Next on "Paranormal Caught On Camera"

push comes to shove between a man and a poltergeist.

Whatever activity is taking place in this guy's house,

seems to have some sort of intelligent control.

It may be trying to communicate

or at the very least trying to scare this guy.

An entity triggers a CCTV cam

then vanishes into thin air.

Look, he just disappeared.

I walked outside to see if he was down the road.

He was nowhere.

A shadowy figure forms on the staircase.

I've seen shadow forms like this before.

They're notoriously hard to pin down.

The fact that these got anything is something else.

And apparition appears during a walk through the woods

in North Carolina.

I've seen things manifest like this before

in broad daylight, outdoors.

Doesn't matter whether you investigate night or day.

If there's gonna be phenomena, it will happen.

And even more paranormal footage

you have to see to believe.

Moving from one home to another

is known to be one of the top stressors in life.

Usually that stress dissipates

soon after the boxes are unpacked

and people get adjusted to their new surroundings.

But for one man in Texas,

settling into his new house was extremely unsettling.

Not long after Corey Davison and his family

moved into their home in Houston,

Corey noticed a light fixture swaying,

as if someone had pushed it.

So he quickly grabbed a camera in hopes of documenting

the inexplicable activity.

I was in my dining room,

and the overhead lamp was moving.

And I went to get my camera

so I could videotape me eating

to see if would happen again, and as soon, like,

literally as soon as I hit record this happened.

My name's Corey Davison. This is my video.

I'm a huge skeptic when it comes to, like,

ghosts or paranormal stuff.

So I was like, "I have to record this, like,

try to get it on camera."

I had to have other people witness this.

When I set up the camera the chair

almost instantaneously moved maybe like a foot.

I wasn't looking at the chair when it happened.

I was setting up the camera.

Like, I heard the chair move.

I was already in that state of mind,

like, something weird is happening.

Like, is someone pranking me? What's going on?

And so I went over it,

I guess nonchalantly and just kind of pushed it.

And then all of a sudden...

...chair comes back at me.

Whatever activity is taking place in this guy's house,

it seems to have some sort of intelligent control.

The chair moves at him, rather than away from him.

And it does more than once in this enclosed environment.

It seems like it may be trying to communicate,

or at the very least, trying to scare this guy.

It seemed like he was ill prepared for that to happen.

So he walks up and he's like,

"What's going on with this chair?"

He's trying to see if there's, like, energy around.

He's, like, putting his arm in the atmosphere

around it to see if it will stir up anything.

He might've unknowingly threatened

the poltergeist or spirit

in that room by pushing that chair back like he did.

And it did seem as if that spirit

was reacting directly to that push.

This is poltergeist 101. They move chairs.

They open doors and sometimes they'll throw something,

you know, a kitchen utensils or something,

but they won't throw it very far.

This is all stuff that's within their wheelhouse,

and this is a great capture of it.

I have no idea how to explain what would have caused that.

So immediately I was like,

"I need to get the heck out of here."

Watching this video you might think,

"Okay, his reaction is comical."

But if you were in that situation,

you're gonna be freaked out.

Even if you're not terrified, you're going to be concerned.

You're gonna think, "All right. Something's here.

"What do I do about it? Let me remove myself

from this spot and then regroup."

It's the classic fight-or-flight response.

I had nothing to fight so I was, like,

I was kind of shaking, like, I guess I was scared.

I needed to get out of there.

I ran upstairs. I'm in the back room.

I'm kind of creeped out right now.

Thinking back now, I was, like,

I probably should have went outside and get away from there.

But I felt like upstairs was safe enough

and I could just -- I don't know.

After Corey's encounter in the dining room,

things quieted down for a while.

But less than a year later after moving yet again,

another eerie event happened

when his mom was doing laundry in the garage.

I was in the living room just hanging out,

and my mom thought someone was outside.

So she got me.

We both got our pistols

and went outside and didn't see anything.

I didn't hear anything.

Nothing that stood out to me as being, like, okay, whatever.

When Corey came back inside,

he checked to see if the motion activated security cameras

picked up something he may have missed.

And sure enough, they had.

So it took me forever to find

what might have made the noise.

But I looked through all the video's recordings,

and I come across that.

There's something moving,

and that was at 22:04.

And whenever she saw the thing, she came in the garage at 22:06.

