Next on Paranormal Caught on Camera

A family in New Jersey

suffers the consequences

of playing with a spirit board.

Bro, are you kidding me right now?

What the?

It's just insane about the stuff that goes on in this house

and it's definitely all from the spirit board.

A couple in England capture a ghost

hovering above their baby daughter.

That was just, like, this shadow, like, watching over her,

literally leaning over her.

A woman in Canada comes across what could be...

- ...a skinwalker.

What the hell is that? Really?

You don't think things like that would happen,

and then they do. It's creepy.

A paranormal investigator is stalked...

- Woah! - ...inside a haunted crypt.

Y'all, this is not funny.

There was definitely something watching me.

Whatever it was, it was up to no good.

And even more paranormal footage

you have to see...

To believe.

Depending on who you talk to,

spirit boards are one of two things:

a harmless assortment of letters and numbers

or a dangerous gateway to the other side.

But as long as the answer is uncertain,

perhaps it is best to tread lightly.

Just ask one family in New Jersey

who played with their spirit board

over a decade ago

and are still dealing with the repercussions.

Why is this door open?

What the is going on?

April, 2021

in Monroe Township, New Jersey.

For a while now, Matty Magaraci and his family

have been dealing with something truly unnerving.

My name is Matty Magaraci

and I've been filming these videos.

In 2009 or 2010,

my sister came home with a spirit board.

We knew what it was

but, like, we didn't think anything, like, too serious of it.

You know, we thought it was just kind of, like, a child's game

and we started playing it.

We probably did it every single solitary day

when I would get out of school.

For real, I'm not even kidding,

like, maybe a year long.

My sisters, they're gymnasts.

So, we would ask spirit board,

"Oh, what is Sammy gonna get on her form team?

And it would spell out, you know, numbers

and the next day, those same exact numbers came out.

And we started, like... "All right, whoa, this is little weird."

So, we kept going... These types of spirits were "good spirits."

And then one day,

we got a spirit that was, like, an evil spirit.

It started cursing at us. Saying like, "you."

Like "Go die." Like, stuff like that.

After that happened,

weird stuff around my house started going on.

Weird stuff that, over the years,

has escalated.

Scratches,

stuff disappearing, reappearing.

Seeing these outlines of people.

Hearing people running up and down the stairs

- in the middle of the night. -

Hearing big loud bangs...

And literally, in front of our faces,

seeing a door open and close in front of our eyes.

Eventually, Matty began to film

as much as he could.

And even though it's been over a decade of activity

he's still overwhelmed when it happens.

Like it did in April 2021,

when he was alone in the house...

Or so he thought.

Bro, nobody is home.

My family is in Cancun, bro.

You got to be kidding me.

Bro,

What the?

Bro, are you kidding me right now?

What the?

Bro!

Bro.

Why is this door open?

What the is going on?

This stuff that's happening, it is pretty extreme.

And it is all things that I have come across

when I had been dealing with poltergeist phenomenon.

Bro.

We see doors opening and closing on their own.

We see lights flickering on and off.

We have all these different activity happening.

Toilets are flushing

and sinks are being turned on and off,

and it's clearly ongoing.

And has been for quite some time.

Bro, look at this.

I'm watching Harry Potter, and boom.

A thing of Q-tips

just goes flying off the shelf.

Oh! No way, bro!

Hello?

Yo, somebody's whis--

What the?

There's something in in this house.

There's a ghost.

And I've been saying it for years.

And look at the drawer!

It's opening! Oh!

It's just insane

about the stuff that goes on in this house.

And it is definitely all from the spirit board.

A spirit board is not intrinsically evil, at all.

It's not something

that is inherently dangerous to use.

Where it potentially gets dangerous,

as stories and legends tell us,

is when people don't approach it

with the appropriate level of respect.

Daily use of a spirit board

is a little excessive.

If you continue, and continue, and continue

poking at the spirit world

or invoking them to come into your home,

you are going to invite all sorts of energies

within your space,

and these are bunch of energies you don't know.

And even worse than inviting

a bunch of strange spirits into your home

is not telling them when it is time to get out.

At the end of every session,

you're supposed to close those spirit board out

and say goodbye,

which is closing it out, you know.

We didn't do that. We didn't say goodbye.

We would just be like, "All right, we're done,"

and we would just throw it to the side.

We didn't put it away or nothing.

So, that portal never closed. It just stayed open.

When using a spirit board,

it's very important to establish boundaries

and guidelines,

and at the end, close out the session.

No. There's no specific magic words.

No "abracadabra,"

no anything that you have to say,

but it's your intent.

