Next on Paranormal Caught on Camera...

A news crew covering a fatal crash in Brazil

captures a childlike ghost among the wreckage.

This is classic roadside ghost creepy.

A surreal sighting...

...baffles a couple in Scotland.

It looks like a hooded person floating across the sky.

A ghost hunter in Florida...

Look. Look, look, look. Holy!

...wears out his welcome.

Whatever is in this building,

it's trying to tell him to get out of here.

A small spirit manifests inside a shower in Oklahoma.

Hello. It was scary.

I just felt something staring at me.

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

No, that wasn't a car.

Oh, my God.

...to believe.

A former rec center for children,

might be the last place you'd expect to be haunted.

After all, most of the energy bouncing around those walls

is youthful and exuberant.

But what happens when it's shut down and left abandoned?

And another type of element with a different

and decidedly negative energy moves in.

Some believe the combination of those two opposing forces

can beget a powerful, other-worldly tension

creating a portal-like vacuum, ripe for a takeover by something very, very dark.

Recently, a ghost hunter in Florida went to such a place.

It's moving. It's moving. Okay.

And found out, first hand.

Look. Look, look, look. Holy.

December 2019, near Tampa, Florida.

Urban explorer Chris Lamia is at an abandoned rec center that's believed to be haunted.

His goal is to remain inside alone for 30 minutes.

Phew! I'm going to see what we can get into here.

My name is Chris Lamia and this is my video.

I remember going through the entry doors

and it just gave that really cold feeling.

And it's no wonder, the former safe haven for children

is now totally trashed.

Oh. Wow, this is a mess.

After it shut down, I believe it just turned into a drug den

and there was a lot of prostitution stuff

going on in there and it was just...

it just turned into just pure evil.

And after just six minutes of Chris poking around...

...something begins to rear its head.

Hello? Oh, my goodness.

It's a table. The table turned over.

Hello?

When the table flipped, I heard it flip from the other side of the room.

And right away, any time you hear any kind of bang,

your adrenaline pumps and you just run toward it,

first thing you think if somebody's there messing with you.

Whoever or whatever flipped the table,

is just getting started.

Look. Look, look, look. Holy. Holy.

When you see that shelf move,

I think that's something that you have to realize,

it takes a lot of energy to do that

and you're dealing with something

that might be a lot stronger than you think.

Stronger and extremely aggressive.

All right. What are you trying to tell me, buddy?

I call you buddy because I'm scared to death right now.

Whatever that was, hit me right in the head.

You're getting objects thrown at your head.

This is intense.

All right, there's something definitely evil here.

It seems to me some kind of poltergeist activity.

Whatever is in this building is trying to communicate with this guy.

It's trying to tell him to get out of here.

You don't belong here.

Holy crap. That hurt.

But Chris is almost halfway

through the challenge and determined to go the distance.

So this place is no joke, guys.

Then, unbeknownst to Chris,

his camera's microphone picks up a message

right before another act of violence.

Listen closely.

That...

Listen again.

As the words "Feel the pain" can be heard

right before the wire rack goes flying across the room,

literally stunning Chris.

If I were Chris, I would probably get out of there at that point.

Having that EVP that says "Feel the pain"

immediately followed by the shelf being thrown.

That is a very direct correlation.

And it feels pretty threatening.

This is dangerous. All right.

So this place is really dangerous.

Seven minutes to go and it shows no sign of stopping.

Well, you've got my attention.

I wish you'd tell me why you're so angry.

But what could be doing this and why so upset?

The history of this location seems to give us a clue about

why it might have such strong activity.

This used to be a place designed to give children somewhere to be,

somewhere to be safe, somewhere to interact and play.

And once it was abandoned, it became a place of violence, a place of crime.

And that contrast between those two different lives

that this building lived really seems to illustrate

where some of the tension, some of that...

that riled up energy of this place is coming from.

What the hell... was that?

What the... Look, look.

How the is this happening?

Running out of options,

Chris tries to lighten the mood.

Well, at least that couldn't hurt me. I appreciate that.

But just short of his 30-minute goal and fearing for his safety...

...he calls it quits.

I'm done. I'm done. I'm out of here.

Regardless, his experience at the abandoned rec center

hasn't curtailed his passion for urban exploring.

It's like a roller coaster.

You... you just want to get back on it.

You say you never will, but you get right back on it

because that adrenaline just keeps you coming back for more.

