Next, on Paranormal Caught on Camera...

A wayward entity latches on to a little girl in Canada.

Ow! My hand!

That doll should not have been able to harm her...

...unless something may be attached to it.

Investigators in California...

Do you have a message for us?

...receive a sinister warning.

"Hang 'em."

It just kind of seemed to me that that was a sign.

Just get out.

Extraterrestrial visitors...

There are three unidentified flying objects.

...interrupt a rugby practice in Beirut.

It's like something I never thought I would encounter.

Did an elemental spirit reveal itself

to a man in the Netherlands?

Oh, my goodness!

I... I... I cannot believe it.

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

...to believe.

Corriganville Park in Simi Valley, California...

...was once home to a vibrant movie set,

where action-packed westerns came to life.

Later, it became a tourist attraction,

flocked to by movie fans.

The park was eventually abandoned and destroyed,

after a series of fires in the 1970s.

Since then, the area is said to be

a hotspot for paranormal activity,

where according to locals, numerous mysterious murders

and suicides have occurred.

Recently, a nearby resident solicited the help of paranormal investigators...

...hoping to get in contact with the many spirits that roam her property.

But it turns out...

...the invitation may have come...

...from the spirits themselves.

January, 2022...

...in Simi Valley, California.

Um, if you just come down this way...

Jade Capasso and her camera operator Jim

are investigating a property at the request of the homeowner, Alicia.

She's been experiencing unexplained events,

such as her husband's eyes inexplicably turning black.

And apparitions of two young children...

...on her porch.

She suspects a tree on her property...

...is the focal point of all the activity.

My name is Jade Capasso, and this is my video.

There were weird feelings right off the bat.

Within the first five minutes of being there,

I went over to the back tree.

They called it the Hanging Tree.

It's dubbed the Hanging Tree

because it is rumored that women and children were hanged there

by outlaws during the Gold Rush.

This is the Hanging Tree.

So you can see this marking, it's like the X on the tree here.

And nobody knows what this is from.

It's not painted on.

It's not burnt on.

Okay, let me touch it.

Wow.

I don't know why, but I feel like the energy kind of shifted.

I don't know if you're feeling that, but...

Do you hear that?

It sounded like something fell over.

I touched that tree, and in that moment,

I heard a very loud crashing noise

coming from the other side of the property.

Did you hear that?

When Jade investigates,

she discovers that another tree has somehow lost

a large piece of bark.

I'm just curious, was that always like that? - No.

I just filmed that tree.

That bark wasn't like that.

- No. - Okay, come on.

It just kind of seemed to me that that was a sign.

Just get out.

I feel like that's a warning sign.

At that point, Jade and Jim decide

to call it a night and regroup.

I think we need to go back, research, have a game plan, come back...

Our game plan was to come back with the medium Michael,

and try and get some answers for the property owner.

The team returned with Michael a week later,

hoping to establish contact with the spirits on the property.

Heck! Oh, wow.

...and the medium is immediately drawn to the Hanging Tree.

There's something very negative in that particular tree that,

- um... - Yeah.

...more than one soul in that one tree.

Meaning they... hanging or that kind of thing.

- Yeah. - Do you understand what I mean?

Exactly what you think... are you kidding me? - Okay, um...

- You... yes. - No, yeah.

'Cause I'm seeing, like, what I call people fruit.

He is able to, uh, clairvoyantly see...

...people hanging from this tree...

...hanging like fruit, so, meaning there was multiple people

hanging from this tree.

Those spirits would just burst into the property,

so now you've got them kind of scattered all over.

Among the spirits...

...is one of a young girl

who Michael hones in on.

I do think she's an E-name, like an Emily or an Emilia,

but I do think it's one of those old-fashioned names.

With the tree as a focal point,

the group decides to conduct a sensory deprivation session...

...to get more information on the little girl.

We're gonna do an Estes Method

um, right underneath this tree here.

This is the tree where the bark fell earlier.

So when we do sensory deprivation,

we're hooked up to the spirit box...

...which scans through white noise.

And spirits can actually manipulate that device

and speak to us.

Keep in mind,

Jade can't hear the questions being asked.

Do you know what our names are?

Mike.

That's me.

I see you, oh, and I heard a little girl giggle.

Do you have a message for us?

"Hang 'em."

Hang 'em...

There seems to be a lot of times

where they get answers, or they're saying words out loud

that matches the questions that are being asked of them.

Are we talking to the little girl?

Hello?

Child.

If that's the child that we're speaking to right now,

can you give us a possible name?

Emma.

- Emma! - That's my E.

- Okay. - Emma. Oh, my gosh.