One of the best things to do

is to really use your voice and vocally project,

saying that now the session is ending,

"You need to exit.

You need to go out where you came."

It's a... Almost a ritual

and a type of respect

to close that door to that portal,

to that opening,

to make sure that whatever has come in has also left.

Unfortunately, Matty and his family

are past that point.

So, what now?

We have been saging, we've had psychic mediums.

We have holy water being doused everywhere.

I literally have the holy water next to my bed.

Thinking of actually bringing a priest over to the house.

Maybe that will help.

But that's where... We need help.

You got to be kidding me.

Depending on what you feed that energy

is what you get back from the hunt.

You could literally turn that energy

into something demonic in nature, through fear,

or if there is a lot of respect and understanding

of the spiritual nature of the energy,

then maybe you could turn into

something more of a guardian-type energy.

But if he continues to fear it,

it's just gonna feed off of that fear

because energy is what it's given to manifest.

Bro, I'm done, bro.

I got to get the out of here.

Coming up, a baby in England

attracts a mysterious apparition.

Taking care of a new-born baby

can be all-consuming.

The late-night feeds,

- the crying...

The diapers.

And then, of course, there are all the visitors

eager to meet the new little one

and stopping by at any and all hours to do so.

Sounds pretty stressful, right?

Now, just imagine if some of those visitors

are from the other side.

That's what happened to a couple in England.

And they have the footage to prove it.

Spring 2020, in Norwich, UK.

Shannon Hayward's 6-month-old daughter, Savannah,

is sleeping in her own bedroom, by herself,

for the very first time.

And Shannon and her partner, Robbie, are anxious.

They've set up a baby monitor,

but it keeps cutting out.

So, Robbie goes in to check on her himself.

The room is a bit colder than usual,

but otherwise, all seems well.

Until a few hours later,

when Robbie glances at the monitor

and sees and hears this.

A white shadow hovering over Savannah,

as static crackles on the monitor.

Both Robbie and Shannon spring into action.

Hi, my name is Shannon Hayward

and I was the one that filmed the video.

There was just, like, this shadow,

like, watching over her,

like, just literally leaning over her.

So, we both panicked.

He ran into the room to get her.

And as he went into the room,

the door, like, shut behind him.

And he felt this, like, draft of coldness

go straight through him.

Robbie and Shannon keep Savannah in their room

for the rest of the night, for good reason.

We have got two dogs.

And when that happened, they knew something was going on,

but neither of the dogs would enter this room at all.

And when Robbie and Shannon

review the footage the next day,

they see why.

Watch and listen.

Shortly after Robbie checks on Savannah,

the white figure can be seen entering the frame

for the first time that evening to static.

Then, it quickly disappears,

followed by more static.

Later, another darker figure

comes in from the left side this time,

as intense static is heard on the monitor again.

The original white figure briefly returns again.

Brighter than before.

And then reappears one final time

over Savannah...

Which is what sent Robbie running into the room.

What exactly is going on here?

This is a parent's nightmare.

We have an infant,

which is the most venerable and innocent amongst us,

clearly being disturbed by something.

I don't know what it is,

but I do find it incredibly creepy.

We're seeing a lighted figure,

almost the opposite of, say, a shadow figure,

but something that's almost creating

this vile luminescence that's glowing

that's by the camera.

I found it interesting

that it only manifests on the peripheries.

It doesn't ever really cross in front of the camera.

When it does, you get this incredibly loud,

kinda crackling noise in the audio,

and then, all of a sudden, the camera shuts off.

Like, it was just too intense.

Then, at times, it appears almost like a vertical shape,

Perhaps like a person or a creature

standing and looking down into the crib,

looking over this baby.

Whatever this mist is,

it seems to swirl around the baby,

and the baby doesn't really seem to know what's going on.

Something that is all too common

when it comes to the paranormal.

We hear a lot of stories

where it seems like a child is interacting

with a spirit, or something unseen.

And I wonder if it is because of the purity of children,

as well as their openness and willingness,

to see the things that we as adults filter out.

The life force in children

is so powerful and strong,

that it seems that

creatures, or spirits, or some sort of entity

from the other side,

is incredibly drawn to that combination

of vulnerability and massive life force.

Which sounds terrifying.

But for Shannon, thankfully,

she doesn't see it that way.

I just thought, in my head, if, that he or...

He, or she, or whatever, was there to hurt her,

they would have done it, or tried to do something already.

So, I've got a name for him. We call him Bertie.

Um, and we just think that he watches over her.

A lot of people misconstrue

haunts around babies,

and kinda demonize them,

but a lot of the time, I find that

when there's a new member to a family,

there's gonna be a lot of ancestral energy,

that comes and blesses the baby,

or, you know, welcomes the baby.

