The

Everything's going all haywire.

A poltergeist torments a man in Utah.

Oh

Oh, oh, oh! No, no, no this.

I've never been more scared in my entire life.

A motorcycle ride takes a terrifying turn.

Hundreds of UFOs are spotted off the east coast of Florida.

They're traveling all together.

Look how many there are.

They seemed to have a trajectory that is intelligent.

A giant lake monster surfaces in Turkey.

Is this some sort of freakily evolved sea mammal creature

that got trapped in this lake?

And even more paranormal footage you have to see...

Can you tell me what's in this cellar?

...to believe.

Did you know that a spirit can attach itself to a person?

And for some, having a super natural connection

can be a fascinating experience.

But for others, it can feel more like a chronic illness

that keeps creeping in and out of their lives,

following them from place to place,

and showing itself when they least expect it.

Which is what happened to one man in Utah.

Everything is going all haywire.

Who, as far as we know,

is still being haunted to this day.

Oh!

Oh, oh, oh! No, no, no!

this.

Woods Cross, Utah.

Since the age of five,

James Fitzpatrick believes a spirit

has been following him around wherever he goes.

My name is James and this is my video.

I've had my sheets pulled off my bed.

I've had something grab my leg while I was in bed.

Doors opening and closing by themselves.

Lights turning on and off.

I heard what sounded like a little kid

laughing in our living room but there was nobody in there.

Stuff happens a lot.

In December 2019, James was home alone

when he noticed his daughter's remote control car

started moving on its own.

That's the remote on the floor there.

I was watching a movie,

and all of a sudden out of the corner of my eye

I just see it kind of just barely going back and forth

and then I look at it and it just

zooms back maybe about four feet

and then that's when I started recording.

That toy car is moving by itself and there's the remote for it.

And the second I said something about it moving,

it just stopped.

I tried thinking of, "Okay what could be causing that."

I'm not an electrical type of person or anything

but I mean, after I took the video

I looked at the car and it was off.

I don't know how to explain it.

A few weeks later,

James caught another eerie event on camera accidentally

as he played a prank on his wife seen here in the video.

I had just gotten a new bank account and discovered

that I could activate and deactivate my debit card.

And my wife didn't know that, so she was trying to buy

something on the Internet with my card,

and it's not working and, you know,

I'd show her my bank account, "Okay, well,

the money's in there so you're obviously

doing something wrong."

Then I started to film,

'cause I knew that she was going to start to get aggravated.

Then, as James is filming his wife,

something appears in the background.

Did you see that?

Look at the right side of the doorway behind her

as a shadow figure peaks out for a moment.

Even their dog takes notice.

James wasn't even aware of the dark entity in the background

until a friend pointed it out to him the next day.

He's just like, "Dude, did you notice this?"

I was like "What?"

He like starts the video over

and he's like pointing right where it is

and that's when I saw it and I was just like, "Oh."

And that's not all.

James believes the entity has also followed him to work.

One night in 2016, while he was working his shift

at a security company, all hell broke loose.

I showed up to work.

Something felt a little off,

but it wasn't anything that really concerned me

or anything, it was just kind of like a weird vibe.

Then at about 2:30, my co-worker Ryan went out on patrol

and about two minutes after he left...

The

Everything's going all haywire.

We got alarms going off.

Ryan's out on patrol.

At first I was kind of running through my head

trying to think of every possible explanation

as to what it could be.

And I kind of came to the conclusion,

"Oh, maybe it's, like, something's wrong

with like the power line or something."

So I kind of poked my head out the window

and the power line was fine.

I took my phone out to record a video

to send it to my supervisor like,

"Hey, man, what do I do?"

And then as I'm walking through,

that's when it just kind of all got real.

I think there's a poltergeist

or some in here.

Oh!

Oh, oh, oh. No, no, no. this.

This door just slammed

and I've never been more scared in my entire life.

Holy.

No way did that just happen.

No way.

Holy

What the

My first reaction when I see this clip

is, "Dude, something's trying to get your attention.

