Next on Paranormal Caught On Camera...

A shadow figure in Tennessee

latches on to a first responder.

A Connecticut restaurant is haunted...

...by a ghostly chef.

This is one of those hauntings where a lot of little things

add up into a sort of undeniable big thing.

A home security cam in Oklahoma City...

Here we go. There he is.

...catches a phantom passerby.

Oh, he'll come out of nowhere, watch.

I was kind of freaked out, and at the same time, I was excited.

What exactly...

...is tormenting this man in South Carolina?

Oh, my God.

I've never met somebody who's lived through

any kind of negative haunting that felt at peace.

And even more paranormal footage you have to see

to believe.

What is that?

There is a phenomenon called a crisis apparition

during which a person is visited by the spirit of a loved one

shortly after the time of that person's death.

And while the interaction is typically fleeting,

the living person is left with an absolute certainty

that what they experienced is real.

If that sounds too good to be true,

ask one resident of Oklahoma City

who may have not only encountered one of these entities,

but caught it on camera.

Here we go. There he is.

December 21, 2020,

outside Oklahoma City, Oklahoma,

Renee Lynch and her friend Terry

are watching security footage from outside Renee's home,

as Terry points out a startling event

that was captured early that morning.

And then watch now. That will come out of nowhere.

Here we go. There he is.

Oh, he'll come out of nowhere, watch.

Watch again

as a nearly transparent, seemingly humanoid form

walks across the screen.

Here we go. There he is. Oh, he'll come out of nowhere, watch.

You can see through it all the way. -

I'm Renee Lynch, and this is my video.

I was kind of freaked out, and at the same time, I was excited.

It's kind of like a hologram.

It's a person, you can see the arms and his legs moving

as he's walking, but you just can see right through him.

I mean, you can't see his face or anything,

but you can tell definitely that it's a person.

Out of nowhere, plain as day, obvious,

if it's not a ghost, it's a time traveler,

or something, I don't know.

Here we go. There he is. Oh, he'll come out of nowhere, watch.

This video is a pretty classic example

of an apparition showing up on camera.

A person appears inexplicably,

sort of never feels entirely human the entire time

that they're on camera.

It was a transparent person.

You could see the clothes,

you could see the outline of the head, the body.

He was walking, but he was transparent.

Here we go. There he is.

It seemed to glide.

It's walking, but it moved at a much quicker pace

than I would think a human would be moving, unless they were running,

but you didn't see much movement

with the arms or anything like that.

Despite the mystifying appearance,

Renee thinks she knows who it might be.

I believe it was that night.

A motorcycle accident.

And he had just been to our house, like, two days before that.

He died at about 1:30 in the morning.

I really believe that's what happened.

There does seem to be this occurrence that can happen where

we have so many eyewitnesses that talk about

losing a loved one, and then shortly after,

or even the same day or night, having an experience with them.

When it comes to people dying

and their spirits moving on,

it's very common for them to do visitations

shortly after they've passed.

Now when this happens,

this is them sort of wrapping up

their business on this plane

before they move to the next,

and giving the people that they're leaving behind

some closure.

A comforting thought to some,

but Renee is shaken up.

It was amazing actually to see,

but I don't know if I'd wanna see something like that again.

Kinda am scared of that stuff, you know?

I don't really

wanna open myself up to that kinda stuff.

It was like one of those things that is like,

ah, you wanna look,

but you don't wanna look, but you can't help but look.

I think that for a lot of people,

the idea of a spirit world can be really scary,

even if it's something that could potentially be

as harmless as your friend visiting you.

It just breaks your sense of reality

in a lot of ways that people aren't...

Aren't ready for.

Scary or not,

the experience served as a confirmation for Renee.

There is another side

to our existence in this world.

I know what I've seen. It was not

anything like I've ever seen.

It was not a me or you just walking down the street.

We don't just appear out of nowhere.

So, I mean, yeah, it was most definitely,

like, a total mythbuster confirmed.

Here we go. There he is.

Oh, he'll come out of nowhere, watch.

Coming up,

a restaurant owner in Connecticut

grapples with a spectral chef.

Most of the time,

if you're wondering why a location is thought to be haunted,

a good bet would be to look at its history.

Whether it's ancient legends,

gruesome crimes,

or a tragic accident...

a location's past

typically offers some explanation

for paranormal phenomena.

But every now and then,

there are those locations,

- like say...

...a friendly small town restaurant

that have no clear reason to be haunted,

yet somehow find themselves to be hotspots...

for ghostly goings-on.

