Next on Paranormal Caught on Camera,

two historians exploring an abandoned house...

This looks like what we would consider

like, a sharecropper house.

...are interrupted

by a ghost.

For me, this is

one of the most legit videos I've seen,

probably I've ever seen.

A bicyclist in Mexico...

rides by a terrifying figure.

It looks like there's...

maybe a translucent woman,

a legit apparition.

What did one man in Kentucky capture

on his home security system?

There's something kind of slithery

about how it's creeping along and looking around.

And even more paranormal footage

you have to see...

What is that?

...to believe.

- That's the figure! - Whoa! Whoa.

That's the figure from earlier!

That's the figure! That's who I saw!

When it comes to soliciting

paranormal activity,

there are many modern devices

that can assist.

Like night-vision cameras...

What the hell is that?

...EMF meters...

Thank you.

...or spirit boxes.

Is this safe for me to do this?

No?

But some believe

that perhaps the most effective way

of contacting the dead...

is through good old-fashioned empathy.

When a person begins to relate to the spirits around them,

whether that person knows it...

or not...

...that's what may have happened

to two men in Georgia

who were simply extolling the virtues

of an abandoned house

and may have awoken

one of its original inhabitants

in the process.

October 2023,

in Waverly Hall, Georgia,

Robert Wright and his friend,

historian Dan Aiken,

have been invited to explore a home in the woods

that has been abandoned for decades.

If you can see it right behind us, it's...

a huge old creepy house out here in the woods.

I'm Robert Wright, and this is my video.

I don't think we'll be able to use the steps

'cause they're a little overgrown.

We'd heard legends about this house

for quite a while

before getting the invitation

to go out and actually film it.

It was kind of a farm

that everything was just left behind in.

The place was just kind of as it was,

as it had been walked away from

about 60 or 70 years ago.

This looks like...

like what we would consider like a sharecropper house.

I'm assuming that's what you're thinking as well, right?

Dan and I are not paranormal investigators

by, you know, any means.

We are strictly historians and preservationists,

and we document these historic sites.

Here we go.

Oh.

You can see right there

that the house was originally...

boarded back,

and you can see

that the inside of the house was whitewashed.

But while the pair's intention for the visit

may have been historical...

After you.

...once they start exploring

underneath the house,

something shifts.

I crawled under the house,

and that's very common for me to do, you know,

on these exploration videos.

We like to look at how these old houses were built,

and it helps us define an age of the house.

And in this case...

...that's not all it does.

Listen closely.

So that's a 1958 Coke bottle, right?

Oh, that's weird.

While Robert and Dan lie

underneath the house together...

...Coke bottle, right?

...footsteps.

Despite no one in the house.

Sure as day, I heard

what sounded like footsteps.

We both popped out from under the house

as quick as possible.

Like, you know, "What is this?"

It was wild. You know, that was--

Definitely the hair was standing up on my neck

at that point. On both of our necks, in fact.

- You heard that, right, Dan? - Yes, I did.

For me, this is

one of the most legit videos I've seen,

probably I've ever seen.

That was weird.

I love when people just happen

to step into a paranormal situation

and they weren't expecting it.

I mean, you can tell it's a genuine emotion

that they don't know what's going on.

And I think my favorite part of this is

that we get a continuous shot.

There's no cuts.

They don't cut away.

The person filming,

we can see him scooching out

as the footsteps are happening.

We can see the other guy.

We know it's neither of them.

And they are out

and looking back in that cabin

within seconds.

And there is absolutely nobody there.

Oh, that's weird.

I am 100% a skeptic

when it comes to that sort of thing.

We don't go to these places looking for spooky places.

We go to it for the history of these sites.

So I'm 100% a skeptic.

You know, it's one of those things

where I need 100% undeniable proof.

And I think that that is just about as close

as we've ever gotten to it

in something that was

that unexplainably spooky.

Spooky.

Hello?

Yet not necessarily...

malicious.

It gave me chills

because it's so subtle in a way.

It's almost like there's an imprint,

some sort of echo that's left behind

of whoever lived here years prior.