The fact that they have footage to corroborate their claim

certainly lends some credibility to this particular case.

And the fact that she heard something strange

right when the motion-activated cameras kicked in,

that certainly tells me there may be something out

in that yard that's hard to explain.

If you look right there, right there.

I went out there, was looking at the places

that it should have been according to the camera,

and I didn't see anything, didn't hear anything.

See, I'm right here.

That's the top of my head,

and there's something walking back there.

I just can't explain it.

You see something on the camera,

but we didn't see anything when we were out there.

You can see me flash my light.

I had been flashing my light everywhere,

and see, there's nothing.

I didn't see anything while I was there.

And I just -- It kind of boggles my mind.

This apparition seems to be walking around the perimeter,

and even in areas where there's IR illumination,

it doesn't light up, like, you see Corey

when he's walking around his house.

You see the difference of a solid person

walking in front of an IR camera,

as opposed to this other entity

that seems to be going around the home.

Whether or not these two incidences

are related remains to be seen.

But his mom has a feeling the paranormal activity

happening around them might have something to do with her.

My mother has a couple of theories

about spirits being in our lives.

She had a brother who passed away at 10 days old.

She's always thought, like, he's just been around,

and part of me thinks that maybe it's my uncle

kind of pranking us.

You know, like, just always being around,

like, ha-ha, like, having fun with us.

You know, like, being a poltergeist

but not in an evil way.

Coming up, a father and daughter get spooked

at a popular paranormal site in North Carolina.

Oh, we definitely felt like we were being watched.

By the looks of it,

this unassuming plot of land in Bear Creek, North Carolina,

doesn't seem like much.

But the secluded spot has been spooking visitors

for more than a century.

Known as the "Devil's Tramping Ground,"

this barren circle is said to be where the devil comes to dance

and haunt all those who enter it.

Recently, a father and daughter team of ghost hunters

might have actually captured proof.

There's a legend that the devil rises from hell

and uses this circle as his own private thinking area,

and nothing grows in that area because his feet are so hot.

There actually were some studies done by soil scientists

to see why nothing was growing in that area.

They actually couldn't find a reason.

Since 1882, the 40-foot wide circle

has been at the center of paranormal lore,

attracting countless enthusiasts,

like Kevin Saunders and his daughter, Jade,

who visited the site in October of 2018.

I'm at the Devil's Tramping Ground in North Carolina.

And the legend is that the devil,

he would remove you from this circle,

and you'll wake up in the morning outside the circle.

Hello. My name is Kevin,

and I was the one that shot the video

at the Devil's Tramping Ground.

There's Jade.

My name is Jade Saunders, and I was there that day.

We've been ghost hunting for,

well, I've been doing it for about 16 years.

We weren't even ghost hunting at that time.

We just simply was recording walking around.

But as you can see, there have been people here recently.

What? Oh, God.

Isn't that weird?

Yeah, that's weird.

That's like the Jesus hands.

It looks they tried to burn it.

Yeah, these trees here, like this one over here,

somebody carved a cross on it.

The sap itself is like oozing down the tree,

makes it look really creepy.

In addition to creepy discoveries,

Kevin and Jade also felt on edge the entire time they were there.

I just felt like I was in a very big crowd.

I'm really claustrophobic anyways,

so I just felt like there's something sitting on my chest.

And I would say, "There's too many people around me,

but I'm in a very open spot, so I shouldn't feel like that."

Weird.

Anxiety levels were really high there.Yeah.

We definitely felt like we were being watched.

Oh, God.

Hello? Anybody out here?

As far as Kevin and Jade could tell,

there was no one else around that day.

But when they got home and reviewed the footage,

it seems they might not have been alone after all.

You see the daughter in frame.

He pans away, and for just a split second

you see in the tree line

in the background something moving.

First it looks bluish, whitish,

but it's definitely something that

when he pans back, it's not there anymore.

And it wasn't there before.

When he first arrived, we got a pretty good view

of what was around them,

so it wasn't a tree, it wasn't a sign.

Something was back there.

I see here what looks like a traditional capture

of a ghostlike mist in broad daylight.

It doesn't matter whether you investigate night or day.

If there's gonna be phenomena, it will happen.

I really like this clip.

It shows a classic capture that any paranormal investigator

would be really stoked to have.

