Next on Paranormal Caught on Camera.

A ghost hunter in West Virginia...

We'll see what...

...receives a clear message from beyond.

I think anytime that you deal with something like this, it's demonic.

A doll collection in Ohio...

...comes to life.

Something was definitely trying to get 'em out of there.

I just don't know what.

A former witches' den in Canada...

Dude, I heard that.

...is visited by an evil entity.

I was blown away and scared

because knowing that whatever that was

was around the entire time while we were there.

Is a couple in Virginia...

Oh, my God, I'm shaking.

Oh, my God.

...the target of UFOs?

They're above our house.

I will say it gave us this fear, like they're...

they're watching you.

And even more paranormal footage

you have to see...

...to believe.

When we think of haunted locations,

they're usually places full of death and despair...

like a cemetery, an abandoned church or an old rotting prison.

But hauntings can also occur in everyday places,

where day in, day out we live our lives and imprint our energy.

Even a place as brightly lit as this nondescript office in West Virginia,

where somewhere between the break room and reception,

a demon is lurking.

Winter, 2021. Princeton, West Virginia.

The employees of a local office

are experiencing strange and unsettling activity in their workplace.

So paranormal enthusiast Cody Church

is brought in to investigate for a couple of weeks after hours.

My name's Cody Church and these are my videos,

and I'm actually sitting in the office where I filmed the videos.

Weird stuff had been happening,

like people feeling like they weren't alone and things like that.

Even one of the owners,

she felt uncomfortable being here by themself.

I'll start again tomorrow, maybe,

and we'll see what...

Cody hopes to find some answers for them.

During the investigation,

he is able to monitor the office's security camera system.

And he also sets up a few of his own cameras to cover any gaps.

Incredibly, over the first few nights,

he catches some startling activity...

from the break room...

To one of the offices.

This is a really intense set of clips

because we see what starts off as indicators of sort of a typical,

if we can use that word in these circumstances,

haunting, where objects are moving,

doors are opening and closing and a chair is spinning.

But that is nothing compared

to what Cody catches a few days later while alone in the office

making a video update for social media.

Watch closely.

I'm just tired, you know,

there's absolutely nothing here this time.

Did you catch that?

Watch again, in slow motion.

Right behind him is what looks like a female form with pale skin,

sunken dark eyes and long hair hanging over her face.

This is top-shelf creepy, creepy stuff.

I gasped out loud because this is not an office worker.

This is not someone who's employed in this place, obviously.

Cody doesn't see the face,

until shortly after he posts the video.

It was actually one of my Tik Tok followers that first told me was like,

"You're not alone." And I was still here.

Freaked out,

Cody runs to the security camera room to check all of the feeds.

And that's when he discovers something,

even more distressing.

Keep your eyes on the dark corner of the office,

as what appears to be a ghostly white face swirls next to the desk.

We clearly see motion here, it's a large form,

and it looks like it is lurking in the corner, in the shadows,

and yet the motion sensor doesn't pick it up.

It almost looked like it was stepping through the doorway

and stepping back in, stepping through, then stepping back in.

I found myself thinking it looks like

an apparition attempting to emerge into our world

or into our dimension from somewhere else,

but sort of constantly being pulled back in.

Did you see that? It disappeared.

I'm going over.

Cautiously, he heads to the office.

Let's do it.

Listen again, as an otherworldly,

guttural scream...

...ends Cody's investigation for the night.

Uh, I'm not going to do this by myself.

It almost sounds like a metal band scream with a woman's voice.

What on earth was that?

That sounds like a demonic presence.

It sounds like a, like a demon from another dimension or something.

I think any time that you deal with something like this, it's demonic.

I usually don't get intimidated or really afraid,

but actually got up and just left.

But... the following week,

he musters up the courage to return and complete the investigation.

This time, with his good friend, Eric.

And while Eric stands in the doorway of the office,

where Cody heard that terrifying scream...