One particular restaurant owner can vouch for that.

2016, in Berlin, Connecticut,

Sarah Tigrett has just purchased a restaurant

and is working round the clock

to keep things running smoothly.

But after an eerie experience late one night,

where she believes she may have seen an apparition,

Sarah installs security cameras.

And that's when she and her staff

confirm that something...

...other-worldly

...is going on.

I'm Sarah Tigrett, and these are my videos.

We would have things where, like,

bowls would fly off the shelves.

And our customer would be like,

"I saw this cup just fly."

It got so bad to the point

where we had to get drawers and put the cups in the drawers

because I was tired of buying cups

'cause I'm cheap.

And it's not just random objects,

during one shift,

Sarah's apron is tugged from below.

This is one of those hauntings where

a lot of little things add up into a sort of undeniable big thing.

Tongs falling off the shelf,

lids moving,

bins of food moving.

After a while,

you sort of start to say, "Okay, this is maybe not

just a series of unrelated coincidental events."

On another day,

the chain to a door in the kitchen

is somehow pulled off the door's handle.

Even though it was held on by a padlock.

Every night, we have to chain it shut,

put the chain and a padlock,

and we would take the padlock and leave the key inside.

So it was crazy to me at first to see, like,

the chain was able to unlock itself completely.

They all seem to have purpose and force behind it.

Over and over, it seems as if

it's always something that somebody was just using,

or working at a station,

kinda turning away from it...

...and then it would happen.

So it's definitely, to me, something intelligent

reminding them, "Hey, I'm here,

and I'm having a little bit of fun with you."

A little bit of fun

which turns a little bit more terrifying

when someone catches a mysterious shadowy form

on camera in the dining room.

It would just look like a black, totally opaque shadow

just standing there.

You won't even notice it. Like, it'll walk by

and sometimes you'll think it's like a person

in your peripheral and then you stop.

And then you turn around, it'll be gone.

In my professional opinion,

that seemed to be a shadow figure,

but in my Dalen opinion,

it looked like an alien.

Either way, it was paranormal, abnormal,

its ass shouldn't have been there.

But that doesn't mean Sarah and her staff

have to be afraid.

The thing about the spirit world is that it's not all

demons and scary stuff.

Like, there are, just like with people,

there are spirits who are friendly and wanna help,

and in range, there's a spectrum.

Nothing really positive comes from fear.

Spirits will take that energy

to help manifest.

If all the other workers are scared,

those spirits are not gonna leave

because it's almost like a buffet for them

to come and grab that energy and manifest themselves.

Which is part of the reason

why Sarah tries to maintain a level head.

I was never scared.

The whole kitchen staff, they love it.

We called him ghost kun

because it was a Japanese restaurant

and kun's like a friendly way of addressing, like, a man.

Ghost kun or not,

she did try to seek out an explanation for the haunt

up until she sold the restaurant three years later.

One of the things that the fire marshal told me

was about a mile down the road,

there was a train accident in the '60s.

We're on a busy road with a lot of car accidents.

I mean, it could be anything.

I don't think haunted locations necessarily

have to be connected to a historic event.

You have people coming in and out all the time.

They're bringing their own energy with them and maybe

bringing their own hauntings.

Just because you come to a restaurant

to get takeout, you might be making

a spectral delivery.

Whatever was happening in the restaurant,

Sarah is completely comfortable with the unknown.

A lot of people die.

So, like, who knows how many people died

on this spot before we got there?

So, like, I don't think we could ever really know the reason.

Coming up,

a police officer in Tennessee

captures a shadow figure on his home security cam.

Many believe that the ability to perceive the spiritual realm

is a spectrum...

Please stand away from the closing doors, please...

...where some folks live their day-to-day

completely unaware of these other-worldly energies,

while others seem to possess an innate ability

to sense supernatural phenomena...

whether they want to or not.

One man in Tennessee is coming to grips with the fact

that he's in the latter group.

And has become a virtual magnet

for paranormal activity.

May, 2021, in Jackson, Tennessee,

police officer, Gage Mansfield,

is up late one night

when his home security camera

alerts him to motion in the kitchen.

So he plays back the video and sees this.

An odd shadow passing across the wall

in his kitchen.

But no body casting it.

And this is my video.

We see this shadow moving down along the wall

and you can see that it seems small in stature,

doesn't have a full, defined form,

but there is clearly something there.