Shannon agrees completely.

We could believe that it's my partner's dad,

'cause he passed away

and never got to meet our Savannah

and he loves babies, so, could be him,

could be my nan, anyone.

We just... Obviously, we can't ask them,

so, we don't know,

but we believe that it's someone quite close to us,

that wanted, even, to see Savannah,

or hasn't got the chance.

But even if it's not,

Shannon is at peace

with whatever it might be.

What I've seen on TV is that...

Is just not to interfere,

just leave them to do what they wanna do.

Your trying to get involved there,

they're gonna retaliate, and they're gonna do stuff.

And obviously, we've left them alone.

We obviously realize that it's not gonna harm her,

so, we just, kinda, left it,

and nothing's happened,

so, we obviously made the right choice.

Coming up,

two security officers are confronted

by what could be

a skinwalker.

The skinwalker.

A shape-shifting witch from Native American folklore,

able to take the form, of any number of things.

Or nothing at all.

And known for its malice

and brutality.

So, if you ever cross paths with one...

It's probably best to do what one woman in Canada did.

Get back in your car as quickly as possible.

And hide.

April, 2021,

on the Beardy's and Okemasis' indigenous reserve

in Saskatchewan, Canada,

Rochelle Ananas, and her coworker, Ray Lynn,

are sitting in a car,

operating a checkpoint,

for those entering and leaving the reserve,

when Rochelle spots something

across the road.

So, she gets out of the car,

pulls out her phone,

and starts recording.

Can you see it?

Watch again.

As a large, lumbering figure,

seemingly camouflaged by the night,

heads straight towards Rochelle and her coworker.

My name is Rochelle Ananas, and I filmed the video.

We were creeped out, scared.

And I have a nervous laugh.

When I get scared, I laugh.

So, she was like, "Oh, my God", and then,

and then we got in the vehicle.

You don't think things like that would happen,

and then they do.

It's, it's, it's creepy.

We see something that's bipedal,

that is tall,

that is transparent.

You can see almost through it.

It actually seems to be pretty close.

And yet nothing.

No facial features,

no clothing, no bodily details in any way.

This form or figure, human-like, as it is,

seems to be shrouded in some sort of cloak.

And this cloak seems to be exactly the same color

as its surroundings.

What moves the needle

from "odd " to "scary," on this footage,

is the slow, deliberate walk of this thing.

Like some horror-movie maniac,

constantly in pursuit,

but taking its time.

As we were gonna call,

I guess, our maintenance man,

to come and check up on us,

it was gone.

Which, of course,

is a huge relief.

But, incredibly, a few days later,

Rochelle goes looking for it, again.

This time, with her fiance.

Me and my fiance decided to go for a drive,

and I'm like, "Let's go check out that area again."

I'm just naturally curious.

It's the curiosity,

and it's the thrill of being scared, too

And sure enough, as soon as they get there,

Rochelle's fiance spots something.

My fiance was scared.

So, we stopped,

and she's like, "Did you see that thing behind that tree?"

And I'm like, "No."

And also we see something moving,

- and she's like, "We gotta go." -

And then he started backing up

and it kept walking towards us.

So, I pulled out my phone, and I started recording again.

Watch, as once again,

the creature creeps into view,

and marches toward the reversing car.

The second time they see this

in the middle of the dirt road,

it seems a lot more solid,

but at the same time, even though there's lights,

directly on this being,

it seems to still evade total detection of the light,

which I thought, was interesting.

So, the obvious question,

what is this thing?

There is just a lot of speculation on what it could be

'cause, we do get a lot of...

Seeing and hearing all these different things in our reserve,

and it really could be anything.

My inclination would maybe say Bigfoot,

but I think the door's probably open

for a lot of, sort of, human-hybrid animals.

A dog-man, a wolf-man,

Some sort of swamp creature, something like that.

Anything that walks

upright on two legs.

I think this is sort of fair game for,

because we can't see any details of it, it's there.

And maybe that lack of detail,

along with the location of the sighting,

an indigenous reserve,

gives us a clue as to what this could be.

Seeing a creature that looks human-like,

but also, animal-like,

or seeing an animal behaving in a way

that seems more like a human might behave,

that's when we start verging into that realm of,

"Okay, what if I'm seeing a skinwalker?"

In Native American mythology,

a skinwalker is a being

an entity, a witch, that can transform its shape.

Sometimes, it can assume the shape of an animal,

sometimes it can appear humanoid,

but whatever it is, it's not good.

