"Paranormal Caught On Camera"...

...a Siberian snow monster.

Whatever they saw
with their own eyes

was terrifying enough that,

"We don't want
any more to do with that."

...haunted hallways...

We've had a lot of people
contacting the school saying,

"Yes, that school is haunted
and has been haunted for years.

...aliens over Australia...

We might not even know
what's flying through the skies.

...dark omens...

I can't even begin to imagine
what it might be.

...combat zone chills...

I believe this ghost
is real because that soldier

has seen some stuff.

...and even more
paranormal footage

you have to see to believe.

Every day, countless videos
hit the Internet

from people around the globe
who believe they have witnessed

something outside the bounds
of our accepted reality.

As more and more cameras are
pointed at the world around us,

it is becoming clear there
is something else out there --

something...

paranormal.

For many people, just the
thought of school

sends a shiver down their spine.

But at one particular school
in the heart of Cork, Ireland,

there is much more to fear than
pop quizzes and late homework.

By day, Deerpark
Christian Brothers school

appears much like
any other grade school.

But it's another story
entirely once the sun goes down.

The building's dark secret

first revealed itself late
one night in October of 2017,

when a security camera captured
something seriously spooky.

Keep an eye on the doors
in the back.

This spirit was only
just getting started.

The mess left behind by the
ghost, or whatever it might be,

wasn't discovered by staff
until the next morning.

I'm Aaron Wolfe,
and I'm the deputy principal

of Deerpark CBS,
which is now known

as the world's
most haunted school.

It was a Monday, and the school
was actually closed,

so the principal
was in that day.

And when he went up
to the second floor,

he saw there was a disturbance.

A locker had been opened,

and there was papers
strewn across the floor.

So, during the summer, we had
just put in new CCTV cameras.

So I went back and looked
at the footage,

and I saw what is in the video.

We reviewed the footage
before and after,

and there's no evidence
of a setup.

Back in the early days
of paranormal investigation,

we didn't have a lot of
the tools that we have today.

Right now, there's a camera
everywhere.

Traffic cams, security cams
on buildings,

on loading docks,
on parking lots.

I'm seeing a lot more of these
"caught on film" hauntings.

As far as poltergeist activity,

that's the kind of stuff
that happens.

Doors will open and close hard,

things will get pushed off
the tables.

You know, if you have cameras
running 24 hours,

you're going to catch something.

Catch something they did,

and more than just once.

20 days after our initial video,

our cameras caught
another disturbance

in the hallway upstairs
on the third floor.

Keep an eye on the chair
behind the time and date stamp

in the security footage.

These videos are probably
the most convincing, believable,

and downright creepy videos
of a supernatural nature

that I think I've ever seen.

It seems like schools
are great places for a haunting

because, first of all,
you've got children there.

Children are more susceptible
to being haunted.

They haven't fully
closed off their minds yet

like most adults.

There may be
an even darker reason

for why this spirit chose
this school in particular.

It's the oldest school
in Cork city --

it's 190 years old.

And Deerpark CBS is built
where English used to hang

Irish peasants
for various crimes.

In fact, until the late 1800s,

at least several dozen men
and women were hung or burned

at this very gallows site --

often for dubious charges
against the crown.

A mass grave, believed to hold
the bodies of those executed

was even discovered back in 1990

near where the school
now stands.

Could one of these lost souls

now be roaming
the halls of Deerpark?

Spirit activity,
poltergeist activity,

is usually really common
when it's built on a place

where there's a lot of death,
a lot of tragedy.

So what's probably happening
is the energy from the people

that have died, it's still
lingering there in the school.

And so it's moving things
around,

just trying to get
people's attention.

Deerpark CBS does have a history
of the paranormal.

We've had a lot of people
contacting the school saying,

"Yes, that school is haunted
and has been haunted for years."

The staff in the school have
always complained of cold spots

in the school,
and a feeling of being watched.

The staff suspicions
were finally founded

because this footage
caught the attention

of the entire world
thanks to countless headlines

and millions of Internet views.

To this day, if it is a prank,

no one has come forward and say
they have set up the prank.

