Next on "Paranormal, Caught on Camera."

A man in Virginia...

I heard something stomping in the woods.

...stares down a terrifying creature...

I'm a little freaking spooked right now.

...in the woods.

I felt like I was being stalked, like something was

intentionally watching me.

A homeowner in Memphis...

...reckons with a visitor...

...who's a ghost.

A couple in Iowa

drive miles in the middle of the night to confront an only

partially visible entity.

I just kind of froze, because I can see it

on the camera on my phone, but I can't see it

in front of me through the windshield.

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

I mean, that's unmistakable.

That is a UFO.

...to believe.

Haunted houses are one of the most common themes

in paranormal lore.

And while most people may assume the ghosts who dwell

there are from those who once lived and died inside,

one theory posits that it could sometimes be simply

a case of wandering spirits

waiting at the front door

for the opportunity...

to slip in.

One man in Memphis knows this all too well.

Because he may have just recently opened his door...

...for his new...

invisible roommate.

July 2025, in Memphis, Tennessee.

Hunter Mathis is walking to his kitchen,

preparing to clean up after cooking dinner,

when he spots something through the frosted glass

of his front door that freaks him out so much,

he arms himself and starts recording.

There is what appears to be

the shadow of a person at his door,

not knocking or ringing the bell,

but seemingly...

just standing there.

So Hunter opts to investigate,

camera in hand.

Literally no one.

I'm Hunter Mathis and I filmed this video.

I saw it at the end of my hallway, legit thought

it was just somebody on my front porch.

And so I walked back around the corner and actually got

a kitchen knife just to slide in my pocket.

Prior to walking down, I had even checked my camera

and it was not working. And so when I opened the door...

I was kind of baffled because there was

literally nothing there.

And I, like, started looking around and I realized I did not

see anybody across the street at the front of the street.

And I walked back in the house and I was like,

"I know I didn't make this up."

And when I rewatched the video, that was

actually when I noticed the lights go through it.

And I realized, "OK, if somebody was on my front porch,

their physical body would have blocked out these lights."

And then if they were across the street, the car would have

blocked out their shadow too.

I was very confused, and I got chills up and down my arms,

and I got a little spooked after that, for sure.

This was pretty unnerving.

It appears to be a rather tall man

and also a man wearing a hat.

So you're kind of thinking, "OK, well, maybe this is just

"somebody, you know, knocking on the door.

"Maybe it's a neighbor.

Maybe it's somebody that they know."

It's not like it's stationary and kind of locked in position.

It's moving.

And as a person would do at the front door of any home.

When he opens the door, it's not as if somebody could

have run away. There's nowhere to go.

There's a yard with a fence and a gate,

and there's nobody in sight.

And it's not just that there's no one there.

There's nothing that could have made so obviously

a human silhouette against that fogged glass.

There's no one on the far side

of the street under the street lamp.

There's no one to the left or to the right.

And no one on the doorbell camera.

I did find it incredibly weird that our front door camera,

in that specific moment, did not work.

And then it just shows no video.

Whereas, if we had deleted the video,

that video itself would not even show up.

So, it was just showing this camera was not working

in this moment.

It could have been that, potentially, it had been

siphoning the energy from your front door camera

for a whole 30 minutes.

And you only captured that one moment

where you decided to confront whatever that was

on the opposite end of your door.

Allowing whatever it may have been...

to slip right in.

There's literally...

There are countless tales throughout folklore

and paranormal theory about more malevolent entities

that linger by doors or seek to gain

entrance by being invited in.

Think demons, vampires, that type of thing.

I have never heard the lore that if you open up your door,

you're inviting something in.

I guess, for me, I read up on the lore,

but I wouldn't allow it to scare me.

I mean, I have faith.

And living in this house,

that faith

comes in very handy.

For our house, it's not uncommon to have

sounds, to hear footsteps,

to hear just weird different things.

It's been a home for about three or four families.

It's also been a lawyer's office.

It was a brothel at one point.

And we do live across from the forensic center as well.

So, I do think that the house, if there's anywhere

that's possible to be haunted,

our house is probably a good candidate for that.

I think there's a possibility that the spirits that are

attached to these bodies have the capability of,

like, leaving the forensic center

and kind of roaming around the neighborhood

looking for answers or feeling kind of in a daze

or not really realizing that they have,

in fact, actually died from a traumatic event.

And so, a part of me thinks that that's the reason why

we saw this shadow on the doorstep.