It's an addiction.

Look. Look, look, look. Holy...

Coming up, the site of a deadly car crash

reveals the ghost of a child in Brazil.

There are certain highways that rank among the most deadly.

Some are due to hazardous conditions, such as ice and snow.

Others are poorly maintained or have dangerous curves.

And then there are those believed to be cursed or haunted.

Just ask a cameraman, who seems to have captured

proof of one in Brazil.

May 30th, 2016, near Campo Grande, Brazil.

It's around 2:00 a.m.

A news crew is on the scene of a fatal car crash on Highway 262.

Laudney Pereira Dos Santos is the cameraman filming the aftermath.

My name is Laudney, and this is my video.

Filming a deadly car crash is no doubt unsettling,

but Laudney manages to gather the needed footage without being too disturbed.

That is, until he starts to edit it back at the office and sees this.

Watch closely.

As the face of a young child appears inside the wrecked car,

Laudney is stunned.

The space is really quite chilling

because you can distinguish features and they look young.

We can see eyes, we can see nose, we can see mouth

and even hair, but it's a very small head.

This is classic roadside ghost creepy.

We have a spot on a road that is known for car accidents.

It's the middle of the night. It's the side of the road.

There would not be a child here.

This must be paranormal.

Even more chilling is two years prior to this accident,

an eight-year-old boy died when a similar looking silver truck

crashed on that same stretch of highway.

I think that his spirit might have been left behind.

Maybe he's conscious and confused, but without a physical being.

And so when he sees something so familiar,

like the last moments of his life, a crash with the silver truck,

it's attractive to this boy's spirit

because he's trying to piece together what happened to him.

Is it simply revisiting the scene of its own death?

Or perhaps it's there as a guardian

or as a spirit who will help

cross over the newly deceased?

Maybe, especially as there are apparently

so many recently deceased people at this location, which begs the question.

Could this stretch of road be cursed?

Cursed highways are nothing new or unique to Brazil.

There are roads everywhere, certainly all across the United States,

that have a reputation for being, not just prone to accidents,

but prone to unexplained wrecks.

It's like, why would somebody go careening off the road

in this specific location if there isn't anything wrong

with the engineering of the road?

Or are the unexplained wrecks due to something else?

It's been known that highways can be haunted.

And so let's say someone's driving late at night and they see

what looks to be a little boy walking in the road.

They veer off the road so erratically as to not hit the child,

only to cause their own demise.

And I wonder if the spirits of those

who have died on this road are the ones causing the crashes,

perpetuating the haunts on the highway.

But if so, then why didn't Laudney

or the others see the ghost that night?

I just keep on seeing evidence of cameras

having this ability to pick up on spirits and entities

where we are not able to see them with the naked eye.

There seems to be either this element of the spectrum

that they are living or residing in that we just can't pick up on,

but our cameras and our technology has this ability to see them.

Laudney hasn't figured out how or why the image appeared,

but it's undoubtedly one of the most compelling news stories of his career.

Coming up, what other-worldly craft

blew past a couple's apartment in Scotland?

Not all UFOs... are created equal.

Some look like those portrayed in sci-fi movies.

Others put on a brazen light show.

Oh, wow. Just changed angles.

It got lit up, it's lit up, it's lit up!

And then there are those

that try to keep a lower profile.

But perhaps the most confounding of all are the UFOs

that appear in a humanoid form.

Such was the case in Scotland when a couple spotted something floating past them

that defies all logic.

October 2021, Glasgow, Scotland.

Lynsey Currie and her boyfriend Scott

have just noticed a bizarre object flying in the sky from the window of their flat.

Not sure what to make of it, Scott grabs his camera and starts filming.

Lynsey. Lynsey, come here. Could you turn the focus thing?

My name is Lynsey, and this is my video.

When I saw it, I thought it might be a hot air balloon or something like that,

but there was no basket or anything attached to it.

It's like too big to be a drone.

It was an unusual shape.

It's hard to kind of describe. It was strange.

It floated down.

We didn't see exactly where it landed

because as it kind of got further towards the ground, it was...

it was too dark.

So what did Lynsey and her boyfriend just witness?

To me, it almost looks like a vintage sci-fi robot

with this big clunky body and pointy head

and very stiff, tiny little arms.

Believe it or not, the first thing that came into my mind

when I saw this thing with the long coat and the cone shaped hat,

it looked like a flying medieval knight.