The footage has tried
to be debunked

by different groups and experts,

but no one's been able to say
there are strings

or that there's
a green screen used.

It's been amazing.

The boys of the school
are actually quite proud

of the notoriety of being

the most haunted school
in the world.

However, they don't want
to be here at night time.

Deep in the snowy
back roads of Siberia,

near the Ural Mountains,

two Russian travelers
were returning from a climb

back in 2016
when they suddenly encountered

a mysterious creature
crossing the road.

Most people probably wouldn't
believe what the pair saw

if they told them,
but lucky for these two,

the car's dashboard camera
can't lie.

Did you catch it?

Does it look...familiar?

It runs like a biped.

It's not a deer or an elk
or something like that.

So what bipedal creatures
are there in Russia?

We know there are men, and then
we think there might be yetis.

It runs like a man.
It's hairy like a yeti.

Whether you call it
yeti, Bigfoot, Sasquatch,

or as it is often known
in Russia, Almas,

this sighting quickly
went viral around the globe.

When I talk to Bigfooters,

some of them believe that
Bigfoot can move so quickly,

it can fell giant game --

like, big game animals
by running after them.

So they say that they can move
quite quickly.

Although, you know, typically,
all the videos we've seen,

they've been sort of meandering.

Just sort of sauntering.

So this is the fastest
I've ever seen one move.

If you look closely,

it seems that you can
see long flowing hair

coming off the arms and legs

as it runs across the road
kicking up snow behind it.

I can't tell if it's gray
or a light brown color,

but I would say if it's
a light brown color,

it definitely lends
to the credence of the sighting.

Contrary to popular belief,

the yeti is not
actually white or gray.

It's reported to be a brown
color,

and sometimes a dark brown,
even black.

Fortunately,
like many Russian motorists,

the driver had his dash cam
recording the whole time.

Leave it to the Russians
to get this footage.

They put dash cams
on everything,

which is great when
you're watching road rage videos

on You Tube, and it's also great

when we're trying to find
cryptids.

It looks compelling to me.

Now, the Russians,
they're an interesting people.

Can we trust 'em?
I don't know.

But does this footage look good?
It absolutely does.

This video seemed to have
an air of credibility to me.

These guys were not trying
to find Bigfoot,

they were not trying to film
something supernatural.

And as they stop the car,

nobody got out,
nobody followed it,

so to them, whatever they saw
with their own eyes

was terrifying enough that,

"We don't want any more to do
with that."

Coming up...

UFOs down under

and a legendary sea creature

breaks the ice.

Australia has long
been home to a number of species

that may seem alien
to the rest of the world.

So perhaps the land down under
is the perfect place

for any real aliens
visiting Earth to blend in.

This might explain why in 2018,

one local resident spotted
something in the skies

that even the biggest
UFO skeptics

have trouble explaining.

Stunned at the sight
of whatever was flying overhead.

The driver managed to pull over
and grab her phone in time

to capture it before it
disappeared into the distance.

My name is June,
I live in Melbourne, Australia.

Me and my mom have seen
this strange object before,

but we didn't have a chance
to take a video of it.

So when I saw this again,

I pulled my car over
and took a video.

When I saw it,
it was very, very far.

Just, like, a dot in the sky,
and then it's coming towards me.

It's a round-shape object,
and it's very big.

So I saw it and was like,
"Oh, really?

Yeah, that's a real UFO."

So the object in question here
is a black, saucer-shaped item

that goes from left
to right in the video.

And it appears to be in the sky
and an actual object.

And it definitely falls in line
with some prior UFO reports

that have come in
over the years.

It looks smaller in the video,

but in person, if you see it,

it looks bigger
than a domestic airplane.

A lot of people are saying,
"Oh, it's not a real UFO,

it's just maybe an airplane
or it's a drone."

But I don't really think
it's a drone,

'cause it's very big
to be a drone.

I felt when I saw
this video that,

"Yeah, they captured something

that they weren't
supposed to see."

It's one of those just
one-in-a-million moments

that the average person
wouldn't have been able

to do so smoothly.

