Next on "Paranormal Caught on Camera"...

...three boys in Indiana...

...spot an ape-like figure in the woods...

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. What is that?

...a ghost hunter gets spooked in an abandoned church.

Make it move.

What in the world?

I believe the reason why all this happens

is because of the fact that I'm not welcome at all.

Guys, look at this. Look at this. Look at that.

...a bizarre sight over South America...

It doesn't look like anything crafted by man.

It's really befuddling.

...frightening lights illuminate the sky

in New Zealand...

I would be very afraid

if I saw these things in the sky.

You think like the world's ending?

...and even more paranormal footage

you have to see...

to believe.

Abandoned, decrepit buildings are inherently creepy.

But when that building is a 118-year-old church

that was destroyed in a hurricane

and experienced life and death,

the creepy factor goes up --

way up.

So what would possess a man to visit a haunted church like this

in the middle of the night...

by himself?

A man who is asking to be terrified.

Make this chair move.

Make it move.

What in the world?

All right, guys, I'm just gonna peek in this little room

right here.

It looks like it's in the back of the church.

It looks like a storage area.

It's 2:00 a.m. on September 3rd, 2019

in Belleview, Florida.

Chris Lamia, an urban ghost hunter,

has challenged himself to remain inside an abandoned church

that's said to be haunted for at least 30 minutes.

Okay.

From when it was founded in 1902,

this Baptist church served as a place of worship

until it was damaged beyond repair

by Hurricane Irma in 2017.

All right, I'm coming in through the side door.

My name's Chris. Last name's Lamia.

And when I walked into that place,

I'd lie if I said I wasn't scared.

I was definitely scared.

It looks like it's ready to collapse any minute.

All that's left inside our damaged Bibles,

broken furniture,

and someone or something else.

What the hell?

Oh, my goodness.

That's the Bible.

Oh, wow. Look at that.

Oh, my God! Here we go. Here we go.

Oh, what do I do here?

I'm completely frozen, guys. Completely frozen in my tracks.

Oh, my God.

The strange part of it is,

is that your whole body just freezes up

where you just feel like you just lock up and you can't move.

So that's kind of where I was in that moment.

The clock is ticking,

but not nearly fast enough.

Oh, my God.

So I went to pick this up.

This whole thing.

Okay. This is really freaking me out, guys.

There was definitely something going on,

whether it was a spirit or spirits

knocking these chairs over or just,

you know, the energy of this gentleman, of Chris,

going in there causing that to happen

or kind of intention PK.

I wish this would happen so much that it happens.

I'm completely dizzy.

I'm so dizzy right now.

Just all of a sudden out of nowhere,

I start breathing a little heavy

and I have to sit because if I don't sit,

I don't know how long I'm gonna be out for.

I have passed out once before,

and I don't want it to happen again.

I hear something.

Halfway through,

Chris attempts to collect himself.

I hear you.

I hear you.

But then the haunting becomes physical.

This just hit me in the head.

Chris now appears to be under attack.

But is he in danger?

This has been a place of worship for well over 100 years.

So this place has seen sadness, hope, death,

baptisms, you know, all sorts of things

that attribute to milestone human events

and also becomes a crutch for people's emotional

and spiritual well-being.

Something like a hurricane to destroy a place like this,

that type of national disaster can stir up all of that.

LAMIA:!

This chair stood up, fell down, moved like crazy.

Look! Look!

That chair just moved.

I just don't understand it.

I just really don't understand it.

But. Hey, whoa, whoa! !

What in the hell?

I think that this is probably residual energy.

If it is a residual haunting, then you're going to have people

moving chairs to get ready for the service.

You're gonna have Bibles falling for

the clergy members reaching for them.

Like, all of it makes sense to me.

Guys, look at this. Look at this. Look at that.

That was actually really freaky

because I look over my right shoulder

and there is an office chair that's just spinning.

As soon as I looked, it's just...

I caught it on camera spinning, but it just stopped.

It's just insane. It's insane.

When girls zero in on things to manipulate,

they usually zero in on things

that had human activity tied to them.

And we spend a lot of time sitting at our tables,

at desks, at work, at home, on the couch.

Chairs are a focus of human activity.

It makes sense that that spirits might be drawn there.

I don't know if it's just something that I'm bringing out.

I think they might feed off of fear.

And it seems to be when I calm down,

everything else sort of calms down.

Chill out. I'm gonna calm down.

I think the goal is just to try and interact.

But I get so worked up that I don't even get to that point.

