Next on "Paranormal Caught on Camera."

Investigators at a bar in Chicago...

...are confronted with an aggressive ghost.

I just got touched! Holy crap!

It scared the heck out of him,

but it turned into quick excitement because we knew

we were getting evidence.

A cemetery in Mexico...

...where the dead aren't resting in peace.

Kudos to him for not dipping out of the cemetery,

right then and there.

A baby monitor in Oregon

captures a specter

passing by.

I was just shocked.

It's a little unsettling when it's your baby's room.

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

to believe.

If you live in an older house...

creepy, unexplained noises...

are to be expected.

But when those creepy noises...

take on a certain tone or timber...

...and seem to manifest

into the occasional, odd shadow...

...it might be time

to take a much closer look.

Just ask a woman in Oregon

who's been experiencing far more

than just a few bumps in the night.

And it seems she's finally captured

what's behind it.

July 28, 2022.

Northwest Oregon.

A woman who wishes to not use her name is in the living room

with her family

when the motion-activated baby camera

in her son's bedroom upstairs...

detects a person

So she looks at the footage

and sees this.

It's a dark, human-shaped shadow

walking between the crib and the camera.

The only problem is

everyone, including her son and their pets,

is downstairs.

I'm from Northwest Oregon, and this is my video.

I mean, this room was 100% empty,

and the door was shut.

The mom part of me was like, "That's my son's room."

Like, what is going on?

You know, it's a little unsettling

when it's your baby's room.

Unsettling, because that baby camera

had never alerted them to something like this before.

I had the settings not too sensitive, actually,

because I didn't want every little noise he made

or movement he made to set it off.

Like, I wanna know if he's screaming,

so I can go get him.

The only time we'd been notified that there was

a person in the room is when there was a person in the room.

So that's why it was so shocking

when I looked at the video.

And when she goes upstairs to check it out,

there's no one.

So what did her baby camera capture?

This is actually a really good capture.

You can see how the shadow doesn't create a shadow itself.

In other words, it looks like this amorphous blob that comes

across the frame, but in the background,

it's not casting a shadow, which you'd expect if it was

a human figure or some sort of other object

that's occluding the light.

Yet it does occlude the light, you can see on the shiny part

of the wall, the light as it passes in front of it kind of

disappears, and you see pixel changes.

So the camera's trying to adjust

for that change in the lighting.

Whatever this is, it was substantial enough to trigger

the motion sensor on the camera.

So something was in that room.

And it turns out that something could very likely be

who or what,

the woman suspects has been lurking around their house.

You can see our staircase from our living room,

and we frequently see something that just kind of goes up

and down the stairs.

And you see it in your peripheral,

but we have seen that...

countless times.

We've also heard voices.

And around this time, my son was three.

And just as he was able to start putting sentences together,

he would tell me,

"Guy, there's a guy, there's a guy,

there's a guy in the shower."

"There's a guy hanging."

Like, he was talking about this guy that he would see

all the time.

And we're like, "OK."

I mean, this house is 115 years old.

So, there's a lot of history here.

Everywhere has history.

And when we're talking about a home that has more than

100 years of it, obviously there have been people that have

lived there and maybe even died there.

And if they took great pride in this space, loved it a lot,

or were not ready to leave it for whatever reason,

if they continue to haunt the home, then you have to find

a way forward with them because they were there before you.

I think it's important when you're coexisting with spirits

to save a space for them, you know?

Allow them to exist. Don't fear them.

'Cause a lot of the time, when you create a fearful space

within the home, the entities that live within

the home are charged by whatever energy is there.

Luckily, the woman and her family seem to be

living in harmony with whatever spirits are also residing here.

The strange thing is that

I don't wanna leave.

I don't feel uncomfortable or threatened.

Nobody here is scared.

We know that we have roommates, basically.

Coming up, what is snooping around...

Hay alguien?

...in this cemetery in Mexico?

For most people, the thought of seeing a ghost is so terrifying

that they'll do whatever they can

to avoid it,

including...

simply not believing that they exist.

Unfortunately, not everyone has that luxury

because there are those who are so sensitive to the dead

that they encounter them

on the regular,

forcing them to either live their lives

in a constant state of fear

or accept it as just the way things are.

