Paranormal Caught on Camera (2019–…): Season 2, Episode 2 - Disappearing Shadow Figures, Strange Lights and More - full transcript
Next on
"paranormal caught on camera,"
a kitchen apparition
spooks a san diego family...
All I'm going to say
about this is, "ah! Horrifying!"
...Strange lights seen
high up in the california sky...
They're flickering,
moving around for over an hour.
It was weird.
...A mythic creature
spotted in wales...
That's a unicorn right there.
It looks exactly like you
would expect a unicorn to look.
...A haunted basket
mystifies in florida...
Okay, here we go.
We are about
to open this basket.
As I was opening that thing,
my heart was racing
because I didn't know what was
going to be inside of it.
...A spirit
makes its presence known
in a british schoolhouse...
That's the door.
...And even more
paranormal footage
you have to see to believe.
Oh!
Antiques stores
are known to carry many items
that are appreciated
for their special value
due to their age or handicraft.
But an older wicker basket
found in texas,
which was said to be haunted,
seemed to be getting attention
for something more sinister.
The basket, which had been
sealed with wax,
had been bought
and returned twice,
with each owner saying
they experienced misfortune
while in possession of it.
So when paranormal enthusiasts
patty adams and her daughter,
heather, got their hands on it,
they were intrigued
by the reports
and curious about
what might be inside.
- Ah! Oh, my...
- Whoa. What the...
In August 2018, the basket was
given to patty by a friend
who had come across it
in an antique shop
while on vacation in texas.
The shop's owner
had told the friend
about the basket's
disturbing history,
and when the friend
brought it back for patty,
she relayed the information.
The basket's first owner
ended up in the hospital,
and its second owner
started having scary problems
with their car.
Unsure what could be causing
all these issues,
patty decided to conduct an
investigation on her back porch
in spring hill, florida.
We would like to communicate
with whoever is attached
to this box.
My name is patty.
I was a little bit nervous
with the basket at first
because, you know,
the unknown and the stories
that she told me about it.
There's wax melted all over
the top of this basket,
and what else is really strange
is that this basket
also has matchbooks,
old matchbooks.
It's a black rattan-type basket,
and the people
at the antique shop
said that they had
never opened it
and that it was told to them
it was a haunted basket.
It was a strange-looking basket,
had all these things
stuck to it.
It was sealed in wax.
Maybe somebody didn't
want it opened.
You nervous, heather?
Yeah, a little bit.
Patty and heather arm
themselves with items
known to hold
protective properties.
I have a huge selenite
right here.
I have a bowl of
every protective crystal
you can imagine.
First, they used a spirit box,
a device used to make contact
with the dead
through radio frequencies
to try to communicate with it.
Do you mind if we open this box?
I mean basket. I'm sorry.
It's good to ask permission
because the spirits will respect
you more when you ask permission
for certain things like that.
You know, "is it okay if I go
ahead and open this?"
it's just something I do,
and I just feel like
it's the right thing to do.
Okay. Well, we're going to
open this basket.
I hope you don't mind.
The fact that they were asking
and showing some respect
is always a good thing,
and this team
is clearly experienced
in how to run an investigation
the proper way.
How many spirits
are with us right now?
Three? - Three?
Where did this box come from?
Can you tell us?
She was getting
some really great hits
on that modified radio
when she was asking questions.
All right. So are you about
ready to open this basket?
What do you think?
You can open it.
Whoa. That tree just moved
behind you again.
Yeah. Oh. What?
It's a frog because he bounced
from the leaf to the...
See him?
But I did see... oh, my...
Whoa. What the... oh, hell no.
That wasn't no damn frog.
The entire tree seemed
to have fallen
right on top of her
unexpectedly.
To me, a tree that size
would be difficult
for a single frog
to knock the tree over.
Oh, gosh, that scared us
to death.
My daughter jumped up and ran.
- That was not...
- She was like, " this."
she just went in the house.
That is no frog
that just did that.
There was a frog on that tree.
She had just seen a frog,
but I just don't see
how a little frog
would make that tree...
It's pretty heavy.
Oh, my... whoa. What the...
The base of it is really heavy,
so I don't see how that tree
would have fell like that.
It's okay.
We're protected out here.
It's definitely a sign that
something is about to happen.
You know, if it wasn't
a hurricane coming in,
then it was definitely some kind
of poltergeist activity
starting to happen.
A few minutes later,
heather had the courage
to return to the basket.
They regained their composure
and pressed on
with the investigation.
Okay. Here we go.
We are about to
open this basket.
She's got the knife.
My thought was, "ooh,
this is sealed for a reason.
Why are you opening it?
This is potentially dangerous.
This may have consequences."
I just broke the seal
on the wax.
I'm surprised they had
the courage to continue going
and talking with
whatever they felt like
they were interacting with,
something that obviously
has a connection
to this wicker basket.
- Oh.
- Oh.
Oh, okay.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, my god.
As I was opening that thing,
my heart was racing
because I didn't know what was
going to be inside of it.
I'm thinking, "oh, my gosh.
What if it's a body part?"
you know, it could be anything.
The strange activity began
as soon as
the basket was opened.
Keep an eye on the stuffed toy
as it moves exactly
when patty lifts the lid.
Patty and heather
didn't notice this until later
when viewing the tape.
All right.
So I've got this open.
Let's see what's in this basket.
Okay.
I was surprised,
but I was also very interested
at that point to see each item
and trying to examine each item
and try to figure out, you know,
what this all means.
What's this? Ooh.
Ooh, that's creepy-looking.
Yeah, that's creepy-looking.
All those objects,
maybe they were things
that brought somebody joy
at some point,
so maybe it was put in there
to appease the evilness
about the basket.
As they examined the objects,
patty and heather noticed
unusual sounds and movements
happening around them.
Ooh.
Whoa, what?
What?
What the just happened?
What?
Are you serious right now?
That thing just fall over?
Okay. Stuff is moving behind me.
Who is here moving stuff?
Who is this?
Who is here?
I just heard gary.
The story of the basket
seems to be legit.
The original seller sold it
twice only to have it returned
due to strange activity,
and when they opened it,
they seemed to experience
the same activity
that was described before.
So to me, there may be
something going on here.
Oh, my... whoa.
I would absolutely not have
messed with that basket at all.
I keep hearing stuff behind me.
I'm afraid to go look behind me.
There was something
going on behind us, too.
Something was moving around
back there.
We're starting to hear noises
out here.
You have to move on, okay?
We are? We are.
If I was in that room with them,
I probably would have
closed the box or done something
to make sure that
whatever was released
wasn't just floating around
in our house.
I keep hearing stuff behind me.
I'm afraid to go look behind me.
Do you hear that? Yeah.
After all that stuff happened
when we opened
that basket
that night in that video,
I said, "I'm not taking
this thing back in my house.
There's no way."
and we're going to put
everything back.
I keep hearing stuff.
It's in my shed. It's in a box.
I've got holy water
all around it.
It is creepy.
I can see... oh, my...
Whoa. What the...
Oh, hell no.
That wasn't no damn frog.
That was no damn frog.
Oh, my goodness.
What the hell?
This next video was submitted
to "paranormal caught on camera"
from the most
credible source possible...
A former member of the marine
corps force reconnaissance.
Also known as forecon,
it is a unit dedicated
to analytical observation
and gathering of intelligence.
Their job is to track
and observe daily interactions
in the world around them.
You would think
they've seen everything,
but when one force recon marine
spotted something
so completely
out of the ordinary,
he just had to take
a closer look.
