Next on "Paranormal Caught on Camera."

An investigator in Argentina

explores a cemetery that's filled...

...with curious ghosts.

As soon as he starts to enter onto the property,

there seems to be some kind of eyes on him.

A mannequin head...

comes alive...

in Arizona.

We were all just shocked, not scared, more just amazed

that we captured something.

Did a mythical being...

make an appearance...

in Michigan?

It kind of flew by quick and I was like,

holy cow, that definitely looks to be like a pixie or a fairy.

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

...to believe.

You may have heard of the uncanny valley effect,

or even experienced it firsthand.

It's that unsettling feeling one gets

when an object appears almost, but not quite...

human-like,

such as a robot,

a doll,

or perhaps these days,

an AI-generated persona.

And though the feeling itself is relatively harmless,

if the cause of that uncanniness

happens to be an unknown entity,

there's no telling what could happen.

Just ask a family from Arizona

who hadn't been the least bit bothered

by having a mannequin head in their home,

until it came to life.

July 1st, 2025, Tucson, Arizona.

Rianne Maldonado,

an aesthetics educator and psychic medium,

is watching TV with her family,

when something bizarre happens.

Keep your eyes on the mannequin head on the table

that Rianne's daughters use to practice hair-styling.

Did you see it?

It just moved...

on its own.

Which no one seems to notice,

until it does it a second time.

Catches Rianne's attention.

And then...

moves again.

My name is Rianne and this is my video.

We were just watching TV, and I look over and I saw that

the mannequin had moved.

And I thought, "Well, that's weird."

And I said something, but nobody saw anything but me.

And then she did a full head turn towards my husband.

And you can see in the video, I'm gesturing wildly,

telling him she moved, and I'm not crazy.

So he got up to look behind the table

and see if anything was there,

and there wasn't.

We were all, like, just shocked.

Not scared, because I kinda do this stuff for a living.

More just amazed that we captured something.

No, no.

Can you imagine being in that moment?

You're just all sitting around watching TV

and having a normal day, and then this happens?

I mean, the thing turns its head,

literally, like a living entity.

This should be in a horror film.

It's not a subtle movement.

It really kind of snaps its head around.

And it almost seems like it's going back and forth

between people, like checking everybody out.

When I think about haunted objects like dolls and puppets

and toys and things of that nature,

like, a mannequin head to me seems like

another humanoid toy or a doll kind of figure that

would definitely attract something like a haunt.

And it turns out there was one member of the family

who sensed something was off with the head

the moment it was brought into the house.

Their dog.

Ohh.

She's generally a really easygoing dog.

Nothing really gets to her, but she was not happy,

did not like that mannequin at all.

There's no doubt in my mind that animals,

especially pets like cats and dogs,

have this ability to pick up on things that we can't see.

Maybe that dog was reacting because it could sense

or see the spirit that was attached to it.

But if there is a spirit attached to it...

why exactly?

We see a lot of videos where representations of humans

like dolls or puppets are somehow animated

by the supernatural.

Perhaps spirits gravitate toward them because it looks

like the physical body that they once possessed themselves.

Maybe there's an entity that's like,

"I love the fact that these girls

spend time beautifying this thing."

And so whatever spirit might be inhabiting that mannequin is

probably enjoying the attention of it all.

That could very well be a possibility.

And how special is that, that a spirit who maybe didn't

have that kind of attention in life now is getting to feel

something like that and feel important.

So, yeah, there's a lot of beauty in that.

Or maybe the spirit knew Rianne was a medium

and wanted attention, specifically, from her.

The psychics and mediums I know tend to have

more experiences than the average person.

The thought in the supernatural is that these people

become lighthouses in a very dark ocean

or, if you will, a moth to the flame.

Being a medium, I'm sure she's used to that.

That's gonna happen pretty much anywhere that she goes

or anywhere that she lives.