And the presence,

of Robert and Dan in particular,

may have played an important role

in that echo's capture on camera.

When you go there and you start to empathize

with the individuals that lived there

throughout the generations

and imagining the people who built that house,

which was probably members of the family,

and you start looking at the structure

and you're all giving your input,

like, "Wow, I liked how they did this."

Doesn't that look like an early-settlement-style...

chimney there?

It does.

I could just imagine

the ancestors that built that property being like,

"Yeah, man. Like, yeah, I built this myself."

And I'll tell you, that's one of the best stimulators

of paranormal activity.

Apparently, whether you want it or not,

because for the paranormally-disinclined duo,

it was pretty scary.

We're going to go ahead and get out of here.

So I hope you guys have--

All right, that's it. Come on.

Let's go.

It's made me definitely keep an eye out

on different explorations.

This is not something that we've forgotten.

I'm still crawling under old houses.

We're still looking at the construction

of these old houses.

And every time I go under it, I'm like,

"Dan, where are you at?

Do you remember what happened last time?"

I don't want to hear that again.

I don't want that to happen again, you know?

Ah, that's weird.

Coming up,

a bizarre creature

creeps up a Kentucky driveway.

Whether it's haunted caves,

Bigfoot sightings,

or a visitation by extraterrestrials,

parts of Appalachia appear to hold a special attraction

for the supernatural.

And if you think simply avoiding

certain areas will protect you,

think again.

Just ask one man from Kentucky,

who went through his home security camera footage

and saw this

in his driveway.

July, 2022.

Near Red River Gorge, Kentucky,

Doug McLoney and his wife have just moved into a new home

that, because of its rural locale,

they have outfitted with security cameras.

And one Sunday,

when Doug is catching up on household chores,

he goes through the footage recorded by the camera

that films his driveway

and sees something disturbing.

So he plays it back again

and records it with his phone

while he and his wife watch it down.

It's a figure,

pale, gangly,

and hunched over,

slowly sidestepping

across his driveway.

And Doug and his wife are baffled.

Hi, my name is Doug McLoney, and this is my video.

I was surprised, totally surprised.

But then again,

where I've been raised, in Kentucky,

I've just had all kinds of just weird experiences.

So part of me in my head was thinking, you know,

that's something cool.

That's something that shouldn't be out there.

It looks like his legs are bent backwards

or his joints are backwards almost.

He's definitely not human.

You can tell he doesn't walk like a human does, for sure.

What we see is this strange skulking creature

sort of menacingly walking across the driveway at night.

The figure...

seems to be all one color

as white.

It seems to be

somewhat slender

and not moving like a normal...

human gait.

There's something kind of slithery

about how it's creeping along

and looking around.

It's also curious that this thing does not look

like it's trying to hide.

It's not behaving

in a particularly stealthy manner

as it moves around

in a fairly open area.

There's a moment where the face kind of turns

toward the camera,

and it looks very...

disfigured.

You put all this together

and you think of the fact

that it's out in this rural area

in the middle of the night,

not clothed properly,

I don't really know what the hell this is.

Neither did Doug.

But when he posts the video on social media,

commenters focus on one particular creature,

the wendigo.

It kept popping up and saying

that they think that's what it was.

So I did my research,

but I'm more familiar now

than when I was before, for sure.

The Wendigo is a legend

from the Algonquin Native American tribes.

Now, they're usually described as pale gray,

very thin, elongated heads,

large, dark eyes,

kind of like a gray alien.

They're said to attack humans and eat them

or possess their souls,

so that that human has a desire to eat other humans.

If so,

not a good thing to have

in your driveway.

But also, as Doug himself said,

in these parts,

not quite as unexpected

as one might think.

I was raised in Kentucky. I was close to Mothman.

So growing up, we always heard

of supernatural things going on around us.

The Kentucky Goblins, plural, were

actually this set of small creatures

that terrorized, famously, this one household

for a long time.

They're sort of associated with a series of caves

in and around this particular region

of Kentucky.

And they end up becoming,

you know, one of this larger body of experiences

that takes place

in the Appalachian Mountains.

The woods are dense.

