Next, onParanormal Caught on Camera...

A teenage ghost hunter in the Czech Republic...

Oh, my God. Did you see that?

...is pursued...

No!

...by a shadow figure.

That was really scary because I clearly didn't know

something was following me.

A shopper in Connecticut

gets photobombed by a ghost.

I had zero sense that she was even there, next to me,

which makes it a little creepier.

What nightmare...

...is climbing into this attic in England?

I thought, "I'm not getting out of here alive."

Is this fireball in the sky...

What the is that?

...a UFO in disguise?

I felt this bizarre connection,

and you can see this thing go boom-boom.

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

to believe.

Dolls.

Pharaohs were buried with them.

They've been used to cast spells.

And today,

kids everywhere play with them.

So, with centuries of humans creating, handling,

and transferring their energies into dolls...

is it any wonder they are among

the most haunted objects ever reported?

Just ask this paranormal investigator in Mexico,

who stumbled across a doll that isn't just haunted...

...it's demonic.

May 2021.

Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico.

It's 2:00 in the morning.

Eduardo Escalante and his friend, Osvaldo,

are investigating a public cemetery,

one of the oldest in their state.

I am Eduardo Escalante,

and I am the one who recorded this video.

Specifically, activity surrounding a large doll...

...which local lore says

stands guard over the grave of a young girl.

And it doesn't take long

for strange things to start happening around that doll.

Did you see that?

Watch again as the door to the tomb where the doll is...

opens.

Eduardo takes the opportunity

to try to communicate with the doll.

And as Eduardo is about to discover,

his fear is well-founded.

Watch closely.

Watch again

in slow motion

as the plastic head of the child-sized doll

turns to Eduardo and seems to grin.

When that doll, that inanimate object

turned its head as if to look at the person that is there,

visiting and filming it,

it is a real horror show.

I was so freaked out by this clip, I hated it.

I mean, I was really trying to logic my way

out of this one being as creepy as it was,

and I ended up, I think, having a very similar reaction

to the people filming it,

which was, "Oh, my God, get me out of here."

It's not the legs that you see in the doll moving,

it's the whole upper body.

The shoulders, the neck, and the head.

I grew up not really liking dolls.

They've always creeped me out.

I would play with them during the daytime,

but then I'd have to shove them away

in my closet at night because I just didn't like

the way they looked in the dark.

Neither does Eduardo.

But as terrified as he is,

he returns to the tomb one more time

to get some more footage

when suddenly...

And with that,

his investigation ends for the night.

So, how is this happening,

and why, with this doll?

Dolls are miniature representations of us.

When children or even adults handle them,

we are imbuing them with some of our own psychic residue,

which they are able to absorb.

Dolls have been used in ritual and magic for ages now.

If you go to any voodoo altar,

sometimes there'll be a beautiful voodoo doll.

That doll is supposed to represent wealth and health,

and all the good luck.

But on the same side, we have dolls that

you can attribute pain and anger towards,

and bad luck and illness,

and those dolls can attribute that type of energy

to whoever's holding it as well.

Eduardo feels pretty certain

he knows exactly what kind of energy this doll holds,

and he is heeding the warning.

Coming up.

A shopper in Connecticut

is stalked by a smiling spirit.

What is it about reflective surfaces

that spur so many paranormal sightings?

Mirrors.

Look at it, dude.

Something's crawling out of the mirror.

Windows.

Even TV screens.

Some say they act as portals

into another world,

while others think it's simply easier

for spiritual energies

to manifest in a two-dimensional space.

Whatever the reason, one thing's for sure.

It's always startling.

Just ask a Connecticut man

who went shopping in a thrift store

and caught this.

I kind of know just by looking, right?

I don't have to scan every single one of these things.

July, 2020.

Connecticut.

Jesse Durfee is walking into a thrift store,

shooting an instructional video

on how to resell used items on the internet.

We're here to find something

to buy and sell on e-Bay and Amazon.

I'm filming on a new camera today,

so it should look nice and beautiful.

Whoo, hopefully we find some awesome stuff.

As he moves from section to section of the store,

it's pretty much business as usual.