I'm on fire. Whatever it is, it's on fire,

and all chaos breaks out.

About two thirds of the way

through his challenge...

This is just -- It's just pure evil.

I mean, I can't see this as anything other than pure evil,

absolute evil.

...a decidedly different kind of force

suddenly intervenes.

Cops are here.

Got to go, guys. Cops are here.

With about seven minutes left to go

in his 30-minute challenge,

Chris is told by police to leave the property,

which is fine by him.

I'm kind of glad.

I'm kind of glad he showed up

because this place is nuts.

I'm out. I'm not going back in.

I was highly relieved when the cops showed up.

After I turned the cameras off, that was it.

I got in the car and got the heck out of there.

Although Chris walked away terrified that night,

it won't stop him from ghost hunting in the future.

It's kind of like when you're riding

that roller coaster and you say you'll never get back on it,

and the next day, you're right back on it.

There's just something to be said about it.

It's an adrenaline rush.

Look at that.

Oh, my God!

Here we go. Here we go.

Coming up...

worm-shaped entities are spotted above Mexico.

Professional photographers use their keen eye

for detail to capture compelling images.

And they're constantly on the lookout

for unique subject matter to shoot.

So when a man in Mexico who specializes in sky photography

saw a bizarre object floating above him,

he immediately knew he captured something extraordinary...

...and possibly extraterrestrial.

Mexico City, 2004.

Arturo Robles Gil,

a photographer with more than 50 years of experience,

was on the roof of his studio

when he saw something strange in the sky,

so he grabbed his camera and started to film.

It was a long white twisting form,

unlike anything he had ever seen before,

and he immediately thought it might not be of this world.

My name is Arturo, and this is my video.

It definitely looks like it's, if not a living organism,

a part of a biological organism.

So it's not too much of a stretch of the imagination.

It certainly doesn't look like anything crafted by man.

Arturo is baffled and assumed

that this was a once-in-a-lifetime event.

Amazingly, since then, he has spotted

more than 40 of these objects in the skies over Mexico.

Because of their elongated shape,

they've come to be known as UFO worms

or EBANIs, a Spanish acronym

that means Unidentified Anomalous Biological Entities.

And upon closer inspection,

it appeared as though these worm-like objects

were dropping or releasing a series of smaller objects,

what some refer to as sentinels.

All of which continued to float in the sky.

I kind of wonder if they're releasing something

for the purpose of either nesting or procreation

or something environmental.

It could be a probe.

It could be smaller craft coming from it.

A shuttlecraft, if you will.

It just might be a side effect.

You drive a car, there's going to be emissions.

It could be that if this is just something

that's coming off of it naturally

or as a byproduct of whatever mechanics are inside of it,

we're witnessing this.

If it's not a UFO and it's coming off of this,

you know, suspended worm in the sky,

are these like spawns?

And Arturo is not the only person to have spotted

these sphere-shooting UFOs.

They've been seen all over the world.

Over the years, I've received many reports of entities

that people call sky snakes or sky worms.

I've had calls come in from Canada, I believe Mississippi,

other places in the U.S.

Discovery for Mark. we've got the third image down.

They've even been seen in outer space.

This incredible footage was captured by NASA astronaut

Dr. Story Musgrave in 1993.

Watch as the object seems to undulate

like a living being across the sky.

These are people that are trained to understand

and observe anomalies, and they've seen a lot of things.

So then when they're seeing something

that they cannot explain

and there's multiple accounts of it

from reliable sources, that adds layers of credibility.

As of now, an explanation for these UFOs

remains up in the air, but Arturo holds out hope

that one day he'll find some answers.

Until then, he'll just keep filming them from afar.

Coming up...

meanwhile, down here on Earth,

did three boys in Indiana...

...spot a Sasquatch?

Oh, my God. What is that?

There's nothing more thrilling than

when you get to a certain age and your parents allow you

to play in the woods without supervision.

But there are those times

when that lack of supervision can be terrifying

because in some woods, there are mysterious creatures lurking,

just waiting for the opportunity to make a move,

which is what happened to three boys in Indiana

during one misty afternoon in the forest.

And unfortunately for them,

there was no one around to hear them scream.

There it is! It's on the road!

It's 2008 on a cold winter's day

in Decatur, Indiana.

Caleb Averill is filming his younger brother Mason

and their friend Zach

as they're playing on some drainpipes in the woods

when Mason spots something strange in the distance.

What?

I'm not seeing it.

Where'd it go?

Where is it, though?

No way.