These are the classic fairy-tale-style woods

where, you know, things are lurking in the darkness.

And with so much supernatural activity

in one rural area,

this creature could be

almost anything.

Even something springing

from the ecosystem itself.

It could be an egregore

of what humans are to nature.

Imagine an entire forest,

like the foliage, the plants, the flowers, the fungi,

sees man as this awful, diabolical thing,

cutting down trees, burning up things,

ripping the land of all of its nature.

And the fear of these sentient beings...

has turned into an egregore

of, like, their fear of humans.

If that's the case,

then maybe it's us

who are truly terrifying.

But whatever it is,

Doug is happy to have captured it on camera,

even if only to confirm

what he's always believed,

that something else

is out there.

I feel like I actually have proof.

I always keep an eye out.

I mean, if it happens, I--

awesome.

Even more proof to show people,

you know what I mean?

Coming up,

two paranormal investigators

capture something terrifying

at a graveyard.

- That's the figure! - Whoa.

That's the figure from earlier!

That's the figure!

That's who I saw!

In the paranormal,

there's a theory that emotion, if powerful enough,

can manifest supernatural activity.

And of all the settings on Earth

that have been witness to some very powerful emotions,

cemeteries surely top the list.

Which could explain

why two paranormal investigators from Florida...

I felt like, cold air just go right behind me.

...who chose to focus their efforts

on a graveyard...

That was tall, whatever it was.

- I seen it clear as day. - Yeah.

...found themselves just steps away...

What is-- What is that?

- ...from this. - What is it?

What is that?

April 2021,

in Tampa, Florida,

paranormal investigators Carlos Maestri

and Alex Schwartz

are exploring a local cemetery

that has developed

a notorious reputation.

Apparently paranormal activity does happen

all over this cemetery,

and that's normal for cemeteries

'cause there's a lot of wandering spirits.

Hi, I'm Carlos.

Hi, I'm Alex. And this is our video.

I actually got

paranormal investigator friends

who were telling me about this cemetery.

They said they had reported seeing apparitions,

a lot of weird sounds and voices

out of thin air they heard.

Cemeteries are

probably one of the most interesting places

to investigate

because you have so many different emotions,

so many different energies,

so many different time periods.

When you start digging up the soil

and you're bringing in headstones,

usually made from marble and limestone,

there's a lot of quartz content

within those stones,

which I believe take energetic imprint

from people that come and grieve at grave sites.

Which is exactly what Alex and Carlos are

hoping to capture.

Yo, I'm definitely going to go in there.

The two decide to start their investigation

in one of the mausoleums,

a building that is the resting place

for numerous bodies.

And while there's nothing about the inside's appearance

that seems off at first,

there is something odd

about the feel of it.

Bro, did-- Did you feel that?

I felt like cold air just go right behind me.

Have you ever seen a scary movie

and that right before it just--

like that thrill just comes right in,

that gut feeling you get like,

"Don't go in there, don't go in there",

that's exactly what I felt like

whenever I was there.

And that feeling prompts them

to pull out their spirit box app

and get to work.

How many spirits are here?

Three? That's what it sounded like. Three.

Which, after some small signs

of communication...

Go away?

...leads to a much bigger one.

Can you show-- Whoa, whoa.

Whoa!

Watch again.

As a chair in the mausoleum falls over,

seemingly on its own.

I was scared,

but catching something like that's amazing.

But for Alex and Carlos,

there's much more to come.

Why do you want to throw furniture?

I don't-- It said "chair." -

- What the hell? - Give us another sign.

- Oh! - Carlos!

In a lot of videos, we see spirit activity

where very lightweight items are being manipulated

in some way.

In this case, though, this is

rather heavy-looking upholstered furniture

that would take quite a bit of force exerted on it

to move it around or push it over.

That was clear as day.

That was clear as day. That was clear as day.

- You saw that? - I caught it on camera.

In my mind, I was thinking,

like, what did I just document?

What did I just catch on camera?

And the more activity they capture,

the more it seems to manifest.

Hang on. Hang on. I just seen a shadow figure.

What?

I seen, like, this black figure, like, move

outside the frame of the door.