This UFO is one of the strangest ones I've ever seen.

Typically, we're seeing craft that are flying almost vertically

like a flying saucer or a dirigible.

And this was upright almost in the shape or form of a man standing up.

And the way it moved around, there was no signs of propulsion.

There were no signs of wings moving around.

This seemed to be just hovering and had a strange look to it.

It's almost traveling by sheer force of will.

And if will is involved then either, A,

it is intelligence that is controlling its flight path

or, B, something with intelligence is controlling it.

One thought I had was this could be a person with a jet pack.

Reports of people using jet packs are

one of the increasingly common reported,

unexplainable or sometimes even paranormal sights that we see these days.

And that was the thought I had.

It might not explain why the person is holding so still,

but it might explain that intentional trajectory that we see.

If it was somebody in a jet pack, you know,

those jet packs, they make like a high, whiny noise.

You would hear something, but there's no noise around this at all.

Good point.

But what if whatever it is doesn't need power at all,

or at least not the kind of power we have access to?

It reminds me of other clips

we've seen that look like people flying in the sky.

But every time I see this, I think less alien extraterrestrial UFO

and more like a religious sighting of some sort.

Is that Jesus Christ?

It's been well-documented in the Vatican,

even in ancient Hebrew texts, that there are these

miraculous sightings of these deities

or saints that will come and expose themselves to people,

bringing them messages or bringing them healing energies.

It sort of reminds me of some of the videos

we see from South America where you see "flying witches".

This isn't a witch, but it is flying.

Though Lynsey isn't sure exactly what this object was...

...she, too, believes that anything is possible.

I think that was quite an unusual thing.

I've not seen anything like it before,

and I don't think it's likely that I'll see anything like it again.

Coming up, a supernatural phenomenon...

Holy cow.

...spooks two friends in Arkansas.

No, that wasn't a car. - Oh, my God.

There's a remote road in Arkansas

where people have reported seeing unexplained,

eerie orbs for more than a century.

The bright lights seem to hover a few feet above the ground

and sometimes change color before vanishing.

While some think there may be an odd scientific explanation for these occurrences,

others believe they are decidedly paranormal.

Recently, two women went there to see for themselves

and left convinced that they came face-to-face with something other-worldly.

No, that wasn't a car. - Oh, my God.

Look out, Wendi.

January 2021, Crossett, Arkansas.

Best friends Wendi Sawyer and Courtney Richards

are hoping to see the unexplained phenomenon known as the Crossett Lights.

And several minutes after getting to the remote area

where they are commonly seen, it happens.

Oh, my God. I'm shaking. Look how bright it is.

You're kinda nervous.

Nervous? Yeah.

My arms are numb.

- My name is Wendi. - And my name is Courtney and this is our video.

And I don't see it out right now.

We sit there for a few minutes...

- Yes. - ...before it actually decided to come out,

but when it decided to come out, it came out in full force.

Look how... look how bright it is.

I'm getting it on my cam. - Mm-hmm.

You could feel the whole atmosphere change in the air.

It was very scary.

Wendi has seen the light

on several other occasions, but this is Courtney's first time

and she's freaked out.

Okay. Okay. All right. Time to start the car and go.

Oh, my God. It's... Oh, my God, Wendi.

- That's a car. - No, it's not.

At least start your car. I'm freaking.

At that point, she tells me, "Oh, it's a car.

It has to be a car because that light is just so bright."

I can't... Look how bright it is. Okay, start your car. Start your car.

I'm like hysterical at this point.

My body knew it was not a car.

Like, I had a visceral reaction,

and it just kept getting brighter and brighter.

Brighter and more terrifying

because Courtney is all too aware of the supposed capabilities

of this mysterious light.

From what I've heard, there has been times

where it has come through people's cars.

It has shut their engines off completely.

It will not allow you to start your vehicle at all.

Okay. Okay. All right. Time to start the car and go.

Luckily, Wendi is able to start her car.

And as she starts driving, the light behaves in a way

that confirms for both of them once and for all,

that what they are seeing is not another car.

It was not a car, Wendi.

It was coming toward us!

That came toward us and it started backing up and I'm like, I don't...

that can't be a car because why would they come toward us

and then back up all of a sudden?

- No. It wasn't a car. - Oh, my God.

Wendi. Oh, Wendi, that wasn't a car.

The video did not do it justice.

And it was one of the most surreal experiences of my whole life.