Something really wants to talk to you."

This is next level. There is so much happening here.

McNEILL: It's one of those scenarios

that the supernatural will use what we give it

to communicate, so the more we surround

ourselves with electronic devices,

the more that's gonna be how the supernatural finds

a conduit to communicate with us.

Oh!

So is this the work of a spirit that has been haunting

James since he was a young boy,

and if so, what is that spirit trying to convey?

That toy car is moving by itself.

If he's saying that this spirit

has been with him for a long time,

it could be that spirit trying to play with him again

as if he was a child, or maybe that spirit is a child.

There is a lot of activity happening to this guy

and to me that's indicative of a poltergeist,

because a poltergeist sort of creates chaos in that way.

McNEILL: What poltergeists want is sort of up in the air.

They want attention.

They want to be noticed.

Oh!

McNEILL: Do they want us to run screaming from that space

or do they want us to, like, join in

and like start making a lot of noise

and smashing windows with them, who knows?

It's hard to say.

And the shadow person?

There's multiple theories as to what shadow people are.

Some people think that they're an entire species,

like, there's a shadow dimension

where the shadow people are sort of just seeping into our world.

The definition that I'd subscribe to

is that it's a manifestation of the energy in a location.

Whatever the case may be, James isn't too thrilled

with these disturbances in his life.

He's trying to get rid of the spirit

by having his house cleansed by a medium,

but nothing seems to work.

She walked through our house, did the whole sage thing,

and I think it just pissed it off.

I think we're at the point where we don't want to piss it off

anymore than I guess what it already is.

Oh!

Knowing that he has a long history

with having energies attached to him,

it's pretty clear that he's some sort of beacon

or energy source for ghosts and spirits.

Sometimes they go, sometimes they stay,

sometimes new ones come.

So if you're that type of person then they'll always be around,

but I don't consider that to be a bad thing.

I think it's kind of fun. You have a buddy for life,

you get to always be able to talk to someone.

Yes, it's creepy, yes, they're ghosts,

but it's just nice to have someone listen

because that's all ghosts can do.

It's very difficult for them to talk, which in many ways

is the greatest friendship of all.

Oh! that!

Oh, oh, oh! No, no, no! this.

Coming up,

a biker's blood-curdling encounter in India.

Imagine you're riding a motorcycle down

a dimly lit road late at night.

There are no other cars as far as the eye can see.

You're totally exposed, with nothing but clothes

to protect you from the pavement if something were to go wrong.

You could hit a pothole or a slick spot and lose control.

An animal could dart out into the road and cause you to crash.

Or if you happen to be traveling along a certain

haunted road in India, you could come across this.

It's December 2017 in Uttarakhand, India.

A vlogger named Anurag Dobhal

is riding his motorcycle to a wedding.

To get there, he's taking a shortcut

on a stretch of road feared by locals

for its high number of fatal accidents.

Because of it's deadly reputation,

Anurag's on edge and just hopes to get to the wedding safely.

Then, he sees this.

Watch again in slow motion as a ghost or spirit

seems to cross directly in front of Anurag's motorcycle.

My name is Anurag, and this is my video.

I cannot believe this guy turned around.

You got lucky the first time when the ghost let you go by

without killing you.

Just leave well enough alone and go to the wedding.

This is a pretty terrifying clip.

Seeing this apparition in the middle of the road,

which just seems to appear...

...and has absolutely no response

to the fact that a motorcycle is speeding at it.

Even when the motorcycle passes the figure,

it makes no sign of recognition.

Almost as if it's not there at all.

After Anurag returned home from the terrifying event,

he immediately reviewed the footage.

But that wasn't all Anurag noticed about the eerie entity.

That's really curious because if that's the case

then you're seeing them right through the back of the head,

which would mean that the figure was transparent or translucent.

That was really an odd feature to this video.

As it turns out, supernatural beings

like the one Anurag captured on his moto-cam,

are very prevalent in Hindu culture.

In India they're called bhoots, or restless spirits,

and usually appear in white clothing,

cast no shadows, and torment drivers on the road.