Then the door shut in my face and Eric got kind of spazzed out.

I think this was his first time

actually seeing something like that happen.

When that door shut between Cody and his friend,

Eric, it was to me a message that it didn't want either of them there.

It... it was using that door as a way to say,

"Hey, it's time to go."

And if that message isn't clear enough,

just moments later, something gives an encore.

!

That's when you get out, that's when it's time to go.

It was one of those jump scare moments 'cause,

like, I really wasn't expecting it.

And honestly,

the first thing that I thought about,

"Man, if they come around that corner, we're dead."

Leave!

The otherworldly scream once again ends

Cody's investigation for the night.

And Cody has some advice

for anyone dealing with a haunt like this.

If you ever have something like this going on in your home,

uh, go to the church and get the church to come in and pray.

!

Coming up, a collection of dolls...

Dude...

...comes alive.

Psychic residue, simply put,

is human energy, which remains long after the person is gone.

It's sometimes so powerful that it's absorbed

by the objects surrounding us.

And when those objects get passed down

from generation to generation, that psychic residue builds,

enabling the object...to take on a life of its own.

Just ask one man in Ohio,

whose wife's antique doll collection seems to be...

living proof.

May 2020, Middletown, Ohio.

Chad Gassert is at home watching TV when he hears a strange,

ticking sound...

coming from the cabinet next to him,

the cabinet containing his wife's porcelain doll collection.

Hello, my name is Chad Gassert,

and I'm the one that shot the video.

I was actually home alone and...

I've heard, I've heard it before,

like the ticking on the glass, it's straight out of a movie,

you know, somebody that taps on a glass.

So it's kind of creepy.

I decided to just jump up and start recording.

But before he's even able to press record,

he sees one of the dolls... move.

And it happens again,

this time on camera.

Watch again, in slow motion,

as a large doll moves toward the glass and taps it.

Chad hightails it out of the house.

I kind of got like a chill through my body,

like, you know, cold chill.

I went outside, took a breath and thinking,

you know, this... this really just happened.

And what's even more chilling,

when Chad reviews the footage,

he notices after the doll moves forward,

it then moves back to its original position,

all on its own.

It actually looks like it leans and then goes right back into place.

That kind of did it for me, too.

When it leaned, you know, it should have just stayed there.

It shouldn't have just moved right back into place.

And that's not all.

When Chad comes back inside, he begins to record again,

trying to make sense of what happened.

Guys, I'm literally the only one that's here right now.

My wife is gone.

Oh, my God, dude.

Watch again, as the second doll...

moves on its own.

This time, Chad checks out for good.

As soon as that happened,

I had to pull away from that one.

So I left for a little bit.

I drove around, whatever, went and visited family.

I really didn't want to come back here at that time.

He finally tells his wife he will come back home

only under one condition...

they move the dolls.

So the dolls are no longer there.

They're just locked up in a spare bedroom.

I moved the entire case into bedroom.

If I had these dolls in my home,

either I wouldn't be in that home anymore

or they wouldn't be in that home anymore.

I do think that these dolls are asking for something,

they're moving, they're leaning.

They are making it obvious that they are trapped in this small space.

Seems to me they want to be untrapped.

Something like a doll that is supposed to be lifeless,

it's supposed to be nonexistent...

and to see not just one of these dolls move,

but several of them together in this little container of this glass,

uh, was one of the creepiest things I've seen.

I've asked my wife and she wanted to get rid of 'em.

No. I mean, I understand because her grandma made them when she was a baby.

And with such a personal 30-year family history,

perhaps activity like this is almost to be expected.

In general, we interact with dolls physically,

we're handling them constantly

and it is said that we imbue them with a psychic residue.

Then when you consider an antique doll that has been passed down,

that's multiple people over time that have interacted with this thing.

So maybe there is a lot of energy connected to it.

There could also be a spirit attachment to that doll

that used to be a living, breathing person.