Such is the case for one man in Mexico,

who's not only come to terms with his affliction,

but has chosen...

¿Hola?

...to embrace it.

May 2022, Los Mochis, Mexico.

It's around 1:00 AM

Alonso Gastelum, who has seen supernatural beings

since he was a child,

is at a local cemetery that he's been told

is extremely haunted.

And as soon as Alonso begins live streaming his experience,

he can feel the presences

around him.

My name is Alonso Gastelum, and these are my videos.

When I enter a cemetery, I can feel chills, the vibe.

It's as if something is about to happen, and it feels like

you are being observed.

And as he comes up to a wall,

that feeling suddenly turns to fact.

Watch closely.

Buenas noches.

Watch again,

as some kind of head

seems to peek around or through the wall,

which according to Alonso,

isn't possible for a human being to do.

I noticed a head peeking out,

and it has no doors or windows.

It's a fence.

My heart almost stopped, but I kept on recording.

We call these apparitions "peek around ghosts" because

it seems like that's what they're doing.

They're always hiding behind something, but just peeking

enough around for us to see them and for them

to survey the scene.

This doesn't just seem like an image or apparition

that is imprinted on this particular place.

This looks like something with awareness, something

that's like, "Hey, if you're gonna look at me,

I'm gonna look at you."

Thrilled with what he's captured,

Alonso returns to the same cemetery...

eight months later.

This time, he enters a room filled with dolls

where the remains of a young girl are buried.

And as he tries reaching out to her...

Watch again as one of the dolls

moves on its own.

When I saw the doll moving, I was surprised

because I was like, "A moving doll?"

That's-- that's a lot.

I think that when you have a lot of spiritual activity

in a graveyard and you have dolls as offerings,

those spirits can gravitate towards those dolls

and they will possess those dolls.

Uy.

Two months later,

when Alonso returns to scratch his paranormal itch,

yet again...

...a statue of an angel turns 90 degrees

to face him.

When I went close to it, it turned towards me

and I walked away from it.

I was scared and I even left.

You can hear the visceral sound of it kind of crunching

on the stone as it turns,

giving you an idea of the weight of this statue.

I mean, it's actually really,

really unsettling to watch this.

And although Alonso is unsettled by all

the activity he captured,

he remains hooked...

Uy, uy, uy.

...and plans on coming back

to interact with even more of the spirits...

No mames.

...that haunt the cemetery.

My experience in that pantheon was a unique experience

because many things happened.

I've been to some other places

and they were haunted like that one,

but the one in Los Mochis is the most haunted one.

Coming up, investigators in a Chicago bar...

...are contacted by a spirit.

I just got touched. Holy crap!

2 There's a bar in Chicago

that's been around since the late 1800s.

And about that time, they had a regular patron,

nicknamed Droopy,

who the owners would reportedly let sleep in the basement

after a night of imbibing.

Sadly, Droopy was found dead there one morning.

And in the years since, both customers and employees

have reported hearing unexplained sounds,

finding items in odd places,

and spotting apparitions.

When a paranormal investigation team was asked to see

what they could find,

it apparently didn't take long for Droopy...

Jeez. Ooh.

to make an appearance.

May 1st, 2016. Chicago, Illinois.

Paranormal investigators Patrick, Emily, and Randy

have been contacted by the owners of a bar

who think their establishment might be haunted.

Tonight, the team has the bar to themselves after hours

and they begin their investigation in the basement

where a regular named Droopy

was said to have died about a century ago.

I'm gonna film you a little bit while you're doing an EVP.

And just moments after Patrick begins his EVP session...

Jeez! Ooh.

Something touched me.

I got touched.

...Randy literally feels a presence.

I just got touched. Holy crap, right on my neck!

The team is freaked out.

Then all of a sudden just

swing right on the back of my neck.

But also hopeful that whatever touched Randy

is willing to communicate further.

So they set up a laser light grid--

a ghost hunting tool that projects a grid of dots

in an area

to detect shadow figures or any physical anomalies

passing by.

Can you walk in front of the green lights or make one of

them move or change colors?

My name is Emily, and this is my video.

We were immediately excited and taken back

at the same time.

Wanted to immediately make sure it wasn't one of us

bumping the-- the grid.

