffice it to say,

there have been some compelling sightings,

especially recently.

March 17, 2021.

Kalynn Wangle from Oregon

spots something on Mikko's webcam.

Watch as a large, dark shape

breaks the surface of the water.

Then, slowly makes its way away from shore.

Within two minutes it disappears behind the tree

and is gone.

I think it's fairly clear that

it's not just an upturned boat or something.

It seems to have a couple of distinctive

characteristics about it.

It doesn't look like anything that we could say,

"That is a deer or that is a seal."

It's definitely something that we can't quite explain.

The fact that it moves the way that it does,

it definitely suggests that there is a large mass

underneath the surface of the water.

If it's not the Loch Ness monster,

I don't know what it is because I can't imagine

that there is any aquatic life in that loch

big enough to disturb the lake the way this thing is.

It kinda fades out and it makes its way

behind a tree.

And that's where it gets interesting,

you don't see it come out from behind that tree.

It's almost as if it surfaced below and simply swam away.

I know we love it when we get amazing shots

of a potential Loch Ness monster with a long,

serpentine neck rising up out of the water.

But there's something to be said

for the quiet mundanity of just a dark shape

moving under the surface of the water.

It doesn't need to be big, over-the-top evidence

for it to be really, really compelling.

Another recent appearance

was spotted by Eoin O'Faodhagain from Donegal, Ireland,

on January, 22nd, 2021,

and seems to suggest something even more mind-blowing.

Watch closely as two large dark objects

about a hundred feet apart from each other

seem to be splashing around.

Then, the right object submerges beneath the water,

and the one on the left almost playfully

does the same.

This incredible activity continues back and forth

for three minutes.

Could it be that there are two?

If there are two creatures,

all sorts of possibilities spring to mind.

Are they a breeding couple

or is it some other part of a family?

And if there are two, then certainly

why not three, four, five?

There's no reason for it to be limited to two.

So it's quite exciting.

This really does lead to the question of

are we talking about one, long-lived lake monster

or are we talking about a population

of water-based cryptids

that people have been photographing

generations of over time?

Well, with reports of 30,000 enthusiasts

tracking the site each month,

there's bound to be even more evidence to come

that's difficult to explain away.

I think people want to believe

that there is something that we don't fully understand.

And then I think it's this whole notion

of a kind of mystery, an unsolved mystery

of how ever much science there is, of how clever people are,

there's still something that is unexplained

and perhaps always will be,

although not for want of trying, I can assure you.

Coming up...

A family in Mexico is haunted by a dark apparition.

There are many who believe

that when we die our spirits simply transition

to the afterlife.

But knowing how to cross over isn't a given,

especially for those who die unexpectedly.

Those souls can sometimes be trapped between two worlds,

refusing to accept their own demise.

Sometimes even sending terrifying signals

to their Earth-bound loved ones.

A man in Mexico might have caught proof of this

after a close relative's untimely death.

November, 2020. In San Diego, California.

Roberto Morales has just received some terrible news.

His older brother, Javier, who lived in Tijuana, Mexico,

had just taken his own life.

Roberto and his family are understandably devastated.

My name is Roberto Morales and this is my video.

About two months after Javier is laid to rest,

Roberto is visiting his family in Mexico

when something truly bizarre happens.

And what happened was this.

Watch closely.

Did you see it?

Watch again

as a human-shaped shadow-like figure

suddenly appears in between the two vehicles.

This was really freaky.

We're seeing the trees, we're seeing the trucks,

we're seeing the people,

and then there's this figure that by all accounts

should look the same as those things,

but it doesn't.

It's dark and shadowed and passes by and then...

disappears.

Roberto doesn't notice anything

out of the ordinary at the time

until later that same day when he watches the video.

And it gets even weirder.

When Roberto takes some screenshots of the video,

and focuses in on the shadow figure,

it seems to take on the appearance of a human face.

If you look closely, you can almost see

what appears to be eyes, nose and a mouth,

with kind of like a sad expression on the face.

It's extra creepy for me to see

that type of image multiple times

because it makes me feel like that's how spirits

appear in photography.