Hoping to get a closer look,

the boys do what most curious kids would do.

They go searching for it.

It went into the woods?

Then suddenly...

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

...a large humanoid figure appears

casually walking through the trees.

Oh, my God. What is that?

What is that?

Don't tell me that's a Yeti. Oh, my God, dude.

Panicked,

the boys start tracking the creature.

Where is it?

Do you guys see him?!

Be careful!

It suddenly reappears just 60 feet away.

Terrified,

the boys wisely hightail it out of there.

But what exactly was that thing?

We can see a humanoid figure that kind of resembles a man,

but it seems bigger and darker than a man.

It really does look like a standard, you know,

Bigfoot-type creature.

A person just wandering through the woods

would never have elicited this kind of reaction

from normal kids.

You would certainly, if you saw kids chasing after you,

you would certainly turn your head

and want to know what's going on

if you were walking through the woods.

But this thing,

it doesn't seem to want to have anything to do with them

and is moving along at a pretty good rate to get away.

Where'd he go? Where'd he go?

With all these videos that have a Bigfoot-like creature in it,

they seem to be curious about the observer

and sometimes even fearful themselves as they take off.

Is it possible the boys really saw a Bigfoot?

What's that? Right over there?

What?

What is that thing?

And if so,

how wise was it to go after it in the first place?

Every culture seems to have their own version of Sasquatch.

And there's a reason why, as humans,

were telling similar stories.

Maybe that means that there are actually these creatures

out there roaming around.

Do you guys see him?

Be careful!

If you are three young boys in the woods

and you see a bipedal figure...

What is that?

...alone walking near you, just run away.

Get out of there.

We're gonna find him.

This is every kid's dream,

to see something spooky with your friends

and then go try to hunt it down.

What is that thing?

So I applaud them.

You know, you're surrounded by your friends.

You think you see a Bigfoot? You better go look for it.

It's been more than a decade

since the boys encountered the mysterious creature

and they never saw it again.

But it's a part of their childhood

that will likely haunt them forever.

Coming up...

Are these lights in the sky evidence of an alien invasion?

Accidents such as spilled drinks,

dropped plates, or broken glasses

happened from time to time at bars and restaurants.

Usually there's a waiter or bartender to blame.

And it's no big deal.

They just clean up the mess and go on with their day.

However, there's a bar in Australia

where this has become a common occurrence,

but it's not an employee breaking things.

It's a ghost.

According to the staff at the Carlisle Castle Hotel Bar

in New South Wales, Australia,

eerie things had been happening for years,

leading them to believe the place is haunted.

In January 2014, the owner finally captured proof

of the paranormal activity on his CCTV cameras.

Keep your eyes on the shelves of wine

in the middle of the screen...

...as two bottles inexplicably fall off the shelf.

That same night, a security camera in the bar

captures another unexplained event.

Keep your eyes on the waitress leaning over the counter

as a wine glass drops from the overhead rack

and nearly hits her.

Then, that same month,

a third camera in the dining room

captures what appears to be.

A ghostly figure waving its arms.

Any one of these events would raise an eyebrow.

All three together seem to be conclusive proof.

The restaurant is haunted.

A lot of these buildings are super old.

There's tons of people that come in daily, all kinds of emotions,

from sadness to happiness, anger, fighting.

So it's no surprise that some of this energy seems to linger on.

And of the three clips,

the one that captured the apparition in the dining room

is perhaps the best illustration of whoever

or whatever that energy is.

This seems to be a translucent object

that seems to have a form.

It's kind of hard to figure out what that form is,

but it's also very difficult to try to figure out

what it might be if it isn't a ghost,

because you think about things that might get

in the way of the camera lens, a particle of dust.

It doesn't seem to be that.

Doesn't seem to be a reflection.

It seems to be scanning the room almost.

It's not just an ambiguous or circular orb shape.

It's fairly vertical. It moves in the way a person would move.

It seems like a definite human apparition.

And you combine the wine bottle falling

and have a glass fly around.

There's a definite sense of consistency in the way

that this particular manifestation is happening.

Whatever this energy is doing,

it definitely seems to have a sort of intelligence behind it

and it seems to want to frame other people for these mishaps.

The owner believes the entity could be

a disgruntled and now deceased employee from the 90s

named Pete, or as they refer to him now, Old Pete.

And according to the staff, Old Pete loved red wine.

If this was Old Pete trying to get his nightly

bottle of wine, it would make sense

that his spirit was capable of knocking it off,

but not necessarily maneuvering it

in a way that would make sense

with people with thumbs and hands.