Looking through some of the books,

maybe I'll find something.

Let's go check out the video game section.

Four dollars apiece, I think, is a very reasonable price.

Until he gets to the used multimedia section

and something extraordinary happens.

Watch closely.

I kind of know just by looking, right?

I don't have to scan every single one of these things.

Did you see it?

Watch again.

As Jesse flips a disc over,

what looks like the smiling face of a woman

appears beside his own in the reflection.

Moments later, Jesse turns around...

and we see that there is no one standing behind him.

What just happened?

My name is Jesse Durfee,

and I filmed the ghost in the CD case behind me.

Going in there felt like any other Goodwill.

You're surrounded by a bunch of things donated by people.

And when I'm in the aisle and I'm looking around,

I'm filming in front of me, I'm filming behind me,

I'm flipping through things.

I pull out one of the CDs and I take a look,

and when I see it, I see nothing.

I didn't know until I had actually uploaded the video

and I get a comment telling me,

"Hey, in your video, there's a lady behind you,"

and that's when I really got freaked out.

I had zero sense, zero feeling that she was

even there next to me, which kind of makes it

a little creepier.

He pulls out one case, we look at the front,

he flips it to the back,

and we see, for just a moment,

his reflection, and very clearly,

someone else too.

Standing beside him, looking almost

like she's posing for the camera,

smiling over his shoulder, looking directly into the lens.

And yet, there's no one with him.

So, this really feels to me

like a ghost caught in the wild.

The best part about this is that this figure is smiling.

We sometimes only think about the ghosts

that are connected to doom and gloom, and to mishap,

but there are plenty of ghost stories

involving happy ghosts, and maybe this is one of them.

So, could this smiling image

really be a ghost?

Perhaps the fact that it was caught

on a reflective surface gives us a clue.

Reflections show us things that our eyes

are not always capable of seeing.

And so, we see that in any reflective object.

Something intentional, like a mirror,

or something unintentional,

like the reflective surface of a CD case.

And this sort of inverse world

that reflective surfaces show us

might include things that we can't see with the naked eye.

I think the reason why reflections are so often seen

when it comes to apparitions

is because it's easier to manifest

in a two-dimensional space

than a three or four-dimensional space.

Because they're not fully physical beings anymore,

they can only manifest in something

that is not as vibrationally dense,

so they come in a two-dimensional form.

Kinda makes you think that all the reflections

we encounter on a daily basis

are, each of those, essentially a portal

into somewhere else.

Possibly.

But if we're looking into another dimension,

whose face are we seeing?

I don't know who she is.

A lot of people like to think that,

when somebody donates something,

if it was in a house where somebody died

or somebody passed, that they are now

kind of linked with that item.

Was she, at one time, the owner of this product

that this person is holding in his hands?

Perhaps that's the image that she saw

when she owned this product originally.

Maybe.

But whoever this mysterious woman is,

Jesse's just grateful that his viewers

brought her to his attention.

She obviously liked me. She was smiling pretty big.

I'm not afraid of her,

and I would like to meet her again.

And as far as catching more apparitions in the future...

I think I'm just going to keep going as usual

and hope that, if it happens again,

somebody else with a keen eye

will point it out in one of my videos,

and then I'll go back there

and see if I can find it again.

Coming up.

A man in England is cornered...

...by a terrifying creature.

Have you ever heard about the Shy Guy?

It's a creature from internet lore

that, when enraged, is said to tear humans apart...

...and eat their flesh.

Children, in particular.

Fortunately, this thing exists

only in the minds of those who've heard the stories.

Or does it?

One investigator in England thinks he may have discovered one

in a long-abandoned house.

And when you see it,

you may believe it's real too.

May, 2021.

Accrington, England.

Urban explorer Daniel Duffy...

...arrives at an abandoned farmhouse

with a history of paranormal activity.

I am Daniel and I am the person who filmed the video.

I'd heard stories the place was really haunted.

Apparently, a child went missing a couple of years back

and no one's ever seen him since.

Tonight, Daniel is here

to see if those stories are true...

and is caught off-guard right as he walks in.

