"paranormal caught on camera"...
A ghostly spirit
takes to the skies...
People that arrive
at fatal auto accidents
often report seeing a mist
rise up into the sky.
...A mechanic
is visited by an angel...
Or is it a fairy?
It's an interesting clip.
It's has two long legs
like a human with wings.
Is there a howl
cryptid in the kentucky woods?
It's one of those sounds
that just
makes the hair
on your neck stand up.
Will this ghost hunter
survive...
...An attack?
As soon as he got too close.
Boom!
The ghost said,
"you're out of here, buddy.
This is my sanctuary."
Plus, even more paranormal
footage you have to see...
To believe.
The loire valley of France
is known
for its majestic castles
dating back centuries
that were once home to
the kings and queens of France.
But hidden in this region's
countryside lies a massive,
abandoned building
with a tortured past...
Filled with sorrow and pain.
When one young french man
and his sister dared
to venture inside this building,
they made a highly
unusual encounter
that would prove
incredibly dangerous...
...Because not only did
they see an entity...
...Twice...
...One of them
was also attacked.
In the spring of 2013...
...Jessy and his sister alex
set off to explore
this abandoned building
in beaumont-la-ronce, France.
Built in 1906,
this dilapidated building
once served as an orphanage,
a hospital and even a hospice.
People lived and died
on these premises,
and rumor has it...
It's haunted.
But before
they even step foot inside...
They hear something...
...A haunting wail.
Although clearly freaked out,
jessy convinces
his sister to enter.
The inside is equally terrifying
with visible signs
of creepiness everywhere.
My name is jessy.
I am from tours.
But the haunting
is just beginning.
Jessy and alex go back
to the front door...
...When they
suddenly see a figure.
Did you catch that?
It looks like the ghost
or shadow of a woman
dressed in period clothing.
We have a fully formed
human figure
with no detail whatsoever
other than the fact
that it is a well-formed,
completely solid,
black-shrouded figure,
very similar to the way
shadow figures
are always described.
Very rarely ghosts, you know,
appear as total human forms,
total, you know,
three-dimensional everything.
It's a very rare sighting.
You would see something
like this,
maybe 1 out of 2,000.
It's pretty remarkable.
But their curiosity
overcomes their fear
as the siblings go in pursuit
of the mysterious entity.
It's her again...
The woman in black.
But it's too late.
Jessy is determined.
Jessy!
Aah!
I've seen people touched,
pushed, pulled
by something...
An entity, a spirit...
And when you encounter that,
when you look at them,
they are not okay.
Typically, the blood is drained
from their face.
They look shaken.
They look changed.
Right before you get, you know,
hit or touched or whatever,
hair on your back stands up,
you get like a tingling feeling
or you get like a cold feeling,
or you just get some kind of
like, you know...
You know,
heaviness in your chest.
And then, you know,
all of a sudden
there's this weird thing
happens to you.
On occasion, investigators
will actually experience
something like
what this guy experienced.
It's some sort
of emotional shift.
It's not quite a possession, but
it'll drain you of your energy.
It'll put the thoughts
in your head
that don't have a reason
for being there...
Sadness, anger,
that kind of thing.
It basically
makes you shut down.
Now, a lot of times people
will leave the building
and within a couple hours
they're back to normal
and completely fine.
But this is something
that happens from time to time.
Jessy is dazed
but able to get himself up
and out of the building,
which at this point
is all both of them want to do.
When I watch this,
I think something
doesn't want you there.
Something wants to be left alone
in this structure.
However, the flip side
could also be true
that maybe it wants to interact
and this is the way
that it's trying to show,
"hey, I'm here. Let's talk."
it's hard to determine
whether or not
encounters like this gentleman
actually suffered
end up having long-term effects.
I can't tell you
one way or another,
but I can say
that allowing an outside entity
to control your thoughts
and emotions,
that can't be good
for you in any way.
So if it were me, I would try
to avoid these situations.
A part of that experience
can stay with you.
You can end up with some sort
of connection to another plane
or to the other side.
Or now you're doomed
and haunted forever.
Suffice it to say,
jessy and alex both learned
a valuable lesson that day.
Never underestimate
the power of the paranormal.
Coming up,
a voice from beyond...
...Cries for help.
Determined spirits
looking to deliver a message
will use any means necessary
to break through
and make contact
with the living world.
They move objects,
tamper with their surroundings,
appear as ghostly apparitions,
or if they're desperate enough,
they can even speak to us
through disembodied voices.
And that's exactly what happened
when one terrified
young mother of two
heard the inexplicable cry
of someone...