Often, I will have something like this-- similar-- happen,

or a situation that will then make me think of somebody else,

and I'll reach out to them, and it will end up being

that I have a message for them unknowingly,

and I needed to share it with them from Spirit.

If a spirit was trying to get a message across

to Rianne, it's unclear what it was trying to communicate.

And the mannequin head hasn't moved again

since that day, which, frankly,

Rianne is happy about.

I talk to dead people every day.

That's my job, so I'm not afraid.

But when you actually are in the house

and something moves and it's a head,

it's a little weird.

Coming up, a ghost hunter in Argentina...

...piques the interest of cemetery spirits.

2 Most paranormal investigators set out in hopes of collecting

evidence of spiritual activity,

understanding the afterlife,

and communicating with the dead.

How many spirits are we talking to?

Three.

But have you ever considered that in some cases,

perhaps the investigators

themselves are being investigated...

by the dead?

That may have been the case recently in Argentina,

when a man visited a purportedly haunted cemetery,

and suddenly found himself

at the center of some intense paranormal attention.

January 2024, Peyrano, Argentina.

Frank Mendez has just arrived at a cemetery

that according to locals, is haunted by a number of spirits

that protect the grounds from vandals

and others who are up to no good.

My name is Frank, and this is my video.

As you're walking through there,

you're hearing any little piece of sound.

Your instincts are going off the wall.

You just feel like something's about to happen at any moment.

And that moment comes very quickly

into Frank's investigation.

Did you see that?

A head...

appears to pop up over the wall.

It just looked like dark figments of things

just kind of peeking over.

And then, kind of, going back under again.

I don't even know what the hell it is that I just seen.

And that was creepy, 'cause at that point I was

thinking there was probably children or kids, kind of,

playing and they're peeking over who's outside.

But nope, nothing. Absolutely nothing.

But something was moving across here

and it looked like a head.

I'm not surprised that the energies are peeking at him.

A lot of times,

when you're going to a location that has activity,

the energies are going to notice you before you notice them.

Whenever investigators come to a location,

they're bringing all their gear,

they're bringing their own energy,

and that is more noticeable, I think, to Spirit

than Spirit is noticeable to us.

And sure enough, as Frank makes his way

into the cemetery...

If there's anybody here with me that would like to talk,

feel free to tell me your name.

...it seems the word of his arrival

has spread amongst the dead.

I got something staring at me from a room.

Oh, my God.

Holy [bleep].

Watch again,

as Frank's thermal imaging app picks up what appears to be

another head peeking out at him

from the entrance to a mausoleum.

There is someone legitimately in this room

right in front of me right now.

Around that time is when I started thinking

there's something else here.

And then I felt like I wasn't alone spiritually.

Holy [bleep], I don't even see anybody.

Frank is clearly freaked out.

But he musters up the courage to head toward the mausoleum...

to see what exactly that head belongs to.

There's nobody in here.

When Frank goes into the mausoleum,

and he shows you that there's no exit in there,

there's no place a real person could have just disappeared to,

then it really compels me to believe

that what he captured could be anomalous.

Why was it captured only in infrared?

And yet when he goes in there, there's nothing visible?

That is terrifying.

The face of that I seen was coming directly

out of this door.

And it was staring right at me it looked like.

Anytime you can bring light to the dark,

you bring a thermal cam to a cemetery,

you're liable to catch anything.

And I thought that this was super cool that he's able

to see what you always suspect,

that when you're in a resting community,

people are watching you.

But despite being acutely aware

that he's being watched by the dead,

Frank soldiers on...

This is this other creepy mausoleum here.

...and enters another, much larger mausoleum...

What the hell was that?

...where some CDs hanging from the ceiling

are not only inexplicably swaying back and forth,

but they're also, as Frank moves closer...

What the [bleep].

...being pulled up by an unseen force.

Something was clearly picking up the CD and lifting it,

and almost trying to put it over what it was hanging on.

To me, we're seeing intelligence here.