Oh, my God. Look how bright it is?

I'm getting it on my cam. - Mm-hmm.

This is a classic manifestation of a spook light.

...Wendi.

Spook light phenomena are really pretty common in the United States.

So we have the brown mountain lights in North Carolina,

the Marfa Lights in Texas.

Oh, yeah, they're going nuts.

Haunted spook lights in Joplin, Missouri.

So this is certainly not a unique phenomenon,

but the story is often very similar.

In this location, there used to be railroad tracks.

And the story that's told locally is that the light,

the ghost light that can be seen here is the lantern

carried by the ghost of a railroad worker

who lost his head and he's searching for it along the path

where the tracks used to run.

For as long as these lights of unknown origin have existed,

scientists have tried to explain them rationally.

Some have suggested phosphorescence swamp gas.

Others have said ball lightning of some kind.

But generally those explanations fall short

when you see how these lights actually behave.

Look how bright it is.

Okay. Okay. All right. Time to start the car and go.

Oh, my God.

What separates the Crossett Lights from spook lights,

willow wisps and ghost lights is the fact

that people experience electromagnetic interference

within their cars, cell phones.

I attribute that to more extraterrestrial encounter

and less of like a ghost light or spook light

or phosphorescent light encounter.

There's definitely something supernatural there that is not...

- Yeah. - ...of this world.

It was a very scary experience and it was surreal to have witnessed that.

Oh, my God.

Oh, Wendi, that wasn't a car.

Scary, but not enough to stop Courtney and Wendi

from going back the following year.

And once again.

The Crossett Lights do not disappoint.

There it is. Look at it, Courtney.

Holy cow.

Oh, my God. Okay, now I think it's time.

It is bright red.

It's always interesting once people have experienced something.

They need to feel that again.

They need to see it again to almost make sense of what they experience.

Start, Wendi. I'm having flashbacks.

When you have a taste of this,

you want to go back because you know that

there's more to life than what you're seeing with your own eyes.

- Holy cow. - Oh, my God. Okay, now I think it's time.

Coming up, a childlike entity appears

in a woman's bathroom in Oklahoma.

Hello?

The spectrum of light in our universe

expands far beyond what the human eye can perceive.

Which is why when you observe something with your naked eye,

you may not be getting the full picture.

Unless, of course...

...you have the right equipment.

Just ask a woman in Oklahoma

who sensed an uneasy energy close by

and had the presence of mind to pick up her camera...

Who are you?

...and confirm that she was not alone.

Hello?

May 2021, Norman, Oklahoma.

Marlene White is in the bathroom

when she gets the feeling she's being watched,

but there's no one else in there with her.

Marlene is freaked out, so she picks up her phone

and starts recording and sees this through the camera.

Hello?

It's the silhouette of a child-like figure

standing behind the shower door.

My name is Marlene and this is my video.

I just felt something staring at me.

So I was like, okay, I'm just going to mess around and started recording.

I didn't see it personally with my own eyes.

I'd seen it in the camera.

It was scary.

Very scary.

And no wonder, the figure remains completely still,

as if it's trying to evade detection

until it moves ever so slightly.

Who are you?

Hello?

Marlene leaves the bathroom in a hurry

shaken by the experience, and posts the video

to social media, hoping for an explanation.

Instead, she gets some doubters.

So she returns to the bathroom later with her son.

Stand in the shower real quick

so I can show people something, please.

A lot of people were commenting saying that

I put my kid's into the shower and recorded the video,

so I put my son in the shower as a comparison.

Clearly the two figures are distinctly different.

It seemed clear to me when we saw her son get in the shower

and close the door, the height was wrong.

The clothing showed in such obvious ways.

Dang. You colorful boy.

Whatever was in there before clearly had to be largely gray in appearance

because the clothing, if nothing else, forgetting the size difference

and the movement difference made it clear that

this was not a contemporary child standing in the shower stall.

So what did Marlene's camera capture standing in her shower?

This was definitely creepy.

I mean, just the way it stood there, barely moving.

But then it moved.

You saw its arm move to the point

where this definitely looks to be humanoid.

I don't know if it was a spirit.

I don't know if it was an alien,

whatever it was, it was definitely creepy.

Demonic entities can disguise themselves as children,

as adults, as somebody that you might want to make communication with.

But a lot of times you shouldn't.

They're disguising. They're demons.

They're... they're... they're... out to fool you.