In 2015, forecon marines kevin
and his friend
who were stationed
at base camp pendleton
were driving to dinner
in encinitas, california,
when kevin saw bright lights
high up in the sky.
Kevin agreed to appear
in an interview
to describe exactly what he saw.
My name is kevin loud.
As we were going down
the freeway,
I see these multiple
orbs of light
that were kind of
floating in the sky.
After a 30-minute drive,
they arrived at the restaurant,
and much to kevin's surprise,
the lights were still visible.
...Doing reconnaissance
and surveillance,
trying to establish
patterns of life,
and so you'd be observing
something for days on end.
I've never seen anything
like that.
They're flickering,
moving around for over an hour.
It was weird.
Is it drones?
The fact that
they do rearrange themselves
into different patterns
kind of lends to the credibility
that it may be a ufo.
I think it would be
very difficult
to orchestrate drones
to fly that way.
They're very close together.
You would have to have
three drone operators,
and they would have to be
masters of maneuvering
to keep these things
from crashing
into each other in midair.
My best friend from the military
is a force recon sniper,
and he's very technical.
It's not aliens.
Probably something
very scientific behind this.
Is it drones?
To me, there was just no way
they were drones.
Like, I've seen most
military drones before,
and they just did
not seem like that.
These seem brighter than
your average drones would be.
The lights seem to be a lot
stronger than one would think.
I kind of feel like they're not.
My gut says no.
Drones have
a pretty decent fly time,
but when you have something
that's putting off
that amount of light,
it has to have a pretty
large power source,
and I just don't think that
it really would be sustainable
for over an hour.
We had these happen in arizona.
They're called
the phoenix lights.
One dude being
skeptical, it's like,
"could be a drone,"
but the other guy was also
just bringing up another idea.
That's a perfect conversation
that I like to
hear people having because
those are the conversations
that are going to need
to occur more and more
and more just to have people
open their eyes
a little bit to the possibility
of extraterrestrial life.
They're called
the phoenix lights.
They're called what?
Phoenix lights.
They've actually happened
all over the world.
I grew up in phoenix, so I knew
what the phoenix lights were.
Back in 1997 in phoenix,
arizona,
several hundred people
actually witnessed
a wedge-shaped ufo
travel across the city,
and the shape actually
had a series of lights on it
not too unsimilar
to what we see in this video.
Encinitas,
where this footage is filmed,
is parallel with phoenix,
and, of course,
as we heard the man mention
the phoenix lights,
it's possible these are
the same lights
that people saw over phoenix.
Kevin and his friend
eventually went inside to eat,
but when they came back out
over an hour later,
they were shocked the lights
were still noticeable.
And grabbed dinner,
grabbed drinks.
The lights were still there,
and as we were driving back,
they disappeared.
Regardless of
his friend's skepticism,
kevin truly believes
he witnessed
something supernatural
that night.
We just established
that almost every star
that we see in our night sky
is actually a solar system,
so the statistical odds that
we are alone in the universe
are slim compared to having
extraterrestrial life out there.
Coming up, a kitchen
pantry that contains more...
Oh, my god... Than just food.
Do you ever get
the sense you're not alone,
like someone or something
is watching you?
Even if you're alone
in your own home,
perhaps it is best
to take a look around.
It's possible that you could
have uninvited company.
In 2007, a san diego family man
named john
certainly felt that way
as he became
particularly aware of subtle,
odd things happening
in his home.
Repeatedly, he woke up to find
that the pantry door
in his kitchen
had opened during the night.
Intrigued by the incident,
he set up a camera to record
in the kitchen overnight
in search of an explanation,
but little did he know
his journey
down the paranormal rabbit hole
was just beginning.
Upon playback of his recording,
john noticed nothing
out of the ordinary
until about half past midnight
when the pantry door
suddenly swung open.
Curious about
the invisible force,
he continued to film
the door every night,
and each time, the unexplainable
event recurred like clockwork.
The pantry door unlatched
at exactly 12:34 am.
The time 12:34
translates as
one, two, three, four.
If seen over and over,
has specific messages
to people who believe in
esoteric philosophies.
So you would have to go
into numerology and be like,
"what does one, two, three,
four mean in esoteric senses,
and who is this girl?"
The fact that this ghost
could appear at the same time
every night could suggest
that it's a residual haunting.
Sometimes it has to do
with the time of death
that a person died
or something tragic
could have happened
at that moment.
The strange event
continued for months
until one night in September,
john decided to stay up
and watch the door himself.
And that night, he captured
what appeared to be the cause.
All I'm going to say
about this is, "ah! Horrifying!"
I do not like this one bit.
This ghost is
super fricking real.
Did you catch that?
Look again closely.
I have captured
full-bodied apparitions.
I have seen
full-bodied apparitions.
It's something that in
the paranormal field
is kind of,
like, the pot of gold.
That's what you want
to encounter.
John continued to film
the pantry nightly
but no longer wanted to use it
to store his family's food.
It's terrifying to know
that that small of a space
could contain
some sort of entity within.
Windows and doorways tend to be
thought of as spirit portals,
so basically an easy
passageway for spirits
to travel between their world
and our world,
and so that could very well be
a spirit portal in his house.
John posted
the astonishing footage online
hoping someone might
have an explanation,
but the millions of viewers were
just as perplexed as he was,
and one of them,
another california resident,
made arrangements with john
to join him
so he could see for himself.
And on November 21st,
the two investigated together.
John stayed behind the camera.
It's day 10, 12:03 am.
Still nothing happening.
But just minutes later...
Oh, yeah.
They couldn't believe
what they were seeing,
and john encouraged him
to make contact.
If you do happen to
come across an apparition
and it seems to be intelligent,
and there's some
kind of communication,
I would recommend
any kind of contact.
There's a theory that
when an apparition appears
or manifests,
it uses all kinds of energy,
and what's energy?
Energy is heat.
So it's glomming this energy
out of the environment,
and it's going to
leave a cold spot.
Usually, you can feel
a drop in temperature
whenever there's some kind
of spirit around the room.
It's difficult to determine
exactly what it's trying
to communicate,
but it puts its hands up
to the glass.
It puts its face up
to the glass.
I don't know why it would do
that other than to be noticed.
I imagine it would be
very frustrating
if you couldn't be seen.
She looks like a little girl,
so maybe she's just looking
for a little attention.
Maybe she's a little lonely
or a little lost.
Then john urged him to
walk directly into the pantry.
This guy was pretty
brave to open that door up
and try to see
what it actually is.
I think I probably
would have cracked open
my finest bottle of whiskey
at that time
and just went down to the cellar
and tried to forget
that ever happened.
Despite their efforts,
they weren't able to get
much of a response
from the entity,
but one thing is for certain.
That's crazy.
The man went home a believer.
As for john and his family,
they were thoroughly spooked
by the events
and moved shortly after.
Coming up, a terrifying hunt
for the dangerous slender man.
- Oh - go, go, go.
Urban legends used to
be passed down by word of mouth,
but with the advent
of the internet,
they are able to spread
faster than ever before.
This can be seen in the recent
phenomenon of the slender man.
Stories first appeared
on the the dark web in 2009
and described slender man
as an abnormally tall,
thin, faceless man
wearing a suit.
The slender man is considered
to be very dangerous
to anyone he comes into contact
with, especially children.
The new bogeyman went viral,
and worldwide
slender man sightings
have increased
over the last decade,
which would lead a brave team
of paranormal investigators
on a nightmarish hunt
for an up-close encounter.