We're seeing that something is doing things specifically

to interact with him for whatever reason.

Seconds later, that something appears to manifest.

Watch closely.

It's a white, wispy entity

heading directly toward Frank.

It looked like an apparition that just kind of, like,

floated right past me.

This is potentially the culprit that's causing all

this action that's going on,

this little wisp of something that looks ethereal,

something that looks more spiritual than anything else.

If it is a spirit,

maybe it's just as curious about Frank as he is about it.

I see 'em as people that either don't know that they're dead,

they might think they're alive, you know what I mean?

And they're just kind of passing through.

And for all they know, I might be the ghost

for them in their world.

Mind-blowing.

But whatever the case,

Frank walks away with some solid evidence

and a lesson learned for any future investigations.

If you're alone and by yourself long enough

and you're looking for something,

eventually something's gonna come out

and let you know it's there.

They'll let you know they're there all right .

Oh, my God. Holy [bleep].

Coming up, a shadow figure...

creeps through a kitchen in Alaska.

2 Of all the paranormal entities out there,

perhaps the most confounding and often terrifying

are shadow figures...

...and it's no wonder.

As the very name suggests,

they are mysterious, vague shapes,

usually lurking in the background,

creeping around corners.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

And literally snuffing out light

in their immediate vicinity.

But just because we don't fully understand them

doesn't mean they're necessarily out to do us harm.

Just ask one woman in Alaska

who unknowingly captured one on camera,

just feet away from her and her niece...

and lives to tell the tale.

September 28, 2023, Aniak, Alaska.

Angela Morrow is taking a video of her niece

as she eats pancakes,

savoring the cute moment.

But when she watches the video back later,

Angela notices something strange in the background.

Do you want pizza rolls?

Did you see it?

Watch again, as a dark shadow

slowly passes behind Angela's niece.

A shadow that's, in fact, so dark

it blocks out the light...

from the bulb over the sink.

And Angela... is baffled.

My name is Angela and this is my video.

I saw a shadow moving across

in the background and, like, across the light.

And at the end, you could kind of see,

like, a head shape.

I think it was kind of creepy.

Like, I don't think no vehicle or a cloud or something

could block out light like that.

So if not a cloud or passing vehicle,

then what exactly is it?

If it were, in fact, a cloud or something else

blocking the sunlight through the window,

then that sunlight should go dark

on the kitchen table as well and on the child herself.

That doesn't happen.

That shadow seems to be in the room

with them between the child and that wall.

What I also found interesting is if we can rule out then that

this isn't a person, because to me, that shadow across the wall

doesn't move the way a living person would move.

And we can rule out car lights or car shadows, because again,

it doesn't follow the same trajectory of that.

Then who or what is causing that shadow?

And what kind of shadow can overwhelm a light source?

When you freeze that frame,

the light bulb has all but disappeared,

but yet the shadow is also transparent enough

that you see through it and you see all

the objects that-- that are still by the sink.

There is something there.

There is something that is taking up that space.

That is absorbing the light,

and this is one of those indications that you're dealing

with a shadow person or some sort of spirit that is actually

entering into this plane of existence.

But, if it is a shadow person, or a spirit, why here?

Why now?

Angela has a theory,

and it has to do with a long history of activity

that's been happening in this house.

A house that's been in her family...

for quite some time.

I believe it was my late grandmother

who was checking up on us.

There would be suitcases stacked up in the hallway.

Then they would just randomly fall down.

And we had friends and relatives who would stay

the night at the house and they'd hear, like,

someone old walking down the hallway, slippers dragging.

My nephew, who was two at the time, he's now 18,

he was playing peek-a-boo by himself

with somebody in the kitchen.

I do feel like this definitely could be the spirit of maybe

one of their family members.

I like to think that the spirits of our loved ones

like to kind of hang around, you know, and kind of just watch

and make sure everything is just copacetic

when they get up out of here.

Whoever it was,

and whatever the reason for the visit,

Angela is taking it all in stride

for one very good reason.