And then I had my wife just kind of approve the video

before I posted it on YouTube,

and she was like, "What is that?"

And I was like, "Oh, my God. What is that?"

Of course, we were, like, high-fiving each other.

I'm like, "Finally after 16 years

I caught something on the camera."

16 years it took him to catch something.

That raises his credibility in my book.

And the fact that he is looking for corroboration

from other people,

rather than saying, "I know all the answers."

It's a smart thing to do,

and more people should investigate like that.

I think the fact that he didn't notice it

until reviewing the video,

that's a little bit of credibility in the respect

that he was just going about his business,

and oh, he captured something.

We believe it's a ghost, definitely.Yeah.

And he's just got so much movement.

The arms are swaying. The legs are moving.

I felt like it really just shows, like,

it takes form to something as it goes along.

After they posted the video on YouTube,

some viewers thought it could just be

a smoke cloud from a vape pen.

So Kevin and Jade returned to the Devil's Tramping Ground

in efforts to prove otherwise.

We're going to try and debunk this

because I'm trying to trick anybody.

I promise.

You know, a lot of people were saying,

"We might think it's a vape."

And we decided to see if we can just try it out and match it up.

Go ahead and puff off it, see what it does.

Yeah.

We don't think it was a vape at all.Yeah.

I mean, I know we can't get it exact,

but it's just too much movement to it.

I was sitting there recreating it over

and over with a vape to see if it could even resemble it,

and it just did not.

Both days, like, weren't windy or anything, so I don't know.

While Kevin and Jade may never know for certain

if they captured a ghost at the Devil's Tramping ground,

they agree that it's the most

compelling evidence they've seen yet.

Yeah, it was definitely the best capture we ever got.

Yeah, I would say that for sure we think it was definitely

one of the best videos that we have caught.

- Yeah. - We were just ecstatic about it.

Coming up, a family hike takes a frightening turn.

It really is there.

Since the late 1800s, tales of tall,

upright-walking ape-like creatures

have fueled the Bigfoot legend in North America.

And while the majority of accounts of the elusive

biped come from the northwestern part of the country,

a man from much further east

believes he may have spotted one in Ohio.

Surprisingly enough, the Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia area

is actually a Bigfoot hot spot.

There are sections along the Allegheny River,

the Ohio River, that have pockets of activity.

Salt Fork State Park, Wayne National Forest,

Chestnut Ridge in Pennsylvania,

all these places seem to harbor some sort of strange creature,

and there are a dozen or so reports out of each area

over the last several years.

Jeff Patterson was hiking with his family

through Wayne National Forest in southeastern Ohio

when they found some rocks stacked in a circle.

Interesting.

While this could have simply

been built for a campfire,

the lack of any charred remains points

to an entirely different purpose.

So rocks in a circular formation like in this video

are thought to be sign that Bigfoot has been there.

These rock formations are actually sometimes known as

"Sasquatch Stonehenge."

The question could be asked,

"Why would a Bigfoot make a rock formation of this type?"

There could be lots of different explanations.

It could be a marker,

navigational just so he knows where he's been.

It could be the demonstration of territory.

This is where I live.

This is a marker of my domain, stay out.

A little while later they came upon a waterfall,

and as Jeff was filming the serene site,

he captured something daunting in the distance.

My name is Jeff Patterson, and I shot this video.

We had hiked back up along a ridgeway

through these pine trees, and we came down in to a valley.

And at the bottom of this 100-foot gorge,

we were standing directly underneath a waterfall,

and I use my video camera

to go up to get the waterfall coming down.

I got back up the second time,

that's when I saw one going across the ridge.

What we see here seems to be some sort of humanoid entity

walking from right to left.

The camera seems to cut,

so we don't actually get a good look at what it is.

I don't know what else it could possibly be other than Bigfoot

or a very large human in a very sort of burly attire.

If it were a Bigfoot,

I'd like to be on higher ground if I ran into it.

I'd feel a little vulnerable if I was down where they are.

I wouldn't want thing thing to start pushing trees

down onto me.

But Jeff felt they were at a safe enough distance,

so he wasn't too worried.

It was a good ways away up

on the top of the ridge across from us.

I mean, there was a good amount of space between us.

I'm quite sure that we could have got out of there safely.

But if was walking through the woods somewhere

and this thing suddenly appeared right smack in front of me,

I would be scared.