When Jim came out with the name Emma,

that was like a huge, kind of, victory within the investigation.

The medium was picking up on this little girl,

the homeowner's picking up on this little girl,

and now Jim's picking up on this little girl.

Satisfied with what they've gotten,

the team begins to wrap up the investigation.

But just as Jade films a recap in front of the house...

...watch closely.

I don't know if there was some kind of altercation between them.

I don't even know if maybe he's the one that killed her.

And that's what I'm picking up.

'Cause he feels responsible for her death.

Did you see that?

Watch again,

as Jim's camera catches a shadowy figure

passing by in the background.

I didn't notice that at all.

Later on I came to find out that if I put it on my television,

it's like right there, clear as day.

The reason why cameras are so important on investigations

is because of moments like this.

Sometimes you're talking about the haunt or the location,

and then it's almost like when you start...

...connecting with the energy and putting the puzzle pieces in your head...

Emma.

- Emma! - That's my E, okay.

...that mental activity between everyone involved

will amplify the energy within a space,

and you'll start to notice the activity shift

from something just being mental and vocal

to something more physical.

Something physical that Jade believes

is responsible for bringing her here

in the first place.

I felt like we were 100 percent led there,

and what we captured on camera that night

was meant to be captured.

We connected with a couple of spirits there.

But I know that there are so many other spirits in that area

that are just waiting to tell their story.

And Jade is eager to do whatever it takes to help.

I feel so drawn there

to the point that I'm even looking at buying a home over there.

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

But there is something dark in Corriganville Park...

...I also believe that there is light.

Coming up...

Is a spirit toying...

...with a little girl in Canada?

Ow, my hand!

It's believed

that a spirit can sometimes possess child-like qualities...

...especially when interacting with younger, living beings.

And though such entities may come across as harmless...

...be warned.

Their seemingly playful qualities

may be a way to gain trust...

...before they reveal their true selves.

Take it from a family in Canada,

who discovered what they believed to be a spirit

playing a dangerous game with their young daughter.

Ow!

My hand!

What happened?

Spring, 2020...

...in Alberta, Canada.

Shortly after settling into a new home,

Mary Proctor and her husband Nick

are watching TV,

when their daughter Ellie comes out of her room

crying about her hand.

Unsure of what happened,

Mary takes a look at the footage from her baby monitor,

and sees this.

Ow, my hand!

What happened?

As Ellie plays with her doll,

she suddenly reacts.

Ow!

My hand!

...as if something has harmed her hand.

It looked like it either slapped or bit

that very young child.

Obviously, it did something, 'cause the child was very upset.

Even more disturbing...

Ow!

...is what appears behind the doll.

What happened?

Watch closely...

...as a ghostly looking face with two hollowed out eyes

seems to peer over the doll's shoulder.

You see what looks like a face,

kind of manifesting, or starting to form.

In conjunction with the child's reaction

of fear and pain that that doll did something at that moment.

Ow!

We don't know what that something is,

but that doll should not have been able to harm her

unless something maybe attached to it.

After this incident,

Mary and her husband begin keeping a close eye in their daughter's bedroom...

...and reviewing the footage from the monitor.

Sure enough, just a few months later...

...a bucket that was inside a toy box inexplicably...

...rolls across the bedroom floor.

And that's not all.

A month after that,

Let's go! Get ready to...

A toy scooter lights up on its own.

Let's go play!

If a door opens or something moves,

sometimes I can almost explain that away.

But when an electronic toy goes off,

I feel, okay, something had to happen within that circuit

to get it to turn on to speak or do whatever.

And to me, that's the most interesting of all the things

that are happening in this room.

Then, a toy flashlight on the shelf...

There's a reason why paranormal investigators

take electronic devices with them during their research.

It's thought that spirits can somehow interact

with these devices through, uh, the means of electromagnetic fields.

And I would imagine that a toy that lights up

or makes a noise isn't any different.

And it's not just toys.

They also capture orbs floating around the room.

You start to see these light anomalies,

these orbs that seem to be flying out of an object as it falls down,

or they fly into it and it moves.

And in this clip we see orbs moving around,

and we see an object lighting up.

But it seems to be very playful,

and is interested in these toys and into the girl.

The sum of all these occurrences

convinces Mary that something is haunting Ellie's bedroom.

So she moves her to a different room in the house.

But whatever's haunting Ellie's original room...

...follows her.

If they swapped their daughter's bedroom

for a different room and the activity's still happening,

then the activity is not isolated to that one location.

It's isolated to something else.

And so...

...it seems to me like it's following either their daughter

or her toys.

I think it is possible that there could be a young energy

or child spirit around.