At one point, there was wet footprints going into the property...

which I found a bit mysterious

and they were very fresh like someone had walked inside the building.

Daniel is a little freaked out

but ventures forth, determined to see this through.

Eventually making his way

to the most frightening part of the house, the attic.

If I was going to capture anything,

you know, it was going to be in the attic.

And as it turns out,

Daniel's instincts are spot-on.

Watch closely.

What was that?

Watch again as, first,

a hand with impossibly long fingers rises up,

followed by a small face with black eyes.

Daniel's camera light goes off and,

when it comes back on...

it's gone.

When I seen the face and both the fingers coming

through the attic space, I thought,

"I'm not getting out of here alive."

I didn't know what to expect when I watched this video,

but then, when you see that,

you're like, "What could that possibly be?

That is not of this Earth."

It literally looks like something out of a nightmare.

It's way too big, way too pale,

way too gangly to be a person.

Honestly, I mean, if I were there...

...and this thing were coming at me,

I'd be lucky if I had the presence of mind

to open a window before I tried to go through it.

But there are no windows in this attic.

In fact, there's only one way out.

Right where Daniel spotted whatever that thing was.

I had to get out of there.

I thought, "Now is my time to run."

As Daniel makes his way back through the house,

his one goal...

get out of here alive.

Finally, he reaches the back of the farmhouse

and, in his mind, a possible way out.

I thought, "This is my exit. I need to get out of here."

And just before I got to go out the exit,

I turned to my right and there was a window.

And with that, Daniel's investigation

is decisively ended for the night.

I just ran, ran for my life.

I think it wanted to eat me.

I think it was some sort of a cannibal.

So, what exactly is this thing?

Daniel thinks he knows.

The story of the Shy Guy, you know,

it comes from somewhere in the USA.

And, you know, there's a lot of stuff all over social media.

He's supposed to eat children,

he's supposed to come from underneath a child's bed.

The Shy Guy is the embodiment of fear and abuse

and, like, mental distress.

When you have enough of that happening over a period of time,

it snowballs into these grotesque figures

that become non-human haunts.

Non-human haunts just waiting for a victim.

And though Daniel got out relatively unscathed...

...he knows just how lucky he was.

What I experienced that night was absolutely terrifying.

I think if it was someone different

who went into the farmhouse that night,

I think it would've been a different story.

I don't think they would've got out alive.

Coming up.

Are these lights in the sky fireworks...

...or UFOs?

Every December 31st,

cities around the globe ring in the new year

with dazzling displays of celebratory fireworks.

But recently, some revelers have also reported

seeing a completely different type of light show...

one that rings far more ominous than joyous.

And until we know exactly what the reasons are for these visits,

New Year's Eve might be a lot more...

stressful in years to come.

Oh, my God.

Hell no, that's not a balloon.

New Year's Eve 2020.

Dusseldorf, Germany.

It's just past midnight.

A resident records fireworks from his balcony

when he suddenly spots something unusual in the sky.

There are three lights forming a triangle in the distance,

with another one hovering nearby.

And everyone is baffled.

My first instinct is to say it's obviously fireworks.

It's a sort of long-burning light show

hanging in the air.

Until a really clear triangle formation emerges

and then holds.

That's not fireworks. That's not...

I mean, we know what fireworks look like.

This is something else.

Whatever it is, it does fit within

a commonly reported shape of UFO sightings.

And if this is, in fact, a UFO

from another world,

perhaps it makes sense that it would choose

this particular night on Earth for a fly-by.

If aliens do have the technology to travel to our Earth,

maybe during a fireworks presentation

it's easier for these things to maneuver around

without being noticed that much.

On the very same night in Bogota, Colombia,

the New Year's fireworks have yet to begin.

But something else hovers in the sky above.

Watch as an ominous, geometrically-shaped object

darker than the night sky floats in midair.

Could this too be a UFO in disguise?

Most nighttime UFOs are lit up in some way,

what we would classify as nocturnal lights.

So, this heavy, dense, dark, opaque object

just hanging motionless in the sky is, in some ways,

far more unnerving

than the normal nighttime UFOs that we see.