This video is interesting

because this was not a squatcher.

This was not a Bigfoot hunter.

This was just somebody relaxing with their family

at a waterfall, and the camera is looking up,

"Hey, look at the beautiful water.

Look the -- Oh! Look up there! What's that?"

As far as Jeff is concerned,

he believes it was a Bigfoot, and he's not alone.

Sightings of sasquatch-like creatures

have been reported by Ohio residents since 1869,

and they even have a name for it.

They call it the Grassman.

Now it's said to be much smaller than

the sasquatch of the northwest, and it's certainly something

that these people seem to be proud of.

There's all kinds of museums and knickknacks

and that kind of thing you can find in that area.

So they definitely take their Grassman fairly seriously.

Whether Jeff captured a Grassman or a Bigfoot

that day remains to be seen.

And if there are any skeptics out there who think he didn't,

Jeff doesn't hold it against them.

If it was somebody else's stuff,

I wouldn't believe it.

It's something that you have to see yourself

to fully understand that it really is there.

Perched on the northeast coast of Florida

is the oldest city in the United States,

St. Augustine.

Established in 1565 by the Spaniards,

this quaint coastal city

is packed with history and hauntings.

I've investigated St. Augustine

quite a few times,

and I do believe it to be a hotbed of paranormal activity.

Not only were over 50,000 Native Americans

slaughtered there, but hundreds of years later in the 1800s,

there was a huge yellow fever outbreak

that killed thousands of European settlers.

That city is steeped in death.

For years, ghostly activity has been reported

throughout the historic city, from the Spanish fort,

where spirits of soldiers have been spotted

patrolling the grounds,

to the lighthouse near the spot on the salt run inlet,

where two young girls drowned in the late 1800s.

The St. Augustine lighthouse is not only

one of the most haunted lighthouses in the country,

but possibly the world as reports of knocking or footsteps

and even dark ghostly entity

peeking over the railing at visitors

when no one else should be in the building.

And not surprisingly,

there's been a plethora of paranormal activity

documented in the city's historic graveyards.

When you see cemeteries in St. Augustine,

there are tons of people buried there.

I mean, there are people buried on top of people.

In January 2019, Amanda and Aeryck De Sade

who regularly watch "Paranormal Caught On Camera"

were walking past the Tolomato Cemetery

when they captured this inexplicable entity on camera.

I'm Amanda De Sade.

And I am Aeryck De Sade.

And I saw a paranormal anomaly at the cemetery.

This floating blue orb appeared just two days

after a drunk driver plowed through the cemetery wall

and damaged the headstone of a boy who died in 1877.

I do tours in St. Augustine twice a nice,

pretty much every night of the week.

And so she came along with me on the tour that night

just to get some extra footage of the damage

that was done at the cemetery,

and when she walked across the street

to film the wide-angle shot of the damage of the cemetery

is when she actually got the video.

But no one else in the group noticed the orb

because it was only visible on the screen of Amanda's camera.

Not convinced of what she saw on the screen,

Amanda immediately checked her surroundings.

We normally debunk everything because I'm a super skeptic.

So I looked around to see

if there was like a laser pointer

or, you know, if anybody was doing anything.

But Amanda didn't find anything to account

for the hovering bright blue orb.

It's not lens flare. It's not a moth.

It's not a lightning bug.

It's not a laser pointer or anything you can see.

It's definitely free-form floating around.

If this was just a light

reflecting on the camera lens,

then it would have moved when the camera moves away,

but it doesn't.

It remains in the same spot

no matter where the camera is looking.

It's probably something else,

and probably something more mystical.

Aeryck and Amanda believe there is a connection

between the orb's appearance

and the damaged gravestone of the boy.

When we were looking at the video

where it kept going back and forth through the entrance

towards that little boy's grave in the front.

Well, if anything is going to disturb

the rest of a departed soul,

I would imagine a car plowing into the wall

and knocking over the tombstone would be a good start.

Certainly a violent act like that might be enough

to rattle somebody's eternal slumber.

And according to Aeryck,

this isn't the first time the child's spirit has surfaced.

There's a tree at the entrance and the boy died in the cemetery

by falling out of that tree.

So he's the only one that's buried right there

in the front of the cemetery like that.