So maybe that could be the reason

why we see that object kind of moving is

because this is the energy grasping to hold the doll with...

out having an actual body.

Whatever happened in the Gassert household,

Chad's vowed to move on, even while the dolls stay put.

They're still in the glass case.

I haven't, I haven't touched it since we've moved.

It was, it was creepy, I'm not going to lie about that.

But as far as, you know,

living in this house or whatever,

it hasn't really changed much.

Coming up, a fleet of UFOs...

- They are here. - Oh, my God.

...stalks a couple in Virginia.

God, what the is this?

- Oh, my God. - Oh, my God, I'm shaking.

In 2007, in Suffolk, Virginia,

Terrell Copeland stood with his eyes to the sky.

Something otherworldly was pulsating over the former Marine's head.

But this was no ordinary UFO sighting.

After the encounter, Terrell claimed he lost blocks of time.

Some even say his body was forever changed,

leading many to believe Terrell had been abducted by aliens.

Whatever happened that night, it put Suffolk,

Virginia, on the UFO map,

and that location is blinking red once again.

Holy.

Guys, there's aliens... - What?

...in Suffolk.

July 2021, Suffolk, Virginia.

George and Hillary Stewart are in for the night,

when George spots something unusual out the window.

Hello, I'm George Stewart, and this is my wife,

Hillary Stewart, and we're the ones that own this video.

I was sitting on the couch and I was watching TV.

We have a little window right by our television.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a fireball in the sky.

I grabbed my phone and I ran outside.

I'm running right behind him just to find out what the heck is going on.

And as soon as she steps outside...

Oh,.

...she does find out.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

We got aliens out here, guys. - Oh, my God.

- It's one of them. - I know.

Holy.

A cluster of oddly-spaced,

pulsating lights moving across the sky,

right toward their house.

- There's aliens... - What?

...in Suffolk.

From what we could see with our own eyes,

they were a yellow orange-ish kind of color,

kind of like a fireball.

There was probably between like five or seven,

like, in a group in that formation,

but they kept coming one by one

and just they kept coming.

I'm having a weird... There's more coming.

- There's more. - There's more coming.

Oh, my God.

Guys, what the is this?

- Oh, my God! - Oh, my God, I'm shaking.

- I'm shaking. - Oh, my God!

And when a few of the lights begin to blink out,

right over the Stewarts' home, they start to fear the worst.

This is not normal. They turned their lights out, babe.

Babe, they turned their lights out.

Yeah, but you could still see them, like they're not really...

They're right above our house.

I will say it gave us this fear,

like they can... they're watching you.

That is the most terrifying thing I've ever seen in my life.

My... my heart hurt. - Yeah.

I...I literally felt like I was having a heart attack.

Guys,, they're above the house.

They're moving around.

They're above the house.

My heart is racing. Oh, I don't like this.

What the-- Okay, I think we need to go inside.

But before running for cover,

they run to the neighbor's house...

...to confirm what they are seeing.

- There's UFOs. - Look.

And their neighbors are just as freaked out as George and Hillary.

Dude, there was like 20 of these things.

crazy..

But we are freaking the out. - UFOs.

- UFOs, bro. - Wow.

There's an unmistakable pattern of a series of lights in the sky,

blinking in and out of visibility.

But what's really compelling for me is the reaction of the witnesses.

-There's more coming. - There's more.

There's more coming. Oh, my God!

This is not something they are used to seeing in the skies above their home.

They are here.

Oh, my God!

At first, I thought that these lights in the sky

might just be something as simple as sky lanterns.

But when the couple says that they can still see them after their lights go out...

They turned their lights out, you could still see 'em.

A sky lantern, when the flame burns out, uh,

it falls out of the sky.

crazy..

But we are freaking the out.

UFOs. UFOs, bro.

Clearly, George has a very strong idea about what he's seeing.

I feel like these things are not from here.

I feel that way.