I know what I seen with my eyes.

It was definitely a clear shadow figure

that moved. 100%.

That was tall, whatever it was.

- I seen it clear as day. - Bro.

I seen it clear as day.

I don't see anything.

And though they seem to lose sight of the figure,

it may be much closer

than they think.

Because when they decide

to move their investigation elsewhere...

We're going to go check out the other mausoleum

on the other side of the cemetery.

...they spot something

on the way.

- What is that? - What is it?

What is that?

What is that?

- What is that? - What is that?

That's the figure!

- Whoa, whoa! - That's the figure from earlier!

That's the figure! That's who I saw!

Oh, my God!

A dark figure.

Perhaps the same one Alex saw before.

Seems to walk across the wall

of the opposite mausoleum.

It's one thing to see it with your physical eyes,

'cause you could be in a haunted place.

You see things out the corner of your eye all the time.

But to catch it on camera that clear is amazing.

- What is that? - What is it?

What is that?

When they're outside

and they see that shadow figure,

it's something very solid.

And it seems to just kind of take off the other way,

almost as if to not want to be seen,

not want to be caught.

But it is caught,

though in this case,

it doesn't make identifying exactly what it is any easier.

You'll see apparitions of people at grave sites,

but it's not necessarily the apparition

of the person buried there.

It'll probably be a loved one

who went there every day grieving,

missing this person,

and then that type of energy,

that sorrow, that sadness,

that imprint manifests as grief,

as like a shadow person.

It's like, faceless.

Faceless,

and perhaps impossible to put a finger on.

But Alex and Carlos are more than comfortable

not knowing for sure

and end their investigation

for the night.

That's the thing about paranormal.

Everything's unknown.

There's more questions than answers.

So I don't know what we saw that night.

I don't know what we experienced.

All I know is it was terrifying. And...

what we caught on camera is like once in a lifetime.

- What is it? - What is that? What is that?

What is that?

That's the figure!

- Whoa, whoa. - That's the figure from earlier!

That's the figure! That's who I saw.

Coming up,

bike riders in Mexico

pass a legendary apparition.

Capturing an entity on camera

is extraordinary.

But while seeing,

in some cases,

is truly believing,

there is another element to these sightings

that should always be paid close attention to.

The literal

feel of the moment.

Because often,

these phenomena aren't just visible,

they're palpable.

And depending on the particulars

of those feelings,

it could be the difference

between an incredible story

and never

making it home.

May 2022,

in San Pablo Etla, Mexico.

It's around 9:00 p.m.

and José Maria Rios and a few friends

are doing what they do on most days after work.

Huh?

Recording their bike ride along trails

at the La Mesita Eco Tourism Park in town,

with just their bikes' headlights

showing the way.

And for José and his friends...

... it's just like any

of the many other rides they've taken.

Or so they think.

Because, later that night,

when José sends the footage to his friends,

they spot something...

strange.

Watch closely.

Did you see it?

Watch again in slow motion

along the side of the trail.

A figure,

dark, immobile,

and at the time,

completely unnoticed

by José and his friends.

I'm José Maria Rios,

and this is my video.

If you look at it closely,

it resembles what we call here an entity,

a ghost.

I watched it again and again,

two or three times.

There came a point

where I felt astonishment

because we had never seen anything like it.

This one really, really spooked me.

It looks like there's

maybe a translucent woman,

a legit apparition.

She appears to be wearing

maybe a purple or black dress.

She's got what looks like maybe a veil

or long hair kind of obscuring her face a little bit.

One thing to me that really stood out is

it looks like its hand is pointing right at the ground,

almost as if it's trying to tell José something.

Could this be

a sacred spot?

Could there be something buried right there

that it wants exposed?

Or could it even be perhaps the area

where this being had lost its life

due to some tragedy?

José and his friends have the same questions.

So the next night...

...they return.

And when they get to the spot where the figure was standing,

they don't see anything out of the ordinary.

- But... -

We traveled the route and it feels

something heavy

because the environment changed,

and you can feel the cold air in some parts.

But then, in the place where we saw it,

it was hot.