In this part of the world in the foothills of the Himalayas,

that figure looks like the traditional ghost

that's reported in Bengali, in Hindu culture.

So I like the fact that it matches the activity

that people are already experiencing.

McNEILL: This is where Folklorists start getting really excited

because when something resonates like this with people

and we see that evidence that it's been shared in

like this giant game of telephone.

Whether it's because people have had the same experience

or it speaks to some sort of belief system

that people are operating in, this is significant.

Anurag's brush with the paranormal

was so distressing, it took a toll on him physically.

I've heard people just had been so freaked out

over an experience that it knocks them out.

It knocks them out for days.

When Anurag finally recovered,

he posted the video of his hellish ride online

and it captured the attention of more than 1.5 million viewers.

And although his traumatic encounter happened

more than two years ago,

Anurag is still not over it, and probably never will be.

Coming up, a cluster of UFOs

appear near Kennedy Space Center.

Look at all the ones at the top.

They're like an invasion. It's an invasion.

Look at that

Shooting stars, tiny bits of space rock

that burn up once they enter Earth's atmosphere.

If you're lucky enough to catch one of these flying overhead,

you'll never forget it.

Now, imagine seeing not one but nearly 100

of these spectacular sights at the same time

and then envision those shooting stars

aren't burning up in the atmosphere,

but rather staying aloft and moving in circles,

almost as if they are being intelligently controlled.

How would you react?

Probably similar to one Florida resident

when he saw this during an early morning drive.

Holy Holy

Did you see that?

Oh, hell, no, look at that one.

These are not stars.

It's 5:00 AM, April 2019, in Cocoa Beach, Florida.

Alberto Torres and his family

are driving to an Easter sunrise service

when something moving around in the sky catches his eye.

Roll my window down.

What the is this?

You tell me.

What the hell is that.

At first glance, Alberto thinks

he is looking at shooting stars.

Oh, look -- You see that flying star?

But a few seconds later,

he realizes that isn't the case.

Look at how they're moving in form.

They're moving in form and circles.

Holy Holy

Did you see that?

- Did you see that? - Yeah.

Oh, hell, no, look at that one.

These are not stars.

And in fact, Alberto is right.

The objects are not burning up in the atmosphere,

but rather traveling in distinct patters in the sky

as if they are intelligently controlled

by someone or something.

And there are a lot of them.

Look at that, they're traveling all together.

Look how many there are.

This is a lot more UFOs than we're used to seeing.

Usually it's three, two, four but this is dozens and dozens.

Maybe 100.

There's more than 100 of them.

No, how is there more now?

They fly and they move around

and then they come together again.

A lot of Ufologists refer to

this sort of phenomenon as an "Armada,"

which essentially is a number of these craft

that are up in the sky at any one time.

Wow. That is so crazy.

They're like all over.

Look at that, now they're moving around.

That is not really normal.

They seem to have a trajectory that is intelligent.

They're moving on purpose.

These moved.

They didn't move in a just regular way,

they moved, look at them, look at them.

McNEILL: It looked like sort of intentionally moving

clustered objects

either emitting or reflecting light.

The guesses made on the video are, I think, good ones.

I bet you those are drones.

Drones cannot be that high up.

What is that?

Balloons?

Oh, they are lit up, right?

If these lights in the sky aren't stars,

drones, or balloons, what are they?

Perhaps it has something to do with where

Alberto and his family spotted them -- in Cocoa Beach,

just 20 miles south of NASA's Kennedy Space Center.

We're right around NASA.

What the hell is those things moving?

The fact that this sighting took place very close to NASA

adds another element to this mystery.

Are they remote controlled things from NASA

- that they're practicing? - Maybe.

Is this something that NASA's putting together?

Like the gentleman mentioned, is it some sort of

training exercise

or are they testing some equipment?

Is this even involved with NASA whatsoever?

Look at all the ones on the top.

Like, they're like an invasion.

It's an invasion. Look at this

This is literally happening on the space coast.