I'm a big fan of shows like this.

I grew up watching them with my parents.

And I honestly wasn't freaked out or scared at all.

I was just kind of excited a little bit,

'cause I never experienced anything like that.

Coming up, did a home security camera...

...capture a pixie in Michigan?

2 It's believed that elemental beings

come in all shapes and sizes.

Often intentionally blending in with the environment

to go undetected.

Take, for instance, a pixie...

a tiny, elf-like spirit with wings

that's said to live in mossy glens, underground,

or perhaps even your own backyard,

and could easily pass for nothing more

than a common insect.

That is, unless you happen to get a closer look.

Like one woman in Michigan did

when her home security camera...

captured this--

September 18th, 2025, New Lothrop, Michigan.

Kayla Ebenhoeh is working in her home office...

...when she gets an alert that her backyard security camera

has detected a person.

But when Kayla gets up to take a look outside,

no one is there.

So she pulls up the footage to find out what set it off.

Watch very closely.

Probably a bug, right?

Wrong.

Watch again in slow motion.

It's a small, human-like figure

with dangling legs and wings.

And Kayla can't believe her eyes.

My name is Kayla Ebenhoeh and this is my video.

I started to play and it kind of flew by quick,

and I was like, "Wow, that's too big to be a bug."

And I watched it again, and I was like,

"That definitely does not look like a bird."

And so, I played it in slow motion, and I'm like,

"Holy cow, that definitely looks to be like a pixie or a fairy."

But I'm like, "Am I just seeing things or whatever?"

And so, I downloaded the video to my phone,

and I took screenshots of it.

And I noticed the head, the torso, the hair,

the arms, the wings.

Kayla posts her video online

to see what others think about it

and gets mixed reactions.

Some people have, you know, said online,

"Oh, that looks like a wasp."

And I was like, "Well, um, I don't know where you live,

"but I live in the middle of nowhere,

and I've never seen a wasp look like that before."

I have Googled, too, like, different kind of wasps

or whatever, and, like, that is definitely not, no wasp.

So then, if not a wasp or any flying insect,

what exactly did Kayla capture on her security camera?

What?

What-- what is this thing, first of all?

OK.

It's clearly not an insect, it's not a bird.

It's not anything explainable, especially when you pause

at that right moment and you realize it literally looks

human-ish in a miniature form with wings.

You can clearly see that it has a long torso,

what appear to be arms and legs and wings,

and even hair.

Man, you can even see a face there.

Like, the more you look at it, and granted,

it's a blurry image,

the more you see a tiny, little winged human.

Furthermore, the intelligence in the camera was identifying

it as a person is captured on the alarm system.

They're getting the notification that a person is present.

And Kayla's cameras continue to pick it up.

It actually pinged on different cameras around the house,

and I pulled it up, and I seen the fairy again,

and we're still seeing it.

So, for whatever reason, it just doesn't wanna move on.

But if this is, in fact, a pixie,

why such an interest in Kayla's house?

The pixie, as an idea, comes to us mostly from the UK.

That's the region where we get a lot of stories about pixies.

And what we know of them is that they're, sort of, playful,

mischievous type creatures.

We might see pixies doing things like causing someone

to trip or causing someone's equipment to malfunction.

And it would be done in a largely playful,

sort of, fun way.

In some countries, like Iceland, a good majority

of the people do believe in fairies and elves.

And some people are actually disturbed when they have

reports of repeat visitations by these elementals.

Now, why would that be disturbing?

It could be kind of a harbinger

of bad things to come.

Some people think it might be a good sign,

but if I had a fairy that kept coming back to my house,

I'd want to know what it wanted.

Kayla is on the same page

and has taken some precautionary measures

just in case.

I read online that if you put, like, a glass of milk outside,

it's like your peace offering.

So, I literally set, like, a glass of milk in my backyard,

just kind of, like, "Hey, you're welcome here."