But why was it only visible...

Who are you?

...through her camera?

All of our cameras have the ability

to see into light spectrums that the human eye can't convey.

So cameras have the ability to see

into infrared and ultraviolet spectrums of light

and a lot of the time phenomena will be captured on devices

before we will see it with our own eyes.

Which, of course, begs to question,

how did she even know something was there?

Feelings usually precede some kind of manifestation.

We're talking about energy. It's our sixth sense, possibly.

We can feel this energy or sense this energy.

We're sensing something is different than it was just a few moments ago.

As we know, these shadow entities,

they do bring on a lot of dread and a lot of anxiety.

So whatever this thing is, it's probably emanating towards this woman

and making her feel like she's all weird.

Dread and anxiety.

Feelings with which Marlene is all too familiar...

...because she's been experiencing unsettling activities

such as this in her house, since shortly after moving in.

We would hear like footsteps

or we'd hear a baby crying and the babies would be sleeping.

I got to the point where I was really depressed.

If you move in unaware of the energy that was within a home,

you will become consumed by those old,

toxic energies that were lived for years and years prior to you in that space.

And long after the inhabitants leave,

that energy stays behind and it creates a manifestation

of its own and attaches itself to current residents.

The feelings became so overwhelming

that Marlene made a bold decision and moved out.

I felt just really stressed.

And once I moved out, everything stopped.

I felt good. I felt more alive.

She has since moved back in,

and though Marlene hasn't crossed paths with the entity

that was in her shower, she's keeping an eye out and her camera rolling.

I'm pretty sure that it... it'll be back.

Sometimes I turn my camera on and I look around the room

just to see if I can find something else.

Hello?

Coming up, a mysterious light beam sent shock waves through India.

It looks as if this mountain is on fire.

Those who believe in a higher power

might sometimes find themselves looking for a sign from God.

And those signs can be anything.

From small and simple... to monumental.

Case in point, a man in India

recently captured something extraordinary emanating from a sacred site

that reaffirmed many followers' faith

that some kind of God was listening.

June 24th, 2020.

Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, India.

It's 6:40 p.m. Venkat Ramanan is with a friend

driving toward Mount Arunachala when, out of nowhere...

a fiery red light beam appears in the sky.

As they get closer, it seems to be originating from the mountain

behind those clouds.

My name is Venkat Ramanan. I live in Bangalore.

Astonished not only by the light,

but also by where it looks to be coming from.

At the base of that mountain is a temple dedicated to Lord Shiva,

one of the main deities in Hinduism.

Shiva is also believed to have manifested

as a column of fire here, long ago.

So many consider the beam to be a religious experience.

A scholar by trade, Venkat first tries to see

if the light could possibly be something else.

But he comes up empty-handed.

So then what did Venkat see?

This video is remarkable to me.

It looks as if this mountain is on fire

and it seems to be coming from the sky.

And you have a lot of lore when it comes to India in the mountains

known to be sacred places where those peaks touch the heavens.

Skeptics might look at this

and say that this is a refraction of light or optical illusion.

And those are worthwhile statements.

But who is to say that paranormal phenomena

and environmental phenomena are mutually exclusive?

Perhaps there is an entity that can utilize nature,

can manipulate it as a way of manifesting itself

and revealing itself to people.

It's entirely possible that it is an atmospheric phenomenon

explainable by science.

But for me, you put it together

with the specific legendary history of this temple

where the Lord Shiva appeared as a pillar of flame and you sort of go...

"Okay." That's what this is.

The benediction of the people who live in this space felt when they saw this.

According to Venkat,

the strange light beam was big news in the area.

And afterwards locals paid their respects and devotions to the structure.

This is very much a chicken and egg situation

where this occurrence seems to reaffirm the faith of the people there

who are witnessing it.

But could this be a natural occurrence,

perhaps the first time this was witnessed?

A theology was developed around it.

So yes, of course its reappearance will back up those earlier writings.

Maybe it is from the Gods.

Maybe it is something beyond us that is asking us on faith to just believe.

Venkat will most likely never find out

if the short-lived spectacle was a religious sign,

an atmospheric phenomenon, or something else entirely.

But he's quite all right with that.

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

Here are some tips to get it all on camera.

Hello?

Never stop filming...

Oh...

...even if you're scared.

No, that wasn't a car.

Check your footage for anything unusual.

Trust that what you're seeing really is other-worldly.

Holy...