So if there is something alien in nature

it makes sense for them to visit that location,

the headquarters for where we try to explore space.

This is not bull,

they're lining up and everything, Kira, look it.

I've never seen this in my life.

Alberto and his family have yet to find out

what they saw early that morning near NASA,

and they haven't seen anything like it since.

Which begs the question, is it possible

that Alberto captured an event on camera

that no one was supposed to see.

I mean, if the government is smart,

they're probably taking cues from UFOs

and it's possible that they've experienced

or seen these clustered aircrafts before

and are trying to recreate that as a form of surveillance.

Like, it's possible that this is NASA

creating it's own surveillance fleet.

Oh, you seen those how fast they go?

That is so crazy.

What aren't you telling us, NASA?

NASA, more like Never A Straight Answer.

That's what my uncle says anyway.

Holy Holy

Did you see that?

Coming up, a cellar that will give you the creeps.

What's in this cellar?

That cellar scared the out of me.

During the 1800s, infectious disease outbreaks

such as cholera, smallpox, and scarlet fever

ravaged areas throughout New England.

In some towns, the population was nearly wiped out completely.

Sadly, children and babies without fully developed

immune systems were among the hardest hit.

So, is it possible that spirits of those who lost their lives

might still be lingering in buildings from that era?

A man from Maine believes it is.

Can you tell me what's in this cellar?

And he has the evidence to prove it.

Demon?

It's August 2019 in Carmel, Maine.

Paranormal investigator Kent Burris has been contacted

by a woman named Dawn.

She lives in a farmhouse that was built around 1850

and believes it's haunted.

Dawn tells Kent that she's seen multiple apparitions,

heard disembodied voices and other unexplained sounds.

The paranormal activity is too much for Dawn to handle,

so she's moving out.

As she packs up, Kent conducts an investigation.

He begins by walking through the farmhouse

and trying to communicate with any spirits

that might be haunting it.

Dawn said that she saw you guys last night.

Are you upset because she's moving?

Are you coming down the steps?

Wow.

That literally sounded like

somebody very light footed coming down the steps.

When I first walked into the farm house,

I felt that there was something there,

and I instantly knew that

there was definitely something going on with the house.

Is anybody home?

Alright.

I know I heard very, very loud walking in this house.

Hoping to get some

more definitive answers to his questions,

Kent turns on a spirit box

to capture electronic voice phenomenon

or EVPs.

Help you?

Can you talk to me about your situation?

Why are you in this house?

What happened to you?

Then, a solid clue.

Kent immediately heads down to the cellar

with his equipment.

Last night...

Dawn saw two apparitions here in this house,

two of you people.

That cellar scared the out of me.

The first time I went down in there,

I felt, like...

this static electricity going around my skin,

and I was thinking,

"Boy, there is something down this cellar."

When you do the work for long enough,

you start to pick up on physical cues

when activity is taking place.

For me, it's a sense of thickness in the room,

and sometimes, my eyes water.

For him,

he felt a static feeling in the basement,

and that's probably his personal cue

that something is going on, something is happening.

Alright, you guys. Talk to me.

You keep saying you need help.

Are you stuck? Are you wanting to move on?

What's holding you hostage?

I knew that there was

a negative presence in this cellar,

and it felt like more than one person,

and I could tell

by the disembodied voices,

it felt like I was almost in a literal hell --

their hell.

Can you tell me what's in this cellar?

Demon?

I was very frightened

what I was dealing with,

but I also knew that I had to finish this investigation.

I had to get down to the bottom

of what was going on.

A lot of the stuff he caught in the basement,

I thought, was really, really interesting.

I did run some of the voices.

I clipped some of the voices that he caught,

and I ran them through some of the programs that I have,

and the voices that he captured

did fall within the human voice range.

So, you know, there's that.

Those were human voices that he recorded.

What I really liked about this session was that

usually, you will hear, like, syllables

come through every second.

A really good tell-tale sign

that you're picking up a real ghost voice

is when you get full sentences

that span over different frequencies.

