Next on "Paranormal Caught on Camera"...

a four-legged ghost visits from the other side.

I was shaking my head 'cause I couldn't believe what I saw.

A government camera in Washington state

captures evidence of a legendary creature.

What you're seeing is a bipedal humanoid creature

covered in hair.

By all accounts, that's a Bigfoot.

A grandmother joins her grandson for a selfie,

even though she's dead.

My God, that's the scariest thing I would ever imagine.

Is this evidence of human teleportation?

Someone has unlocked incredible power that is far beyond

what we currently understand.

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

...to believe.

For many, the thought of never seeing your parents again

after their deaths is overwhelming.

After all, they were there

from the very first moment of your life,

through all your ups and downs, till their very last breath.

But in some cultures, the death of a parent or loved one

does not necessarily mean you'll never see them again.

In fact, it could be just the beginning of seeing them,

quite literally, in a whole new light.

One woman in the Philippines discovered this

on Mother's Day weekend

when her son took a selfie video

and the ghost of her mother, his grandmother...

popped in.

Mother's Day weekend 2018 in San Jose, the Philippines.

While Teresa Ocampo cooks dinner, her young son

entertains himself by taking selfie videos with her phone.

Hours later, with her son in bed,

Teresa nonchalantly reviews the selfies and sees this.

In the foreground, her son,

and right next to him, her mother,

who had died a year earlier.

The figure maneuvers in and out of the shot for several seconds,

the boy seemingly unmoved by her appearance behind him

before the footage ends.

The photo to the right shows her mother when she was alive.

And the resemblance is undeniable.

My name is Teresa Ocampo.

This clip was super creepy to me.

I can't even imagine my grandmother

looking dead and gray with these huge black eyes.

My God, that's the scariest thing I would ever imagine.

This is the kind of clip that I find both mind-blowing

and chilling.

Not only does this woman, this grandmother,

appear tangible,

but she also looks somewhat decayed, with sunken eyes.

And there's even the appearance of veins

on the side of her face.

That's creepy.

The face that moves into the frame is very unnatural-looking.

If this is, in fact, a ghost face that we're seeing,

it's probably the most

up-close-and-personal ghost we have ever seen.

I mean, the face is only a few inches away from the screen

that's monitoring and recording this.

If a spirit is imprinting their image onto recording media,

it's not gonna be vaporous, it's not gonna be see-through.

It's gonna be solid.

It looks like a 3-dimensional,

solid person next to that little boy.

In a side-by-side comparison, they're a pretty good match.

Except for one creepy difference.

Her eyes did appear to be sunken in a portion of this video.

It's almost like she was manifested

up to a certain extent

and then her eyes started to hollow out.

A lot of people that have seen apparitions mention

that the apparition's eyes tend to be hollowed or blacked out,

almost sunken in the face, like a skull.

The idea of the sunken eye socket

or the gaunt look in a ghost or a ghoul, if you will,

it goes back to the times of burial preparation

and just dealing with dead bodies in general.

The body decomposes, its eyes sink in,

its cheeks sink in,

and that's sort of the look we're getting here.

When you first watch this video and find out

exactly what's going on,

you might be scared.

You might be terrified.

But the fact of the matter is, look at the boy.

He seems just fine.

if he's feeling the presence, it's of something familiar.

It's a family member.

It's someone who is there to protect him, to watch over him.

But Teresa's son's reaction, or lack thereof,

is not as surprising when you consider where they are living.

The belief in a spirit world is so deeply ingrained

in Filipino culture.

It's not a question of whether or not we believe in it.

It is real.

Because we believe that deceased ancestors

never really leave us,

even when they cross over to the other side.

All they did was move on into the spirit realm,

which is all around us and constantly interacting with us.

You can see that because the little boy,

he's innocently taking this selfie video

and his deceased Lola, just shows up behind him.

He's not afraid. He doesn't react at all.

It's simply just a thing that happens.

It's not surprising to me

that this Lola showed up on Mother's Day

to remind her family, you know, "Don't forget me."

And even outside of Filipino culture,

ancestral visits are far more common than you might think.

There's actually a really long tradition

of deceased grandparents

and other relatives visiting young children.

This is one of the most common paranormal

or supernatural things that kids report,

is that they have met a friendly person,

often an older person who they've never really known,

and when they describe that person,

the rest of the family pieces together,

"I think that's Grandma. I think that's Grandpa."

Which goes to show even though Grandma is gone

from the physical world,

it doesn't mean she isn't still by your side.

Even though parents pass on and grandparents pass on,

I do believe that they are there to protect people

that they love in the afterlife.

So even though this child is a child now,

when this child turns into a teenager or an adult,

those ancestral spirit-guide energies

of, you know, grandmas or parents that have passed on

will always be there with you.

Coming up, where on Earth did this man just come from?