Oh
Kids and adults alike
all over the world were into,
"what is slender man?
What is this new cryptid?
Who is this new
crazy character?"
and that's what gives
slender man the power.
Much like freddy krueger,
the more the people
think about him,
the more real he becomes
in the minds of people.
There is a phenomenon
known as tulpa,
which if enough people
believe in an entity,
believe in an idea,
they can manifest it
and make it real.
So if enough people
are out there thinking
about the slender man
and thinking about it hard
enough and want it bad enough,
they potentially
could manifest this thing
and make it a real creature.
So if the power of thought alone
can actually will a paranormal
entity into existence,
the question must be asked...
How much thinking has there been
about the slender man?
There's like 111 million views
on the slender man.
So just imagine
fearing this entity,
the type of energy,
negative mental energy.
It snowballs and snowballs
and snowballs,
and to be honest,
makes this bogeyman very real.
Moe sargi and his friend renny
were the latest people to go out
in search of evidence
of slender man's existence.
People say
this forest is haunted,
and it could be
because of slender man.
If it's in our minds, if it's
in our psyche, then is it real?
If we create our reality,
who's to say
that slender man doesn't exist?
Stories often describe
slender man
lurking in more remote
wooded areas,
so the two friends set out
into the canadian forest
in March 2019,
to see if they could catch a
glimpse of the fearsome legend.
People claim they see
a slender man figure
right through that dark-ass,
creepy-looking path.
Have been a lot of sightings
by people
that come through here.
I would not tell anybody
to put their lives in jeopardy
looking for something
that may or may not exist.
I'd have more fun
actually looking for bigfoot
than I would for a slender man.
The heck is that thing?
Pretty sure that's just a
garbage bag that somebody threw.
Take it down, okay? Okay.
Here, here. I'll go get it.
Positioned high up in the tree,
the mysterious bag proved
too tempting not to investigate.
Why the hell would someone
throw garbage up there, man?
Well, I can't see
because it's too dark.
Hold up.
Let me get my flashlight.
If I saw this doll in the bag
in the woods, I would say,
"either somebody is really
playing a sick joke,
or there's somebody out
here watching me that...
I don't think
I want to be here."
man, that's gross.
That's just wrong, man.
Afraid and unsure of who or what
could have left the doll there,
moe and renny were about
to call it quits, but then...
- Oh run! Run! Run!
- Go, go, go.
It doesn't look like
it's cgi-ed in.
It looks like it's standing
in the field and walking.
- Oh, run! Run!
- Go!
What the was it?
Moe and renny didn't
stick around to find out
whether the entity they captured
was the slender man or not...
What was that thing?
...And seemed thankful
they were still alive
to share their experience.
I would not recommend
other people go out
looking for slender man
like this, no.
Oh
- Run, run!
- Go, go, go.
Coming up, was this ufo
spying on a top missile base?
The residents of
bakersfield, california,
are no strangers
to witnessing missiles
launch from nearby
vandenberg air force base.
They know all the telltale signs
and are used to seeing
spectacular light displays
and vapor streams
streaked across the sky.
But back in September 2001,
a young boy named
donald derouin spotted
something shocking that couldn't
be easily explained.
Donald, who was 10 years old
at the time,
was testing out
his new video camera
in his grandparents' backyard
when he saw
an incredibly bright light
that caught his attention.
He tried to zoom in to see
if he could get a better look.
My name is donald derouin,
and I was just playing around
with a video camera
like a normal
10-year-old kid would do
and just messing with the zoom,
and I could see
this dot in the sky.
I had no idea what it was.
I thought it was, like,
an airplane at first,
and then I'd zoom in,
and it was a triangle,
and it kind of took me
off guard for a second.
We're about 100 miles
from the base,
and this is when they were doing
a lot of testing and stuff.
Like, you can see
the spacex rockets
when they shoot them now,
but nothing during the middle
of the day kind of like that.
It wasn't moving like anything
I've ever seen before,
and it was unusually bright, so
definitely out of the ordinary.
One of the fascinating
things about this clip
is the three-dimensional
appearance of the object.
It's like a pyramid shape
as if you just picked up
one of
the great pyramids of giza
and hung it suspended
in the air.
This video was shot in 2001,
so to me, that eliminates drones
and in-camera visual effects
and all that sort of thing.
So what we're looking at
is most likely something
that's actually floating there
in the sky.
When I zoom out
is when it starts to move,
and I couldn't really
catch it again,
and that's when it really
started to scare me.
It moved slowly at first,
then very fast and disappeared.
What made this even more curious
was later that night,
a missile was launched
from the base,
and the familiar sight of lights
and air streams
were seen in the sky,
which donald also recorded,
causing him to ask the question,
"could these two incidents
be related?"
I would say they probably had
something to do with each other.
If they were checking this out
to see what we were launching
into space
could be a logical explanation.
We've seen these pyramids
hovering over the pentagon, too,
so it's like
what is the connection there?
You know, you have these
military installations,
and then you have these pyramids
floating directly over them.
What are they doing?
Are they observing?
Are they spying?
If ufologists believed
that all of
the aircrafts we have now
are from things we've discovered
from alien crafts,
maybe they're just keeping
an eye
on the information they gave us.
Whatever it was,
it certainly had
a profound effect on donald
and molded how he viewed
the world as he grew up.
When you're finding out things
like santa claus
and the easter bunny
is not real,
then there's stuff like
that happening,
and you can't explain it,
it really strains
the 10-year-old's mind
on what's possible
and what's out there.
Seeing something
like that in the sky
I would hope
would shape his life.
You know, you have to have
these experiences
to kind of
make you question everything.
Coming up, ghostly game play
in a haunted garage, and...
There's a horse with a horn.
...A unicorn sighting in wales.
The latest home security cameras
now allow monitoring
on our smartphones
so we can constantly keep an eye
out for intruders in real time.
However, what happens when
cameras capture a home intrusion
by entities not of this world
but the paranormal?
In 2018, dawn booth
and her husband
were away from their
long island, new york, home
when their phones dinged
with a troubling message
from their security system.
The cameras in their detached
garage-turned-game-room
had detected
some suspicious noises,
and they were afraid
they were being burglarized.
They quickly opened the app
to view the footage,
but the video seemed to have one
very important thing missing...
Any sign of a living person.
I mean, the most logical thing
to think first is,
"oh, my god.
Someone broke into my house,"
but then when you look closer,
and you realize,
"oh, there's no
actual people in there,"
I would definitely freak out.
However, the booths did notice
a wispy, translucent shape
floating in front of a chair.
It's not your standard,
"oh, there's an orb
or a piece of dust
floating around."
it's got a form.
I've never seen anything
like that.
A lot of people could speculate
that could be ectoplasm
or something along those lines.
Whatever it is,
it seems to be undulating
and pulsating
and moving across the room
almost in a fashion
that denotes intelligence
because it seems curious.
Like, it's testing out.
It's feeling out
its new environment.
Next, they heard
the familiar clank
of two pool balls
banging together.
It takes force
to cause one ball to move
and then to clink with such
force into the second ball.
Is it coming from whatever
this amorphous shape is?
It's possible.
When you see the pool ball move,
it's sort of wedged,
and it's a tight shot even
with a stick to make that shot.
It's very difficult
to manipulate.
It does move with
quite a bit of force.
It's not just rolling
because the table
is unlevel or something.
And then the pinball
machine is suddenly turned on
as though
someone was playing it.
Usually when there's
paranormal activity,
it can mess with electronics,
so it makes sense that
the pinball machine
started spazzing.