My husband works in that area.

When he showed this video
to his colleagues,

they said they've got
stories about that.

That there's a lot of people
seeing UFOs, as well.

It is pretty remote.

There's, like,
a lot of farms there.

Like, a countryside area.

There are certain places
in Australia that seem to have

more than their fair share
of unusual activity.

And of course, it requires
people for reporting,

so truly isolated places where
there are very few individuals,

we might not even know
what's flying through the skies.

There's 2.5 million miles
of Australian Outback.

I'm not even sure how this UFO
got spotted.

Definitely took a wrong
turn somewhere.

If we could just get kangaroos
to talk,

then we would have a lot
of information on how many UFOs

are actually over Australia
at any given time.

I've always believed in aliens,

so seeing this is just
a confirmation for me.

Chills come easily
to those living in Iceland,

and not just because
of the frozen temperatures.

This Nordic island nation
is supposedly home

to a number
of mythic creatures --

not least of which
is the Lagarfljót Worm.

Multiple sightings of this
beastly serpent

are reported as far back
as the 14th century AD.

Legends say it could grow
to hundreds of feet,

rising from the water higher
than the sail of a great ship.

It is also said to emit
venomous fumes,

and portents great misfortune
for anyone

who happens to lay eyes on it.

So it's no wonder then that
the people of Iceland

would go so far as to set up

an official government
commission

to find out once and for all if
this monster is truly out there.

One person my have
finally done just that.

This footage set off a frenzy

when it was captured back
in 2012 by a local man.

Iceland is a hotspot
for a lot of folklore.

I mean, they've got elves,
they've got trolls,

they have all sorts
of mythical creatures,

and some of them believe
that they're really real.

So it doesn't surprise me
that if you see this creature,

that you might be like,
"You know what?

That right there is
a Lagarfljót Worm.

Definitely. Absolutely.

As the icy river
rushed past, the creature,

or whatever it was,

wound it's way through the
frigid water with alarming ease.

At times, it appeared
like a serpent-like head

was poking out of the water.

There have been thousands
of sightings over the years.

Now this particular video
is very interesting

'cause it certainly seems
to show something living

in the water there.

That is really
a very curious animal.

First of all, it's in icy water,

not the environment you would
expect to see a sea serpent

or anything reptilian --
they're cold-blooded.

The plot thickened
as six months later,

the same man again spotted
something in the water

near the very same location --
albeit with a lot less ice.

When these videos
hit the Internet,

some were skeptical
that the footage

showed the Lagarfljót Worm,

or even something living at all.

When I first looked
at the video,

I had to study it for a while.

When I looked at it back,
and back, and back,

it looks like
something inanimate.

I don't really think
it's a real creature.

it just didn't move
the way it should.

The second video shows
almost exactly

what we saw in the first.

The length looks the same,
the width looks the same,

and it even appears to be
the same location.

Information like that makes me
wonder whether or not

it's actually real, or in fact,

a piece of frozen rope that's
being pulled by the current.

But the fact that both creatures
seem identical

definitely helps the case a bit.

As this footage
continued to be debated

by viewers around the world,

The government commission
designated to learning the truth

about this Icelandic cryptid
finally decided, in 2014,

to weigh in on the footage.

The panel of 13 members
from east Iceland

studied this videos.

And in a vote of 7-6,

the majority deemed this footage
to, in fact,

be actual evidence
of the mythic Lagarfljót Worm,

thus certifying the credibility
of these sightings.

This footage has
actually been deemed credible

by an independent commission,

which is extremely rare when it
comes to cryptid hunting.

If I'm hunting cryptids,
I am going to Iceland.

The people are great,
the weather's a little cold,

but my God, are you going to
get some good footage.

Coming up...

The search for spirits
at a haunted castle.

For centuries,
the many castles of England

have outlasted
the countless lives

that once walked their cold,
dark corridors.

The untold stories of those
who lived and worked inside

often hang between
the stone walls

as barely audible whispers never
to be passed on to the living.

But every now and then,
the dead come screaming back,

looking to tell their tale to
those who are willing to listen.