Though Rochelle is still not sure

exactly what it was,

she believes a skinwalker is not out of the question.

It could be, because of how fast it just went away.

But that chilling possibility still isn't enough

to scare away Rochelle.

Quite the opposite.

I would still go and look for it.

But if I come across it again,

I don't think I would stop filming.

I don't know what it is, what it could be,

but I would love to find out.

Coming up, who, or what,

is stalking this paranormal investigator

in Tennessee?

- Whoa!

There's a theory

that one of the primary catalysts,

for supernatural phenomena

- is fear.

Because many believe

a spirit can use that kind of energy

to fuel its activity.

Just ask one investigator in Tennessee,

who believes his nervous reaction,

to an earlier fright...

May have led to this.

Whoa!

Oh!

September, 2021,

Knoxville, Tennessee,

a paranormal investigator named Josh

has heard rumors from some locals,

of a chilling supernatural occurrence

at Greenwood cemetery.

Tonight, he's here to investigate.

My name is Josh, and this is my video.

I received reports of this black mass

hanging out in the cemetery.

This black mass was kind of a combination

between a shadow figure and a black cloud.

It has the form of an entity, but it's gigantic.

It was blocking out street lights,

and headstones, and everything behind it.

So, I decided to go take a look for myself.

But upon entering the cemetery,

the first thing that Josh sees

is not a black mass,

it's an empty crypt.

Now back in the day, in the winters,

when the ground was too frozen

to actually dig graves by hand,

they would store bodies out here.

The Greenwood cemetery in Knoxville, Tennessee

is about 120 years old,

and it's considered to be

one of the most active cemeteries in Tennessee.

So, going to a place like this,

if you're an investigator,

you're more likely to get some form of phenomenon.

And sure enough,

just moments after Josh steps into the crypt,

the phenomena begins.

Yo, there was some scratching on this door.

Hello?

There's nothing out here.

Look at the mark.

I'll bet you can see that.

That sound was dragged right down the door.

Oh, look.

Like claw marks.

Three large scratches, down the steel door,

and no one who could've done it in sight.

Honestly, I'm pretty baffled

as to how those could appear.

But there were three distinct claw marks

and usually that's something evil or demonic,

when you see sets of three.

The scratching sound at the door was so loud,

it's obvious something was there.

That's not a question.

But when he goes out and looks at it...

Hello?

It's too high up

to have been an animal

that would be passing through a cemetery.

And it's way too deep a gouge in the metal

to have just been a human person

playing a prank and scratching it with their nails.

I went back to the beginning of the video

to see if they were there when he went in.

And they weren't.

And I looked real, real hard

to see if these scratches were on that door

as he was entering this crypt.

And for the life of me, I couldn't find 'em.

If these are indeed scratches

from some from some entity, you would imagine

it would have to be quite strong

to dig into that metal.

But that doesn't automatically make it negative.

After all, this guy is trying to communicate with them,

and he got a response.

So, that's what he wanted.

But as Josh continues to communicate,

the responses

get a bit more confusing.

And...

Dangerous.

Push?

Push What?

- Whoa!

Oh!

Hello?

Y'all, this is not funny.

So, when the door actually closed,

it really caught me off guard

that there was something powerful enough there

to do this.

This thing

probably weighs a good 200 pounds.

And it flew shut.

There was definitely something watching me.

And I don't know if it was trying to keep me in,

trying to get me out, it was scaring me.

But whatever it was, it was up to no good.

- Whoa!

Oh!

To me, I feel like this might be

something more powerful

than just a normal soul or spirit

that's lingering about.

Maybe this is something that is more demonic

or something that has a lot more power to manifest.

Sometimes, investigators forgets that

you're going into a space

that's supposed to be sacred,

is supposed to hold bodies in a respectful manner.

So, maybe the door slammed

in response to the fact that,

you know, "Hey, you're not welcome here."

Like, "Please don't come here asking questions.

This is my resting space."

Or even more terrifying...

Perhaps the initial attempts at scaring Josh

were done for a very specific reason.

So, what I believed happened is,

this entity had scared me

by scratching the door, and then it fed off my energy,

and used that to slam the door.

- Whoa!

Oh!

When we show up with fear, with angst

you know, queaking in our boots,

we are sending out those vibes

to whatever it is that's resting there,

peacefully or otherwise.

And if nothing else, cemeteries are certainly

a hub of spirits.

So, we know that it becomes, almost,

the self-fulfilling thing

where the more scared you are, the more anxious you are,

the more of that energy you put out,

and the more of that sort of aggressive energy

you stand to get back.

Something that Josh

isn't going to keep messing with.

At least for now.