I noticed that they kept bringing up children,

and I finally reached a point in the investigation --

I felt like this has something to do with children.

According to Kent's research,

the farm house was built next door to a school,

where many of the local children

lost their lives to infectious diseases.

Usually, hauntings occur because of a tragedy,

and nothing is more tragic than a life cut short,

and so it's no surprise that this farmhouse

would be littered with activity.

But Kent doesn't believe the house

is haunted by children.

He thinks it's the tormented souls

of the parents who lost them.

One whole family here in Carmel,

the whole family of children

were completely wiped out --

every one of them --

and I just imagine parents

weeping at night for their children.

They mourn for years over the death of their children

and when they finally died

and instantly started looking for them,

they couldn't find them.

And I told them the children are not in this realm.

You are stuck in the in-between,

and your children are in the realm of peace.

Go to them.

After I said this during that investigation,

for the most part,

the paranormal activity absolutely stopped.

Thinking he's gotten all he's going to get,

Kent packs up his equipment and starts to head home.

But then, as he films a final shot of the farmhouse

for his records...

I saw somebody move in the window,

and I tried to zoom in.

My camera just completely went out of focus,

so I quickly took still shots.

These are the still shots that Kent took at that moment.

Look closely as the anguished face of a woman

is visible.

I had to walk up to the house

just to make sure that there's nobody in the house.

I knocked on the door. I banged, hollered.

There was no cars in the driveway.

There was nobody there.

When I saw the video of the window,

at first, I wasn't seeing any movement.

When he really does zoom in on it,

it looks pretty clearly like

the lower half of a woman's face.

Woman in a window is something that you see often

upon leaving the house,

and there's a sense of forlorn with that person staring.

There's a yearning

of that person staring out at you,

like, "Please, come back."

Like, "Come, give us more energy."

After gathering more than enough evidence,

Kent is confident

the farmhouse is haunted...

What happened to you?

...and still is...

...to this very day.

The people that are living in it now

have talked to me and said

they are having paranormal issues in the house.

I don't think that the paranormal activity

is as strong as it was

when I did the investigation in that house,

but they did say there is activity going on.

Can you tell me what's in this cellar?

Demon?

Coming up, a massive lake monster

surfaces in Turkey.

This footage is better than anything

that I've seen come out of Loch Ness.

In Eastern Turkey,

there's an ongoing mystery surrounding a massive lake

that spans 74 miles at its widest point

and 1,467 feet at its deepest.

That's about as deep

as the Empire State Building is tall.

Lake Van.

And although it's one of the largest lakes in the world,

only one type of fish, called the Pearl Mullet,

can survive here

because of the water's high salinity levels.

But locals believe there's a much larger living creature

hiding deep beneath the surface.

A 50-foot cryptid known as the Lake Van Monster,

who's legend dates back to 1889,

when two men recounted seeing a massive creature emerge

at the water's edge,

grab another man from the shore...

...and drag him into the lake.

Over 100 years later,

one man believes he's captured proof

of its existence.

It's 1997 at Lake Van in Eastern Turkey.

Unal Kozak,

a teaching assistant at Van University,

is in search of the Lake Van Monster.

Since it was first spotted in the late 19th century,

there have only been sporadic sightings of the creature.

In 1995,

a Turkish deputy governor

claimed he saw it.

The story made headlines and peaked the interest of many,

including Unal.

After spending over two years interviewing nearly 1,000 people

who claim to have seen the lake monster,

Unal set up cameras where it had been spotted

and waited.

Then, finally,

on the morning of June 10, 1997.

a large form,

something that looks like a head with an eye,

breaks the surface of the water

and visible just beneath the water line are humps

and a body or tail

that extends 40 to 45 feet behind it.

After showing his footage to a few colleagues,

Unal shared it with the media,

who immediately rushed in to get his account.

This footage is really impressive.

It's better than anything that I've seen come out of Loch Ness.

McNEILL: The image that we see is pretty convincing.

We see something come up out of the water.

It looks almost like we're seeing an eye...

something watching us back,

and then gone.