Or something...
Pleading for help.
In the summer of 2019,
houston resident
chelesie ilbery,
a mother of two,
was heading back into her house
carrying an armful of laundry
when a voice suddenly stopped
her dead in her tracks.
Did you catch that?
Listen again.
A tortured voice
seems to be begging for help.
Please help me!
Chelesie ilbery, houston, texas.
This video was shot at my home.
I heard it, like, so clearly
that it, like,
totally stunned me.
Like, it was almost like
a frozen feeling.
I stayed in that spot
and listened.
I was a little bit freaked out,
and I kind of waited
until I stopped
hearing anything.
Sounded like
somebody in duress...
Like they were physically hurt
and they needed somebody
to, like, rescue them
or assist them.
Chelesie sees no one around,
and that freaks her out.
So she goes back
inside her house
and reviews the footage
from her security camera
and confirms that she definitely
wasn't hearing things.
Terrified, she calls the police.
It freaked me out because I
have two babies in the house,
so I locked everything down
and put them in my room,
locked the door and waited
for the police to come.
They arrived minutes later.
...That I wasn't
just hearing something.
Chelesie plays the footage
for them.
I wanted him
to actually hear the audio,
so I put it up to his ear
so he could hear it better.
He did seem worried.
And he was the one
that was insistent
on checking the garage.
The officers
search the premises,
find no one, and leave.
This confirms chelesie's
worst fear...
That what she heard...
Please help me!
...Was a disembodied voice.
One of the more popular tropes
in paranormal investigating
is the disembodied voice,
which is essentially just
that... a voice without a body.
You'll hear "help me"
or "get out"
or something along those lines,
and there'll be no person,
no one around.
It's just a voice.
Could this have been a spirit
that was audibly trying
to contact this woman,
asking for help,
needing the recognition?
It's possible.
Whatever it was,
it upset her enough that
she actually called the police.
I don't think that's a thing
that most people do lightly.
She was genuinely concerned
for somebody's wellbeing.
Can hear somebody saying
something like that.
They come, they investigate.
They go, "okay.
Yeah. There's no one here."
once again, checking off
the boxes of the rational,
of the everyday,
getting closer and closer
and closer to an explanation.
And sometimes
that explanation is paranormal.
Please help me!
Chelesie has no idea who or what
was asking for help on that day.
But to her great relief...
Since the incident,
I haven't heard anything.
Nothing out of the normal.
No more voices.
I would love to know that
there's not a ghost in my house.
I've never experienced
anything paranormal before.
I'm kind of torn
in between believing it
and wanting to have, like,
a resolution,
an answer distinctly.
Please help me!
Please help!
Every year,
thousands of pedestrians die
as a result of being struck
by drivers at intersections.
Nearly 6,000 such deaths
occurred in 2017
in the u.S. Alone.
With such a shocking
number of fatalities
caused in this fashion,
it's plausible to think
that at least a few
of these unfortunate souls
might return
to the scene of the crime
before finally taking leave
of the earth for good.
Which is what might have been
happening at a crosswalk
in papua new guinea
when a cctv camera captured
this incredible footage.
It's 2019 in waigani,
port moresby, papua new guinea.
A 24-hour security camera
is recording traffic activity
at an intersection,
when suddenly...
...A ghostly figure appears,
begins moving across the street
and then floats up into the sky
and vanishes.
The obvious question...
Is this really a ghost?
And if so, what connection does
it have to this intersection?
You're seeing what looks like
an apparition of a human,
especially because it kind of
looks like it grows arms
as it's walking across.
And then all of a sudden it just
turns into this ball of light
and then flies into the sky.
It has that big torso shape
to it,
so this could almost be
the spirit of a person
that was k*lled
in that intersection...
A pedestrian or a person
in a car accident perhaps.
Its motion starts off
as kind of residual energy
and then just shoots off.
Maybe that is where
that person died.
Maybe that crosswalk, they were
hit by a car in that moment.
And where we see it ascending,
is it stuck in a loop?
In fact, in papua new guinea,
pedestrians make up
a staggering 29%
of traffic-related fatalities
due to a lack of sidewalks.
And the way in which
the spirit rises into the air
seems to coincide
with long-held beliefs
about what happens
in the moments after death.
People that arrive
at fatal auto accidents
often report seeing a mist
rise from the vehicle
and up into the sky,
almost as if the person
inside had died
and their soul
is leaving the body
and going toward the heavens.
A lot of people who have
a near-death experience claim
that they feel like their body
is being floated upward
and they're looking down
at themselves.