And there are lots of sightings

based around the tree of the little boy.

From years of experience giving tours

in one of the nation's most haunted cities,

Aeryck has some advice on how to capture

paranormal activity of your own.

The more pictures you take, the more likely you are

to actually get some sort of evidence.

And we've gotten quite a few people on our tour

to get full body apparition pictures in the cemetery.

Coming up, a team of ghost hunters

makes the capture of a lifetime.

There's only way that went, and that's into the wall.

It's not all that uncommon for people

to pass away in their homes.

For the most part, houses with morbid histories

show no signs of residual energies.

But every so often,

a spirit of the deceased remains inside the residence,

and will make their presence known.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Okay.

Advice I have for every homeowner

is that people live and die,

and you're gonna always share your space with energies.

There's nothing to be fearful of.

In 2013, a man named Kevin Butcher was found dead

inside his home in Halstead, England.

His cause of death was unknown.

Since then, residents who've lived in Kevin's house

have reported hearing footsteps, seeing apparitions,

and have felt as though they were being watched.

In 2018, Jeff Young and Phil Bradshaw

from Ghost Tech Paranormal Investigators,

paid them a visit to see if they could

communicate with the spirit.

My name is Jeff Young.

We were called by the tenants of the property

to help them find out what was in their home.

Jeff and Phil began their investigation

by debriefing the previous and current tenants

about the hauntings.

It was about maybe three weeks when we first moved in.

I was sat in the kitchen.

I saw legs walk into the kitchen.

So it was just a bottom half?

Just the bottom half.

There's just noises all over the house, and sometimes I see,

well, I think I see things in the hall

like little -- somebody there.

But then I look away and there's nothing there.

After interviewing the tenants,

Jeff and Phil got to work

with an array of ghost hunting gear

including motion detector lights,

digital voice recorders, and four static cameras.

These investigators followed standard operating procedure

by setting up still cameras at every point they could,

even so that they overlap angles,

which is great because you can check the different angles

to make sure, "All right. We've got this covered."

It cannot be this or that.

And when it comes to paranormal investigating,

once you eliminate the impossible,

whatever remains however improbable must be the truth.

Kevin, the people that live here,

they've heard you and seen you.

Not long after the session began,

Phil and Jeff received a clue

that Kevin was willing to communicate

when a motion activated light was triggered.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Okay.

Motion detector lights are,

as some people in the field call them are REM-pods.

It's a sensor that picks up movement.

And they set up one of these pods inside of a room,

and they ask the energy, "Can you come forth

and let us know that you're here."

REM stands for radiating energy module.

Now this is an important tool in investigations

because sometimes a spirit

doesn't have enough energy to give you an EVP.

It can't touch you. It can't make anything move.

It can't drain the heat out of the air.

But the REM pods generate a field of EM energy.

When something crosses into it, it goes off.

It's a good tool because it doesn't require energy.

It just requires it to be inside the field.

And just because you die

and you're not here anymore.

It doesn't mean that you have to leave here.

I understand that.

From there,

it seemed Kevin was making his presence known.

Myself and Phil, we were upstairs turning out EVP work.

And as we were on the stairs, we heard this noise.

Whoa, movement downstairs.

Phil and Jeff went downstairs,

but nothing looked out of place.

So they reviewed the footage captured

by one of the static cameras hoping to get some answers.

You can see the door pop open,

and it's actually a solid lock.

When you push it, it actually clicks in.

You cannot open it.

You can jump on the stairs. You can jump on the hallway.

That door does not open.

Maybe that was Kevin's way of catching our attention

to let us know where he was.

It seems like whatever's there

has an intelligent sense of what's going on.

They know that investigators are there.

He's communicating with them.

So it seems like you have a pretty good haunt

going on there.

But perhaps the most compelling evidence

Phil and Jeff captured happened on the stairs itself.

- Movement on the stairs. - Okay.

We turned our cameras around.

I knew something was there.

But then of course on reviewing the static cams,

what we saw on the stairs was a form of an apparition,

and it gradually just materializes.

You could imagine that this is a spirit

that descends the staircase and stops on the landing,

almost as if to listen and observe what is going on.

And when they get too close,

that phantom just recedes back

to where it came from.

But you see the leg and the foot lift up,

and you can see the foot as it moves,

as it walks backwards.

There's only one way that went, and that's into the wall.