And it even becomes more apparent when he shows up into that room

and you see his shadow of what that looks like

projected on that same wall, much larger and much more defined,

and you can see whatever that shadow person thing was prior to him

is definitely smaller in stature and size.

After he rules out the possibility of an intruder,

Gage is fairly certain what he's dealing with.

There is no one type of shadow figure.

They can appear as humanoids, animals,

mists, and there are a lot of different theories

as to what they are.

Probably the most common, well-known theory

is that they are a species of their own.

A few months later,

while Gage and his wife are out,

he captures more strange activity

on the security camera aimed at his bedroom door.

First,

an unseen force

pushes a stack of papers to the floor.

Then the hallway lights begin to flicker.

And finally...

Did you catch that?

Watch again

as another dark shadow figure emerges in the hallway.

We see what appears to be a

human-like figure lean in from right to left

and look in towards the bedroom.

When we add to that

that there's this not consistent,

not rhythmic, but constant light flickering

several doorways away,

I mean, this is the stuff of horror movies.

But Gage remains unfazed.

There is this thought in the paranormal field

that shadow figures aren't necessarily spirits,

that they are more interdimensional beings.

And that they are attracted to places where tragedy has occurred,

or where tragedy will occur.

They seem to be more watchers, observers,

possibly be looking for food, as far as negativity goes.

What we have to take into consideration here

is that Gage is a police officer.

If he has seen a lot of negativity in his life because of his job,

then he might be really good food

for these shadow figures.

Something that Gage is all too aware of.

In fact, in his line of work as a first responder,

Gage has found himself exposed to a lot of situations

that trigger a kind of supernatural ability.

A quality that some would categorize

as clairvoyant.

To be clairvoyant means that there is some

atypical level of openness or receptiveness

to the perception of things that other people can't sense.

So it might be spirit mediumship.

It might also simply be seeing things that other people don't see.

So noticing a shadow figure,

noticing an apparition, being tuned in

on a level that other people aren't.

That must be such a stressful thing to live with every day,

especially if you're going to work

and encountering homicides and deaths and accidents.

And then if you're clairvoyant,

to be like a beacon for these recently,

you know, departed spirits.

But over time,

Gage has become more and more comfortable

with the fact that spirits seem to be drawn to him

and they're now even apparently

making themselves at home in his home.

Coming up,

a man in South Carolina

cannot catch a break from paranormal chaos.

Oh, my God.

For most of us just one run in

with a violent entity in our home...

...would be enough to send us packing for good.

But moving isn't always feasible.

And banishing an unwanted spirit...

...can be much easier said... than done.

- Wake up. Wake up. - What?

There's somebody ringing the doorbell.

...leaving some people with an impossible choice.

Take it from one man in South Carolina...

...who has been forced to coexist with his own personal poltergeist...

Is anybody there?

...for years.

And it's persistent presence...

Holy!

...is showing no signs of letting up.

Last season we met Michael, a man in South Carolina.

Shh, turn it down, turn it down.

...who was having issues with a noisy, persistent presence in his home...

What the is that?

I don't know.

...that like to make a mess.

Oh, my God!

When we left him,

he hoped the activity would dissipate.

Holy!

But now, evidence by captures in the latter half of 2021,

any chance of peace that Michael was hoping for has proven...

...illusive.

Because the chaotic, inexplicable activity...

...continues unabated.

In the paranormal, we're used to spirit rappings.

Tappings, light little knockings,

something faint or even imperceptible.

What's happening here is quite the opposite.

Banging, just banging.

Hey, look!

This reads to me as not only chaotic but aggressively chaotic.

It does not feel like an attempt to communicate.

Oh, my God.

I couldn't live like that, I--

I would have to exhaust all possibilities of cleansing my space.

Maybe I'd keep the lights on all day.

Maybe I have to activate the buddy-system in my own home.

My mental would be so messed up,

I'd probably be going through it.

And whatever it is...

...seems to be getting stronger.

It throws your life into chaos...

...because what's supposed to be your sanctuary from a really harsh world...

becomes chaotic, and becomes scary, and becomes unknown.

And I've never met somebody who's lived through any kind of negative haunting

that felt at peace.

I don't think like burning sage or anything like that

is going to actually get rid of this...

whatever it is is happening.

So... If not sage...

Then what?

My advice is to get in contact with some really good,

reputable paranormal investigators...

Give them all the information, look for patterns,

when does this happen? How often? Why?

Is there any explanation historically,

the house, the land preceding the home.

Bring in a reputable medium, do a cleansing.

And if that doesn't work...

...pack up and get out of there.