A realization that, despite his faith,

has caused Hunter to rethink how he might react

to any future unannounced visits.

I'm gonna be more cautious opening the front door.

I don't think I'm gonna jump to that anymore.

For me, I guess it's reignited my curiosity.

It's re-reminded me about

there is the afterlife, and it's made me

more curious, if anything.

Coming up, a mysterious beast...

I heard something stomping in the woods.

...stalks a man in Virginia.

I'm a little freaking spooked right now!

2 Peering into the darkness,

whether a hallway, deep hole

or wooded forest...

can be slightly unnerving.

Because although odds are you will see absolutely nothing

out of the ordinary, there is always

the off chance you'll spot something...

looking right back at you.

And while that something will most often

be a harmless creature,

there are, unfortunately,

no guarantees.

Case in point, a man in Virginia

who only knows one thing for certain about what he spotted

behind his rental property.

I heard something stomping in the woods, something huge.

It wasn't some fluffy, little woodland beast.

I'm not gonna lie.

I'm a little freaking spooked right now!

December 2024, in Williamsburg, Virginia.

It's almost 10 PM, and Robert Earl White is

on vacation in a home he has rented with his family.

But when he walks out onto the back patio,

and looks into the woods behind the rental property,

things take a turn for the bizarre.

In the darkness...

glowing red eyes.

Followed by...

footsteps.

I'm not gonna lie.

I'm a little freaking spooked right now.

Then, only a couple of minutes later...

the eyes are back.

Only this time, a different color.

Followed again...

by footsteps.

What on earth

is out there?

Hi, my name is Robert Earl White,

and I recorded this video.

Most animals in the wild, when they hear human being,

they run the opposite way.

The fact that this thing was coming at me...

Why is it coming closer?

...that sent, you know, shivers up my spine.

And then it stopped,

and I just kept the camera rolling.

And then the eyes pop up again,

except they're white this time.

And then they dematerialize, and I hear this sudden rush

of footsteps running right towards me.

I felt like I was being stalked, like something was

intentionally watching me.

And I don't like that feeling,

especially when I can't see what it is.

I'm not gonna lie,

I'm a little freaking spooked right now.

This one is peak weirdness and has 100% cryptid energy.

I mean, there's something out there.

Very clearly, we see these glowing eyes,

they disappear, they move, they show up

somewhere else again.

I could hear footsteps of this creature...

seeming to approach, though we don't see it

ever emerge into the light that is around the deck that

the person holding the camera is standing on.

And while Robert never gets a clear view of the creature,

he takes his best guess at what he believes it is.

I labeled this Skinwalker

because I didn't know what else to label it.

Now, in the In the area of Williamsburg, Virginia,

there were many Native Americans before the colonists came there.

So it has a great Native history there with many legends

and lore, and it's very possible that it could have

been something connected to that, very much

like the Skinwalker.

Could it be a Skinwalker?

Well, I mean, it certainly does fall in line

with some of the lore.

Trying to mimic an animal, something that's local

to the area, but obviously can't mimic it all the way,

being up in the tree,

and next thing you know, it's scurrying around on foot

and making sounds, and then it's far back,

eyes changing colors again.

But given the creature's behavior

and the location of the capture,

might it actually be

another cryptid?

I think what we're looking at here is a genuine Bigfoot.

When it comes to Bigfoot,

they're not necessarily solitary.

We found that they move in larger groups,

and so sometimes someone may see these

bright glowing eyes that are seven, eight, nine feet

off the ground, they blink out, and then they're seeing eyes

appear somewhere else.

And so there's theories that these things could

be interdimensional, they have the ability to cloak,

or they can move really fast.

I've experienced this where they can move within seconds

across a distance without making a sound.

There are multiple cryptid sightings throughout Virginia.

On the western part of the state, in Appalachia,

we have the wood booger, which is essentially

a Sasquatch type of creature.

But my favorite is the Goochland Devil Monkey.

And this is said to be this monkey-wolf hybrid that is

covered in black hair, has a flat snout, pointy ears,

is muscular, but sinewy,

and has glowing red eyes.

Whatever it is, it's definitely outside

the realms of our normal reality.

One thing's for certain.

It's driven Robert to dig into mysteries like this

a little deeper.

When you actually encounter something paranormal,

you're left with more questions than you are answers.

And I have a thousand questions about what that could have been.

The fact that people can't agree on exactly what this is

is the definition of paranormal.

It's unexplainable.

I'm not gonna lie.