100 years ago, it was probably impossible

for the average person to conceive of the technology

that became the television.

50 years ago, the average person could never have imagined

that there'd be something called a smartphone.

And even today, most people have trouble

wrapping their heads around the idea...

...of human teleportation.

But what if we told you that it's not only possible,

it's already happening?

May 5, 2012, in Russia.

An 18-wheeler travels at a high speed along a highway,

when suddenly...

it's forced to dramatically swerve.

Did you catch why?

Watch again -- closely.

A man wearing a lab coat

appears to pop up in the middle of the road

and continue to walk in a zombie-like state.

Watch it one more time.

Where did he come from?

How is this possible?

Next up, May 2018, in Surat Thani Province, Thailand.

A vehicle's dash cam records

a highway drive in the middle of the night,

when suddenly...

the image of a man seemingly materializes from nowhere

in the center of the road.

The car drives directly through him.

Not into -- through.

Finally, January 2020, in Japan.

A dash cam records this.

The image of a woman suddenly appearing

in the middle of a crosswalk of a busy road

where, despite being nearly struck by several vehicles,

she, like the people in the other videos,

seems completely unbothered.

With all 3 of these clips, the question must be asked --

what exactly did we just see?

Each figure appears solid and real,

unlike an apparition or ghost.

So, then, could we actually

be witnessing acts of human teleportation?

Videos like this are, I think, some of the most thrilling

and sort of shocking ones that we've seen.

The figure that appears in the middle of the road

is wearing a white lab coat.

That definitely captured my attention

because, you know, it makes me wonder,

is that a scientist who was testing out

some new type of technology?

If so, that means that someone has unlocked incredible power

that is far beyond what we currently understand.

What's really exciting about this clip from Thailand

is the fact that you can actually see

the person's reflection in the hood of the vehicle.

He's dead in front of it.

They drive completely through him,

yet I guarantee you that person was in that image,

he was in that video, he was on that road.

I don't understand it, but, man, that creeps me out.

This clip from Japan -- it's chilling.

If this is a living person,

it would be very hard to believe.

I mean, that is pretty explainable.

I mean, you don't know what's going on here.

Even the guy that was in the 18-wheeler

that this woman passed in front of actually pulls over

to the side of the road to see if he hit this person or not.

I actually have several different friends

who have told me of various times

when they were driving at night, very tired and exhausted,

and felt like they almost ran over somebody.

And they always chalked it up to simply a hallucination

that they were seeing at night.

But after seeing these videos, now I'm wondering,

what if there were really people that they saw?

But if so, how?

Teleportation is a theory that you can move matter

from one place to another

without actually having to physically do it.

If you have ever seen "Willy Wonka,"

you know exactly how teleportation works.

It works exactly like TV.

Particles are torn apart,

they go through the waves, and then they go into your TV

and then rejoin and become a picture.

So if we can figure out how to achieve that

on a biological level

and not just an engineered level,

we're teleporting.

We're teleporting, baby!

It actually extends into the paranormal world

further than you would think.

Many Bigfoot researchers actually believe

that the creature has the ability to teleport

or simply disappear.

Now, many of these stories are accompanied

with orbs of light and UFOs,

so there's also the suggestion that it may be an alien

of some sort or interdimensional traveler.

So that may explain why they're able to teleport,

and in turn could explain why some humans are able to as well.

One of my favorite explanations of teleportation

is the multiverse.

There are different versions of this universe, this reality

happening in tandem with us,

and it's possible that there could be a rift in our reality

where we can view into other realities.

Or maybe it's not teleportation, but something similar.

Here's a wild thought.

Could this be a time traveler arriving or returning?

Right now it's considered impossible by scientists

because to reverse time

would not just be reversing the time for the traveler,

but for every atom in the universe,

and that, as we understand it, is impossible.

But what if this is evidence that someone can do it?

There are many possibilities.

But if we are actually witnessing

a new age of teleportation, one polite request.

If somebody out there has mastered the art of it,

I just wish they would come up with a better place

to drop their subjects than in front of my moving car.

Coming up, a ghost dog joins its owner for a stroll.

Many pet owners develop bonds with their pets

that are as strong or stronger

than any they develop with people.

So it's no surprise that losing a pet

is one of the most traumatic experiences

a person can go through.

But what if when your pet dies, it isn't quite yet ready

to go to that great outdoor park in the sky?

A woman in Kentucky seems to have captured proof

that one recently deceased dog from her neighborhood

never actually left.

February 2018 in Louisville, Kentucky.

Melissa Murray is watching the monitor of a security camera

attached to the front of her house

when she sees a dog meandering up the sidewalk,

its owner in tow, close behind.

But just then...

Did you catch that?

Watch again,

as a second, seemingly transparent dog runs behind,

almost as if it's trying to catch up

to the first dog and its owner.