Could it be some kind of portal?

Is this weird shape going to, like, open up into, like,

a stargate and, all of a sudden,

drop in something from another dimension?

Or suck someone up from our dimension?

You know, like, that's what I think

is about to happen right now in Colombia.

If so, then it might also be happening

in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Mike Hughes and his wife are enjoying

a quiet New Year's Eve in their backyard

when they suddenly see this.

Holy!

My name is Mike Hughes,

and I am the person who shot this video.

We noticed this beautiful, bright ball of light

that completely shot straight up from the ground

into the sky, and we were like,

"Oh, my God, this is a completely massive firework,"

and we were waiting, like, bracing ourselves for this thing to explode.

But whatever this thing is

doesn't explode.

What the is that?

All of a sudden, the object leveled off

and started coming towards our house,

and that's when we knew something was extremely weird

about this moment that we were seeing.

The people filming that orange orb in the sky

know that it's not normal.

They know it doesn't belong there.

The way it moves, the way it shines, its color, its speed.

Everything about it clearly communicates this is a UFO.

Holy!

Then, something incredible happens.

For just a brief moment,

I felt this bizarre connection,

and you can see this thing go boom-boom.

And I was just, like, blown away

and panicked the moment that happened.

Mike's story fits a pattern here

because there are countless incidents

of experiencers and eyewitnesses

who believe that whatever we are watching in the skies

is likewise watching us,

and is indeed trying to establish communication.

Oh, my God!

Hell no, that's not a balloon!

After the object disappears,

Mike is certain of one thing.

I do believe it was some type of extraterrestrial craft.

I don't know where it came from,

but I truly do believe

that what we saw that night was not from this planet.

Holy!

So, three UFO sightings

from around the globe on the same night,

all happening around fireworks displays.

Concerning?

Definitely.

But for peace of mind, let's just assume

the aliens like a good light show

as much as the rest of us.

I mean, can you imagine?

I mean, we see what fireworks look like from the ground,

but can you imagine

what a great display it must look like from space?

Coming up.

A teenager takes on a haunted factory

in the Czech Republic.

No!

When it comes to being a paranormal investigator,

experience is a plus.

If there's any evil in this place, show yourself.

Because you never know

what's lurking around the next corner.

Which makes this next investigator

all the more impressive

because he's not only just beginning...

No. No way.

No way.

He's 16 years old.

Oh, my God. Did you see that?

And in just one investigation,

has witnessed more...

...than most seasoned investigators.

2021.

Ostrava, Czech Republic.

Sixteen-year-old Tobias Kypr

sets out for his very first paranormal investigation

at an abandoned factory.

My name is Tobias Kypr, and I am the one who shot these videos.

I got interested in paranormal videos

because it's fascinating to me

that dead people can communicate with us.

Which is exactly why Tobias chose this place.

Rumor has it the factory has a dark history

and is haunted.

There was a machine

that welded some parts together

and it exploded

and, at least what I know of,

one worker that operated the machine died,

so they had to close it.

Tonight, Tobias is hoping to make contact

with whatever entities might be present.

And sure enough, just minutes after entering the factory...

Watch again as the cabinet doors

swing open on their own...

...causing Tobias to panic and run for cover.

Tobias' first investigation is delivering

at almost every turn.

Watch closely as he enters another room.

Did you see it?

Watch again in slow motion

as a hunched, shadowy figure

seems to walk on the other side of the window.

The first time that I saw the figure

was actually in my video, which I uploaded to YouTube

and some viewers noticed it and pointed it out.

We see this strange shadow figure in the window

right when he approaches this particular room,

which I thought was really stunning.

That was real scary because I really didn't know

something was following me.

Minutes later,

whatever might be following him

kicks it up a notch.

The chair moving across the floor

is enough to end Tobias' investigation for the night.

But he's hooked...

...and returns for another visit

two weeks later.

This time, to communicate

with whatever is inside the factory.

The EVPs he captures are chilling.

I think it's really important to conduct EVP sessions

because that's really the key way

to understand the type of haunt

that's going on within a location,

specifically this factory.