And I think that this experience
is the reason
why a lot of people believe
that there is a heaven
where our souls ascend to.
Could this spirit
be rising to heaven?
Or is it stuck
in a loop from hell?
It's interesting that
they actually would still have
this ability
to go back to this spot
and make it happen again
and again and again,
which makes me think maybe
they have no choice
but to be there and make
this happen again and again.
Maybe that is their own
version of hell.
Coming up, an orb gets
up close and personal.
Orbs...
Globes of light and energy
that spontaneously
appear on earth
with no simple explanation
as to why.
Thanks to advancements
in recording devices,
the prove that orbs exist
is stronger than ever.
Yet they remain deeply
shrouded in mystery.
What are they?
Why are they here?
And most importantly,
are they paranormal?
For one man,
his incredible experience
confirms the answer
to at least
one of those questions.
He swears they're
from another world
and he's got the footage
to prove it.
May of 2016,
auburn, california...
Paul parker
is sitting in his home
with a friend
watching a hockey game,
when in the corner of the room,
a large monitor
showing the live feed
of his home security camera
suddenly captures...
...A glowing round ball of light
floating across the air
in his backyard.
Could it be an orb?
Intrigued and creeped out,
paul musters the courage
to go outside and investigate
while he instructs his friend
to watch the monitor.
Here I come with the flashlight.
Though paul can't see the orb,
his friend assures him
it's still there.
And that's when paul
really got creeped out.
He's telling me
it's right in front of my face,
right above me,
and I seen
absolutely nothing at all.
My name's paul parker.
I'm from auburn, california,
and I shot this video.
It freaked me out when I was
outside with the flashlight
and I couldn't see anything
with my naked eye.
He was telling me that
it's right in front of my face,
now it's above my head.
So I knew there was something
there that I could not see,
you know,
and that got me kind of spooked.
But that's not all.
Although paul can't see
the orb, he can feel it.
He feels an energy in the air.
And paul is convinced
it's otherworldly.
I felt something.
I felt almost... I don't know
if it was a presence
or if it was me being spooked,
but I definitely felt something
that made the hair on
the back of my neck stand up.
This video is rare in the sense
that we actually get to see
the person filming it
interacting with this anomaly.
We get to see the person
actually physically
interacting with it.
And it's something that
he can't see with the naked eye.
And the feeling continues.
Each time paul's friend tells
him that the orb is near,
the energy intensifies.
I started feeling almost like
electrified or something.
With any type
of paranormal activity,
usually you will feel
a change in the atmosphere
around you.
Though paul had
never seen this orb before,
he had a feeling he might know
where or who it was coming from.
I lost about five or six people
in a very short
amount of time...
My friend eric, he was my
best friend of about 30 years,
my dad, my uncle bob...
So I really...
I have no idea.
You know, I can't say
for sure what it was,
but if it was spiritual,
I have a feeling
that it was either my dad,
my uncle
or my best friend, eric.
I felt like it was
getting personal with me.
There's a school of
thought that says that orbs
are often disembodied spirits.
If that's good enough for him,
then that's really not something
we can argue with,
whether we have
scientific proof or not.
The orb eventually disappeared,
and the feeling of electricity
as well.
Regardless of what it was,
one thing's for sure...
Paul is now a believer.
Some people think
I'm crazy when I share
this stuff with them.
But in all honesty,
I don't care.
I believe that these things
or maybe this realm
has been shown to me
throughout my life for a reason,
you know,
and maybe that reason is to
help other people to know
that there is another realm
besides this physical realm
that we tend to focus
our whole existence on.
When it comes
to the great orb debate...
Orbs, what are they?
Bugs, dust, moisture in the air
or spirits?
Depending on who you ask,
you're going to get
a varied answer.
And those on one side
are vehemently opposed
to those on the other side.
We have to remember
paranormal means
that is not currently defined
by scientific explanations.
So that means that
this could be a ghost
or an elemental
or something else entirely.
Coming up,
a ghostly vision
of a little girl.
There's a long-held belief
that animals are more sensitive
to spirits than people are.
If an evil entity is near,
an animal may suddenly become
protective of those around them.
If the entity
is not threatening,
the reaction can be
much different,
even playful.
Such was the case when two
pit bulls seem to be engaging
with someone
or something from beyond.
It's January 2017, and a couple
in san antonio, texas,
are making a video
of their two pit bulls
playing in the backyard.
The excitement of the dogs
hardly seems out
of the ordinary,
but it's unclear
what they are excited about.
Until a few moments later.
Did you catch that?
Look again closely...
...When a ghostly apparition
moves across the yard...