I'm a little freaking spooked right now.

Coming up, a grieving daughter is visited...

...by the spirit of her recently-departed father.

2 Sometimes, after a loved one dies,

there are those who claim to sense their presence.

Whether by a change in the temperature,

lights flickering,

or even...

seeing or hearing them.

Some theories

suggest it's the deceased's residual energy

or their soul

in the process of separating from their body.

Others see it as an intentional final goodbye.

Whatever the case,

for one woman in Montana

it helped her find the light

in the darkest of times.

Dad, I know...

September 19th, 2025. Great Falls, Montana.

Alicia White is in a hospital room

recording a video to update her family and friends

about her father Jack who passed away

just moments ago.

As soon as I walked in the door, I know he was gone.

Went and grabbed the nurse and she said,

she was literally just in here, so he had just passed.

My name is Alicia, and this is my video.

Sorry.

But he's gone.

The nurses already came in,

and they called time of death, and so I'm just

sitting in there with him and made

a couple small videos, uh,

to my children's father and my best friend.

And I walk in the door, and I find him dead.

Survived all night long.

I woke up this morning and text Lisa, his wife,

if there was any changes.

A few days later, Alicia replays

one of the videos, and what she sees is stunning.

Watch very closely. In slow motion.

Did you catch it?

It's a dark figure reflected in the screen

of the TV behind Alicia.

And she knows exactly who it is.

I mean, I...

I see my dad.

And my heart stopped.

I see, you know, a humanoid figure,

and I was zoomed in, and I ran upstairs.

I kicked my son's door open, and I was like,

"Look, I caught your grandfather's spirit on camera."

I took a screenshot and zoomed in even farther, and I see two,

like, skin-tone, could be arms, and then you see

a head and black hair.

And the similarities don't stop there.

My dad's signature outfit was the black T-shirt, blue jeans.

And so I was sold 100% that it was my dad's spirit.

And it changed everything for me, because then I knew

in that moment I wasn't alone in the hospital room.

My dad was right there with me.

We see a shadowy reflection in the television set that looks

very much like the form of a man standing there.

We see the head and the shoulders.

Not only does it look like a man, it looks specifically

like this photo that the grieving woman shows us

of her own father.

But if it is her father,

why did he appear at that very moment?

I think that he, you know, was there to comfort me,

for sure. I mean,

we don't know what happens exactly to your spirit

when it exits your physical form, but, yeah,

I definitely think he made sure that I seen him.

When spirits first transition, there may definitely be

some sort of veil that's being crossed.

And maybe in that moment...

you are allowed to see on both sides, like maybe the living

can see the person that's passing.

Passing can see those that are

living in that brief moment of transition.

I've had a situation where my younger sister passed away

of cancer. And, um...

maybe five or 10 minutes afterwards,

I felt arms wrapping around me, giving me a hug from behind.

And I do feel like that was her saying goodbye.

To me, that's further proof there is life after death.

And our loved ones do want to sometimes comfort us

and let us know that they're OK and that eventually

we will see each other again.

Alicia couldn't agree more and is thrilled she has

this video to cherish for years to come.

I feel like it was a gift from him, you know?

Like, he knew where we were mentally and knew

that we didn't really get to say goodbye.

And so I think that it's wonderful,

and we couldn't be happier.

And it really turned

an emotional, sad moment into joy.

Coming up, a couple in Iowa, reckon with something...

...invisible to the naked eye.

2 For many people,

the idea of encountering paranormal phenomena...

is terrifying.

But occasionally...

a potentially supernatural situation

is so strange...

and so fascinating...

that one feels compelled to get to the bottom of it

immediately.

Just ask one couple in Iowa,

who saw something inexplicable on their home security camera

and drove 25 minutes at 2 AM

to confront it.

August, 2025.

In Hamburg, Iowa.

It's two in the morning, and Grant Laumann

and Lexi Schebaum are at Lexi's mother's house,

drifting off to sleep,

when Lexi's phone...

...receives repeated notifications

from the security cameras

at Grant's family's home, which is miles away,

that motion is being detected on the property.

So Lexi checks the app

and sees this.

A small collection of strange floating lights by the garage,

seemingly...

acting on their own accord.

Freaked out, Lexi and Grant rush to their car and drive

25 minutes to Grant's family home.

But when they get there

and shine their car's headlights

toward the area of the activity,

they see nothing.

And yet...

...according to the feed from the home security camera,

something...

is still there.

- I'm Lexi. - I'm Grant.