Once the door slammed,

I gathered all my stuff and got out of there.

But I would definitely return to the crypt

just to get answers.

Whatever caused this to happen on this night

is definitely hiding something.

And I'm determined to figure out what it is.

Coming up, an intrepid explorer

in Saudi Arabia

comes face to face

with the legendary Jinn.

As a paranormal investigator...

Hello?

Going into a supposedly haunted location, alone,

is both courageous

and foolhardy...

What the was that?

Because you never know

what spirits you might be facing.

And what exactly they're capable of.

And if you're in the Middle East,

it can be even more terrifying.

Because you may very well

end up in the presence

of a supernatural entity

called the Jinn.

That is capable of, well, a lot...

As one intrepid Saudi Arabian man

can attest you

when he found himself, literally,

praying for his survival.

February, 2019,

in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.

It's late at night.

And paranormal investigator, Nishan Nizar,

is exploring an abandoned building

that is rumored to be haunted

by the Jinn.

And even though Nishan

is highly aware of the Jinn's supposed power,

it doesn't make what happens next

any less terrifying.

Watch again.

As the door behind him

slammed shut.

This moment with the door,

it happened so fast and is so loud,

it even startled me.

As spirits go,

Jinns are generally more powerful

than most of the entities we see caught on camera.

Where a poltergeist

might throw a fork across the room.

uh, Jinns seem to have the, uh,

the power to manipulate

physical matter

that's much, much larger and heavier.

Nishan is now gripped by fear.

And uses the only protection

he came here with.

With him saying prayers,

going through this house,

I think, sometimes,

that might antagonized the spirit even more

because you're showing the spirit that you are afraid.

These doors keep slamming behind him,

like, kind of forcing him out of the building.

It's like all of this stuff

is reacting to his presence

in order to get him out.

Whatever the Jinn is after,

one thing's for sure.

It seems to be getting

more powerful.

When the box basically just flips over

right beside him and he turns around, I jumped.

He seemed genuinely frightened.

It genuinely frightened me.

And it's enough to frighten Nishan

right out of the building.

For good.

Why do people keep looking for Jinn?

These entities don't want to be your friend.

When you mess around with Jinn,

you almost always asking for trouble.

Coming up. Is this UFO in Indonesia

on the way to its underwater base?

Believe it or not,

there are some ufologists who are convinced

that alien life forms

aren't just visiting us from time to time,

they're already here...

Living among us.

- But if this is true...

Then where on Earth

are they and their crafts hiding?

If one video from Indonesia is any indication,

the answer is simple.

Deep below the surface of the ocean.

May, 2021.

Off the coast of Situbondo, Indonesia,

a small group of people are fishing on the water.

When, in the skies above,

they see something bizarre.

A long black narrow object

descending towards the Earth.

And when it reaches the surface of the water,

it simply

vanishes.

Good question.

What is that?

This is like a "What?"

sort of moment, like...

I have not seen something like this before.

This is truly,

truly anomalous.

I love that it's during the daylight

so you can really see those finer details.

Is this a cloud? I don't think so.

Is this UFO? Most definitely

because it's unidentified, it's flying,

and it's going into the water.

What we're seeing here is something

fall so gingerly and softly.

And so slowly

into the ocean,

almost as if it were weightless,

but it's a massive thing.

There's no splash.

There are, there were no waves.

It doesn't seem to upset the surface of the water at all.

Uh, it's almost as if it just pierces into it

and, and, and disappears.

Almost like

it belongs there.

People have theorized for years

that unidentified objects

might not be from outer space,

but actually from, uh, inner space.

Uh, under the water,

where they cannot be detected.

And the truth is, for all that we consider space

to maybe be the final frontier,

the bottom of the ocean

is something about which we know very little.

A truth which has led to

some startling recent discoveries.

This footage calls to mind an anomaly

discovered in satellite imagery.

Also in Indonesia,

where a UFO researcher believes

he had found an opening

to an underwater alien base.

It was pretty far away from where this was captured,

but still, it's a heck of a coincidence.

And it could mean

that actual contact with the alien life forms

has been going on

for quite some time.

Seeing this video, and seeing this UFO

moving slowly down from the sky,

there's something that seems to be a little bit of

the calm before the storm.

It's getting ready for something

and it's trying to do it undetected and quietly.

So, whether this belongs in the water

or it's going to investigate,

there seems to be something bigger going on here.

What should you do in the event

you witness something paranormal?

Here is some tips to get it all on camera.

Whoa!

Close your spirit board session,

or else...

Are you kidding me right now?

Check your baby monitor.

And then...

Check it again.

Be brave.

But not too brave.