It's no surprise to me

that they're going in between warm and cold spots,

because in order for these types

of apparitions to manifest,

they have to draw energy from somewhere.

Typically, when you encounter

a ghost or a spirit,

you'll feel a cold sensation

from that sudden extraction of energy

that kind of leaves that vacuum.

But when you feel the temperature raise

and it gets hot,

that usually teeters over to something

maybe a little more nefarious.

José is thinking along the same lines.

In every place, there is an urban legend.

Here in particular,

there is always talk about La Llorona.

A woman with a veil,

legend says cries for her children.

So that's what we think of and that's why we felt fear.

And rightfully so.

But could the specifics of the apparition's look

point to something else?

Maybe this is something like La Llorona,

but I'm getting, like, a whole era

because of what she's wearing

and the colors that I'm seeing.

This apparition is wearing

what looked to be like a purple dress,

like a purple attire.

She kind of seems like she was

in mourning attire, but specific mourning attire.

It's Georgian mourning attire,

even to like, the color of the dress.

That was the color of mourning for women

of a certain class.

If she was truly mourning the death of somebody,

maybe it had affected her

in such a way where she...

couldn't take it anymore and took her own life?

Possibly.

But whatever it was,

seeing and feeling it over those two nights

has changed José and his friends

forever.

From that moment on, we all started to believe

a little bit more in this.

And that it is something paranormal.

Because like they say,

you don't believe until you see.

And this happened to us.

Coming up...

What does it look like

when 3,000 haunted artifacts

all live under the same roof?

Haunted objects

have a bad reputation,

and rightfully so,

because whether connected to a specific entity

or simply used as a conduit

for any number of entities,

they generally...

cause trouble,

which is why most people look

for ways to rid themselves of these objects...

forever.

Unless, of course,

you run a haunted museum,

like the one in Nebraska,

and your goal is to get

as many of these troublemakers

in the same place

at the same time...

and let them wreak havoc.

March, 2023,

in Omaha, Nebraska.

When we last featured the Museum of Shadows,

a four-story paranormal collection

of haunted artifacts,

museum owner Nate Raterman was

overflowing with creepy security footage

of various objects moving...

on their own.

And four years later,

Nate's new captures...

are just as startling.

I'm Nate Raterman, and these are my videos.

So the museum houses

over 3,000 verified haunted artifacts,

and we do add new items every single week

to the museum.

And with every new item added to the collection,

Nate says the activity skyrockets.

It's definitely increased dramatically.

It gets pretty intense.

Like this wheelchair...

that is caught rolling

on its own.

The wheelchair was actually from a psychiatric ward

and it literally--

it just randomly moves out into the room.

Um, it's really--

it happens actually quite often.

And a portrait that suddenly...

falls off the wall.

That photo's been hanging there for a few years.

I mean, it's got an attachment to it

and it's on a hook with like, a wire on the back.

So it actually lifts up and then comes down.

There's also activity

that's not clearly attached

to anything at all.

Like this sudden flurry of small orbs

falling from above.

It's really interesting

because it starts with like a couple

and then it's just all of a sudden

there's so many in one spot.

I've looked through the footage

a dozen times and it's just--

it's really-- it's just different.

And it makes me wonder, you know?

Now, haunted items can elicit activity

in one of two ways.

Either A,

the item itself has an energy attachment.

Maybe there's a spirit or some residual energy on it

that is causing this activity to manifest. Or...

there's nothing special about the item,

but it's acting as a catalyst

that's setting off pre-existing energy

that's already in the house.

There's always something different that happens

and... it amazes me

because some things are real little that happen

and others are really dramatic.

And perhaps most dramatic

is Claire,

a doll discovered tied to a chair

inside the basement crawl space

of an old home in New Orleans

and donated to the museum.

Claire actually has

a very demonic attachment to it.

Very, very evil.

I've seen it myself,

where her case almost looks like--

the glass in it will fog over

as if she's breathing inside the glass,

or the case itself will start shaking.

That's just her--

That's just its entity's way of letting them know,

like, "Hey, I'm here, so be careful."

Another way Claire does that

is by moving.