Perhaps they want to play
with these items.
You know, if they were
a living person at one point,
perhaps they loved to play,
and they finally got
that thing to turn on,
and we just happened
to catch it.
For my paranormal investigator
checklist,
you've got the pool balls,
you've got the pinball machine
going on,
and you've got this
kind of strange anomaly
happening all at the same time.
So a great piece of footage,
and, you know, I'd be interested
to learn a little bit more
about what's going on there.
Dawn and her husband
were too frightened
by what they saw and no longer
use their game room,
but their cameras are ready
to pick up
any more ghostly activity.
My advice to these owners
after watching this video
is don't panic.
Don't jump to conclusions
just yet.
There's nothing malevolent
to be gleaned
from what we're seeing here.
Definitely don't worry
about getting dragged
into some level of hell
or anything like that.
The earliest description of
a unicorn dates back to 400 bc
when it was described in greek
literature as a white horse
with a long horn
on its forehead.
Since then,
the myth of the unicorn
has spread around the world
with countries in europe,
asia, and the americas
all having stories
depicting the enchanted beast.
Many believe the legend
is just that... a legend,
but when a majestic white horse
with a long horn on its forehead
was seen grazing afield
in wales,
it raised the question...
Could these creatures
actually exist?
In September, 2013, james button
and his friend chris
had just settled into
their office to begin work.
Hi. I'm james button.
I was sitting at my desk,
and I was about to do some work
and got bored,
and, like, I was just staring
out the window, daydreaming,
just imagining things,
and being in wales,
there's a lot of sheep,
so I expected
just to see some more sheep.
But on one particular day,
the animal that james saw
out the window
sent him scrambling
to get his video camera.
At first, I wasn't quite sure
if it was a unicorn.
It did take a couple of seconds
to kind of register what it was.
It did stand out that
that unicorn was...
Well, it was white and horned.
If it were a brown horse,
you wouldn't care, but no.
It's a pure-white horse
with this pure-white horn.
It looks exactly like you
would expect a unicorn to look.
It seems pretty convincing,
and the reaction of the video
owner is pretty genuine.
I think I would have tried
to get up close to it
because unicorns
are known to be friendly.
I think that's one
of the very few cryptids
I would actually try
and get closer to.
Once I knew that we had
something, I said,
"come on. Let's go
and let's get a closer look."
so me and chris moved as quick
as possible to the elevator,
and then went down
couple floors,
and by the time we got outside,
he had gone.
When it comes to
the legend of the unicorn,
there is a lot
that comes behind it,
that the unicorn has
magical properties,
that its horn can cure,
that its horn can summon,
that its horn
can do so many things,
and that's why
it was sought after.
This is where you'd expect
unicorns to exist...
England and europe,
these enchanted forests.
James did post the video online
where it racked up
thousands of views
with many very excited by
the potential proof of unicorns.
It was something special.
It needed to be captured,
so it was definitely
important to film it.
I needed to get that evidence
that obviously...
While this video isn't
definitive proof
that unicorns exist,
it does raise questions,
and where there are questions,
there has to be follow-up.
Maybe someone will want to
follow up on this video and go,
"you know what? Let's see if
we can track down this unicorn."
you do see animals in nature
that do have horns
like the narwhal,
the unicorn of the sea.
You know, that's something
that we can go
and we can point to and go,
"yes, reality."
so why is it so far-fetched for
there to have been a unicorn?
James hasn't
seen the unicorn since,
but he still looks out
his window every day
hoping to catch another glimpse
of the elusive animal.
I'm just glad I looked out the
window at that moment in time.
We all know that unicorns
don't exist, or do they?
The legend had to have
come from somewhere.
Coming up...
...A case of school spirit
rattles a paranormal
investigator.
Manor farm
in southampton, England,
has been around
for over 600 years.
Originally used
as a working farm
which included housing
for the farmers
and a schoolroom
for their children,
it is now primarily
a petting zoo and museum
showcasing
what rural life was like.
Over the years, the staff
who maintain the property
say they'd witnessed
some poltergeist activity
and have spotted
the spirits of children
who attended the school.
After hearing these reports,
two brave souls decided
to investigate
the old schoolhouse themselves
and got a lesson
in the supernatural.
On February 10, 2019,
tony ferguson and his wife
gained access to the potentially
haunted schoolroom
so they could see for themselves
if the rumors of
ghostly activity were true.
My name is tony ferguson.
I went in there
and was just amazed
from the moment I got in there.
Straightaway, as soon as
you walk into the house
and the school, it just felt
like you're being watched.
This being an older school,
I'm sure that they had
generations of children
sitting at these desks
over the years,
so you've got a lot of energy
to draw off of.
I hated school.
I'm sure that I left
some nasty pieces of energy
at my middle school.
In an attempt to grab
the attention
of any potential
student entities,
tony tried using
a common schoolroom command.
...So I thought I'd try
and reenact being a teacher,
and, you know, was talking
to schoolchildren,
and you just felt, like,
a static thing
going around your body.
It was almost like the room
just came alive.
That's the best way
to describe it.
These investigators
are asking questions
that would pertain
to people in school,
so they're kind of putting
themselves in the environment
and trying to stir up activity
by being part
of whatever is there,
which is kind of the best way
to go about getting activity.
Tony didn't seem to be
having much luck, but then...
That's the door.
I actually point out behind me.
I heard a noise upstairs, and I
usually get a ringing in my ear.
There's the door.
He is asking for any spirits
in the room
to make themselves known,
and then we see the posters
on the wall sort of flutter,
and then the door
just closes on its own.
I probably would have freaked
out if that happened to me.
There's the door.
You just see me freeze
because I was almost like,
"okay, I wasn't expecting that."
you know, like, you don't.
For me, it was very loud.
It was right in my ear.
The takeaway from this
video is that he was very calm.
He didn't overreact.
He didn't jump.
He wasn't scared when
something happened
because in an investigation,
that's what you're there
to experience.
If he says, "hey, can you
make something move?
Can you close this door?"
and the door closes,
there shouldn't be a surprise.
That's what you asked for,
and it was being delivered.
And the door slams
really with a lot of force.
If it were a draft of some kind,
it would have to be
a wind-tunnel-quality draft
because it doesn't
just move slowly.
It slams.
And we tried to debunk it
whether it could be wind or...
There was nothing there.
We were in that room
for a large amount of time,
and with the actual force
it went,
I was stood there in shock.
It happened after he asked
the spirits to give him a sign.
Any children here?
Can you make a massive
banging noise, please?
I think that the spirits
in this room
were just answering
his question.
When I'm on an investigation,
I'll always say, you know,
"hey, if you don't want us here,
give us a sign or touch me
or open a door,"
and if something does happen
after that,
of course we will leave,
but to me in this clip,
I don't think the door
is indicative of,
"hey, I want you to stay,"
or "I want you to leave."
I think it's an easy way
for them
to bring attention
that they're there.
Tony was not disappointed
by what he found at the farm,
but he hopes to make
further contact
with the spirits he encountered.
I'd love to go back
because for me,
it's almost like
you build a story.
You build a connection
with these locations
the more you go back,
the more you interact
with the spirit,
and I think if I went back,
I'd probably get more evidence.
What should you do
in the event you witness
something paranormal?
Here are some tips
to get it all on camera.
Keep your eyes
and your camera on the skies.
Go to where the spirits are.
Never stop recording...
Oh, my god.
...Even when you're scared.
And if you do catch something,
and connect with us
on social media.