One that looks very much
like a little girl.
The man taking the video
claims his daughter
has seen the vision
of this little girl before,
but this is his first time.
And what's even more
remarkable is that
he seems to notice
the figure pass
as it's happening.
The person sh**ting the video
definitely saw whatever it was
because the camera follows it.
That wouldn't be the case if it
were a reflection on the lens.
We've all gotten
reflections on lenses.
We don't follow them around
like it's an actual object.
Capturing any
paranormal activity,
even with all
the cameras out there,
is still a very rare thing.
So it's really impressive
when you see
the animals reacting,
you see the image move
throughout the frame
and then you have the guy
reacting to that.
That kind of creates
a fascinating level
of potential evidence.
Always believe dogs.
If you want to know
if there's a ghost near you,
get a dog near you
because they'll tell you.
Dogs have no ego.
Dogs have no understanding
of hoaxes.
They only know
feeling and energy,
and their job is to protect you.
Their whole job is to make sure
that the air around you is safe.
So if they sense something,
believe your dog.
But if this is
the spirit of a little girl,
as the family believes,
why would she appear over
and over in this
particular time and place?
Now, I happen to think
that when children die,
I believe it's much more
possible for them to remain
for them to be stuck in limbo,
if you will,
simply because of confusion.
They don't know what to do,
where to go, that kind of thing.
It's often said that
when we see apparitions,
they are really
just repeating simple things
that they did in life
and they're reliving
that moment.
Perhaps the most
obvious answer has to do
with her two new playmates.
If it was a child spirit,
oftentimes they are playful.
They like to play.
They like to interact.
And a dog is the perfect partner
to interact with.
The family hasn't seen
the little girl
since the filming of this video,
but they continue
to keep a watchful eye out
for another encounter
that may provide more answers.
Oh, my god. Look, jennifer.
Coming up, is this the howl...
- Of a sasquatch?
- Dude, dude, dude.
Get him in the house.
Get him in the house.
Sasquatch...
Bigfoot...
The kentucky wild man...
These legendary cryptids taunt
us with occasional glimpses,
yet mostly remain
just out of sight.
Visual accounts of these large,
hairy ape-like creatures
are terrifying enough.
But the sounds they make
are truly
the stuff of nightmares.
For one kentucky family,
they believe
an unexplained, recurring howl
from the forest
behind their home
isn't just proof
of a paranormal creature...
It's a genuine threat
to their safety.
Dude, dude, dude.
Get him in the house.
Get him in the house.
Get him in the house.
It was the summer of 2019
in the rural town
of whitesburg, kentucky,
when shaun hammonds suddenly ran
out to his backyard in a panic.
He was hearing
that noise again...
A deep growl that's been
haunting his family for weeks.
I just let the dogs out, and
this happening again.
Dude, what?
Hmm.
Although shaun's lived
in this area
for most of his life...
Oh, yeah.
...He's never heard anything
quite like this until now.
What?
I don't know.
Shaun and his wife, megan,
are terrified.
Listen at that.
Oh, yeah.
Dude, dude, dude.
Get him in the house.
Get him in the house.
Get him in the house.
The hammondses are convinced
something is out there,
and they believe
that something has a name...
Bigfoot.
Listen at that.
We'd never heard
nothing like this.
This was out of the ordinary.
This was... this was
something different.
I just let the dogs out and
this happening again.
Dude.
We can't say 100% what it was.
It's just we both grew up
here in these mountains.
And, you know,
you're used to certain sounds,
especially certain
times of the year.
That was different.
It was not a sound
you're like, "oh, okay.
That's an elk
or it's a wildcat."
you know, that was different.
It's one of them sounds
that just makes the hair
on the back of your neck
stand up.
It's like, "ugh!"
it makes you think,
"where's my dogs?
I'm getting my child
in the house."
you know, that sound.
Dude, dude, dude.
Get him in the house.
Get him in the house,
get him in the house.
This footage is terrifying.
To be at home and presumably
safe in your home,
when the woods
surrounding you come alive
with this unexplainable
yelping and howling.
These are noises
that are typically associated
with sasquatch activity.
Listen. That's crazy.
From what I know
about bigfoot and sasquatch,
they have their own
forms of communication.
Like, they have their own
types of vocalization
that is particularly from them.
I think we're dealing
with something more
than what we thought.
But if this is bigfoot
or some other kind of cryptid,
why is it so close
to a populated area?
The hammondses think they know.
All this actually started when
they started doing some logging.
They started, you know,
up there,
and they tore the property up.
They started, you know, cutting
trees down, making new roads.