If these lights are extraterrestrial in nature,

then why would they be presenting themselves so obviously to us?

Maybe the frightened reaction of these eyewitnesses is precisely why.

I feel like they're watching us still.

Oh, there's another one, there's another one. - What?

There's another one.

If indeed, they do see this couple filming them

and turn their lights off so that they're more obscured,

this could be considered a soft first contact.

Oh, my God.

He's above our house right now. It's hard to see.

What the.

Contact or not, George and Hillary are deeply unsettled.

I got a bad feeling.

It's just that feeling that just...

it won't go away.

I have heard of people who have had a bad experience...

I'm shaking. I feel like they're watching us still.

...where that bad feeling has stayed with them for years sometimes.

Time will tell how this sighting will affect George and Hillary long-term.

But it has forever changed the way they see the sky.

When I go outside, I look up.

I look up now like all the time

because I feel like they're still watching me,

- if that makes any sense. - Yeah.

I still feel like they're there.

- There's aliens... - What?

...in Suffolk.

Coming up, what invisible entity is moving this blanket?

An imaginary friend is a normal,

healthy part of childhood.

Unless, of course,

that invisible playmate

is actually...

a ghost...

and in particular,

a ghost that absorbs energy from the living in order to manifest in our realm.

That's what might be happening to one couple from Texas,

whose youngest daughter's playtime...has become their living nightmare.

August 2020, Houston, Texas.

For about a year,

Celsa Rundle and John Farrell have been experiencing

paranormal activity in their home,

exploding light bulbs, strange whispers...

and perhaps most disturbingly,

flickers of phenomena around the home,

some of which only their three-year-old daughter can see.

My name is Celsa Rundle.

My name is John Farrell.

And this is our video.

We have two kids.

Our oldest daughter is Elena Morrow,

and she's ten, and we have our second daughter,

Ariana Sky Farrell.

And Ariana, she's only three,

but she can talk and she can tell me what's going on.

And she would always say there's somebody in her bedroom.

So it was like really creepy.

Disturbed, but not wanting to scare the girls,

Celsa and John play it cool,

until their oldest daughter, Elena,

who was nine at the time,

starts having trouble sleeping.

Elena kept saying,

"Mom, something's bothering me at night.

I can feel something like trying to wake me up or trying to tickle me."

And that scared me, too.

And Celsa gets even more scared

when she checks the security camera installed

in the girl's bedroom and sees this.

The blanket on the bed is moving on its own,

tugged hard enough to disrupt the sleeping girl.

There's no fans in her bedroom,

and there's nothing that could have made that happen or made that move.

Yeah, there's no windows.

So we were, we were just looking at it like,

"What is that?"

Two weeks later, it happens again,

but this time while Elena's younger sister,

Ariana, two at the time, is playing in the room.

And on this night,

the blanket on Elena doesn't stop moving.

She couldn't move her legs in the fashion that the blanket moved

because either she wasn't tall enough

because they were at the end or else you could tell her legs

were over to one side.

I'm looking at that child sleep in the bed,

and in order to move even your foot in the slightest way,

you'd be shifting your hips, your legs, your knees.

The bed would move, the blanket would shift.

But we're not seeing that.

The child is absolutely dead asleep.

There's something else manipulating it.

Even spookier, while the blanket moves,

Ariana seems to be speaking to someone...

who isn't there.

The fact that the two-year-old actually hands her phone

to what looks like nothing to our eyes.

She holds it out as though passing it off to someone else or showing it to someone else.

That really seems to highlight that she seems to think

there is someone or something else in that room.

To her, there was somebody else with her.

It was nerve-wracking.

I... it was a very scary feeling.

It doesn't seem like this little girl is particularly frightened

by whatever she's speaking with...

...which suggests to me that she's familiar with it.

She's used to seeing this thing.

And that's not all that unusual.

It seems like there are a lot of kids that speak

to what we dismiss as an imaginary friend.

