Next on Paranormal Caught on Camera.

A shadow figure peeks around a wall

at an abandoned restaurant.

When I saw this, I could not believe

what I was looking at.

A paranormal investigator is tormented...

Whoa.. Ow.

by a poltergeist.

- You all right? - Yeah. That hurts.

There were a few times that we definitely felt

like we were in danger.

A police officer in Brazil

spots a legendary fire serpent.

This is nuts.

This is not a phenomenon that we see often.

What otherworldly substance is floating

through this California parking lot?

Oh my... What?

I'm going, what is going on?

This is bizarre.

And even more paranormal footage

you have to see...

to believe.

In the world of the paranormal,

shadow figures are usually thought of as negative,

intelligent voids,

that spy on the living from the darkness.

But if you see one,

before you jump to any conclusions,

it might be good to look at things

from a broader perspective.

Because sometimes,

depending on the location's history,

that shadow figure might just have a good reason

to be there.

Just ask one paranormal investigator

from Washington,

who went to a storied restaurant

and captured a shadow figure

that may just be its former owner.

January 14th, 2015,

in West Seattle, Washington,

Ross Allison and his team of investigators

are at the Alki Homestead Restaurant,

setting up for an investigation

that was originally delayed for years.

I'm Ross Allison and I filmed this video.

I have always felt comfortable at the Homestead.

I think its story is unique.

The story was that Doris Nelson

had purchased it back in the 1960s.

And so after her death,

I think she still remained there

because this was also her home.

And after her passing,

a lot of the staff and customers

have had experiences.

The owner,

he actually would be awoken in the middle of the night...

- by receiving phone calls

from the restaurant.

And, of course, when he'd answered the phone,

nobody's there.

He even said that dishes were flying across the room.

One time,

the commercial refrigerator that they had,

the door came off the hinges

and flew across the restaurant.

After that, they had contacted me

and my team to do an investigation.

And he had also reached out to a psychic

that he was aware of.

And the psychic was telling him

that the spirits were unhappy.

But she also forewarned him of a fire.

And just before we were to do our investigation,

the great fire happened.

The 2009 fire gutted the restaurant,

and prevented Ross' team from investigating the place

until 2013.

This is pretty cool over here.

Tonight is his third time

officially investigating the Alki since then.

I wanted to know what was going on.

I wanted to know what the mystery was, you know.

Why was so much activity happening?

And while Ross's team

had captured minor paranormal activity

on the prior two investigations,

tonight is decidedly different.

We were just setting up.

I actually wasn't even paying attention.

I was just getting the camera turned on,

adjusting the equipment, adjusting the camera.

Watch closely at what Ross's camera

catches by chance.

Did you see it?

Watch again, in the far doorway,

as a shadow seems to check out Ross

and then quickly duck for cover behind a door.

Ross doesn't see it

until he reviews the footage later.

And he is stunned.

I couldn't believe it.

When I saw this, I could not believe

what I was looking at.

I had to go over it, you know, 50, 60 times

slowing it down, speeding up,

trying to figure out exactly what's going on there.

And it was... it was just a shock.

This was one of those truly accidental moments

that when you see it is truly terrifying.

Clearly, there's something in that room.

You can see a head, you can see shoulders.

And when that camera pans back into that room,

it exits out of that frame.

It always seems that when we see footage like this,

you've seen the object or the entity

or whatever it is,

it disappears behind a wall or a doorway,

and when they go to check, there's nothing there.

So, what was the point of the peek around?

Was it curiosity or an invitation

to come find me?

Tough to say.

We do know, however, that shadow figures

are usually not to be trifled with.

Whenever you have a shadow figure like this,

oftentimes, they seem to be negative.

They seem to be revealing themselves.

They're not this bright, shining white light,

but they're this dark form, this dark mass

that seems to be showing up in rooms

when this paranormal or poltergeist activity is occurring.