In 2018, a brave investigator
at a fortress

on the Southern coast of England

was rewarded
just such an opportunity.

Hurst Castle, commissioned
by Henry the VIII,

was completed in 1544

on a remote tip
of England's shoreline

to ward off invasions
through the strait

between the mainland
and the Isle of Wight.

Besides those manning the
garrisons through harsh winters

and constant threat of attack,

the castle was, at times, also
home to prisoners, smugglers,

and the unlucky wounded
brought to Hurst

when it was used as
a makeshift military hospital.

One fearless ghost hunter
has made frequent visits

to the basements
of this landmark

to find any number
of those souls

who could still be haunting

those very same
passageways today.

My name's Tony Ferguson.

I'm a paranormal investigator
from Southampton, England.

It's very dark
and dingy in there.

There's no lighting.

So without a night-vision
camera,

you won't pick up anything
on a normal camera.

On this particular day,
I was in the castle

for on about two
and a half hours.

Each location that I went to,

you could feel
the energy building up.

I knew straightaway
that I was being followed.

So, usually
with castle hauntings,

people will usually
see apparitions

of the former residents
of the castle.

Like, they'll just
appear randomly

when you're not expecting it.

There's hundreds
of years of political intrigue

where people have suffered
betrayal, torment, arrest.

Every castle has a dungeon
or a prison

where people are incarcerated,
abused, they died.

That results in residual
hauntings --

that is re-enactments of things

that have taken place
in the past.

As I called out, this mist
just came out of nowhere,

past the window, towards me.

I felt it, like, an air pressure
go past me,

and I knew straightaway
that there was something there.

It's a very common technique to kind of speak into the dark.

You're asking questions
to kind of stir up activity

or to get some sort of response.

The idea behind that is
to get answers

into who might be there
haunting the location.

The mist was pretty compelling.

It seems like mist is what most
ghost hunters get on camera.

I don't know how it ever forms
back into a ghost,

but I guess that's just
how they travel.

And quite frankly, I'm jealous.

But Tony was after more

than just the appearance
of a mist.

Suddenly,

Tony got even more
than he could have asked for.

To my naked eye, what
I saw was basically a figure --

just over four foot tall, old
clothing, weird-looking eyes.

It was almost like the eyes
were drawn out.

They weren't there.

When you're an investigator,
this is what you want.

This is what you're going for.

This is what you're hoping
will happen to you.

What he picked up
on camera is pretty amazing.

Did he pick up on an apparition

of some kind of
intelligent consciousness

that survived
its own bodily death?

It's certainly something
that would pique my interest

and would keep me
going back there for more.

From where I saw the spirit,

you couldn't get behind
the actual window.

The tunnels are too small,
too thin for any human

to actually fit through.

There's no way possible a person
could fit through there

and move as freely
as that spirit did.

So, it validated, for me,
what I saw was a spirit.

Apparitions tend to move
in different ways

than a real person does.

They glide, they float, they
dematerialize and rematerialize.

That being said, however,

there's always an exception
to the rule.

And I have collected cases
from eyewitnesses

where they have seen
some sort of phantom figure

looking very three-dimensional,

and they have no way
to account for it.

So, could
this fully-formed specter

have been the ghost of a former
Hurst Castle resident,

whether willing or unwilling?

I've spoke to a few
of the maintenance guys,

and they said
they've seen a few things.

If it's happening
quite frequently,

it just shows that
there is something there

that's trying to get
their attention.

There was a lot of activity
down below in the basement,

where they may have
locked people down prisoners.

There's a lot
that's not been recorded.

So, anything that's happened
down there, no one would know.

So, if I do go back
in the future,

I'm going to try
different methods to help them

do as much as possible
to get their story across.

Coming up...

...mysterious lights
over London...

...and a soldier gets
seriously spooked.

Fear is a part
of everyday life

for soldiers serving
in harm's way.

But in 2010,
one United States Army reservist

stationed at Camp Adder base,
hours outside Baghdad, Iraq,

experienced something
no amount of training

could ever prepare him for.

So, this my first video log.