And this is our video.

When they would move, it was almost like they were too fast

for the camera to pick it up, if that makes sense.

I was just confused because when we pulled in the driveway,

there was nothing physically there.

But then...

and you could still see these things moving around.

I found this really intriguing

because of the multiple views that we had.

And they're picking up these three anomalies that looks like

three different lights, but almost they have

some sort of form, almost like they're walking.

And we're not completely seeing the reveal.

I can tell you clearly off the bat, it's not cobwebs,

spiderwebs, it's not insects. You can tell that right away.

I don't really know what it is we're looking at here.

Very unusual.

And apparently unusual enough for a half-hour,

middle-of-the-night car ride.

What makes this story credible is how compelled these people

were to get up in the middle of the night and actually drive

to the location to find out

what's going on by confronting it

and trying to explain it, trying to debunk it.

It's kind of like you're trying to maintain

your own sanity in the face of absolute weirdness.

And in fact, when Lexi used to live at this house

with Grant a short while ago...

...she experienced this type of absolute weirdness

on the regular.

I couldn't sleep in the bedroom because it felt weird.

Like, not something watching you, but something's there

with you type of thing.

So I would go to the living room and sleep on the couch,

and I would lay there for a couple minutes,

and it would sound like someone was walking through the hallway.

And I'd get up and look, and I would text him and say,

"Someone's in the house. I'm getting out."

And then I moved out the next week after that.

Going to investigate to see what it is that these string

of lights are in front of this garage,

I think, is the first step to like gaining power

over the situation, especially if it's something

that's really uncomfortable, like having to put yourself

in the space of that phenomena gives you more insight

on like what that energy wants, why it's even there,

and how you could set a boundary with it.

And so taking the steps to investigate this is

the first step of like kind of freeing yourself from the fear

of the phenomena.

And that approach seems to have worked because these days,

as far as Lexi and Grant are concerned,

whatever they spotted that night by the garage

is welcome to stay

as long as it likes.

Sometimes I still get that weird creepy feeling

that something's here, but it doesn't

bother me anymore.

It doesn't really seem like whatever this is

is out to get anybody.

It's almost like this is its home, and we are just

living in its world.

And we're there with it, and it's there with us.

Coming up,

is this mysterious figure in Australia

a specter

from the past?

2 If one believes that the spirit or residual energy

remains long after the body,

then it only stands to reason

that the Earth, large as it is,

is becoming more and more crowded with these entities

as time marches on.

So much so

that the chances of catching evidence of one,

even in seemingly remote areas,

gets better by the day.

Just ask one family in Australia who stopped

for a photo-op on a wooded hike

and discovered they were very, very far

from being alone.

July, 2024.

In Queensland, Australia,

Desmond Shore, his wife, and their three children

are on a family trip, hiking through

the Bunya Mountains National Park,

when Desmond, noticing the sunlight

peeking through the tall trees,

stops to take a quick photo.

The family then continues on their hike,

not giving their photo-op a second thought

until the next day,

as the family reviews their pictures from the hike,

and Desmond's daughter, Rose, spots something...

chilling

In the distance,

an unfamiliar figure

nearly blending with the woods

and appearing to stare directly

at the camera.

Hi, we're the Shore family and we captured this photo.

The figure appears to me to be a woman

wearing a long black dress that

doesn't really suit the time or the place

because we're in the middle of a long bushwalk.

And I don't know what the expression is on her face,

but she looks a little bit disturbed by our presence.

Bone chilling is about the best word I have.

I mean, if I was reviewing photos and I saw that,

that would definitely chill me to the core.

Zooming in slowly to this photo,

it is undeniable there is a woman in a dress

standing in the middle of the forest.

And the way she's standing, I mean, her posture

and her manner and what you can see of what might be her facial

expression looks almost stoic or proud.

I don't even know how to put it.

The color scheme of the photograph has a lot

of warmth to it, right?

It's got greens and browns, and skin tone colors and all

of those things, but then you get to this entity,

and it almost seems like it has been

completely sucked of any color.

And that's usually a telltale sign that you captured some

sort of apparition because it doesn't seem to quite fit

within the environment.

We were shocked because we were so sure

that there was nobody on that track with us.

All of us had chills.

I think the kids even screamed at the time.

So, if the apparent woman

wasn't there when they took the photo,

does that mean she was a ghost?

And if so,

what was she doing there?

There's a high probability of intelligence going on with this

apparition caught in this photograph.