But considering the restaurant's past,

could this actually be the spirit

of a once living person?

Could it be an old employee? Could it be an old owner?

Assuming they understand that they've passed on,

why wouldn't they come in and check the place out?

"What's my restaurant doing now?

And how are people treating my restaurant?"

Ross is on the same page,

especially given the fact that Doris,

the former owner, used to live upstairs.

I think it's safe to assume that it is Doris.

This was her home.

She put her heart and soul into this place.

So, I think she still is up there

living the rest of her afterlife

in her old apartment.

And he believes all the activity before the fire,

the mysterious phone calls, the broken dishes,

and the flying refrigerator door

were the result of Doris trying to reach out.

I think what was happening is maybe Doris

was trying to warn them

of this fire that was gonna happen.

It was electrical fire.

They had too many Christmas lights

plugged into one outlet.

And that's what caused the fire.

I think she knew what was about to happen.

And I think she was frustrated

with the fact that no one was listening to her.

No one was taking advantage of the signs

that she was trying to give them, the warnings.

A constant presence of people,

employees, servers, and guests at a restaurant

provides the opportunity to see these patterns

of activity that happen.

So things like glasses flying off tables,

unexplainable noises,

knowing that those are common things

that happen here,

that really provides some substantive context

for the shadow figure that's looking out

behind that door.

Whoever it may be,

Ross is just grateful that his capture contributes

to the restaurant's eventful history.

Hopefully, you know, stories like this,

the evidence like this will continue to draw people

to this place and realize

what a historic and amazing story that...

That's being told here.

Coming up,

ghost hunters at a haunted saloon in Nevada...

Ooh. Ow!.

are attacked by spirits.

It's a piece of the ceiling, dude.

In a booming mining town

during the American Frontier,

there was a ritzy watering hole

called the Washoe Club,

a place where those who struck big in the Gold Rush

gathered to enjoy debaucherous pleasures.

Today, the saloon is still operational,

and serves as a tourist destination

for those looking to experience

a taste of the Wild West.

But the Washoe isn't just a hotspot

for living visitors,

there are also...

- the dead ones.

One paranormal investigator in Nevada

jumped at the chance to explore

the legendary haunt

and was greeted by its finest...

and oldest customers.

Give us a sign, like, just let us know

that you're in here.

Whoa. What was that?

November 2019, Virginia City, Nevada,

Patrick McQueary and his cameraman, Jason,

have just entered the Old Washoe Club,

where they'll be spending the night

investigating alone.

We're gonna head up to the second floor right now.

And just kind of do like a walk around

and kind of check out the...

check out the building and see, uh...

See what's going on up there right now.

Let's check it out.

I'm Patrick McQueary and this is my video.

The Washoe Club never lets you down.

It could be noon. It could be midnight.

It could be 3:00 AM.

That place is always creepy.

It is always horrifying.

You constantly see shadow figures move.

You think you see people

out of the corner of your eye.

And then you look and there's nothing there.

You definitely get a vibe that you're not alone.

Ooh, I'm getting bad,

like head to toe chills right now.

And as Patrick breaks out his Ovilus device,

it quickly becomes clear that tonight is no different.

Ambition, soon,

- age, animal. - Animal.

And I don't like anything that it's saying right now.

No.

No, this is not a spirit box. It's different.

This is an Ovilus

which is a very specific device

that has a dictionary of program words within it.

And depending on the frequency

that's interacted with on the EM bands,

allegedly spirit can pick out words.

Oh, my God.

Unholy.

- Did you hear that? - Yeah.

But Patrick and Jason are about to experience

something much more frightening

than some chilling EVPs.

Give us a sign, like,

just let us know that you're here.

Forty.

Especially, gasp.

It said gasp.

We don't really see any apparitions,

but we hear them making their presence known.

What's that right there?

A piece of, like, wall or something?

Oh, that's it, huh?

There seem to be things flying around

in the rooms and hallways.