I'm just kind of giving
a shoutout back home,

letting everybody know
I love them, I miss them.

I really, really,
really miss home.

I hate being here.

Trish, I love you.

I wish I could be home
with you, too.

Keep an eye on the bed.

I know -- I know --

One of the categories of videos

that we have been seeing
a lot more of lately

is the accidental capture.

A video is being shot
for a reason

other than trying to demonstrate
activity.

I'm Steven Crane.
I'm the one that took the video.

Well, that night,
I woke up about 3:00 a.m.,

and we were getting ready to
go out on a mission to Baghdad.

I had been on several missions,

and this was the only one

where I felt like something
was going to go wrong,

so I decided I was going to
set up the camera on my laptop

and send back a video
to my family.

And while I'm trying
to record myself,

I heard a whisper
on my left side.

It creeped me out.

And then, as I turned to look,
the locker just flung open.

And I'm really skeptical,

so I got up
to kind of investigate.

I thought maybe one of guys
were messing with me.

Something was messing with him,

but not his fellow soldiers.

He sees something
that we don't see,

and it runs him out of the room.
I think the reaction was legit.

He was, I believe,
acting honestly.

And the phenomena that you see
is all in line

with what I believe
poltergeist activity is.

I believe this ghost is real

because that soldier
has seen some stuff.

I mean, just living with
a hundred dudes

in a barracks is horrifying,

so the fact that he reacted
the way that he did,

he must have felt something.

Steven
didn't just feel something.

He saw something.

As I look around the room,

I seen, like,
a silhouette of something.

It wasn't a human.

It was kind of light,
but dark at the same time.

Really, really hard to explain.

But as soon as I saw it,

my immediate reaction
was just to bolt.

I bolted out and went
straight to my commander

and let him know, "Hey, I got
to be moved out of this room.

Something's going on in there.

There's something's there that's
not supposed to be there."

Turns out that
Steven's paranormal encounter

may be more common
than he realized.

In the Middle East,
there are very strong beliefs

about the presence of entities
on the landscape,

and they're known
by the name of Jinn.

These are beings who live
in a parallel reality to ours

and have the capability of
interacting with human beings.

They are pestering entities,
in many cases.

They can create
poltergeist effects,

they look about places
in tall, shadowy forms

that look very human-like.

I have a lot of friends
who have been deployed,

who have been into
forward areas,

who have been in bases
across the world,

and they do tell me
that things happen.

You don't hear about it
on the news,

but when you talk to a soldier
one-on-one,

as a person, yeah, they've got
a lot of stories to tell.

After showing my roommate
what had happened,

he also let me know that he
has experienced a few things

while sleeping in the same room.

He felt like somebody was
hovering over him in his sleep.

I have no doubt that the room

had something paranormal
living inside of it.

It didn't belong there,
and it didn't want me there.

As far back as 1950,

the British Ministry of Defence
had a desk dedicated

to investigating UFO activity

in the United Kingdom, according

to recently declassified
government documents.

They went so far as to set up
a hotline for the public

to report UFO activity
in Great Britain.

At times, those assigned
to the desk

could not handle
the number of reports coming in.

After more than 12,000 sightings
flooded the office,

the hotline was disconnected in
2008 in sweeping budget cuts.

The phone may be dead,

but the rash of UFO sightings
in the skies over England

is very much alive.

We do have waves
and flaps that go on,

where it seems like
a certain geographic area

gets an intense amount
of frequent activity

in a specific period of time,

and London certainly has had
its waves of activity.

A lot of UFO sightings
happen at night.

So, I got to give whatever
the heck this thing is credit

for showing its little orb
during the day.

Really, these aliens
are getting kind of cocky.

This lone craft
may have been brazen,

but not as much
as a fleet of UFOs spotted

over the BBC Radio
building back in 2011,

which managed to grab the
attention of confused Londoners

on the street below.

The shooter of this video
says he had seen these lights

in the sky for a week

before he was able to
finally capture them on camera.

Seeing these videos made me
feel like I was in a movie

and the invasion
was just starting,

and the public is just stopped
on the street,

dead in their tracks,
looking up to the sky going,

"What is that?"