They do tend to gravitate towards other children,

mostly because children seem familiar to them.

They definitely gravitate towards toys,

because toys are things that they loved in their life.

But, when dealing with the paranormal...

...things aren't always what they seem.

I strongly caution against assuming you're dealing with a child spirit.

While I think those might exist,

I also theorize that some more mischievous

or malevolent entities might pose

as the most innocent amongst us...

...in order to get us to drop our guard,

or even manipulate our desire to protect children.

A sobering thought.

Luckily, Ellie has not been harmed

since she complained about her hand.

Ow! My hand!

What happened?

But the family is on the lookout

for more unwelcome activity.

Coming up,

a glowing orb...

...hovers over a garden in the Netherlands.

Certain types of paranormal phenomena...

...like elemental spirits, sprites, and fairies,

are sometimes dismissed...

...as folktales.

The naysayers claim that these curiosities

have been passed down for generations in stories

with no basis in reality.

But there are many out there...

...who beg to differ.

Who claim that these phenomena are not only real...

...but that they've been coexisting with us...

...for millennia.

A man in the Netherlands claims to have

regular encounters with such beings,

and believes he finally caught one on camera.

August 17th, 2017.

In North Brabant, the Netherlands.

It's around 7 p.m., and Robbert van den Broeke

notices something in the garden...

...behind his parents' house.

Something that he's been eager to document on camera for decades.

A bright, hovering orb-like object...

...that Robbert believes is otherworldly.

My name is Robbert van den Broeke,

and this is my video.

I recognized this from, "Oh, my goodness,

I think that this is really a... an energy ball."

It has the shape from a football.

It's very elegant. It's very gentle.

This is giving off its own energy, its own light.

And it's hovering around, and it seems to me

it's very playful and organic.

Whatever this thing is, it doesn't seem to be floating on the breeze.

It seems to have a deliberate movement to it,

as if it's controlling its own flight path.

It is not a plane, it's, uh, not a balloon.

Uh, it's not a drone, and it's appearing out of the blue.

And it's disappearing out of the blue.

And it's something Robbert and his family

have seen for almost 30 years.

My parents, uh, have see many times light balls.

My sisters also.

Flying in the garden around the trees,

it's almost unbelievable, but we experienced this now for many, many years.

But while they may be familiar with the glowing phenomena...

...they still have no earthly explanation for it.

When I would see the light ball

for the first time, I was thinking,

"Oh my goodness. I... I cannot believe it.

This is a UFO, or what's going on?"

It's so special to see it.

It is something electromagnetic,

I'm sure, and I have the feeling that the orb has consciousness.

Is it something of the supernatural element?

Or is it something more of... of the extraterrestrial alien type element?

The thing that my brain immediately leapt to

was descriptions of people seeing fairies in traditional folklore.

A small, bright, glowing, pixie-like creature

flitting over the fields, suddenly disappearing, reappearing.

A theory that certainly makes sense to Robbert.

I think that in the past,

when people still lived in the forest,

when they was living very close to nature,

that many people was experiencing these light balls.

A lot of times I think we humans get so caught up in ourselves,

we're tempted to think we're the only ones

that might have a spirit.

But woods, forests, nature itself is so much older than us.

And the notion of elementals is that these are nature spirits,

and people from Indigenous Americans to natives

in every culture report something similar to elementals.

We all have the capabilities of seeing things and peeling away

at the layers of our mundane life

to realize that we actually live within

this multi-dimensional, magical reality.

We just have to be able to peel away at the layers

to start to communicate with those types of beings,

and so there are people out there that have the ability to do that.

Perhaps then, Robbert is graced with a special ability.

And he does not take it for granted...

...to be a witness to something extraordinary.

I have a very positive feeling

by the whole situation.

It has something to do with nature spirits,

with other dimensions, with extraterrestrials.

It sounds like a fairy tale, but...

...it makes life much more interesting.

Coming up...

...a triangle of UFOs...

There are three unidentified flying objects.

...stun a rugby team in Lebanon.

Very strange in dimension.

For those who live in places of frequent conflict,

being aware of, and familiar with various objects in the sky...

...is part of the day-to-day.

So when something appears that is not only unfamiliar...

...but extraordinary...

...people take notice.

That's what happened to one man

and his rugby teammates in Beirut.

And he is almost certain that what they witnessed...

It's very strange in dimension.

...is not from this world.

And there are three unidentified flying objects...

July 22nd, 2015...

...at the American University of Beirut...

...in Beirut, Lebanon.

Nadeem Moughnieh is hanging outside with his rugby team after practice...

...when they see something unusual...

...in the sky.