Not a bad idea.

But what if the dark energy...

...is coming from him?

There is this belief that, uh, we have the psychokinetic ability

to affect objects...

...with our anxiety or anger or uneasiness.

We have this ability to actually alter and affect objects with our minds

by getting into the state of amplified fear or anger.

- The knocking... -

...items explosively coming off of countertops.

Things like hitting, you know, the pendulum, you know,

light fixture in their home.

All of that could be someone's anxiety energy

bouncing off the physical objects within their space that they live in.

Oh, my God!

If that's the case...

then it might be time to bring in the big guns.

Seek out religious authorities.

Have an exorcism, have a blessing.

Whatever belief tradition resonates best with the people who live there, go with that.

Clearly, he's going to have to do something.

Or else...

Oh, my God.

Coming up... A parade of UFOs...

What is that?

- ...float over a Alabama. - They just keep comin'.

Most of what can be classified as unidentified ariel phenomena

is only unidentified... to the untrained eye.

With the help of fight logs, weather maps or familiarity with unmanned aircrafts,

a majority of these sightings can be explained away...

as ordinary air traffic.

And that's why it's truly remarkable

when someone who is tuned in to celestial affairs...

sees something... they can't explain.

Like a drone enthusiast in Alabama...

who captured what he believes to be not just one,

but over a dozen UFOS.

What is that?

April 23rd, 2022, in Muscle Shoals, Alabama.

A man named J.D. and his daughter are standing in their driveway

shortly after bidding farewell to J.D.'s mother...

when they notice something peculiar in the distance.

My name is J.D. And this is my video.

I had no clue what it was to be honest.

I just turned to my right and looked up and there are these...

light swirls just flying.

And at first I was like, okay, well, maybe that's some kind of helicopter or something.

And then, I see another one.

And then it kind of dawned on me. It was like...

There's no sound coming from these lights.

I don't know what that is. I mean, there's been a bunch of 'em...

that's been poppin' up from that spot.

There go another one coming up.

They just keep comin'.

What?

I mean, this, this is probably like the 10th one.

When I first saw this video,

I thought it was perhaps nothing more than common sky lanterns.

But the thing that doesn't equate

is the pace at which these lights are moving.

For a sky lantern to move across the sky that quickly,

there would have to be a tremendous wind.

And we see no evidence of wind at all here.

Disappeared, there another one is.

They do look like they're travelling with purpose,

they're not randomly kind of zig-zagging around.

They're travelling in a direction that seems to be in intelligent control.

They just keep comin'.

As an aviation enthusiast,

J.D. quickly rules out the ordinary.

There's no airport over there. There's no military...base...

...that's over there.

I was trying to figure out what is moving at this speed.

I knew it wasn't any kind of motor aviation that was flying.

Because motor aviation don't simply move at that speed.

They would carry some kind of sound, you know.

I've flown several times myself on regular, commercial airlines,

and I knew it wasn't none of those.

They didn't have kind of FAA lights, no red lights, or...

green lights flashing, nothing, none of that at all.

What is that?

I checked the tracking data for airplanes in the area,

there was nothing in the airspace that was less than 35,000 feet high.

So it's nothing that I believe was commercial or general aviation.

So if they're not sky lanterns,

they're not drones, they're not aircraft, they're not satellites,

these objects are truly unknown to this point.

All those possibilities eliminated, only a select few remain.

In my mind, you know, when I see something like this,

I would automatically think,

the aliens have landed.

It looks like they are spaced exactly the same apart.

They are travelling at the same speed.

They definitely seem to have some kind of communication with each other.

Are they gone now?

We got that one, that one, that one.

Whether it was extraterrestrial,

or some type of military secret or something,

I do not know. But this was something that was legit...

...flying aircraft. It had to be.

It absolutely had to be.

Let's say that these were potentially something from another galaxy,

what are they?

Are they actual crafts, are they actual UFOs, was something piloting them?

Or could they perhaps be something that's maybe scanning the area,

looking for something.

J.D. has the same question.

If it's extraterrestrial, maybe it was spying on some people or something,

I don't know.

But before he can get any answers, the crafts begin to disappear.

And this one now...

it disappeared.

Though the sighting's abrupt ending

hasn't dampened his enthusiasm for the experience.

You hear people talking about this type of stuff all the time.

And to be able to actually see it for the first time,

and, and really witness it yourself, is, is completely different.

Now, he's on the lookout for more.

I find myself now constantly searching the skies,

just trying to see if I can see anything similar to it at all.