They weren't going
in an aligned pattern,

so you know they weren't jets.

They were kind of scattered
all over.

What really caught my attention
was the disc-shaped object

that kind of hovered a bit
and fluttered into the clouds.

That was very strange.

Was there something
about the BBC Radio building

attracting
these strange objects?

It's very possible,

because they showed up
once again a week later.

The thing that was
interesting about this video

is that it was taking place
in a very populated city

in the middle of the day.

Often you see these videos
out in the dessert,

out in the country,

but this was happening right
in broad daylight over London.

I'm actually
pretty impressed

with how clear this is.

I mean, obviously our cameras

have advanced greatly
over the past couple of years,

so we're really being able
to see this stuff.

Back in the day, all UFO footage
was extremely grainy.

You could never really see
what the heck it was.

But we're getting more
and more proof on a daily basis

that UFOs are out there.

No official
explanation was given

for this rash of UFO sightings,

but it just might be time
for England

to reactivate that UFO hotline.

Coming up...

...the mystery of Gravity Hill.

On the edge
of the San Fernando Valley,

there is a road the calls out
to paranormal thrill seekers.

While it looks unassuming,

those brave enough to
give in to its power

are rewarded with an experience

that may warp
their very reality.

Venture if you dare
to Gravity Hill.

But be warned, some say
the force behind this phenomenon

could be supernatural.

Three tourists
ventured to Gravity Hill

in Sylmar, California,

which holds a similar secret

to mysterious spots
all across the country.

We've done 40 books
on almost all of the States,

and it is one of the most common

sort of paranormal
"attractions," if you will,

throughout the country.

These are not just
passing legends.

Usually with the Gravity Hills,

there's a line that says
"Stop here."

You know, you put your car
in neutral,

and then it'll slowly
pull you back up the hill.

Hi. My name's Pete.

In January, 2017,
I was visiting Los Angeles

to see my brother
and his girlfriend, Alex.

She knew a lot about
this particular area

called Gravity Hill.

It was a last-minute decision
to drive there.

My brother decided to film
along the way.

There were some really, really
creepy things surrounding it.

It was almost like
this particular area

was caught in the past.

It was like it hadn't been
touched for 50 years.

It's very strange.

So, when we arrived
at Gravity Hill,

the first thing
that we had in mind to do

was see
if it was actually a hill.

Confirming the road was,
in fact,

pitched up,
they threw the car in neutral

and let gravity take over...

one way or another.

Okay, slow down.

Slow down!
I'm trying to get in.

When the car started
rolling forward,

I had to check to make sure
it was in neutral

'cause it did feel
very strange.

From where I was sitting
in the back seat of the car

looking straight ahead,

it looks like a hill
in front of you,

like, clear as day.

Like, that's a hill.

- We got momentum, captain.
- Oh, wow.

- Is it getting faster?
- Yeah.

We gained momentum very,
very quickly,

which didn't seem
to make sense,

because all of a sudden
we were going what's about

10, 15 miles per hour.

It just seemed like we were
rolling down a hill

but back to the spirit level,
it's clearly up hill,

so I can't explain it.

It was just very strange.

What a mind trip that is.

Your eyes tell you one thing,

but then the way the environment
reacts is something else,

and that is a very,
very astute thing to notice

when it comes
to paranormal phenomena,

because what your eyes translate
doesn't necessarily mean

that that's what's really
happening in your environment.

So, when we reached all the way
to the top of the hill

at the stop sign,

the momentum was just
pushing us faster and faster.

We had to sort of slam
on the brakes

to come to a complete stop.

It caught me off guard.

When these three
finally pulled over,

they noticed something
that may explain

how their car
seemed to move uphill.

Alex just sort of
walked around to the car,

and she saw the handprints
on the back.

She thought I had done it,

and I thought my brother
had done it,

and my brother
thought she'd done it.

Thinking back on it,
it was very, very strange

and very creepy.

There's a cemetery,
by the way,

right nearby this Gravity Hill.

And there was one urban legend

that kids buried
in that cemetery

died on that road
in a bus crash.

and they were pushing
your car up the hill.