Melissa is stunned.

I'm Melissa Murray, and yes,

I found the video on my security cameras.

I seen this little dog walking down the street,

and then I seen this person walking right behind the dog.

And then a few seconds later,

I seen this other dog, and it had a shadow.

You see it on the video.

But as it get in front of my house,

it just disappeared out of thin air.

I was, like, shaking my head

'cause I couldn't believe what I saw.

And then I told my son, I said, "You got to run that camera back

because I don't think I seen

what I'm really actually seeing,"

'cause I thought that something was wrong with my eyes

because I couldn't believe what I seen, you know?

The dog just disappear out of thin air, you know.

I was really emotional, more or less.

You can clearly see there's a small dog

walking after the people when the dog walk by.

What is it?

It seemed to disappear,

fades in and out of existence, I guess.

So, what is this?

Is this like an after image burned into the video?

If that were the case,

then the person walking the dog should be in the video, too,

but there's no person.

It's just clear as day.

The camera doesn't seem to be malfunctioning in any way.

Everything in the frame of the camera looks very solid.

Now, the detail that I really paid attention to

was the movements of the two dogs.

They were similar, but definitely separate.

The first dog trots across

and clearly sees that there's somebody standing there,

stops to sniff him, and then continues,

and we see the owner walking by.

The second dog seems to be rushing to catch up.

The apparition of the dog is also moving a lot faster

than the living dog.

You know, it almost seems as if it's moving

without any restrictions, like it's floating.

To me, what I'm seeing here is an intelligent haunt of a dog.

This is a dog that had a routine and is excited,

he's got a little pep in his step,

and he wants to go on a walk with this human

and his other little dog friend.

And, yeah, he's just following suit.

To me, it looks like the spirit dog wants to play,

wants to catch up with the other dogs in the neighborhood.

But who was this spirit dog,

and what did he want with the living dog and its owner?

Couple days after that,

I seen the lady walking down the street,

and I stopped her and asked her, I said,

"Was you walking two dogs or one?"

Because I wanted to make sure it wasn't my camera.

And she said she was walking onedog.

So I showed her the little, small footage

of what I captured,

and she watched it, and she was more or less tearing up.

She couldn't believe what she's seeing.

She said, "You know what?

A week prior to that,

I had just put my dog down after 15 years.

I loved that dog, and I know he loved me."

She asked me for the little, small footage

so she can show her friends

because she couldn't believe what she saw.

As a dog dad of two,

this both breaks my heart and gives me a lot of hope.

I want to believe that my little guys are out there,

if they want to be, still following me along for a walk.

We hear from pet owners all the time

telling us that after their pet,

whether a dog or a cat or something more exotic,

after they pass on,

they can still feel their presence there.

Something that's really common is

they'll be sleeping in their bed

and they'll feel a little depression

as if their pet has, like, laid down next to them.

I had a little, tiny Chihuahua I had for 14 years,

and after we had to put him down,

there were days when I'd be in my apartment

here in New York City and I could swear

I would hear him shaking his head.

His big, giant ears would flop up against his head.

And I heard that for months after he went down.

What causes these visitations?

Why do they happen when they do?

One of the theories is that perhaps a spirit

isn't ready to let go,

isn't done here, isn't prepared to move on to that next step.

So, the next time you're forced to make a difficult decision

about the future of your pet,

just know there might be a silver lining.

Animals -- and especially dogs and cats, these animals --

it's unconditional love.

You know, it's unconditional love that they feel for you.

So maybe they're gonna try and hang around

for as long as they can.

And I hope that's the case.

Coming up, a government security camera

catches sight of a Bigfoot.

Aside from Bigfoot's unique physical characteristics...

...perhaps the most common trait attributed

to the legendary cryptid is its reclusiveness.

That might be because whenever we try to find one,

it seems to know we're there.

That's why this footage recorded by

an unmanned stationary camera in Washington state

is so compelling.

Because when no humans are around,

Bigfoot might not be so reclusive after all.

It's the winter of 2020 in Snoqualmie Pass, Washington.

Along the I-90 wildlife overcrossing,

a Washington State Department of Transportation camera

captures this.

An ape-like creature trudging up the hill, away from the camera.

At one point, it stops completely and turns around,

almost as if it senses the camera is there,

before disappearing over the hill

and back into the abyss.

So, what exactly was this creature?

Well, it looked like a Bigfoot to me.

What you're seeing is a bipedal humanoid creature

covered in hair.

By all accounts, that's a Bigfoot.

It has all of the characteristics

that we think of when we think of Sasquatch.

It's very tall, it's broad and hulking

and covered with hair from head to toe.

It sort of lumbers up over this rise

and seems to be very comfortable in its own environment.

Well, one thing that I notice that was different

about this video than other Bigfoot captures

is that you can actually see the limbs.