But what if those friends are not so imaginary,

they're just unseen by us, grown-ups?

And what if what it's doing is not so harmless?

I thought it was very odd

that the sleeping sibling wasn't moving at all.

And what we could be witnessing here

is in order for the spirit to manifest

for the other girl to see in a way and have a communication,

maybe the spirit is pulling energy from the sleeping child

and maybe she's not able to really wake up.

Maybe she's feeling drained because of that energy

that's being literally sucked out of her.

Terrifying.

After a few more disturbing incidents,

the family makes a dramatic decision.

Elena came in our bedroom

and said that somebody had threw a book out of her closet,

not just like it fell out of the top shelf,

but it threw a book, like phew!

Unfortunately,

whatever it is they are trying to get away from seems to move with them.

When we moved out of that house,

it was here and we're like, "No!"

But we could never catch it live,

but we saw it after watching the cameras.

A lot of the time when there are spirit attachments,

it doesn't matter whether or not you move to a different space

because those energies will follow you.

At this point, Celsa and John,

determined to figure out what it is,

are taking it day by day.

I kind of want to see now.

I kind of want to check into it a little bit.

Yeah, it's... it's like opened our eyes to the,

to the paranormal world, I guess.

Coming up, a ritual in Canada...

What do you want?

...summons a powerful force.

- What happened? - I don't know.

- I felt like pushed. - Slow down.

Oh, my God.

There's magic and then there's "magick" with a K.

The age-old practice of summoning

and directing energy toward a specific purpose or goal,

like the casting of a spell.

But users beware,

because practicing a ritual like

this can sometimes summon something evil...

...which is what may have happened

to two Canadian investigators...

Dude, I heard that.

...when they found themselves suddenly...

under attack.

November 2021, Northern Manitoba, Canada.

Paranormal investigators,

Jordyn Penner and Johnny Wiebe,

are drawn to a remote hunting cabin in the woods

that local lore says... was once a witches' lair.

Hi, I'm Jordyn Penner. And I'm Johnny Wiebe.

And we shot these videos.

We learned that there was witchcraft

and necromancy being practiced in that cabin.

There were some, like,

strange occurrences that were happening around, so...

That's kind of what sparked the interest for us.

The pair divide their investigation into two nights.

Night one, armed with handheld cameras, rempods,

and a device with preprogramed words

that spirits can communicate with.

They begin exploring the cabin and calling out to any spirits around.

Are we talking to a witch?

It doesn't take long to get a response.

Soul.

Dude, I heard that.

Something is in this cabin,

and it's doing a lot more...

than just making noise.

Everything was turned around, the flashlight was swinging,

the coffee table was moved over two,

three feet away from me in the kitchen.

Holy.

You can see that the guitar was completely flipped around in its spot.

Look at that, it wasn't like that.

The movement of this guitar is really quite drastic.

We see it facing forward,

and as soon as they turn their backs to exit the room,

you hear a lot of commotion.

They turn around and then that guitar is turned backwards.

I have a bad feeling in here, dude.

And the strange activity doesn't stop there.

Oh, my God!

Oh, man. I'm freaking out.

Oh!

!

Oh, my God.

Holy.

Oh, man.

So, Jordyn and Johnny make a bold decision.

An attempt to communicate

using a little ritual magic of their own.

Jordyn is blindfolded and surrounded by a circle of salt.

You can speak with Jordyn,

but you cannot cross the salt circle.

The whole idea of a salt circle is a protection circle

used by witches when they cast a circle of protection.

But to be honest,

if he becomes the conduit channeling those energies,

that salt circle is not going to protect him

because he's turning himself into a giant battery

that's channeling all this information.

A chair is placed outside the circle,

an invitation for spirits to join them.

A rempod is placed on the chair.

Come sit in this chair.

Coming.

Oh, man.

They're here.

The place was used for witchcraft and rituals,

so there could be some kind of attachment left to the building.

It's not just things being tossed around a room,

it seems to be there.