And when it was confirmed that it wasn't, we did deduce that

it had to have been, you know, a spirit hand.

It had to be physically moved to spin the way that it spun.

We see the laser grid actually twist suddenly.

So not only are we seeing people getting touched,

but now equipment's getting touched.

So whatever's there has the capacity to touch

or interact with the physical environment around them.

Can you walk in front of the lights?

Droopy, or whatever shifted the light grid,

doesn't show themselves.

And after several hours at the bar,

the team calls it a night.

But three days later, when Randy is combing through

footage from the infrared camera in the bar's basement,

something catches his eye.

Watch this area

very closely.

Watch again. Zoomed in and in slow motion

as a figure emerges to the left of the group

before disappearing.

We really couldn't believe our eyes.

You can see a white figure come down the stairs,

pause as if he's surprised that someone's in his space,

fully turn around.

We do see what we believe are tails on the coat.

This team captured that holy-grail moment that

all investigators at one point or another

wish to have accomplished.

Something rounds the corner,

almost turns around, and then exits exactly

where it came from.

This was not a member of their team.

You can clearly see they didn't hear anything, nothing.

They're just standing there candidly talking while this is

happening right behind them.

So, could that be the apparition of the customer

Droopy, who was found dead in the basement

so many years ago?

I do believe that the ghost that we were able

to catch on film was Droopy.

We had been calling out for him all night.

The patrons and the employees were very affectionate towards

him, and so I believe Droopy felt comfortable enough

to show himself to us.

A customer who loved this bar over 100 years ago, so much so

that they would spend the night there and still wants to do it

now, that's like the ultimate five-star review

of your establishment.

It was also a relief for the bar owners,

who asked the team to come investigate.

It was the first time they were able to see

evidence on film.

Everything up until then had been personal experiences

and passed on stories, so they felt better that

they had some evidence to back

up that they had been feeling and seeing.

And even now, a decade since that investigation,

Emily still realizes how special it was.

Catching a full-body apparition on film

is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I don't think

many people have and we're very proud to have that on film.

Coming up, a mysterious entity

lays claim to a family's dogs in Appalachia.

2 The Appalachian Mountains

formed approximately 480 million years ago,

are widely known as one of

the most haunted regions in North America,

believed to be teeming with cryptids and spirits

that roam the dense forests.

So much so,

there's even a set of unwritten rules for those living

in the area, including

avoid the woods at night...

...don't whistle...

...and if you hear your name called...

...ignore it.

Just ask one family who's called Appalachia home

for decades...

What'd you hear?

On the back porch?

...and lives with the fear

that comes along with it.

January 15th, 2026. Washington County, Virginia.

Falisha Nettles is at home with her son, who's distraught

because he just heard his sister calling for help

from outside their back door.

What'd you hear?

On the back porch?

No...

OK, hold on.

The only problem, Falisha and her son

are home alone.

So Falisha calls her husband.

So there's two different voices on the back porch.

I'm not opening the door.

My name is Falisha, and this is my video.

He was bawling, crying, freaked out.

So I was trying to calm him down,

but I was really, really scared because I knew whatever it was,

I was gonna have to confront whatever was behind that door.

But when Falisha looks outside...

There-- there's no--

Which leaves Falisha, her son, and their dogs...

totally freaked out.

Every single animal in the house was just frozen.

Like, they don't do that.

They bark at people, and I knew right then looking at the dogs

that it wasn't a human outside.

That's when I knew that was something else.

And it absolutely terrified me.

Like my heart felt like it was in my throat.

Our animal companions are one of the best barometers

we have for things happening around us that we might not

be able to perceive.

And so when our pets, especially collectively,

begin reacting to something that we can't perceive,

that is something to be paying attention to.

But what exactly is it?

And why does it apparently sound like

Falisha's daughter and husband?

Mimicking is something that is usually darker,

something diabolical.

The whole point is, something is trying to trick

you into believing that a friend, parent, or sibling is

calling out to you to lead you somewhere.

In this case, perhaps to lead this young child outside.

And moments later,

it tries again. Listen closely.

The dogs are mine.

Did you hear it?

Listen again.

As a voice whispers,

"The dogs are mine."

Which Falisha isn't even aware of until she watches

the footage later.