Your footage could be seen
right here
on "paranormal caught
on camera."
"paranormal caught on camera,"
a kitchen apparition
spooks a san diego family...
All I'm going to say
about this is, "ah! Horrifying!"
...Strange lights seen
high up in the california sky...
They're flickering,
moving around for over an hour.
It was weird.
...A mythic creature
spotted in wales...
That's a unicorn right there.
It looks exactly like you
would expect a unicorn to look.
...A haunted basket
mystifies in florida...
Okay, here we go.
We are about
to open this basket.
As I was opening that thing,
my heart was racing
because I didn't know what was
going to be inside of it.
...A spirit
makes its presence known
in a british schoolhouse...
That's the door.
...And even more
paranormal footage
you have to see to believe.
Oh!
Antiques stores
are known to carry many items
that are appreciated
for their special value
due to their age or handicraft.
But an older wicker basket
found in texas,
which was said to be haunted,
seemed to be getting attention
for something more sinister.
The basket, which had been
sealed with wax,
had been bought
and returned twice,
with each owner saying
they experienced misfortune
while in possession of it.
So when paranormal enthusiasts
patty adams and her daughter,
heather, got their hands on it,
they were intrigued
by the reports
and curious about
what might be inside.
- Ah! Oh, my...
- Whoa. What the...
In August 2018, the basket was
given to patty by a friend
who had come across it
in an antique shop
while on vacation in texas.
The shop's owner
had told the friend
about the basket's
disturbing history,
and when the friend
brought it back for patty,
she relayed the information.
The basket's first owner
ended up in the hospital,
and its second owner
started having scary problems
with their car.
Unsure what could be causing
all these issues,
patty decided to conduct an
investigation on her back porch
in spring hill, florida.
We would like to communicate
with whoever is attached
to this box.
My name is patty.
I was a little bit nervous
with the basket at first
because, you know,
the unknown and the stories
that she told me about it.
There's wax melted all over
the top of this basket,
and what else is really strange
is that this basket
also has matchbooks,
old matchbooks.
It's a black rattan-type basket,
and the people
at the antique shop
said that they had
never opened it
and that it was told to them
it was a haunted basket.
It was a strange-looking basket,
had all these things
stuck to it.
It was sealed in wax.
Maybe somebody didn't
want it opened.
You nervous, heather?
Yeah, a little bit.
Patty and heather arm
themselves with items
known to hold
protective properties.
I have a huge selenite
right here.
I have a bowl of
every protective crystal
you can imagine.
First, they used a spirit box,
a device used to make contact
with the dead
through radio frequencies
to try to communicate with it.
Do you mind if we open this box?
I mean basket. I'm sorry.
It's good to ask permission
because the spirits will respect
you more when you ask permission
for certain things like that.
You know, "is it okay if I go
ahead and open this?"
it's just something I do,
and I just feel like
it's the right thing to do.
Okay. Well, we're going to
open this basket.
I hope you don't mind.
The fact that they were asking
and showing some respect
is always a good thing,
and this team
is clearly experienced
in how to run an investigation
the proper way.
How many spirits
are with us right now?
Three? - Three?
Where did this box come from?
Can you tell us?
She was getting
some really great hits
on that modified radio
when she was asking questions.
All right. So are you about
ready to open this basket?
What do you think?
You can open it.
Whoa. That tree just moved
behind you again.
Yeah. Oh. What?
It's a frog because he bounced
from the leaf to the...
See him?
But I did see... oh, my...
Whoa. What the... oh, hell no.
That wasn't no damn frog.
The entire tree seemed
to have fallen
right on top of her
unexpectedly.
To me, a tree that size
would be difficult
for a single frog
to knock the tree over.
Oh, gosh, that scared us
to death.
My daughter jumped up and ran.
- That was not...
- She was like, " this."
she just went in the house.
That is no frog
that just did that.
There was a frog on that tree.
She had just seen a frog,
but I just don't see
how a little frog
would make that tree...
It's pretty heavy.
Oh, my... whoa. What the...
The base of it is really heavy,
so I don't see how that tree
would have fell like that.
It's okay.
We're protected out here.
It's definitely a sign that
something is about to happen.
You know, if it wasn't
a hurricane coming in,
then it was definitely some kind
of poltergeist activity
starting to happen.
A few minutes later,
heather had the courage
to return to the basket.
They regained their composure
and pressed on
with the investigation.
Okay. Here we go.
We are about to
open this basket.
She's got the knife.
My thought was, "ooh,
this is sealed for a reason.
Why are you opening it?
This is potentially dangerous.
This may have consequences."
I just broke the seal
on the wax.
I'm surprised they had
the courage to continue going
and talking with
whatever they felt like
they were interacting with,
something that obviously
has a connection
to this wicker basket.
- Oh.
- Oh.
Oh, okay.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, my god.
As I was opening that thing,
my heart was racing
because I didn't know what was
going to be inside of it.
I'm thinking, "oh, my gosh.
What if it's a body part?"
you know, it could be anything.
The strange activity began
as soon as
the basket was opened.
Keep an eye on the stuffed toy
as it moves exactly
when patty lifts the lid.
Patty and heather
didn't notice this until later
when viewing the tape.
All right.
So I've got this open.
Let's see what's in this basket.
Okay.
I was surprised,
but I was also very interested
at that point to see each item
and trying to examine each item
and try to figure out, you know,
what this all means.
What's this? Ooh.
Ooh, that's creepy-looking.
Yeah, that's creepy-looking.
All those objects,
maybe they were things
that brought somebody joy
at some point,
so maybe it was put in there
to appease the evilness
about the basket.
As they examined the objects,
patty and heather noticed
unusual sounds and movements
happening around them.
Ooh.
Whoa, what?
What?
What the just happened?
What?
Are you serious right now?
That thing just fall over?
Okay. Stuff is moving behind me.
Who is here moving stuff?
Who is this?
Who is here?
I just heard gary.
The story of the basket
seems to be legit.
The original seller sold it
twice only to have it returned
due to strange activity,
and when they opened it,
they seemed to experience
the same activity
that was described before.
So to me, there may be
something going on here.
Oh, my... whoa.
I would absolutely not have
messed with that basket at all.
I keep hearing stuff behind me.
I'm afraid to go look behind me.
There was something
going on behind us, too.
Something was moving around
back there.
We're starting to hear noises
out here.
You have to move on, okay?
We are? We are.
If I was in that room with them,
I probably would have
closed the box or done something
to make sure that
whatever was released
wasn't just floating around
in our house.
I keep hearing stuff behind me.
I'm afraid to go look behind me.
Do you hear that? Yeah.
After all that stuff happened
when we opened
that basket
that night in that video,
I said, "I'm not taking
this thing back in my house.
There's no way."
and we're going to put
everything back.
I keep hearing stuff.
It's in my shed. It's in a box.
I've got holy water
all around it.
It is creepy.
I can see... oh, my...
Whoa. What the...
Oh, hell no.
That wasn't no damn frog.
That was no damn frog.
Oh, my goodness.
What the hell?
This next video was submitted
to "paranormal caught on camera"
from the most
credible source possible...
A former member of the marine
corps force reconnaissance.
Also known as forecon,
it is a unit dedicated
to analytical observation
and gathering of intelligence.
Their job is to track
and observe daily interactions
in the world around them.
You would think
they've seen everything,
but when one force recon marine
spotted something
so completely
out of the ordinary,
he just had to take
a closer look.