And so far, it seems to be working.

I haven't noticed any mischievous activity, if you will.

I'm hoping that setting out my glass of milk is like,

Hey, like, we're OK here.

You know, just don't start to go crazy

with any of our stuff.

And unless it starts wreaking havoc,

she sees the visitations

as a positive thing.

I've always believed in paranormal things,

so it was pretty cool catching it on camera

to actually show people, like,

"Hey, like, this is a real thing,

you know," 'cause a lot of people are like,

"Oh, I'll believe it when I see it."

And then I'm like, "Here, look at it."

You know, I have it front row and center on my camera.

Coming up, a family in Myrtle Beach...

...spots multiple UFOs from their hotel balcony.

2 Many believe that when aliens visit the Earth,

it's not just to see the sights,

but also...

to communicate with its inhabitants,

either through psychic bonds,

flashing lights,

or in some cases...

straight-up abduction.

And while this may seem terrifying to some,

welcoming this contact may ultimately...

be our only path to survival.

Case in point,

a family in South Carolina who was visited by one

potential set of extraterrestrial beings,

delivering what could be...

an urgent message.

September 16, 2025,

North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Melissa Thomas is on vacation with her family.

Over the last couple of nights,

they've been seeing odd flashing lights in the sky

that disappeared as quickly as they came.

So tonight,

they're camping out on their hotel balcony,

phones at the ready.

And sure enough...

Whoa.

...a string of glowing orange orbs

flashes into view,

followed by more...

and more...

and more.

Each appearance leaving Melissa and her family stunned.

My name is Melissa, and this is my video.

At first, I thought maybe it was a plane

or something simple, but the longer we watched,

the stranger it felt.

It was exciting, but also a little eerie,

because none of us could figure out what it was.

You could just feel that everyone was thinking at

the same time, like, "What are we looking at?"

First of all, just kind of the array of lights in the sky,

fluctuating colors, no sound,

uh, silent in the sense that we're not hearing any motor.

The way that it kind of lingers for so long,

clearly we're seeing something extraordinary.

One compelling thing about this video is actually

the quality of the light that we're seeing.

This looks like a lit object, like something is on fire.

But yet in another video,

they're lined up in a straight line again,

and they're turning on and off and actually pulsing.

And then it switches off,

like somebody has very precise control of a switch.

I don't think we can just easily categorize this and say,

well, it's most likely a military flare,

or it's a bunch ships lined up out there in the ocean.

This is very puzzling.

Also puzzling is exactly how many craft

are out there.

These lights appear in one spot

and disappear and appear in another location.

It looks as if we're dealing with at least,

uh, you know, three to four of these objects

and then that count seems to increase.

But there is a moment where you see what looks like

a string of lights.

Now, this could be one larger craft that we're looking at,

or we could be dealing with smaller probes that are

connected to maybe a larger craft.

But whether multiple craft, or just one large one...

why here?

Why now?

This 60-mile stretch along the coast

is called the Grand Strand, and it is a UFO hotspot.

And there are reports throughout Myrtle Beach,

going back decades, of these strange orange-red lights

over the ocean, many times reported as pulsing.

And right now, someone is filming something so incredibly

similar in the same place.

Is that communication?

Is that a follow-up message that's like,

"He, you guys didn't do what we asked."

Maybe...

but if so, what exactly are they asking?

I feel like we're constantly being monitored

by other sentient beings,

whether they're extraterrestrial or interdimensional.

They're very concerned with the things that we've developed

to cause significant harm to others and this planet.

And the reason why we start seeing these lights

is to be observed and send a message.

And usually that message is to raise your vibration beyond

hostility to each other so that we don't harm ourselves,

each other, or the planet.

If that's the case,

let's hope it works.

Though according to Melissa, on this night,

she and her family seem to be the only ones listening.

We had talked to a couple of people at the hotel

and they and they did not notice those lights.

Regardless, given the chance,

they'll be ready for another call in the future.