Once Roberto gets over his initial shock,

he's convinced that this is no random

paranormal encounter.

This realization, and an overall feeling

of bad energy,

lead the family to believe that Javier's spirit

is not in fact at peace.

When a life is taken too soon,

there seems to be an imprint, and that soul, that spirit,

is almost locked in the place where it was last.

Hoping to get Javier to rest in peace,

the family calls a priest to their home.

When people decide to bring in

religious authorities to a situation like this,

it's usually because they feel the situation

is above their pay grade somehow.

And whether dealing with it takes the form of banishment,

or what we might understand as exorcism,

or whether it takes a gentler form of blessing

or guidance is really dependent on the context,

and the emotions and attitudes of the people involved.

And although Roberto continues to grieve

the loss of his older brother,

he's thankful that he is finally at peace.

I think whether you're a skeptic

or a believer,

everybody wants to feel like there is some sort of proof

of an afterlife of spirits,

so when you have a video as compelling as this,

it might turn some people into believers.

Coming up...

What creature touched this woman's face in Wales?

When investigators try to make contact

with spirits,

there are times when an entity

will make it very clear that they are present.

But often, ghost hunters have to sift

through hours of footage after the fact

to see if they may have missed

any subtle signs of activity during their investigation.

That's what happened to one woman in the United Kingdom,

and after reviewing her footage,

she discovered that she'd accidentally

captured a terrifying disembodied hand

stroking her face.

August, 2020.

Wales.

Natalie Benns enters an abandoned

senior care facility

to embark on an investigation.

Though not her first

paranormal investigation,

Natalie is relatively new to the field.

My name is Natalie and this is my video.

What we thought was, with a nursing home,

because it was elderly people,

um, mostly spending the last days of their life there,

there was probably going to be a high chance

that it would be haunted.

And sure enough, just a short while

into the investigation,

Natalie spots something that although subtle,

she feels could be evidence of paranormal activity.

Natalie is encouraged by the movement,

but unfortunately,

the investigation doesn't offer up much else.

That is until she gets home.

I put the video up on my channel.

I thought nothing of it.

And somebody else who is a paranormal investigator

was analyzing it and they said, "Oh my God."

They phoned me and they sounded like...

"Natalie, Natalie."

And I said, "What?" And he said...

So, Natalie rewatches the moment

right before she saw the hangers move,

when the camera is pointing towards a glass pane

on the floor.

Watch closely.

Zoomed in and in slow motion.

Did you see it?

Watch again.

First, a ghostly face can be seen for an instant.

Then, when Natalie's reflection appears,

we see a hand that doesn't belong to her

seemingly stroking her face.

That was really, really freaky

because we get a clear image of her reflection.

She clearly does not know what's happening.

And there's just very obviously a large,

dark hand, clearly not her own,

that just is attempting to sort of stroke her face.

Is this spirit reaching out to this person in affection?

Is it reaching out to her

to do something more nefarious to her?

Is it trying to grab her?

We don't know, but what we can all agree upon

is that there's something in this picture.

There's something there with her.

There's something there, all right.

And Natalie has her own thoughts about its intentions.

It's almost like a caress. It doesn't seem vicious.

Although, if you really look, it looks like a hand

that kind of morphs into a claw.

It doesn't look like a human hand.

That's what's so creepy about it.

Any time someone you don't know

strokes your cheek,

that's really weird and uncomfortable,

so even if this entity had good intentions,

it's still just really weird and creepy.

Definitely creepy.

Whatever this thing was, and as disturbing as it seemed,

Natalie was thrilled to have gotten it on camera.

And it only solidifies her commitment

to doing more investigations in the future.

It did have an effect on me.

It made me even more excited to discover

what else I can find and catch on camera.

It's kind of like a challenge now.

Can I beat that footage?

What should you do in an event

you witness something paranormal?

Here are some tips to get it all on camera.

Trust that what you're seeing really is otherworldly.

What am I witnessing here?

Check your footage for anything unusual.

Never stop filming, even if you're scared.

And if you do catch something,

email us at submitparanormal@gmail.com

or connect with us on social media.

Your footage could be seen right here