It wants to kind of communicate with them somehow.

What do you want?

What it wants during the ritual is unclear,

that is until the next night.

When a static camera on the first floor catches

what could be the manifestation of the spirit

they were communicating with. Watch.

That shadow that we see in the doorway was extremely creepy,

and it seemed to behave in a strange fashion,

almost unhuman-like and maybe more like

something that would be considered demonic.

And possibly something that could cause some serious harm,

because not long after...

Oh, man.

Oh, my God. Did you hear that?

That bang at the door?

- What happened? - I don't know.

- I felt like pushed. - Slow down.

Oh, my God.

Johnny is dropped by an unseen force.

It almost felt like a sweep of the legs from behind.

It was terrifying.

- Oh, my God. - Did you slip?

I don't know, it felt like I got pushed.

I thought he fell and I felt it get cold in the cabin right away.

And like, I went and saw and was like,

sure enough, the door was open and he's on the ground.

Was the door open before or after you fell?

I don't know, man.

It could have been that Johnny had this moment

where he walked straight into a line of energy as it was manifesting.

That's why you see the door opening as it did,

and he could have straight up walked through this entity as it was coming in at him.

Whatever's happening here...

...and whether or not it has anything to do with the ritual...

They're here.

...it's enough to end Jordyn

and Johnny's investigation for good.

- Holy! - Oh, my God!

And they have a warning about that cabin.

Oh, my God.

Whether it is a witch or a spirit summoned by the witch or not,

I think there's definitely something happening there

and it's a good thing that it's so secluded

because it could be dangerous for other people

who might be unsuspecting when they stumble across it.

Coming up, what kind of creature can walk through fire?

Fire, one of the most powerful

and destructive elements on Earth.

A force so strong,

it has been celebrated on a godlike level in almost

every culture around the world.

And if not handled with care,

can lay waste to just about everything it touches.

Or so we think.

Because recently, a man in Mexico captured something on camera

that not only seems unafraid of fire,

it can walk right through it.

September, 2021.

Sonora, Mexico.

A man is out walking late at night

when he spots a small but raging fire between a car and a home and starts to film.

Then something remarkable happens.

Watch...

as a childlike figure emerges within the flames...

and casually walks through them.

How can this be?

WTF.

I mean, what is this?

It's so brief, but it is so compelling.

We see very clearly

a human like figure emerge within the flames.

This is truly mind-bending.

It's this inky black figure,

and it appears to be about the size of a child.

But there's something wrong about it.

Obviously, a child can't be standing in this roaring fire.

This was totally bizarre.

We know for a fact that no human can walk through a fire

like that and survive.

But if not a human, what exactly are we seeing here?

The world is full of belief in fire creatures,

fire lizards, fire elementals,

spirits that are made of flame,

that move through the world as flame.

There is nothing to say that elemental spirits

cannot take on the shape of a human being for the sake of making contact.

Maybe this is something that's demonic

or from that realm where it can emerge from the fire,

because something clearly walks out of this

as if it's come through some sort of doorway.

If perhaps this is just a trick of the eye, and that's a child standing

between the camera and the flames.

It still doesn't behave the way you would think a child would.

Being in such close proximity to a roaring fire,

I think most people would be a little more cautious not to get burned.

Unless, of course,

whatever this is can't feel the fire.

Wouldn't it be strange if this creature was there the entire time,

invisible, and whatever caused the fire caused it to reveal itself,

perhaps caused it to become visible that the flame

in some way interacted with its molecules to literally char it

so that the human eye could detect it.

Anything's possible,

but whatever it was seemed to disappear with the fire,

meaning the mystery will remain, at least for now.

What should you do in the event you witness something paranormal?

Here are some tips to get it all on camera.

Never stop recording...

We got aliens out here, guys.

...even if you're scared.

Oh, my God, I'm shaking.

Trust that what you're seeing really is otherworldly.

This just moved, dude.