If the staff at the Carlisle Castle Hotel Bar

wants to make peace with Old Pete,

they may want to heed some advice from the experts.

What management needs to do in this case

is every morning, pour out a nice glass of wine for Pete.

He's obviously just looking to get hammered again.

So give him a little wine

and I guarantee you everything will be fine.

A natural disaster such as a tornado,

a tidal wave,

or an earthquake

is an absolutely terrifying experience.

If you're fortunate enough to get a warning

before one strikes, fear and panic

still set in as you wonder what destruction awaits you

or if you will even survive.

Now, imagine experiencing that catastrophic event

compounded with a paranormal twist.

It may seem like

the entire world is coming to an end.

Which is exactly what some New Zealand residents

faced a few years ago...

in the moments after a major earthquake.

Two minutes after midnight on November 14, 2016,

a powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake

hit the south island of New Zealand.

The epicenter was close to the city of Christchurch

and was so strong

that residents 120 miles away in the capital of Wellington

felt the ground shake beneath them

and saw these incredible lights in the sky.

This footage was captured by a man named Iman Ayach,

who was so frightened by what he was seeing,

he started praying.

Iman's first thought was that

a planet or star had struck Earth.

It has a definite end-of-days vibe.

I think that on that social level,

we're all really intrigued by the idea

and frightened of the idea that our planet

can turn on us at any moment

and we can go from just having a normal afternoon

to an apocalyptic hellscape

that we're all left struggling to live in.

Not too far away, also in Wellington,

a home security camera picked up the sinister-looking sky

from another angle.

This clip comes from a woman named Grace Gacumos-Lim.

And across town, a man named Andrew Taylor

also captured the frightening phenomenon

from his home security camera.

It's certainly a bizarre-looking phenomenon.

You know, it's hard to figure out, too.

It's hard to wrap your head around how the land moving

can have sort of a light show effect on the sky.

But of course, the big question.

Are these lights in the sky paranormal?

And if so, what is their significance?

What's the order of causation?

Are the lights causing the earthquakes

or are the earthquakes causing the lights?

One of the I think most common explanations

brings us back to that intriguing idea of plasma

as a physical substance that glows,

and as tectonic shifts are happening in the ground

and our earth is literally cracking apart,

what's being released into the sky

to create this...

or aliens.

It's always our other possibility.

In fact, there have been reports recently

that connects these kind of lights

and earthquakes in general

with extraterrestrial life forms.

There's a theory going around that extraterrestrials

are arriving to earth and causing these earthquakes

and subsequently these earthquake lights.

My question is why? What are they trying to obtain?

What are they doing?

Are they running tests or are they collecting materials?

Why cause earthquakes?

If you think about it, an earthquake emits

a ton of energy and that energy

is just dissipated throughout the land in the air.

So maybe we're looking at this thing the wrong way.

Maybe the aliens aren't coming here to cause an earthquake,

but rather they're attracted to the earthquake.

They show up prior to the earthquake

and collect all the energy that's dissipated

by all the moving tectonic plates.

If you think about it, if they could harness

even half of that energy,

the possibilities are endless.

Whether a beacon for extraterrestrial beings,

a result of their presence, or something else entirely,

one thing's for certain --

they amplify the fear

of an already-frightening situation.

I've never lived in a place that has a lot of earthquakes,

so I have not seen any of these.

But if I did, I would take it as a warning sign

because it's gonna be a bumpy ride.

Coming up...

a man in Indiana whips up some wins with his mind.

What I'm doing is using my energetic field

to interact with the energetic field of the environment.

It is an exhilarating feeling.

Psychokinesis --

the ability to move an object

or affect the property of things with your mind.

The theory goes that everything surrounding us

possesses an energy,

and it's believed that some people can harness that energy

and conform it to their will.

Those who master psychokinesis

seem to possess supernatural powers.

And one man in Indiana has taken those powers

to a mind-bending new level.

Bloomington, Indiana, in the fall of 2013.

Michael Grubb is on the grounds of a school

that is out of session.

There's a light breeze in the air

and he's about to demonstrate an ability

that will blow your mind.

What you're seeing is called aerokinesis,

a form of psychokinesis where one uses their mind

to connect with nature and affect the wind.

And it's something that Michael has become a master at.

My name is Michael Grubb.

I've been practicing self-mastery for now

close to 30 years,

but I've been practicing aerokinesis

probably for about 15 to 20.

What I'm doing is just basically using my energetic field

to bring in and to interact with the energetic field

of the environment.