Because that was a very unique experience, and I...

I would be curious if there's more of that going on around here.

It was amazing just to see it.

Even though I don't know what it is,

but it was just... That was absolutely amazing just to be witness to that.

What is that?

Coming up...

A woman in the Netherlands...

is tormented by a spirit.

If your home is haunted and it's having a negative effect on your life,

there are a few things you can try to get rid of an unwanted ghost.

Get your house cleansed.

Bring in a medium to communicate with the dead.

Or if all else fails, move out.

But be warned...

None of these are guaranteed to work.

Because even if you chose to relocate...

whatever's haunting your home...

may decide to move with you.

Which is precisely what one woman in the Netherlands

comes face-to-face with.

Oh!

Zwolle, Netherlands.

When we last met Sabia El,

she had been living in a haunted apartment for several years.

During that time she experienced a lot of paranormal activity...

...like objects moving on their own...

...doors being manipulated by an unseen force.

And even shadow figures.

Finally, when Sabia can no longer take it, she moves out.

And for several months things are calm in her new home.

Until one night when Sabia is watching TV,

she notices a light flickering in the hall.

So she grabs her phone and starts recording.

When Sabia enters the hallway,

she doesn't find anything that would have caused the light to go on and off.

But as Sabia walks back toward her living room

and takes one more look down the hallway...

She catches the shadow of the chandelier right in front of her,

so she spins around.

Now she's seeing the chandelier swaying back and forth.

It's kind of playing around with her.

Hey, I can be in front of you, I can be right behind you. You don't know where I am.

Often times these signs of the paranormal are surprisingly mundane.

We turn lights on and off all throughout the day,

we bump into things, they swing, they move.

It's not that weird. And yet when you're there,

and you know you didn't cause those things to happen,

even the most mundane objects can become absolutely terrifying.

Even more terrifying is what happens next.

As Sabia turns to the front hallway again...

...a dark figure is standing there.

Oh!

And then...

...seems to run away.

If in fact this is what you would term a 'shadow figure',

it seems to do exactly what, what we've known other shadow figures in videos to do,

which is as soon as they're seen by the living, uh, they flee the scene.

In this case, it seems to be running up the stairs to get away.

Oh!

To me this is a classic haunting taking place, if you will.

It's clearly something that is intelligent,

and it seems to be a human-type spirit.

We can see that with the shadowy figure.

It's one entity, one spirit clearly communicating with her,

doing all these things to let her know that it's there.

It's toying with her, perhaps maybe even taunting her.

And perhaps also letting her know

that ridding herself of whatever it is...

won't be so easy.

There's this idea in the supernatural that is called attachments.

And what an attachment is,

is some sort of supernatural force that either gets attached to a person,

an object, a location.

In the cases of people and objects,

that attachment will be with them.

Meaning if it's a person, you can move, you can change your name,

get a new car, whatever you wanna do,

that attachment will follow you wherever you go.

Or maybe this person is just sensitive to these energies.

And as such, they will seek her out to either deliver a message,

have their story told, or maybe to work out something

that they can no longer do themselves.

Whatever this spirit is looking for,

it's freaking Sabia out.

Oh!

She stays over friends' house that night.

But what can she do for a long-term solution?

I would recommend to get a really good medium there

to see if there's any kind of way this medium could make contact

with the spirit that might be following her,

and ask this spirit to just leave Sabia alone.

And Sabia can do the same thing.

She can say, look, you know, I understand you want my attention for some reason,

but I'm not comfortable with this and you have to please promise me

you're not gonna do this to me anymore.

My advice always is, don't panic.

If she wants to stop interacting with things,

maybe stop responding when something happens...

Oh!

And I feel that after a while if they don't get the response they're looking for,

they will move onto someone who will give it to them.

A lot of times these spirits are in some sort of a limbo

where they are attached to that property or to that person.

So bring in someone to help, whether they're a priest, pastor or shaman

to cleanse and clear that area and get on with your life.

And some people can't seem to shake it,

and they learn to live alongside of it,

but others have learnt to just eradicate it completely.

Salvia is hoping to do a cleanse in the near future.

But for now, she's trying to remain calm...

...and just live with whatever has taken a liking...

to living with her.

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

Here are some tips to get it all on camera.

Check your footage and then check it again.

Here we go, there he is.

Don't stop filming, even if you're scared.

Oh, my God.

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

What is that?

And, if you do catch something...

- Oh. - ...email us at submitparanormal@gmail.com,

or connect with us on social media.