In 2015, forecon marines kevin
and his friend
who were stationed
at base camp pendleton
were driving to dinner
in encinitas, california,
when kevin saw bright lights
high up in the sky.
Kevin agreed to appear
in an interview
to describe exactly what he saw.
My name is kevin loud.
As we were going down
the freeway,
I see these multiple
orbs of light
that were kind of
floating in the sky.
After a 30-minute drive,
they arrived at the restaurant,
and much to kevin's surprise,
the lights were still visible.
...Doing reconnaissance
and surveillance,
trying to establish
patterns of life,
and so you'd be observing
something for days on end.
I've never seen anything
like that.
They're flickering,
moving around for over an hour.
It was weird.
Is it drones?
The fact that
they do rearrange themselves
into different patterns
kind of lends to the credibility
that it may be a ufo.
I think it would be
very difficult
to orchestrate drones
to fly that way.
They're very close together.
You would have to have
three drone operators,
and they would have to be
masters of maneuvering
to keep these things
from crashing
into each other in midair.
My best friend from the military
is a force recon sniper,
and he's very technical.
It's not aliens.
Probably something
very scientific behind this.
Is it drones?
To me, there was just no way
they were drones.
Like, I've seen most
military drones before,
and they just did
not seem like that.
These seem brighter than
your average drones would be.
The lights seem to be a lot
stronger than one would think.
I kind of feel like they're not.
My gut says no.
Drones have
a pretty decent fly time,
but when you have something
that's putting off
that amount of light,
it has to have a pretty
large power source,
and I just don't think that
it really would be sustainable
for over an hour.
We had these happen in arizona.
They're called
the phoenix lights.
One dude being
skeptical, it's like,
"could be a drone,"
but the other guy was also
just bringing up another idea.
That's a perfect conversation
that I like to
hear people having because
those are the conversations
that are going to need
to occur more and more
and more just to have people
open their eyes
a little bit to the possibility
of extraterrestrial life.
They're called
the phoenix lights.
They're called what?
Phoenix lights.
They've actually happened
all over the world.
I grew up in phoenix, so I knew
what the phoenix lights were.
Back in 1997 in phoenix,
arizona,
several hundred people
actually witnessed
a wedge-shaped ufo
travel across the city,
and the shape actually
had a series of lights on it
not too unsimilar
to what we see in this video.
Encinitas,
where this footage is filmed,
is parallel with phoenix,
and, of course,
as we heard the man mention
the phoenix lights,
it's possible these are
the same lights
that people saw over phoenix.
Kevin and his friend
eventually went inside to eat,
but when they came back out
over an hour later,
they were shocked the lights
were still noticeable.
And grabbed dinner,
grabbed drinks.
The lights were still there,
and as we were driving back,
they disappeared.
Regardless of
his friend's skepticism,
kevin truly believes
he witnessed
something supernatural
that night.
We just established
that almost every star
that we see in our night sky
is actually a solar system,
so the statistical odds that
we are alone in the universe
are slim compared to having
extraterrestrial life out there.
Coming up, a kitchen
pantry that contains more...
Oh, my god... Than just food.
Do you ever get
the sense you're not alone,
like someone or something
is watching you?
Even if you're alone
in your own home,
perhaps it is best
to take a look around.
It's possible that you could
have uninvited company.
In 2007, a san diego family man
named john
certainly felt that way
as he became
particularly aware of subtle,
odd things happening
in his home.
Repeatedly, he woke up to find
that the pantry door
in his kitchen
had opened during the night.
Intrigued by the incident,
he set up a camera to record
in the kitchen overnight
in search of an explanation,
but little did he know
his journey
down the paranormal rabbit hole
was just beginning.
Upon playback of his recording,
john noticed nothing
out of the ordinary
until about half past midnight
when the pantry door
suddenly swung open.
Curious about
the invisible force,
he continued to film
the door every night,
and each time, the unexplainable
event recurred like clockwork.
The pantry door unlatched
at exactly 12:34 am.
The time 12:34
translates as
one, two, three, four.
If seen over and over,
has specific messages
to people who believe in
esoteric philosophies.
So you would have to go
into numerology and be like,
"what does one, two, three,
four mean in esoteric senses,
and who is this girl?"
The fact that this ghost
could appear at the same time
every night could suggest
that it's a residual haunting.
Sometimes it has to do
with the time of death
that a person died
or something tragic
could have happened
at that moment.
The strange event
continued for months
until one night in September,
john decided to stay up
and watch the door himself.
And that night, he captured
what appeared to be the cause.
All I'm going to say
about this is, "ah! Horrifying!"
I do not like this one bit.
This ghost is
super fricking real.
Did you catch that?
Look again closely.
I have captured
full-bodied apparitions.
I have seen
full-bodied apparitions.
It's something that in
the paranormal field
is kind of,
like, the pot of gold.
That's what you want
to encounter.
John continued to film
the pantry nightly
but no longer wanted to use it
to store his family's food.
It's terrifying to know
that that small of a space
could contain
some sort of entity within.
Windows and doorways tend to be
thought of as spirit portals,
so basically an easy
passageway for spirits
to travel between their world
and our world,
and so that could very well be
a spirit portal in his house.
John posted
the astonishing footage online
hoping someone might
have an explanation,
but the millions of viewers were
just as perplexed as he was,
and one of them,
another california resident,
made arrangements with john
to join him
so he could see for himself.
And on November 21st,
the two investigated together.
John stayed behind the camera.
It's day 10, 12:03 am.
Still nothing happening.
But just minutes later...
Oh, yeah.
They couldn't believe
what they were seeing,
and john encouraged him
to make contact.
If you do happen to
come across an apparition
and it seems to be intelligent,
and there's some
kind of communication,
I would recommend
any kind of contact.
There's a theory that
when an apparition appears
or manifests,
it uses all kinds of energy,
and what's energy?
Energy is heat.
So it's glomming this energy
out of the environment,
and it's going to
leave a cold spot.
Usually, you can feel
a drop in temperature
whenever there's some kind
of spirit around the room.
It's difficult to determine
exactly what it's trying
to communicate,
but it puts its hands up
to the glass.
It puts its face up
to the glass.
I don't know why it would do
that other than to be noticed.
I imagine it would be
very frustrating
if you couldn't be seen.
She looks like a little girl,
so maybe she's just looking
for a little attention.
Maybe she's a little lonely
or a little lost.
Then john urged him to
walk directly into the pantry.
This guy was pretty
brave to open that door up
and try to see
what it actually is.
I think I probably
would have cracked open
my finest bottle of whiskey
at that time
and just went down to the cellar
and tried to forget
that ever happened.
Despite their efforts,
they weren't able to get
much of a response
from the entity,
but one thing is for certain.
That's crazy.
The man went home a believer.
As for john and his family,
they were thoroughly spooked
by the events
and moved shortly after.
Coming up, a terrifying hunt
for the dangerous slender man.
- Oh - go, go, go.
Urban legends used to
be passed down by word of mouth,
but with the advent
of the internet,
they are able to spread
faster than ever before.
This can be seen in the recent
phenomenon of the slender man.
Stories first appeared
on the the dark web in 2009
and described slender man
as an abnormally tall,
thin, faceless man
wearing a suit.
The slender man is considered
to be very dangerous
to anyone he comes into contact
with, especially children.
The new bogeyman went viral,
and worldwide
slender man sightings
have increased
over the last decade,
which would lead a brave team
of paranormal investigators
on a nightmarish hunt
for an up-close encounter.
Oh
Kids and adults alike
all over the world were into,
"what is slender man?