So you're a controlling per se, but it will react and respond

to how you are able to project your energy.

And then once that energy is moving through you,

you're able to project it outward.

And that's what takes a lot of the effort in training it

and all this, is being able to actually learn how to

project it.

I got to be honest.

What he's doing looks very impressive.

It looks like he's controlling the wind.

As something I do, I debunk all the time,

so I'm looking, how is he doing this?

He was on video for a good minute and a half, two minutes

and there was no wind whatsoever.

And suddenly starts waving his arm and here comes the wind.

The idea behind moving and controlling the elements

with your mind is not a new idea at all.

We see it a lot in the Bible. Moses parts the sea.

Jesus walks on water and also a lot of indigenous people.

You know, they do rain dances, they do rituals and movements

in a way to control the weather, to make it favorable to them.

I feel like there is some parallel precedent

with this in martial arts.

You can control energy and projects energy.

And if it's just a control of your energy,

all you're really doing is controlling yourself.

And we do that every day as we move through our environment.

It might not be that far of a leap

to extend that to say all right,

I can affect my environment locally around me.

But of course, the question needs to be asked.

If Michael and others

can actually connect with the wind and manipulate it,

are we in any danger?

The only thing that makes it dangerous

is if you yourself have a negative frame of mind.

If you're the type of person who is greedy, angry, fearful,

just negative in general.

So it's more dangerous to you

than it is, say, for the environment.

And you have to really exercise

this or practice it for a very long time

in order to get good enough to where it's dangerous

on any sort of environmental level.

It's more like a sport than anything else.

Coming up...

a UFO hovers above Australia...

Holy moley. The hell?

...and stays there.

It's not moving at all.

Most UFO sightings are fleeting.

Are you seeing what I'm seeing?

They tend to appear and then vanish within seconds,

hardly enough time to grab your camera and start shooting.

It's gone.

Which only adds to the confusion and mystery.

So when an egg-shaped UFO remained visible

for more than 40 minutes over Australia,

it was much easier to catch on camera.

Now that's the freakiest thing

I've seen in a long time.

But that didn't make it any easier to comprehend.

Holy moley. The hell?

I'm standing out of my driveway.

And I'm looking to the northwest.

And there is a UFO, and it's been sitting there

for the last 10 minutes.

In May 2016, Russell Ladmore

from southeastern Australia went outside to smoke a cigaret.

He was standing in his driveway when he noticed something

oval and bright in the sky.

So he grabbed a tripod and his camera

with a telephoto lens and started filming.

LADMORE:. Check this out.

The object hung perfectly still in the sky

for a considerable amount of time,

as Russell continued to film.

Look at that. What the is that?

The shape of this UFO is very peculiar.

It looks like almost like an egg or an oval of some sort.

The light seems to be shimmering.

It's unlike anything I've ever seen.

That's freaky, man.

I mean, it looks like a blimp, but I know it can't be.

It doesn't look biological.

It looks like it's carrying something.

It looks like cargo.

It looks like the cruise ship of UFOs.

What is that and what is it doing?

Wonder how many other people are seeing it.

What I found interesting about it

is just how long it remained motionless.

It's not moving at all.

So often UFOs are intriguing because of how they move.

It's always fun to see one that's intriguing

because it doesn't.

Was that a plane?

In videos like this, it's always good to try

to get as much perspective as possible.

Landmarks, geological features, other things in the sky.

Like in this one, we know how big our planes are,

so in comparison, this thing seemed rather large

and it just was hovering there.

If I saw this UFO and I was on that plane,

I would immediately order a whiskey ginger

because I would think that I'm about to die.

Russell was freaked out for nearly 40 minutes.

Then whatever it was suddenly did start to move...

Yeah, it's moving now.

...and slowly faded away.

When we see a light in the sky that emits no sound

is operating seemingly against known laws of physics

that generate light, that disappear into nothingness,

it's hard to tell what it is and it's hard to say what it's not

because it's beyond what we currently understand.

Russell has yet to find out

what that bright light in the sky was.

And just like thousands of other UFO sightings,

it's a mystery that will most likely never be solved

until they, the aliens that is, decide to land.

Now, that's the freakish thing

I've seen in a long time.

What should you do in the event

you witness something paranormal?

Here are some tips to get it all on camera.

Keep a safe distance from the monsters.

Get it on camera. Get it on camera.

Check all your footage for something strange.

Trust your instincts that what you're seeing

really is otherworldly.

What in the world?