Now, any time I'm outside at night,

I can't help but scan the sky to see if I see those again.

Coming up, a mysterious entity...

There it is.

...hovers next to a baby's crib in Kentucky.

You see how bright it gets?

2 While certainly thrilling,

having a baby and bringing them home

can also be extremely stressful for parents

who want nothing more than to protect

their bundle of joy from harm.

But it's not practical for any parent

to be with their child 24-7,

which is why many people use baby monitors

to keep a watchful eye during those times apart,

offering at least some peace of mind.

Unless, of course, that baby monitor...

catches something else peeking in on baby.

Like it did for one couple in Kentucky.

September 2025, in McKee, Kentucky.

Michael Bryant and his wife are watching TV one night

when, on the baby monitor next to him,

Michael sees something whiz by

from the corner of his eye.

So he takes a closer look

and starts filming the monitor with his phone.

There it is.

You see how bright it gets?

It's a large orb creeping toward his daughter's crib

that almost immediately sinks back out of frame.

My name is Michael and this is my video.

I'm probably one of the biggest skeptics out there,

so my first thing was, "OK, what was that?

This is nothing spiritual."

I thought it was maybe a fly or something, like,

that going across the screen.

But getting into it, it started hesitating

going in between the frame.

It would go in and out like it didn't want to be seen.

Now it's lower, look.

And when Michael spots it again in the middle of the room

and pans the camera to the right,

the orb remains in one position

independent of the camera's movement.

Which I thought that was really odd.

Odd enough to send both Michael and his wife

into the baby's room.

And when we went in, there was nothing there.

Uh, even the next morning, we locked the lens down

and looked around to see what-- if anything was.

There was nothing there as well.

So then, what exactly is happening here?

When things travel through night vision,

sometimes that infrared light will hit it

and kind of cause a reflection.

For instance, dust or insects will kind of appear to be

orb-like, but you can decipher those rather quickly.

That's not what we're seeing here.

Whatever is around this crib in this room

is almost independent.

It's not relying on reflection

of the light source from the infrared.

It almost seems to be lighting up on its own,

as if it has its own energy source,

which really kind of falls in line

with spirit orb or spirit light.

When it pans away, it moves off-frame.

If it was actually an artifact of the camera,

it should remain no matter where you point the camera.

So that tells me that it's probably actually

an object or some energy, whatever it is, in the scene.

In the scene, and even casting a shadow.

It did seem as if this orb was creating its own shadow.

And that tells you that this is not some sort of illusion,

but that this orb, this ball of light, is physical in nature,

that it's generating a shadow in the 2D.

But what could it be?

And why is it hanging out in that particular spot?

The history of the room might give us a clue.

There's one death in the room.

Where the orb was on the ground

is exactly where the person passed away at.

She was an aunt, so she was a really sweet woman.

You see how bright it gets?

I believe that these passed-on members of the family

have come back to kind of help guide the new member,

which is this baby,

to kind of take the right paths down their life.

And that's how I believe ancestral energies

become spirit guides.

And you'll start seeing activity circle around, like,

newborns and babies because sometimes

they need spiritual support.

Michael, no longer the skeptic of the family,

hopes this is the case.

We're more open to everything around us now,

especially in the household.

We don't think it's anything sinister because, uh,

we have two other children there, too.

And nothing was in their rooms or anything.

Nothing, you know, was harming the children at all.

Um, so we think it could be a loved one,

just somebody just watching over.

What should you do in the event

you witness something paranormal?

Here are some tips to get it all on camera.

There's another set.

Check your footage, and then check it again.

Trust that what you're seeing...

There it is.

...really is otherworldly.

You see how bright it gets?

Don't stop recording...

I got something staring at me from the room.

...even if you're scared.

Oh, my God.

And if you do catch something,

email us at submitparanormal@gmail.com.

Your footage could be seen right here

on "Paranormal Caught on Camera."