What is this new cryptid?
Who is this new
crazy character?"
and that's what gives
slender man the power.
Much like freddy krueger,
the more the people
think about him,
the more real he becomes
in the minds of people.
There is a phenomenon
known as tulpa,
which if enough people
believe in an entity,
believe in an idea,
they can manifest it
and make it real.
So if enough people
are out there thinking
about the slender man
and thinking about it hard
enough and want it bad enough,
they potentially
could manifest this thing
and make it a real creature.
So if the power of thought alone
can actually will a paranormal
entity into existence,
the question must be asked...
How much thinking has there been
about the slender man?
There's like 111 million views
on the slender man.
So just imagine
fearing this entity,
the type of energy,
negative mental energy.
It snowballs and snowballs
and snowballs,
and to be honest,
makes this bogeyman very real.
Moe sargi and his friend renny
were the latest people to go out
in search of evidence
of slender man's existence.
People say
this forest is haunted,
and it could be
because of slender man.
If it's in our minds, if it's
in our psyche, then is it real?
If we create our reality,
who's to say
that slender man doesn't exist?
Stories often describe
slender man
lurking in more remote
wooded areas,
so the two friends set out
into the canadian forest
in March 2019,
to see if they could catch a
glimpse of the fearsome legend.
People claim they see
a slender man figure
right through that dark-ass,
creepy-looking path.
Have been a lot of sightings
by people
that come through here.
I would not tell anybody
to put their lives in jeopardy
looking for something
that may or may not exist.
I'd have more fun
actually looking for bigfoot
than I would for a slender man.
The heck is that thing?
Pretty sure that's just a
garbage bag that somebody threw.
Take it down, okay? Okay.
Here, here. I'll go get it.
Positioned high up in the tree,
the mysterious bag proved
too tempting not to investigate.
Why the hell would someone
throw garbage up there, man?
Well, I can't see
because it's too dark.
Hold up.
Let me get my flashlight.
If I saw this doll in the bag
in the woods, I would say,
"either somebody is really
playing a sick joke,
or there's somebody out
here watching me that...
I don't think
I want to be here."
man, that's gross.
That's just wrong, man.
Afraid and unsure of who or what
could have left the doll there,
moe and renny were about
to call it quits, but then...
- Oh run! Run! Run!
- Go, go, go.
It doesn't look like
it's cgi-ed in.
It looks like it's standing
in the field and walking.
- Oh, run! Run!
- Go!
What the was it?
Moe and renny didn't
stick around to find out
whether the entity they captured
was the slender man or not...
What was that thing?
...And seemed thankful
they were still alive
to share their experience.
I would not recommend
other people go out
looking for slender man
like this, no.
Oh
- Run, run!
- Go, go, go.
Coming up, was this ufo
spying on a top missile base?
The residents of
bakersfield, california,
are no strangers
to witnessing missiles
launch from nearby
vandenberg air force base.
They know all the telltale signs
and are used to seeing
spectacular light displays
and vapor streams
streaked across the sky.
But back in September 2001,
a young boy named
donald derouin spotted
something shocking that couldn't
be easily explained.
Donald, who was 10 years old
at the time,
was testing out
his new video camera
in his grandparents' backyard
when he saw
an incredibly bright light
that caught his attention.
He tried to zoom in to see
if he could get a better look.
My name is donald derouin,
and I was just playing around
with a video camera
like a normal
10-year-old kid would do
and just messing with the zoom,
and I could see
this dot in the sky.
I had no idea what it was.
I thought it was, like,
an airplane at first,
and then I'd zoom in,
and it was a triangle,
and it kind of took me
off guard for a second.
We're about 100 miles
from the base,
and this is when they were doing
a lot of testing and stuff.
Like, you can see
the spacex rockets
when they shoot them now,
but nothing during the middle
of the day kind of like that.
It wasn't moving like anything
I've ever seen before,
and it was unusually bright, so
definitely out of the ordinary.
One of the fascinating
things about this clip
is the three-dimensional
appearance of the object.
It's like a pyramid shape
as if you just picked up
one of
the great pyramids of giza
and hung it suspended
in the air.
This video was shot in 2001,
so to me, that eliminates drones
and in-camera visual effects
and all that sort of thing.
So what we're looking at
is most likely something
that's actually floating there
in the sky.
When I zoom out
is when it starts to move,
and I couldn't really
catch it again,
and that's when it really
started to scare me.
It moved slowly at first,
then very fast and disappeared.
What made this even more curious
was later that night,
a missile was launched
from the base,
and the familiar sight of lights
and air streams
were seen in the sky,
which donald also recorded,
causing him to ask the question,
"could these two incidents
be related?"
I would say they probably had
something to do with each other.
If they were checking this out
to see what we were launching
into space
could be a logical explanation.
We've seen these pyramids
hovering over the pentagon, too,
so it's like
what is the connection there?
You know, you have these
military installations,
and then you have these pyramids
floating directly over them.
What are they doing?
Are they observing?
Are they spying?
If ufologists believed
that all of
the aircrafts we have now
are from things we've discovered
from alien crafts,
maybe they're just keeping
an eye
on the information they gave us.
Whatever it was,
it certainly had
a profound effect on donald
and molded how he viewed
the world as he grew up.
When you're finding out things
like santa claus
and the easter bunny
is not real,
then there's stuff like
that happening,
and you can't explain it,
it really strains
the 10-year-old's mind
on what's possible
and what's out there.
Seeing something
like that in the sky
I would hope
would shape his life.
You know, you have to have
these experiences
to kind of
make you question everything.
Coming up, ghostly game play
in a haunted garage, and...
There's a horse with a horn.
...A unicorn sighting in wales.
The latest home security cameras
now allow monitoring
on our smartphones
so we can constantly keep an eye
out for intruders in real time.
However, what happens when
cameras capture a home intrusion
by entities not of this world
but the paranormal?
In 2018, dawn booth
and her husband
were away from their
long island, new york, home
when their phones dinged
with a troubling message
from their security system.
The cameras in their detached
garage-turned-game-room
had detected
some suspicious noises,
and they were afraid
they were being burglarized.
They quickly opened the app
to view the footage,
but the video seemed to have one
very important thing missing...
Any sign of a living person.
I mean, the most logical thing
to think first is,
"oh, my god.
Someone broke into my house,"
but then when you look closer,
and you realize,
"oh, there's no
actual people in there,"
I would definitely freak out.
However, the booths did notice
a wispy, translucent shape
floating in front of a chair.
It's not your standard,
"oh, there's an orb
or a piece of dust
floating around."
it's got a form.
I've never seen anything
like that.
A lot of people could speculate
that could be ectoplasm
or something along those lines.
Whatever it is,
it seems to be undulating
and pulsating
and moving across the room
almost in a fashion
that denotes intelligence
because it seems curious.
Like, it's testing out.
It's feeling out
its new environment.
Next, they heard
the familiar clank
of two pool balls
banging together.
It takes force
to cause one ball to move
and then to clink with such
force into the second ball.
Is it coming from whatever
this amorphous shape is?
It's possible.
When you see the pool ball move,
it's sort of wedged,
and it's a tight shot even
with a stick to make that shot.
It's very difficult
to manipulate.
It does move with
quite a bit of force.
It's not just rolling
because the table
is unlevel or something.
And then the pinball
machine is suddenly turned on
as though
someone was playing it.
Usually when there's
paranormal activity,
it can mess with electronics,
so it makes sense that
the pinball machine
started spazzing.
Perhaps they want to play
with these items.