You want us to go up there?

Whoa.

What the was that?

That was in that room, right?

What is that?

It's just like bits of rocks and stuff.

- Like brick. - Brick.

The fact that so many different objects

seem to be being thrown at these investigators

starts to suggest, if not something intelligent,

at least something a bit aggressive.

When the Ovilus does say things like unholy

and things start getting thrown by unseen forces,

it definitely leads towards something

upset that we're there.

Upset enough, it seems,

to go on the attack.

I keep hearing, like, these weird noises.

Whoa.. Ow.

.

Are you all right?

Yeah. That hurts.

There were a few times that we definitely

felt like we were in danger.

What was that?

It's a piece of the ceiling, dude.

It's a piece of the ceiling?

We have no idea where this giant piece of ceiling

came from.

All we know is that it smashed into the staircase

without us knowing, like where it came from.

The fact that this is falling down

in front of them, right where they are,

as they're communicating with whatever spirit

or spirits are there is no coincidence

in my opinion.

I mean, that thing was, like, a foot by a foot,

and it came flying down.

Puncture.

Rage.

It just said a puncture and rage.

And that looks like a piece of the ceiling fell down.

It was horrifying.

Horrifying, but not surprising

given the history of the Washoe.

The Washoe Club gained a reputation

as being one of the most haunted places

in the Old West.

During the boom years of the Gold Rush,

this place saw a lot of life,

and I'm sure it saw a lot of death as well.

There's a lot of people that moved

through those halls and even lived there

at different times.

But there were also gunfights that broke out there

and you can see bullet holes in the ceiling.

There's a lot of emotional energy

attached to this location good and bad.

It's just a great part of the stew

that gets mixed up.

A stew that eventually,

for Patrick and Jason,

is a little too much to handle.

- Okay, we gotta go. - Oh, my god.

That said it, dude.

Dude, we got to go.

The Ovilus said " hell"

but it didn't say it in like the normal voice that it has,

it, like, said it in this weird like lower octave.

We both just kind of looked at each other

and Jason was like, "It's time to go.

Like, we need to go."

Well, that's not the right way to go.

And for Patrick,

someone with dozens of investigations

under his belt,

the Old Washoe Club is one for the books.

I don't know what it is about that area,

if it's a portal or something like that.

But it definitely seems like The Washoe Club

is just like a hotspot.

And not only do we know it as ghost hunters,

but the spiritual side, the ghost entities,

whatever you wanna call them,

um, they know it as well and take full advantage of it.

Whoa.. Ow.

.

- Are you all right? - Yeah, that hurt.

Coming up.

Two brothers in India cross paths

with the legendary woman in white.

Seeing an apparition

on the side of the road

is one of the most common paranormal tropes.

But as terrifying as an experience like that might be...

there's some comfort that ultimately your vehicle

can get you out of there fast

unless of course that apparition

has other ideas.

Two brothers in India can vouch for that

because when they tried to speed away

from a terrifying roadside spirit...

...they soon realized...

...it wasn't quite done with them.

2014 in Ooty, India,

Santosh Mandal and his brother

are in town to purchase goods

to sell at their hometown family market

when on a sightseeing joyride...

something strange happens.

Watch closely.

Watch again.

As along the side of the road,

a figure, clad in all white,

terrifies the brothers.

Hello. Hello. Greetings.

My name is Santosh Mandal.

This one is really creepy.

We have two people. They're on a motorbike.

They're driving down the road,

obvious, lots of wind noise going on

and we see quite clearly,

a very tall, slender,

looks like maybe cloaked and hooded figure

just standing on the side of the road.

Now, if that were a person,

I would imagine if there were a speeding motorbike heading

towards you,

you would flinch and move out of the way.

But this thing doesn't do that.

It seems to be sort of immune to the presence of others.

The fact that it just shows up in front of this motorcycle

shows me it's trying to put these men

into some form of peril

for them to lose their balance,

for them to slide off the road,

potentially injure or kill themselves.