But I did not hear that until I put the earphones on

and I was like, I--

"Maybe there's a little bit more in this house that

I'm just not hearing or we're not seeing."

Look at the dogs.

Hearing the EVP, and then you kinda see

the dogs kind of reacting to something.

Don't, don't, don't.

It's almost like maybe these spirits are not here

to manipulate the humans in the house,

maybe they're here to manipulate the animals.

Could be.

But what type of spirit would do that?

Perhaps where Falisha's family lives

can give us a clue.

This region of the world, the Appalachian Mountains,

is really one of the paranormal hotbeds of North America.

The idea of an Appalachian mimic is a common form of

cryptid in this area.

I think it's really fascinating that what this child purports

to hear is his own father and his own sister's voice

calling out to him.

- Sissy's voice? - Yes.

Uh, there's no words. The fear...

that goes through your body

because there's nobody there.

Basically, the way that generations of Appalachian folk

have handled this type of supernatural phenomena has been

traditionally to ignore it and to follow the rules.

You close your windows at night.

You close the curtains at night.

You don't open your doors to what sounds like

family members at night.

And if you did that, then you wouldn't get accosted

as much by these elemental forces.

But while Falisha has been trying to do just that,

it seems the spirits of Appalachia

aren't letting up.

I've always been told, "Ignore it, it'll go away,

ignore it, it'll go away."

I've been trying to ignore it for 20 years.

And it ain't helping anything.

And I know everybody don't believe in this kind of stuff,

but if you've never lived it, you won't understand.

Look at the dogs.

Coming up, a disc-shaped UFO

stuns co-workers in Wisconsin.

2 Considering how many earthly objects can be up in the sky

at any given time, it's remarkable how few

each of us actually witness on a daily basis,

due to their speed,

altitude,

visibility,

and the fact that most of us

don't really look up all that often.

Now, imagine if on top of all that, those objects

were trying to evade detection.

This is what makes capturing a UFO on camera

so remarkable,

because as one man in Wisconsin can tell you,

it pretty much

all comes down to luck.

November 4th, 2025, Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

Alex Ramage is outside with some coworkers taking a break

when he tests out the zoom on his phone by filming a large

jet flying above them.

But as he watches the recording back,

he realizes

the jet wasn't the only thing that was flying by.

Watch in slow motion.

As a flat, disc-shaped object

glides beneath the plane,

leaving Alex and his coworkers

stunned.

My name is Alex Ramage, and this is my video.

As we were videotaping, like, you couldn't really

see it, but as we played it back,

we kind of realized that it resembled a UFO.

Kinda had this oval, flat-ish looking disc shape,

not like a plane at all.

And just as more as I watched it, it was more or less trying

to blend in with its surroundings, like trying

to take the color of the sky to not be seen as much.

So what exactly did Alex capture that day?

This footage is really fascinating because

it's so clearly anomalous.

Watching it zoomed in and stilled for a moment,

the shadows suggest that, yeah, this is saucer-shaped.

This is a disc-shaped object, as we sort of traditionally

think of a UFO looking like.

Whatever the object is, it's definitely not

an anomaly on the camera's lens because it moves.

It moves across the horizon, through the sky.

So we know that it's not on the camera itself.

One other interesting note is that the jet has

a distinct contrail.

That's that gas, that water vapors coming from the exhaust.

They condense and turn into kind of that smoke we see.

Well, the object in question does not have a contrail.

If this was a jet, why is it not producing one?

As much as you try to disprove this as being something

anomalous or UAP, you really can't.

This is a metallic dish-shaped object moving on its own force

on a course that it has set on its own.

And if they didn't happen to point up at the sky at that

jet, we would never be seeing this footage.

But perhaps, given the location,

catching a glimpse of something like this

was only a matter of time.

There are UFOs reported everywhere in the country,

but this specific area, uh,

the upper Midwest is really a hotbed for activity.

Reports go back to, at least, the early 1950s,

such as with the Kinross incident, where a fighter jet

and its two-man crew

was scrambled to intercept a strange object that was

detected on scanners.

Sadly, that jet, its crew, and the object

simply disappeared.

And that case remains a mystery.

For now, Alex's capture also remains a mystery.

But the experience solidifies his belief that we

are not alone.