You know, if they were
a living person at one point,
perhaps they loved to play,
and they finally got
that thing to turn on,
and we just happened
to catch it.
For my paranormal investigator
checklist,
you've got the pool balls,
you've got the pinball machine
going on,
and you've got this
kind of strange anomaly
happening all at the same time.
So a great piece of footage,
and, you know, I'd be interested
to learn a little bit more
about what's going on there.
Dawn and her husband
were too frightened
by what they saw and no longer
use their game room,
but their cameras are ready
to pick up
any more ghostly activity.
My advice to these owners
after watching this video
is don't panic.
Don't jump to conclusions
just yet.
There's nothing malevolent
to be gleaned
from what we're seeing here.
Definitely don't worry
about getting dragged
into some level of hell
or anything like that.
The earliest description of
a unicorn dates back to 400 bc
when it was described in greek
literature as a white horse
with a long horn
on its forehead.
Since then,
the myth of the unicorn
has spread around the world
with countries in europe,
asia, and the americas
all having stories
depicting the enchanted beast.
Many believe the legend
is just that... a legend,
but when a majestic white horse
with a long horn on its forehead
was seen grazing afield
in wales,
it raised the question...
Could these creatures
actually exist?
In September, 2013, james button
and his friend chris
had just settled into
their office to begin work.
Hi. I'm james button.
I was sitting at my desk,
and I was about to do some work
and got bored,
and, like, I was just staring
out the window, daydreaming,
just imagining things,
and being in wales,
there's a lot of sheep,
so I expected
just to see some more sheep.
But on one particular day,
the animal that james saw
out the window
sent him scrambling
to get his video camera.
At first, I wasn't quite sure
if it was a unicorn.
It did take a couple of seconds
to kind of register what it was.
It did stand out that
that unicorn was...
Well, it was white and horned.
If it were a brown horse,
you wouldn't care, but no.
It's a pure-white horse
with this pure-white horn.
It looks exactly like you
would expect a unicorn to look.
It seems pretty convincing,
and the reaction of the video
owner is pretty genuine.
I think I would have tried
to get up close to it
because unicorns
are known to be friendly.
I think that's one
of the very few cryptids
I would actually try
and get closer to.
Once I knew that we had
something, I said,
"come on. Let's go
and let's get a closer look."
so me and chris moved as quick
as possible to the elevator,
and then went down
couple floors,
and by the time we got outside,
he had gone.
When it comes to
the legend of the unicorn,
there is a lot
that comes behind it,
that the unicorn has
magical properties,
that its horn can cure,
that its horn can summon,
that its horn
can do so many things,
and that's why
it was sought after.
This is where you'd expect
unicorns to exist...
England and europe,
these enchanted forests.
James did post the video online
where it racked up
thousands of views
with many very excited by
the potential proof of unicorns.
It was something special.
It needed to be captured,
so it was definitely
important to film it.
I needed to get that evidence
that obviously...
While this video isn't
definitive proof
that unicorns exist,
it does raise questions,
and where there are questions,
there has to be follow-up.
Maybe someone will want to
follow up on this video and go,
"you know what? Let's see if
we can track down this unicorn."
you do see animals in nature
that do have horns
like the narwhal,
the unicorn of the sea.
You know, that's something
that we can go
and we can point to and go,
"yes, reality."
so why is it so far-fetched for
there to have been a unicorn?
James hasn't
seen the unicorn since,
but he still looks out
his window every day
hoping to catch another glimpse
of the elusive animal.
I'm just glad I looked out the
window at that moment in time.
We all know that unicorns
don't exist, or do they?
The legend had to have
come from somewhere.
Coming up...
...A case of school spirit
rattles a paranormal
investigator.
Manor farm
in southampton, England,
has been around
for over 600 years.
Originally used
as a working farm
which included housing
for the farmers
and a schoolroom
for their children,
it is now primarily
a petting zoo and museum
showcasing
what rural life was like.
Over the years, the staff
who maintain the property
say they'd witnessed
some poltergeist activity
and have spotted
the spirits of children
who attended the school.
After hearing these reports,
two brave souls decided
to investigate
the old schoolhouse themselves
and got a lesson
in the supernatural.
On February 10, 2019,
tony ferguson and his wife
gained access to the potentially
haunted schoolroom
so they could see for themselves
if the rumors of
ghostly activity were true.
My name is tony ferguson.
I went in there
and was just amazed
from the moment I got in there.
Straightaway, as soon as
you walk into the house
and the school, it just felt
like you're being watched.
This being an older school,
I'm sure that they had
generations of children
sitting at these desks
over the years,
so you've got a lot of energy
to draw off of.
I hated school.
I'm sure that I left
some nasty pieces of energy
at my middle school.
In an attempt to grab
the attention
of any potential
student entities,
tony tried using
a common schoolroom command.
...So I thought I'd try
and reenact being a teacher,
and, you know, was talking
to schoolchildren,
and you just felt, like,
a static thing
going around your body.
It was almost like the room
just came alive.
That's the best way
to describe it.
These investigators
are asking questions
that would pertain
to people in school,
so they're kind of putting
themselves in the environment
and trying to stir up activity
by being part
of whatever is there,
which is kind of the best way
to go about getting activity.
Tony didn't seem to be
having much luck, but then...
That's the door.
I actually point out behind me.
I heard a noise upstairs, and I
usually get a ringing in my ear.
There's the door.
He is asking for any spirits
in the room
to make themselves known,
and then we see the posters
on the wall sort of flutter,
and then the door
just closes on its own.
I probably would have freaked
out if that happened to me.
There's the door.
You just see me freeze
because I was almost like,
"okay, I wasn't expecting that."
you know, like, you don't.
For me, it was very loud.
It was right in my ear.
The takeaway from this
video is that he was very calm.
He didn't overreact.
He didn't jump.
He wasn't scared when
something happened
because in an investigation,
that's what you're there
to experience.
If he says, "hey, can you
make something move?
Can you close this door?"
and the door closes,
there shouldn't be a surprise.
That's what you asked for,
and it was being delivered.
And the door slams
really with a lot of force.
If it were a draft of some kind,
it would have to be
a wind-tunnel-quality draft
because it doesn't
just move slowly.
It slams.
And we tried to debunk it
whether it could be wind or...
There was nothing there.
We were in that room
for a large amount of time,
and with the actual force
it went,
I was stood there in shock.
It happened after he asked
the spirits to give him a sign.
Any children here?
Can you make a massive
banging noise, please?
I think that the spirits
in this room
were just answering
his question.
When I'm on an investigation,
I'll always say, you know,
"hey, if you don't want us here,
give us a sign or touch me
or open a door,"
and if something does happen
after that,
of course we will leave,
but to me in this clip,
I don't think the door
is indicative of,
"hey, I want you to stay,"
or "I want you to leave."
I think it's an easy way
for them
to bring attention
that they're there.
Tony was not disappointed
by what he found at the farm,
but he hopes to make
further contact
with the spirits he encountered.
I'd love to go back
because for me,
it's almost like
you build a story.
You build a connection
with these locations
the more you go back,
the more you interact
with the spirit,
and I think if I went back,
I'd probably get more evidence.
What should you do
in the event you witness
something paranormal?
Here are some tips
to get it all on camera.
Keep your eyes
and your camera on the skies.
Go to where the spirits are.
Never stop recording...
Oh, my god.
...Even when you're scared.
And if you do catch something,
and connect with us
on social media.
Your footage could be seen
right here
on "paranormal caught
on camera."