And in this case, it shows that there is

an intelligent haunt going on within the factory,

and that there's multiple energies within that factory

because it's saying, "We're all here."

So, that's multiple spirits,

and that could be another reason

why the activity is so varied, you know?

That's why you have dark shadows,

that's why you have objects moving.

It's because it's an accumulation

of all different types of energies within that space.

So many energies,

Tobias returns for yet another visit.

This time, to explore the area

where the workers were reportedly killed.

Watch closely.

A shadow figure standing right behind him.

Then, seemingly following him

up the stairs as Tobias runs away.

No!

While up there, I saw the figure, I just ran up.

We know there was an explosion,

we know a bunch of workers died.

So, to think that the voices that are cropping up in EVPs,

the shadow figures that we're seeing,

the poltergeist-type activity...

...is perhaps those employees,

or a residual energy of theirs

that's in the space from that traumatic moment,

I think that makes a lot of sense.

Tobias thinks so too.

I think the shadow figure

that appears on the videos is the same,

but not the spirit that throws things at me and shuts the door.

Because I feel like that one is more aggressive

but the shadow figure isn't,

and I think both of those are the workers that died there.

Whoever they are, 16-year-old Tobias

is determined to find out exactly

what is going on here,

no matter how long that takes.

I think I'll try to talk to them more,

and I'll try to get more answers to the questions

so I can help them really get out of there.

We wish him well.

Coming up.

An adorable bunny and disembodied legs.

We've all heard of the Headless Horseman,

a centuries-old mythical figure

who rides his horse without a head.

More recently, images of what some have dubbed

"The Night Crawler" have surfaced,

a stick-thin figure that is all legs,

a tiny head, and no apparent torso.

And now, there may be a new entry

into this category of not-quite-complete creatures of the night.

Let's just call it

The Runaway Pants.

2021, Ecuador.

A young girl named Magaly is filming her pet rabbit

when she captures something inexplicable.

Did you see that?

Watch again.

As Magaly's rabbit startles and hops away...

we see what appears to be a torso-less pair of pants

run down the alley

and vanish into the night

as a young boy looks on, bewildered.

What on earth?

I like that this clip starts out on such a cute,

cuddly note of a little bunny,

and then we see these pair of legs

that are shambling, but in a hurry.

But where are they running to?

It looks like a white pair of pants

walking down the side of the street,

and there's no body.

There's no upper torso.

There's no other way to describe it.

It's pants. There's pants.

No person in the pants,

but pants are running down the street.

And they cast a shadow

as though that's all they are,

so this is one of those things that, at first,

seems almost funny, and the more you think about it,

gets really, really creepy.

So, what exactly is happening here?

Could it be one of the limbless creatures of lore?

Within paranormal circles, a pair of ghostly legs,

it's pretty unusual

but it does fit within a larger pattern.

After all, there have been numerous tales

of headless ghosts or ghosts with missing limbs.

So, why not a ghost without a torso?

Why not indeed.

One of the most clear apparitions

I've ever seen in my life

happened when I was about 19 years old,

and I was at home, sleeping,

I had woken up for no reason, it was dawn outside,

and when I looked over by the window,

I saw what looked like the bottom half of a man.

When I sat up to look at the bottom half

of these legs pacing back and forth in my room,

they kind of stopped and turned off to the side

and walked straight through the wall.

With Susan's own encounter in mind,

could the appearance of this half-figure

have something to do with the young ages

of the kids who witnessed this?

When it comes to paranormal activity

in which children are involved,

there seems to be some sort of magnetic attraction.

Whether it's the energy, the belief systems,

or the openness of the child's imagination,

the paranormal entities seem to have

some attraction to it,

or have this ability to manifest around them.

Whatever this thing is,

one thing's for certain.

It beats the pants off anything we've seen before.

What should you do in the event

you witnessed something paranormal?

Here are some tips to get it all on camera.

What the is that?

Always...

...keep the lights on.

Get it off of me!

And never stop recording,

even when you're scared.

No, no.

Check your footage for anything unusual.