The brothers think the same thing.

Which is why they speed away from it

as fast as they possibly can.

And about a minute later,

they started to calm down...

until...

Watch again.

As what appears to be the same white figure...

pops up in front of the brothers' path yet again.

Sending them both into hysterics.

Could this be two separate entities

or is this one entity that was able to manifest incredibly,

quickly on both ends of the road

that these motorcyclists were driving down

because even if she was like, running as fast as she can,

even if she was an Olympic runner,

she would have never been able to catch up with them

at that speed again.

But if this is a ghost,

whose ghost is it?

One of the most commonly reported

ghost stories that we hear

is of this figure in this long white outfit

that really just wanders the road silently.

A lot of the older stories of the woman in white

tended to depict a woman who was betrayed

and killed by the man that she loved and married.

And so when she dies at the hands of her husband,

she manifests back in a place of love,

you know, like, the first day of her marriage.

And the way that legend always wraps up

in all the different variations of how it's told,

is that people are being led to their deaths

by this figure.

That this figure seemingly in need of help

is actually there to lure people

into a fate similar to the one

that it seems she likely met.

And while the woman in white

is a world-wide phenomenon,

it seems especially prevalent in India.

I've seen so many clips in the roads

of India, the shrouded white figures.

Whoo! Whoo!

that!

And I'm not sure if these are like,

these hitchhiking ghosts,

but they seem to be incredibly solid

like, an actual person wearing a white shroud.

If it's one rule we should all be aware of

with the paranormal,

it's beware of hitchhiking ghosts.

Santosh very much agrees.

Coming up.

A police officer trails a mythological fire serpent

in Brazil.

TheBoitata,

a flying serpent made of fire,

said to protect the rainforest of Brazil

from any ill-willed visitors.

Legend even has it

that if you stare at theBoitata long enough,

you'll go blind and insane.

Thankfully, most understand theBoitata

to be merely the product of folklore.

Or is it?

Because if theBoitata isn't real,

then how do you explain this?

February 2001 in Parana, Brazil,

a police officer named Fernando

is driving in a rural area

when in the distance, he spots something strange.

High up in the trees,

a ball of fire.

That as Fernando moves closer to it,

seems to be both growing in size.

And somehow seemingly,

moving on its own.

It eventually disappears from sight.

Then reappears a minute later...

...in a completely different location.

Finally, the ball of light

vanishes again, this time for good.

What on earth did Fernando just witness?

This is nuts.

This is not a phenomenon that we see often.

This looks like fire, red glowing fire,

moving seemingly of its own volition

through and on top of this forested landscape.

It's not just a flaming ball of light.

It's like a flaming ball of light

encased in like, a diamond light.

You see like, not only the rainbow effects

of a super bright light but inside of it,

it's like this molten lava, like, flame.

It's a ball of fire.

There's no doubt about that,

but if it was a normal kind of flame,

wouldn't that set the tree ablaze?

As this man videotapes it and rolls down the road,

it seems to be changing location along with him.

A fire literally just can't do that.

It's hard to say what's happening here.

It looks like a ball of fire exploring a forest.

Sounds bizarre.

But not if you're familiar with Brazilian folklore.

I lived briefly in Brazil and this calls to mind

the Boogeyman-like stories of the Boitata

that was told to children.

It was said that this was this great fire serpent

that protected the forests from intruders.

Intruders that sought to burn it down.

Now, if this is aBoitata,

that would make sense

because it would be tracking him,

ensuring that he is not an invader

that seeks to do harm to the forest.

And this concept of a natural guardian

is more common than you might think.

Cross-culturally, we see this belief

in elemental creatures,

creatures that are based in water, fire,

earth, or air.

And every culture expresses this differently

but they often emerge in animal forms.

Water creatures often are described as horses.

Fire creatures almost always are described

as some sort of serpent.