A hundred percent I definitely believe that we're not

the only species out here, for sure.

I've always believed in this stuff.

But to see something like that kind of like firsthand is kind

of, like, shocking in a way.

And he's found that by sharing his footage,

others feel the same.

You know, ever since this has happened,

I've been keeping in touch and following, like, the videos.

Other people have reposted and everything, just seeing

what other people say, you know, and there's a lot of

believers out there, you know, and hopefully

this video, you know, makes more people believers.

Coming up, a hunter's trail cam

reveals a mysterious creature.

2 Trail cameras are small,

usually camouflage-colored recording devices

placed around properties or deep in the woods

for a variety of reasons,

like perimeter security,

keeping an eye on local wildlife,

or simply for enjoying a candid view of what happens in nature

when mankind is nowhere in sight.

But they are mostly used by hunters to monitor

the comings and goings

of game.

And while the photographs they capture

can help these sportsmen increase their chances

of success,

if you ask one man in Michigan,

they can also potentially protect a hunter

from becoming

a cryptid's prey.

November 14th, 2025, in Golden Township, Michigan,

Todd Gomah is on a hunting trip with some buddies

when he gets an alert from his trail camera

at the nearby swamp.

Assuming it's a deer, he opens the app.

And while at first glance,

it appears to show no animals,

upon further inspection,

do you see it?

It's what appears to be a face and torso among the reeds.

Todd is wigged out.

My name is Todd, and this is my photo.

When I originally saw it, the hairs on my arms

and the back of my neck kinda came up.

This is not an animal that is normal that I would see anytime

on this property.

The grass out there is about chest-deep high.

So whatever this was, it was approximately three foot high.

And it just had black holes in its eyes.

And it was just staring out towards my camera.

And that alone just kind of terrified me.

We see a dark that seems to be crouching or

sitting in the tall grass off to the right.

It certainly doesn't look like a deer or a bear for that

matter, but it is about the size of what a bear might

look like and does seem to have facial features,

but not of a bear, more of a gorilla.

Being a lifelong resident of Michigan,

when looking at the size, the shape,

even the recessed eyes

and the facial structure that we see, we can obviously

eliminate a fox. It's not going to be a coyote.

It's not really going to be any mammal at all unless there was

an escape from a zoo and perhaps a gorilla

got loose. This should not be there.

But it is there.

And as there are no reported escapes from any nearby zoos

and no gorillas native to this particular part of the world,

then what exactly

are we looking at?

This is a Bigfoot. This is a Sasquatch.

Michigan is actually a huge hotspot

for Sasquatch sightings.

And when I look at this photo,

this fits the description to a T.

In a lot of Bigfoot reports, you'll find that there's

usually a swamp close by or near

a lot of these encounters.

And that's why creatures like Bigfoot and other type of

cryptids are in these certain areas because it's very hard

for us to go into.

And some of these locations we have no desire

to enter and explore.

But what about the height? It could be crouching.

But if not, then it's only

standing at about three feet tall.

If this is something like a Bigfoot,

maybe it's a baby, a child,

a littlefoot, as I would like to call 'em.

Possibly, yes.

Or perhaps a different, similar creature.

There's a lot of Native American lore about

the Pukwudgie or a little person.

We hear many curious stories of these smaller type Bigfoot

creatures out in the woods observing hunters or fishermen

or people that are out hiking.

And this is like this classic, almost animalistic

but human-like face peering through the grass.

There is this creepy poetry to a trail cam used by hunters

capturing something that then freaks out those sportsmen.

Makes you kind of wonder if the hunters

have become the hunted?

The possibility isn't lost on Todd,

who, for his part, agrees that it may be a juvenile Bigfoot.

But whatever it is,

it hasn't been seen since,

which is just fine

with Todd.

It scares me to this day to walk through that area,

even just to change the batteries in my camera.

I think about it all the time

now because it does creep me out.

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.

Trust that what you're seeing...

¿Me puede dar su nombre?

...really is otherworldly.

Ay, Dios. Ay, Dios.

Don't stop recording...

There's nobody out there, Michael.

...even if you're scared.

There's nobody out there.

And if you do catch something,

email us at submitparanormal@gmail.com.

Your footage could be seen right here on