Early on during the investigation,

one of the young ladies actually mentioned

that she saw a pair of disembodied legs

walk through the kitchen.

I saw legs walk into the kitchen.

And when they captured that on the stairway,

I kind of shut up

and I knew exactly that this was legitimate activity.

It's an amazing piece of footage,

and we believe we did capture Kevin Butcher.

I've seen shadow forms like this before.

They're notoriously hard to pin down.

They're hard to see. They're hard to get on camera.

So the fact that these guys got anything, even a portion of it,

is something else.

When the investigation was over,

Jeff and Phil shared their findings with the tenants.

When they saw everything that we had captured,

I think that they were relieved.

I think they felt, maybe we're going to slightly nuts here.

We need some solid sort of proof,

and that's why they called us.

And I think we did give them all the proof that they needed.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Okay.

Coming up,

A convenience store employee freaks out

when things start flying off the shelves.

Closed-circuit television cameras

in convenience stores

are typically used to catch criminal activity,

like shoplifters or armed robbers.

But one security camera at a store in Minnesota

seemed to have nabbed something even more concerning

than a thief, something paranormal.

I'm a firm believer that activity can happen anywhere,

and why not a convenience store.

One night in 2017,

an employee working at the B-Dale Corner Store

and Gas Station in Roseville, Minnesota,

called his manager, Matt Murphy, to tell him he'd quit.

The next day when Matt showed up to open the store,

he found many items were displaced.

Assuming the ex-employee was to blame for the mess,

Matt went through the security footage from the night before.

It seems like this could be poltergeist activity.

At the very least, it's a spirit or entity

that wants to garner some attention from someone.

When the employee working that night

noticed the paranormal activity in the store,

he was so freaked out by it

that he took off running.

You see a kid walking down an aisle,

and then the kid runs out.

Then through the window,

you see him running across the parking lot

and he just got the hell out of there.

It didn't take long for the video

of the potential paranormal activity to gain some attention.

In this video, we see small movements.

And at first when I thought, "Okay, if a bag of potato chips

flies off of a shelf, maybe it was poorly stacked."

And then if another one falls, I think,

"Well, maybe there's a ceiling fan

or a vent that is blowing these things off of the shelf."

But when the freezer door opens, that takes a lot more force.

So there's something going on here

that's not just an errant draft that happens to be in the room.

There's something more to it than that.

After the poltergeist finished rearranging things,

the CCTV camera captured something even more alarming --

a spectral figure heading toward that area of the store.

You see this shadow form kind of walking down the aisle,

making a turn, and going out.

Now was he shopping?

Was he trying to do something else?

Was this residual or intelligent?

It's hard to tell, but you can definitely tell that

something was there by the wake left behind.

I love this footage because I can relate to the ghost.

What does a ghost want? They want snacks.

They want some beers.

Ghosts, they're just like us.

This curious capture left some unanswered questions

in it's wake, like who or what might be haunting

this specific convenience store, and why.

This is a place where people are in transit.

They stop in briefly.

They just live a very short part of their life

and then they move on to another thing.

Who knows, this convenience store

might have been the scene of a crime.

Maybe there was stickup at some point.

It certainly happens at these places that are open all night.

When it comes to any haunting,

one has to consider things

on a large scale first.

Is it the land?

If not the land, is it the building?

If not the building,

is the person or maybe even an item?

Now in trying to focus why a spirit

could be haunting a specific location,

maybe it's not because it's a convenience store.

It's maybe something that was there

before it was a convenience store

that was maybe causing the haunting.

As it turns out, this particular store

is conveniently located across the street from a funeral home,

so that might have something to do with it.

Regardless, there haven't been any more reports

of paranormal activity from the mini-mart since.

But should this spirit ever return,

there are ways to deal with it.

I suggest that they reach out to local clergy

or perhaps a ghost-hunting team.

See if they can't track down

who or what may be haunting the structure,

and devise a way to either get rid of it,

or encourage it to move on to somewhere else.

Coming up, a home security camera in Kentucky

picks up a phantom just passing through.

- Then he just disappears. - Weird.

The primary function of a home security camera

is to monitor what's happening outside the house

and make residents feel safe and secure.

But every so often,

they capture something that cannot be explained

making some homeowners more on edge than ever.