So Nadeem's coach pulls out his phone

and begins to record.

We're here at AUB, Beirut, Lebanon.

And there are three unidentified flying objects...

...elevating ahead.

They're very strange in, uh...

...dimension.

They look to be like floating ships.

I'm Nadeem, and I witnessed UFOs in Beirut, Lebanon.

Initially, you think it's kind of funny.

Then you realize...

"No, it's pretty weird."

Like, there's a reason we picked up a camera to film it.

Just finished the AUB Rugby League football training

on Wednesday, the 22nd of July.

We were like 30, 40 people.

It wasn't just us, it was a full team.

Everyone was looking at it.

Of all the UFO videos I've seen,

this one is quite clear.

It seems that whatever is floating up there in the sky...

...has defined edges.

It's a very sharp picture.

We don't normally get a lot of UFO videos from Middle Eastern countries,

so already this is a unique UFO report.

These objects appear to be in a solid V formation,

and they don't move at all, which is really unusual

if this was some sort of a balloon or a blimp.

Now, if they were blimps, it's also quite strange

because blimps are quite expensive,

and they're really only used for commercial purposes,

sometimes for surveillance, but I've never heard of them traveling in groups of three.

These objects look metallic, but they're not shiny.

We don't see any kind of exhaust,

we don't hear any engines.

Very strange in, uh...

They look to be like floating ships.

If these things were balloons or anything like that,

they would be flapping around in the wind,

uh, uncontrollably.

But these things seem to be controlled by some force.

Not just controlled,

but able to remain in synchronized positions.

They're always in a triangle formation.

Always in a triangle formation.

It was three objects.

They get... get a little farther in distance,

then get a little closer, and it always stayed in triangle formation.

Intentional formation

suggests purpose,

suggests intelligence.

Random objects floating through the sky like lost weather balloons

are not going to maintain a rigid arrangement

in comparison to each other.

We can certainly leave out airplanes, helicopters, and drones.

They wouldn't be able to hold this static formation

for such a long period of time.

These don't make that annoyingly loud hum

that a drone would.

And there's three of them.

Even a helicopter that's high in the sky you could hear coming.

Any little drone you could hear as well.

And Nadeem is certainly familiar enough with all of these objects.

Drones in particular...

...to know the difference.

We live in Lebanon where...

...it's kind of constantly at war.

It's a hotbed for conflict.

So you'd think it could be like a surveillance drone or something, but...

...we're used to how they look.

They're never, like, three drones in a triangle formation.

And you would hear it.

Like the... like the buzzing sound.

Which is why Nadeem believes them to be alien in nature.

I think it is, because it's... it's something like I've ever seen before.

I always believe in extraterrestrials and UFOs.

Like, there's too much information that's out there

that it's hard to like go against.

But if they are extraterrestrial...

...why here?

Why now?

Beirut has had some interesting history when it comes to UFOs.

We always hear about war and different conflicts

that are going around in those areas.

UFOs seem to appear, almost as if they're watching what is going on down below.

These extraterrestrials will come and try to intervene

with things that can be detrimental

to our civilization and to our planet.

You'll start to see a lot of UFO activity...

...or alien interference in places of unrest and war.

We're here at AUB, Beirut, Lebanon.

Wherever these objects are from,

and whatever their reason for being there,

Nadeem cherishes the memory of his brush with cosmic interlopers.

It was quite surreal spotting UFOs in the sky.

It's like something I... never thought I would encounter.

It was a really cool experience.

It's eerie in a way,

but it's cool in another way.

And there are three unidentified flying objects...

Coming up...

...three siblings cross paths...

...with a headless entity in India.

In 1865, a severe drought in Odisha, India

destroyed crops...

...and resulted in one of the world's worst famines.

The famine was then followed by devastating floods,

and the spread of diseases like malaria, smallpox, and cholera.

It's estimated that more than one million people,

a third of the population, was wiped out

in just a few years' time.

Which might explain why Odisha

is considered to be one of the most haunted locations

in India.

And recently...

Three siblings may have crossed paths

with one of those wandering spirits from long ago.

2021...

...Odisha, India.

Rokia Khatun and her two brothers

are driving their tractor home after working in the field all day,

when they spot what looks like a person up ahead

on the left-hand side of the road.

But as they get closer,

they realize...

...it's not a person at all.

At least, not one that's living.

Because it has no head...

...or limbs.

My name is Rokia.

This is my video.

Things go from terrifying to sheer panic...

...when the tractor inexplicably shuts off.

After the video cuts off,

the three siblings, who are beside themselves with fear,

make a run for it all the way back home.