The back having the handprints,

now that was pretty creepy.

Apparently, a bunch of ghost
kids push your car uphill,

which is like the nicest thing
a ghost could do.

It saves you gas,
it really helps you out.

Almost every state
has a Gravity Hill.

And the weird thing about them
is they almost always

have the same story.

Still to this day,

the handprints on the back
of the car are still a mystery.

I'm not sure about the other
Gravity Hills

there are out there,
but the one we went to,

there was certainly
something supernatural about it.

Coming up, strange rings
invade the skies.

Across the globe,
a strange phenomenon

has been appearing overhead
and baffling those lucky enough,

or perhaps unlucky enough,
to film it.

From Texas to Argentina
to Kazakhstan,

sightings have grown more
and more frequent.

Is there a connection?

Is there a pattern?

Is there a message?

Whatever it is,
there are plenty of witnesses.

This black ring was filmed over
a park in the town of Windsor

in Berkshire, England,
in May of 2017.

Another was spotted over Quebec
in September of 2018.

One was even spotted

over the happiest place
on Earth back in 2016.

This ring boggles my mind.

I want to know what it is.

It's not some sort
of spacecraft.

Is it some sort of weather
anomaly?

I don't know.
Why is it, like, charcoal black?

This doesn't make sense to me.

The fact that it is seen
in so many places,

yet almost always looks
exactly the same

is a tremendous mystery.

I first thought, "Well,
maybe it's some sort

of weird formation of birds."

But it definitely
doesn't seem to be that.

It doesn't seem to be
a constructed object.

It's too sort of amorphous
for that.

As I was watching this,
I'm not sure if it's an alien.

I would be freaked out
if I saw in the sky.

I feel like I've seen
a lot on video.

I've seen a lot presented to me
that seems fantastic.

This I've never seen before.

The videos certainly
look harrowing,

but what is it like to witness
one of these things in person?

My name's Kyle Hawkins.

I'm the one that recorded
the video

with the black ring
above Disney Land.

It was a normal day.

I was there with my family --
my wife and two kids.

And all of a sudden,
everyone kind of started

stopping and looking up
and pointing

in the direction
towards the black ring.

So, I immediately just grabbed
my phone, started recording,

because it was honestly
the strangest thing,

like, I'd ever seen.

You know, in terms of scale,
like,

it was as big as an airplane

that's just kind of
right above you.

It looked like there were
lots of little bugs

floating around the edges
of the ring.

I'm not one to buy into these
paranormal sort of things,

but I really thought that, like,

the world was going to end
at that moment

because it was so creepy
and scary.

I've been to Disney Land
multiple times.

I've never seen anything
like that before,

and I haven't seen
anything like that since.

You know, seeing videos
of other people's rings

haven't made me feel any better
about the situation

or about what I saw.

I think, on every one
of these videos,

people are trying
to explain it

as a military drill
or this or that.

But I haven't found anything
that's 100% convincing

of what I saw and what I felt
in that moment.

As sightings
of these rings

have piled up around the world,

people have offered all kinds
of theories about their origins,

from signs of
the coming apocalypse

to more reasonable
explanations.

So, I've seen this in person,
and that looks like it

potentially was
a portal to hell,

but it actually can be
very easily explained.

I go to Burning Man every year.

And the first year I went,
I remember looking up

and seeing this giant
black ring of smoke in the sky

and thinking,
"What the hell is that?"

Basically, what they do is
they have this circle of metal

and they light it on fire,

and they're able to blow air
up through it, basically,

and make this giant kind of
like a smoke ring,

and they can move.

And they do look ominous,

but they can be very much
explained by science.

Okay, sure, some
can be explained by science.

But these can't all be coming
from pyromaniacs

in the desert, right?

- What the is this?
- Right?

That's it for this edition of
"Paranormal Caught on Camera."

If you see something strange,
creepy, or downright terrifying,

remember these
three simple rules --

Keep the camera steady,
keep the camera rolling,

and always brake for Sasquatch.

Then, you just may have
something paranormal

caught on camera.