It almost looks like

the head of a tapir or a small elephant

but as the camera pans back,

you see that it's not a creature of that size

because it's much longer,

and it seems to have

a more serpentine body.

It also seems that it's not necessarily

a water-breathing creature

because we see, what appeared to be,

bubbles being generated from the front of it's head.

If you think about, like, even sea turtles

and even some types of amphibians --

all breath air with lungs.

They can hold their breath and maintain their heartbeat

at such a rate that they don't need

as much oxygen as, like, land mammals really do.

So, is this some sort of freakily evolved

sea mammal creature

that got trapped in this lake

from thousands of years ago?

If this is, in fact,

footage of some bizarrely evolved mammal,

could the chemical composition of Lake Van's water

have something to do with it?

McNEILL: Lake monster stories are always augmented

by sort of folk science that goes along with the idea

that this could actually physiologically be happening.

So the idea that only the rarest kind of fish can survive

under these particular aquatic conditions,

that means this is where

the rare water-dwelling cryptic would live,

and it's interesting to see how badly we want science

to tell us that our folklore is true.

While no one has been able to figure out

exactly what Unal captured on his camera that day,

his footage has helped to keep

the legend of the Lake Van Monster,

very much alive.

People are so fascinated by cryptic stories

and especially these lake monster stories

because there is this fear of the unknown.

There is a curiosity but also this awareness

that maybe something is a little bit bigger

and maybe you're not at the top of the food chain.

Coming up,

a surreal sight over Siberia.

The world is full of mysteries,

and human history is filled with our attempts to solve them.

But this search for knowledge

is not driven solely by curiosity.

It also comes from our need

to live in a world we can understand.

How else would we be able to build,

to progress,

or even establish a society

if we aren't confident that it will survive past tomorrow?

Which is why it's no trivial matter

when we witness something beyond comprehension

and are forced to ask the question

that these Siberian residents asked on this night.

Chto eto?

What is that?

October 26, 2017.

Residents across the region of Northern Siberia

are stunned...

...when a massive glowing ball of light

appears in the night sky.

It lasts for just a couple of minutes...

Before quickly fading away,

leaving behind a trail of speculation

all over social media.

Many believed it had been alien related.

Others thought it was a wormhole,

or perhaps a tear in the time-space continuum itself.

When I viewed this anomaly in the sky,

I didn't know what I was looking at.

It appears to be some sort of vortex

almost opening in the heavens.

I believe that dimensions exist,

and so if this is some sort of crack in a dimension

or a porthole

where energies are coming through,

I mean, it could look like that, absolutely.

The Russian Ministry of Defense

soon stepped in to offer an official explanation.

They claimed to have test-fired

an intercontinental ballistic missile,

which caused the anomaly in the sky.

Case closed?

Yeah. Not so fast.

You never believe the government 100%.

Look, if the government

doesn't want you to know

that there's something bigger going on,

if they're trying to cover up a presence

that's other worldly in nature,

rocket launch is a great excuse.

There are videos of other ballistic missile launches

that look nothing like that.

So, we can sort of hold those things up

next to each other and say, "Is it though?"

If the Russian government's gonna test the missile,

the last thing they're going to tell you

is that they tested a missile.

The only time they would tell you that they tested a missile

is when they were trying to cover up for something

that they didn't want you to know about.

Because of this, we may never know

if the mysterious glowing ball over Siberia

is proof of a paranormal phenomenon

or something else entirely.

But we do know this --

the truth is out there...

somewhere.

And that's the thing about all of this stuff,

is that you can literally say whatever you want,

because we're not privy to anything the government does.

If you say it was a missile launch,

what am I gonna say?

I don't know what you're doing,

so yeah, sure, that might be true,

but it's not true.

What should you do in the event

you witness something paranormal?

Here are some tips to get it all on camera.

Oh,!

Keep your eyes on the sky...

Holy. Did you see that?

...check all your footage

for something strange...

Oh,!

...trust your instincts

that what you're seeing...

...really is other worldly,

and if you do catch something,