I mainly say that because she's looking directly at the person

taking the photo, eyes essentially locked

toward the camera.

Maybe she feels that they're trespassing or infringing

on her space or her territory.

I would say that this is some kind of place memory

or residual type of phenomena that they witnessed.

It was just the right time,

right place, the conditions were correct,

and you had the right people there

when you can witness something that

has happened in the past.

And after some research on the area,

Desmond thinks he might have a clue as to what specifically

the woman could have been doing there

in the past.

One thing that I find interesting about

the Bunya Mountains, it was a meeting place

for all the different Aboriginal tribes from around the area,

because there's a tree.

It's named after the Bunya pine tree, and these trees

get big pine nuts on them, and the Aboriginal tribes would

all come and meet there so that they could participate

in a feast on the Bunya nuts during the season each year.

Perhaps this image of this person that we see is just

repeating that ritual, that yearly pilgrimage to this area

for the specific reason of gathering those nuts.

Perhaps.

But regardless of its reason for being there, the family is

just happy to have captured it

on camera

and is now

on the lookout for more.

Having this experience of capturing this figure

on the film, it makes me think a lot more about the history

of the places that we visit.

I feel like this has really opened me up to the concept

that there could be more around us that we don't sense.

And I do feel like we captured something out of this world.

Coming up, nightclub workers in Vegas are lured outside.

There's a UFO directly above the club.

By a low-flying alien craft.

I mean, that's unmistakable.

That is a UFO.

2 While it's never been officially verified,

many people believe that Las Vegas,

when viewed from space,

is the single brightest city on Earth.

So for its nearly 700,000 residents,

you might think all of that light would make spotting a UFO

nearly impossible.

And while that might be true

for phenomena that is miles and miles away,

it's a little bit different when the objects in question

are hovering a few hundred feet above the dance floor.

I mean, that's unmistakable.

That is a UFO.

December 22nd, 2022.

In Las Vegas, Nevada.

It's around midnight.

And Brett Feinstein is working at a nightclub,

when a coworker clues him into something extraordinary

happening outside.

There's a UFO directly above the club.

And when Brett goes to verify the claim for himself...

Oh, my god!

...he spots a red, glowing light high above the clouds

surrounded on all sides by white lights.

And Brett is stunned.

I mean, that's unmistakable.

That is a UFO.

My name is Brett, and this is my video.

Oh, my god!

My initial feeling when I saw what was up in the sky was just

a general sense of awe.

You know, it was like, "What could this...

possibly be?"

There is something in the sky.

It was a feeling where you become elated in a sense

where you feel like you're part of something that's

really important and big that's happening

and there's no explanation for it.

We see what lights projected from the ground look like

on the underside of the clouds.

But whatever this object is, it's definitely

on the other side of the cloud.

It's not coming from the ground.

You can tell within three seconds

that these aren't planes,

that they're not helicopters, and that they're stationary,

and they are somewhat still transparent or hidden.

They may be hidden, but they're present enough

for Brett to formulate a working theory

about what they might be.

It seemed like we were looking at the bottom of something

that was huge above us, and that the lights

were underneath the ship.

That's what I was thinking,

that it was some type of ship up there.

It definitely had the look of one giant ship with,

like, multiple components.

The different lights and the different parts of it

suggested, like, a complex, massive

sort of craft.

And those aren't the only elements

that suggest one massive craft.

When our lights would shine up there, it actually--

there was a reflection.

What ends up being really interesting is when

the spotlights from the club end up kind of pinging

this metallic object in the clouds.

Now, that's what gets interesting.

Was that metal? Was that some kind of material

that can reflect light?

Because it tells us that there is something up there that

seems to be solid.

Whatever that something was,

it brought pretty much everyone out of the club.

We were just mesmerized.

I mean, I walked out there into a sea of people

just looking straight up into the sky.

And it was clearly a moment that Brett and everyone else

will never forget.

It was the kind of togetherness that everybody

felt while we were underneath whatever was happening.

And there was this sense of awe that can't be recreated

ever again.

I mean, that's unmistakable.

That is a UFO.

What should you do in the event you witness

something paranormal?

Hey, is it still showing?

Here are some tips to get it all on camera.

Check your photos and then

check them again.

Be aware of the dangers...

I heard someone stomping in the woods.

...lurking around you.

I'm a little freaking spooked right now.

Trust that what you're seeing...

What in the actual hell?

...really is something paranormal.

There's literally--

And...

That is a UFO.