Now, if this is a fire elemental

that is taking the form of the snake

or some other serpentine creature

and has been seen by people,

maybe the first person who came up with the legend

of the Boitata saw not a fire snake

but an elemental.

And if that sounds farfetched to you,

maybe you should take another look.

I do believe that myths, legends,

they have a kernel of truth.

They have that as their core.

And this clearly to me is showing us

that maybe this legend is true,

we are seeing something that does not make sense

that should not be,

but clearly we are watching this on this video.

Coming up.

A couple in California is baffled

by a mysterious immobile object in the sky.

When you live near a military base,

there are certain happenings

that you're probably pretty used to.

Low flying jets, loud sounds,

strange weapons testing at odd hours.

But there are some things

that those living near a military base

will most likely never get used to.

Visits from alien life forms.

Just ask one couple from California

who filmed this from their patio

over a nearby military base

and believed it could be extraterrestrial.

March 17th, 2021

in Oceanside, California,

it's 6:30 p.m. and Brandi and Jesse Wales

are getting ready to enjoy a pleasant California sunset

when, from their patio,

they see something in the sky that fascinates them.

A black object completely immobile.

Brandi and Jesse are baffled.

Hi, I'm Brandi.

I'm Jesse.

And we are the ones that captured these videos.

My first reaction was that's weird

and just trying to figure out, you know,

could it be a, maybe, like a helicopter

or something like that but, no.

After a little while, no.

I was there for hours.

Even when the sun went down, you could still see it

sitting there in the sky.

I didn't even know what to think about it?

Like, I was, like...

I don't know, I was...

It was strange and I was confused.

I don't know.

I don't know how to even explain it.

We have an object obviously there.

We can see it clear as day,

solid, dark, triangular object

that is just hanging in the sky.

It almost looks like a black chess piece

that is suspended in the air.

There are no wings.

It's not moving. It's stationary.

Generally, objects in the sky

are going someplace,

whether they're floating or whether they're flying,

they're not stationary.

This thing is completely still

for a very, very long period of time.

For me, I got to actually see it through a set of binos

and when I looked through it,

it looked, kind of, like, a pyramid

and it looked like it had like,

there was a bunch of etchings and stuff on it.

It looked like it was stone with like,

big carvings all over it.

His description of seeing this craft

and having a pyramid shape with inscriptions on it

makes my mind think of Egypt and hieroglyphics,

but there's also several videos that we've looked at

which involved this pyramid shaped UFOs,

one over Russia

and one over these different locations.

Are we looking at a similar craft

or maybe one of these crafts that had been filmed before?

Tough to say.

But like the other pyramid-shaped UFOs,

this one was also hovering

over a government fortress,

Camp Pendleton.

I'm actually a former Marine.

I was in Camp Pendleton for eight years.

That's what I was trying to go through in my head

and try to figure out, "Okay.

What are all the different helos,

different rotors that I know,

any aircraft that can sit and, you know,

hover in one spot"

and I went through them all.

There's none that I can remember.

Living nearby at the 29 Palms Military Base,

if they were gonna be doing any sort of testing,

I would get an email in my inbox

or a text message on my phone,

the heads up that this was gonna happen.

If this some form of extraterrestrial craft,

I think the reason why it's hovering

in and around Camp Pendleton

is because it's keeping tabs of what the military is up to.

Jesse is thinking along the same lines.

I just think with the way the craft looked,

it'd probably be extraterrestrial,

just, kind of, you know, checking things out,

you know, "What are you guys doing?"

You know, checking out capabilities and stuff

just like anybody would scout anybody else.

Military, extraterrestrial,

or otherwise,

one thing is for sure,

it's unnerving.

I think it's scary. It, kind of, bothers me.

I look at that same spot almost like every day.

When I open my windows, I look at the same spot

to see if, "Did it come back?"

Like, I look around,

I don't see anything but, yeah.