Watch the leg to the left.

The way her leg moves,

it moves very naturally

like if a human were to move a leg.

It takes so much energy

for an entity or a spirit to move

physical objects in our reality

because they are not built

to interact with physical things anymore

because they're just forms of energy.

So even to move

the doll Claire's leg

the slightest bit...

takes so much energy.

But where is that energy coming from?

And how did it get inside Claire

or any of these objects

in the first place?

I believe it's all about man emotional attachment.

I think that any object

that means a lot to somebody,

a family heirloom,

any one of these objects that is so loved

or even so not liked,

if they have bad feelings about this object,

there's still some kind of emotionality

that is imprinted on this object.

And can that energy be released in the future?

And can we experience that energy?

There's a lot of people that would agree with that.

I think that energy stays on that object.

And if you take one object like that

and add 2,999 others...

Most people don't have

any haunted objects in their house.

Some people might have one.

A few people may have five.

But to have 3,000 haunted objects

under one roof,

and then you trying to wonder about why what's going on?

That is a recipe for paranormal disaster.

You just asking for trouble.

You asking for trouble.

Thankfully, for Nate,

he welcomes

all of that trouble,

old and new.

I love the paranormal field.

I've been doing it for quite some time.

I mean, even prior to the museum,

I've been in the field for over 20 years,

so I don't see it ending anytime soon.

I mean, it does startle you at times,

but it's such a rush to do it at the same time.

Coming up...

a mysterious phenomenon in the sky...

baffles the residents

of a city in China.

For most people who see

something strange in the sky,

the most challenging part

could be trying to explain to other people

what you think you saw,

even if you captured it

on camera.

Unless, of course,

everyone else you know...

saw it too.

That's what recently happened

to the populace of one city in China,

who looked into the sky

during their morning commute

and saw this.

September 2023,

in Heze, Shandong Province, China.

It's rush hour,

and millions of citizens are

going through their usual morning routines

on their way to work.

But today...

is anything but routine,

because in the sky above,

an unidentified phenomenon.

Bright,

strangely shaped,

and...

as another angle of the activity

from a separate part of the city shows,

it's mystifying everyone...

watching from below.

I'm going to say it straight up.

I don't know

what the heck we're looking at here.

I don't even know if it's flying.

It seems to be more like some sort of light phenomenon,

but one that I've never seen before.

Unlike other lights in the sky that we see,

these were not clearly defined.

Not that all the lights we see

in the sky are clearly defined,

but these weren't round.

They weren't any particular shape.

These pieces of light almost looked

like fragments of glass.

Like they had edges that made it look

like they'd maybe been broken.

And maybe...

there's something to that.

It almost looked like a rip

in the fabric of space-time

is what I was getting.

I felt like we were looking through...

to some other world.

We all understand

that we are only nothing but a mere mustard seed

in the drop of what the universe actually is.

So what is outside of that?

And what if...

that was a rip in just the soul

of whatever that could be?

A terrifying prospect,

and one that was collectively shared

by many.

This isn't just

the idiosyncratic experience of one person.

This is a community.

This is a full group of people.

We can see them.

Different angles, different shots,

people looking up, pointing, staring at it,

talking to each other about it.

There are a lot of different people seeing this.

And any time we have

that element of consensus or community

in something like this,

it adds this whole other layer of authentication.

So clearly,

it's authentic.

even if we don't know exactly what it...

is.

There are, like, three types of phenomena like this.

You have your UFOs, which are usually saucers,

your UAPs, which is Unidentified Aerial Phenomena,

which is lights, orbs, and everything.

The third category is called Other,

which is just like, totally unexplainable,

and it has its own category,

'cause you just don't know what it is,

and I think that's what this is.

This isn't a UFO, this isn't a UAP,

this is just something else.

What should you do in the event

you witness something paranormal?

- What is that? - Sounds like someone's in the house.

Here are some tips to get it all on camera.

Check your footage.

And then...

check it again.

Be wary

of any late-night visitors.

Be brave,

but not too brave.

- That's the figure! - Whoa.

That's the figure from earlier!

That's the figure!