And then once that all started,
that's when all this started.
As mankind expands and builds
more roads and more towns
and more cities
and developments,
the natural world has to adjust.
And sometimes breeding grounds,
feeding areas have to move
and it becomes a problem.
So whatever is
making that sound,
if it didn't live there before,
maybe there's a reason
it's there now.
And although the hammondses
have never seen bigfoot,
they've heard tales
since they were kids.
There is tons of reports
and sightings
in eastern kentucky, ohio.
I mean, there's tons of them.
A lot of credible researchers
go investigate in kentucky
because apparently there are,
like, families of sasquatch
that live in the wildernesses
of kentucky.
I think we're dealing
with something more
than what we thought.
Whatever this creature was,
it appears to have moved on...
For now,
and that's just fine
with the hammondses.
It was a few weeks in spurts
and then it's just
nothing... been nothing.
Which I'm okay with.
God, that gives me chills.
Listen at that.
Coming up,
did this security camera
capture a fairy or an angel?
Few other entities bring up
stronger personal feelings
than angels.
And for those fortunate
enough to have seen them,
there is the belief
that the angels
are bringing
some message of goodwill.
One of those lucky people was
a guatemalan man named augusto
who believed he'd been visited
by one of these heavenly bodies
when he captured this...
On his repair shop
security camera.
But was this creature
really an angel
or something far more troubling?
April 8, 2014...
Augusto cuellar is working
at his auto repair shop
in san josé pinula, guatemala.
As he walks through the garage,
he senses an unusual energy
in the room...
A powerful force.
He doesn't see
anything at the time,
but the feelings are so strong
that he decides
to review the security camera
footage immediately.
That's when he sees...
This...
A tiny winged creature
flying around the garage,
a creature that augusto
believes to be an angel.
Or is it possible
that this small winged creature
is actually
something else entirely?
When I first saw this video,
of course, my mind
had to try to wrap itself around
what this thing was.
What could it be?
Was it dust? Was it a bug?
But the strange thing about it
was its motion...
How it just seems to
kind of pop around.
Now. This seemed to just be
vibrating in a spot.
You can see wings
and you see something
that appears like legs.
It's an interesting clip because
we get such a sort of sporadic
but very clear image
of what it is that's captured,
and what is captured, in form,
looks exactly like
your typical image of a fairy,
and a fairy really in the
tinker bell sense of the word.
It's very bright.
It's a very small sprite.
It has two long legs
like a human with wings.
So, it could be an
angel as augusto believes
or it could be a fairy.
Either way, all good, right?
Wrong.
There is a big difference
between the two.
So in the catholic description
of what an angel is,
angels are not humans.
They never were humans.
They sort of are
god's messengers.
And so they appear to humans
when they have a very
important life-changing message
that hey need to send.
Angels are almost always there
to give us hope
in a moment of darkness,
to give us a warning
or to help us.
And fairies...
Think less disney,
more brothers grimm.
There's an idea
of what a fairy is,
which is humanoid,
but also with wings
and then has... I mean,
according to different reports,
some people believe
they have like fangs
and are, you know,
very spooky creatures.
They like to cause problems.
And if you encounter them,
your best to avoid them
at all cost
rather than try to go
through them or work with them.
They're just
nasty little creatures.
If you're disrespectful,
if you don't acknowledge them,
they can be troublesome.
This might be some
of those poltergeists
or troublesome spirits
we see in common hauntings.
Fairies are
very strongly believed in
in places around
ireland and scotland.
They literally build highways
around fairy areas
so that as not to upset them
so that they
wouldn't cause any harm
to the people
of ireland or scotland.
Perhaps in the end
it has less to do with
what is being actually is
and more with what one wants
to believe it is.
It depends on your spirituality,
I guess...
Like whether you want to
believe in the angels
or you want
to believe in fairies.
One person's angel
is another person's fairy
is another culture's djinn
is another person's demon.
All these terms that
we're trying to lock down
to have a zoological
classification of spirit
is still very much
in its infancy.
But how can one describe
something unknown?
Whatever this creature is,
augusto hasn't seen it
since that day,
but he has all the evidence
he needs to confirm his belief
that what he felt was
the presence of angels.
And what does that mean for him?
What should you do in the event
you witness
something paranormal?
Here are some tips
to get it all on camera.
Listen carefully.
Get him in the house.
Get him in the house.
Pay attention to your pets.
Oh, my god. I got that.
Get as close
as humanly possible.
And if you do get something,
And connect with us
on social media.
Your footage could be seen
right here
on "paranormal
caught on camera."