I always looked out there to see

if it's out there again.

Coming up.

An otherworldly substance

surrounds a couple in California.

Oh, my... What?

Oh, my... What?

I'm getting sick of this now.

I want you to leave.

As bizarre as most paranormal experiences are...

the majority of them can at least be categorized.

Whoa.

Now, did you see what I'm talking about?

Light anomalies.

Poltergeists.

Sea monsters.

Weird goo.

There's some kind of jelly fungus here.

But every now and then...

something shows up that is simply

too out there to label.

Take it from a couple in California

who witnessed something so mystifying

they still can't explain it.

It's like... Oh, my... What?

Oh, my... What?

July 3rd, 2021

in San Ramon, California.

All day, Scott Brooks and Bear Matoza

had been seeing strange objects in the sky...

and it's weirding them out.

- I'm Scott. - I'm Bear.

And this is the video that we filmed.

We had been noticing what looked like plastic bags

and I said, "You know what, Scott,

let's go look because if there's some bin

that's open that these plastic bags

are flying through the air like that.

Let's go close it."

But when they catch up to the objects,

they saw flying through the air.

Scott and Bear soon realized

that they aren't plastic bags

and they begin to film.

Mmm, can somebody please explain to me

what is going on?

Watch.

As strange tumbling masses...

Um...

should I, like, introduce myself?

...that resemble small clouds

but clearly aren't move about the parking lot.

Scott and Bear get back in their truck

and keep filming,

beginning to get a little concerned.

Oh.

- God. - Is that even

- in front of my truck? - Oh, my God.

All of a sudden, this thing the sizes of our truck...

is following the truck.

Oh my... What?

Oh my... What?

And I'm going, "What is going on?"

This is bizarre.

Bizarre indeed.

Hello.

This is not something you see every day.

What the heck is this thing?

It's hard to figure out what's going on here.

It can't be clouds but they're as light as clouds

but they roll as if they're some

kind of actual physical material.

They're touching the ground and sort of rolling along

it like weightless tumbleweeds.

It almost looks like...

like soap bubbles,

but really, really big and really, really dense.

But even the edges seem to stay pretty firm.

They bounce along through this parking lot

and they don't fall apart.

I literally have no idea what this is.

I can't even begin to guess.

And my mind went to, "What is this

that the government accidentally released

into the sky?"

Oh my... What?

Oh my... What?

When people document weirdness,

I think increasingly people are willing

to embrace a paranormal explanation or...

they believe that the government is behind it.

But assuming it's not from the government,

where could it be from?

Is it perhaps some of the toxic foam

that has been reported in certain areas of the world?

Or maybe it is actually an alien entity

cloaking itself as a cloud

and doing a really bad job at it?

If that's the case,

it wouldn't be the first time

they've tried something like this.

Man, that's crazy.

I ain't never seen... You seen one of them before?

I know some ufologists suggest

that UFOs do use clouds

or will take on the guise of a cloud

to travel unseen to the human eye.

And so could this be some form of UFO

using disguise but in a very peculiar manner

that's already calling attention to itself,

so therefore kind of defeats the purpose

when you're like an odd cloud

in the middle of a cement parking lot.

We may never know for sure

what these things are

because Bear and Scott make a decision that night

based on their whereabouts.

Our location was military base,

military base, military base.

So I'm like I'm not going near anything.

Something floating around military bases

is probably not a good idea to go poke at it.

Suffice it to say,

Bear and Scott are comfortable

letting the mystery be.

More questions than answers,

but it sparked our curiosity for paranormal

by just witnessing something that close.

Oh my... What?

Oh, my... What?

What should you do in the event

you witness something paranormal?

It's just, like, suspended.

Yeah.

Here are some tips to get it all on camera.

Check your footage and then check it again.

Always be aware of your surroundings.

Whoa.

Ow..

Know when the threat is over

and when it's not.

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

onParanormal Caught On Camera.