There's bound to be a big spike

in people catching paranormal activity.

I don't think more cameras or more eyeballs

on the environment are causing more paranormal activity.

I think this stuff is happening,

we've just got more eyeballs on the lookout for it.

In 2018, Amy Van Gundy from Arvada, Colorado,

noticed her motion-activated security camera

picked up a suspicious sphere

floating into her basement window.

About an hour later,

that same orb triggered her camera again as it left.

Orbs come in so many different shapes and sizes.

They emit all different types of energy.

In this clip, it looks like an orb

has manifested into some sort of, like, a smoky ectoplasm

and moves through walls.

A lot of skeptical people will say,

"Orbs are just dust or a fly."

But why would the security camera turn on?

A motion sensor security camera isn't gonna turn on

if it sees dust, isn't gonna turn on if it sees a fly.

It makes you wonder, like, what energy was around this orb

that triggered this camera to turn on in the first place?

About a year later, Natalie King from Austin, Texas,

noticed her nest cam capturing a black cat

walking by her front door.

The cat setting off her motion-activated camera

wasn't concerning, but the way it vanished into thin air was.

The cat's really interesting.

A lot of the times I've investigated places

and I've come across EVPs of dogs or cats or horses

when I've investigated stables, and it just goes to show you

that even animals

have spiritual energy that can manifest, too.

I have actually heard of a couple stories of people

who have witnessed things like this,

where they see a person or an animal clear as day,

and then all of a sudden they just sort of vanish,

like, they wipe away.

Maybe those are residual hauntings

where we see a moment of

when that person or animal was alive

just for that, like, brief moment of time.

Perhaps the most compelling evidence of

paranormal activity

captured on a home security camera

happened in Kentucky in 2017.

Ricky and Pam Carter were watching TV one night,

when they saw a figure appear on their surveillance camera.

- That's weird. - Then he just disappears.

I'm Pamela Carter.

- And... - I'm Ricky Carter.

This is the footage we caught on our security camera.

Weird.

Our security camera is right by our TV,

and I had looked at it, like, two or three minutes prior

and nothing was on there.

And then, like, it looked like something

just appeared out of nowhere. I was like, "Rick!"

I was like, "Look at that. We've got to rewind that."

And then he come over there,

and by that time the guy had already disappeared,

and I walked outside to see if he was down the road.

He was nowhere.

That's weird.

Then he just disappears.

What I love about this clip is, yeah,

DVRs are some of the best ways to capture phenomena.

It's a stationary camera.

There's no contamination of evidence.

There's nobody moving it around.

There's no strange light anomalies.

There's something that just shows up

and disappears right in front of this camera.

Yeah.

If he would have went between the houses,

our security camera would have picked him up,

and it just -- He was gone.

Then he just disappears.

There's a figure walking with purpose.

He's going somewhere.

He's hightailing it through the yard.

What caught my attention, I was like,

I told Rick, I was like, "Look, that man's marching."

I was like, "And he's going pretty fast,"

because he looked like he was, like, military or something.

If you look closely to this entity that's walking,

it's not walking like if it's walking on concrete.

Maybe there is a point in time where this wasn't a parking lot,

and it was just regular kind of like, gravelly ground.

If you look at his gait, he's kind of walking on

and stepping over things

that aren't there, which gives me the idea

that this is some sort of residual haunt

as opposed to an intelligent haunt.

Some skeptics suggest that it could be

the result of faulty equipment.

But the Carters are certain that's not the case.

Right around the time this happened,

the camera system was brand-new.Yeah.

Some people online was like,

"Well, it's fake because the DVR system's going out."

It wasn't that case.

We had literally just bought that like a month prior.

If it was really a trick of the camera

or some kind of flare or whatever,

then the cars in front would have disappeared, too.

But the cars stayed solid,

and whatever it was just kind of disappeared as it walked by.

In a final attempt to confirm

that it wasn't a trick of the camera,

Ricky went outside and walked past it.

I'm pretty skeptic on everything that happens so.

We've tried to duplicate it, debunk it as you would say.

It picked me up all the way going down the road

- and everything. - Yeah.

You could tell who he was and everything.

Pamela and Rick's security camera

hasn't picked up anything since,

but they'll never forget the spirit that once

strolled by their home.

It was a good catch.

It's like once in a lifetime thing, you know?