So what did the three siblings actually encounter

in that field?

I had so much anxiety watching that clip.

I'm like, "Oh no!"

The light went out.

The tractor shut off, and then it seems like

this figure's getting closer.

I can hear the panic in their voice.

I don't know what they're saying,

but it sounded like it was panic.

The closest correlation in traditional lore

is the woman in white...

...who often is seen by a roadside or alongside a path.

Who's there largely to lure people, especially men,

to their deaths.

But as we get a better look at it...

...I don't actually see a woman at all.

I just see a white piece of fabric, a sheet.

It looks...

...upright, like it would be on a human body.

But there is no human body in evidence.

If it is a ghost...

...why is it missing its body?

There are countless stories of ghosts that don't have a head,

or are missing limbs, or maybe only are a floating torso.

This extends to the famous story

of the Headless Horseman in Sleepy Hollow, New York.

Whenever we hear these types of stories,

I always wonder, is this perhaps a spirit

who lost that body part in some sort of tragedy?

Maybe they're searching for it.

Or maybe they just haven't been able to

manifest that part of their body

in order for us to see.

Which could explain why the tractor turned off on its own.

It's really common for electronics

or anything mechanical to start malfunctioning

when in the presence of spirits.

When a spirit is manifesting,

it needs to draw energy from somewhere,

and those are usually the first places that it takes it from.

I've been on cases where our batteries will die,

our lighting equipment will go out,

and shortly after that, something will manifest.

So it wouldn't be surprised if there is a correlation between the two.

As scary as the sight was for Rokia and her brothers,

it shouldn't come as much of a surprise.

Because a century and a half ago,

famine and disease caused over a million deaths in the area.

And some believe the bodies of the deceased

may have been mishandled.

Local legends speak of a crematorium that was in the area

that people have seen burned bodies,

incomplete apparitions wandering the landscape.

Now, could this be an example of that?

Something with no head, something with no limbs.

Or maybe it's something else entirely.

Whatever the case, Rokia is convinced

that what she saw that night is not of this world.

Coming up...

...a social media trend turns terrifying.

Many believe

that spirits can attach themselves to the living.

The theory goes that the entity feeds off the energy of the host,

in a mostly harmless way.

If so, it may be worth taking a closer look

at any recent footage of yourself.

Because if you're experience is anything like a young Arkansas woman's

you may just catch a glimpse of a ghostly tag-along.

July 2020...

...in Springdale, Arkansas.

A young woman named Alicia Nguyen is home alone,

using her bathroom mirror to make a lip-synching video for social media.

When she reviews her video later that night,

something in the footage catches her eye...

...so she brightens it...

...and sees this.

A ghostly head and shoulders, lurking in the background...

...and staring right at her.

Let's face it.

I think we've all been guilty of shooting a selfie video

in the bathroom mirror.

But maybe not all of us have captured a spectral form

creeping on us from behind.

It looks like a small boy, a child,

that you see for a split second.

You see the top half of the shoulders and torso,

and a clear, clear face.

If it were a towel on a rack or a sculpture,

it would be there all along the way in the video.

And it's not.

It shows up for a second...

...and the next time we get that same view,

it's gone.

It almost looks like whatever it is is watching her,

sort of observing her over her shoulder.

At the very end of the video...

...she does turn to look over her shoulder...

...to exactly where it was.

It makes me wonder if perhaps she had a sense

that she was being watched.

But Alicia claims to have been totally unaware of the fleeting observer...

...until she reviewed the footage later.

Though she does think she might know who it is.

An attachment named Leo

that a medium told her about two years ago.

I think there is some credence that there is that connection where

people are picking up on an energy,

and we see this glimpse of what could be that attachment.

I believe everyone has spiritual attachments.

Whether it's a bad spiritual attachment or something that's more benevolent,

or a guardian type of attachment

has to do with the resonance of energy from the individual person.

And maybe accidentally capturing

your spiritual attachment on video...

...will be the next viral trend.

We're gonna see a lot more of these videos in the future.

Pretty much everybody on the planet

has got a pretty sophisticated,

high definition camera in their pocket.

The more things we see on film,

the better chance of us seeing some unexpected paranormal phenomena.

It's crazy to me how many videos similar to this

are coming out of TikTok.

It's almost like the ghosts out there

are ready and willing to be paranormal influencers.

Cheers.

What should you do in the event

you witness something paranormal?

Here are some tips to get it all on camera.

Ow! My hand!

Check your footage for anything unusual.

Trust that what you're seeing really is otherworldly.

There are three unidentified flying objects.

Don't stop recording...

...even if you're scared.

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,

on Paranormal Caught on Camera.