I feel like with all the other footage that I see,

you just sort of see a dark, vague silhouette.

Here you can actually see the body a little bit more clearly.

As he walks across the overpass,

he pauses to look back.

Do you ever feel somebody watching you?

Do you ever feel that sensation on your neck where

"Ooh. I'm being watched" and you turn around to look.

Maybe he has this sense that something is observing him

and he turns around to look.

And when he does, it doesn't seem to be

a person wearing a hat or a suit or something.

It definitely seems to be simian.

That pose right there is very reminiscent

of the 1967 Patterson-Gimlin film

where those two cowboys obviously caught the creature

walking across a sandbar

and it gave that iconic turn to look at them.

I couldn't help but notice the similarities.

McNEILL: That turn, that sense of awareness

of "I know I'm being watched, I know I'm being filmed,

I know you can see me,"

is one of the most compelling moments in these things,

because wildlife will often not react in that same way.

And that's one of those small, little nuances that gives us

that uncanny feeling that we're seeing something special.

There are also two more reasons to feel that way.

One is the source.

It was captured by a state-run video camera.

The Washington State Transportation Department

actually set this thing up to kind of monitor

different road conditions and that kind of thing,

and that's how they caught this thing.

So that kind of lends some credibility to it a bit.

You don't think they would be faking footage

on a state-run camera.

The other is the location.

This was captured in Washington, and the Pacific Northwest

is sort of notorious for Bigfoot sightings.

And there's hundreds of sightings every year,

and this may be yet another.

Native Americans have been telling these stories

thousands of years ago about

these big, hairy, bipedal creatures that roam in the area.

Based on the clarity and steadiness of this video,

perhaps our Bigfoot-hunting strategy going forward should be

set up a camera...

and wait.

Coming up, ghost hunters attempt to contact the spirit...

Will you tell me how you died?

...of a legendary musician.

On October 4, 1970, rock legend Janis Joplin

passed away from a suspected heroin overdose

at the Landmark Motor Hotel in Hollywood, California.

She was just 27 years old.

Nearly half a century later,

the hotel room where Joplin met her untimely demise

serves as something of a shrine for the fans she left behind,

who flock to the room in droves to this day

to pay their respects.

One such fan is paranormal investigator Colin Browen,

who booked a stay in that very room

and attempted to make contact with Janis...

or whoever was still haunting it

and experienced a level of communication

that blew his mind.

Can you tell me in one word how you died?

September 22, 2019, in Hollywood, California.

Colin Browen and his girlfriend, Payton,

are spending the night in room 105

at the Highland Gardens Hotel,

formerly the Landmark Motor Hotel,

where singer Janis Joplin died 49 years earlier.

If any part of her energy is still here,

we just want to contact her and see if we can feel that

or access the memory that she's left here.

My name's Colin Browen,

and I'm the person who shot that video.

Actually, going into the room, if you go to the right,

there's a bathroom and there's a closet area.

Whoa.

And when you open up the closet, there are thousands of messages

that people have written for Janis.

"Janis, I stand here feeling an emotion

so intense, I can't help but cry."

It makes you think and kind of realize

that a lot of the people that stay in this room

and kind of request this Janis Joplin room,

they are bringing their own issues with them

and they're kind of exerting that energy.

It's always interesting when a very, very famous,

beloved person passes away at a particular spot

that other people can go visit.

It just piles on to the energy of these places.

So, we have a person who themselves had

what we could certainly see as a larger-than-life presence,

and that presence has been extinguished.

But perhaps there's still something there.

There's this energy there.

There's a presence of that person there.

And then all of the people, this pilgrimage site

that these locations turn into --

the Landmark Hotel, or Graceland as another example --

just add to that sense of importance and weight

of that particular location.

With that in mind, Colin has an idea.

I'm going to do a Spirit Box,

because I feel like if during this Spirit Box

we can hear any of Janis' music or something like that,

it would be pretty crazy

and conclusive that there is some sort of energy here.

And it doesn't take long for the Spirit Box

to yield the results Colin is looking for.

It's been debated by a lot of people

exactly how you died.

Can you tell me in one word how you died?

You can just speak it. Maybe I'll be able to hear you.

Listen again.

The Spirit Box answers Colin's question

with the words "hurt" and "wasn't expecting it."

I think the "wasn't expecting it" response was,

to me, just hard to process,

because, obviously, she died of an overdose

and her death came at a young age, 27.

Totally shocking and tragic.

And to hear something say "wasn't expecting it"...

...to me, while sitting in the room where she died,

is kind of sad.

Hearing that voice was just so shocking to me,

because I've watched so many interviews that she's done

and I've listened to her music my whole life.

To hear that voice chime through on the ghost box

gave me the chills, because I was like

"that, no doubt in my mind is, like, Janis."

It's, like, so cool.

Hoping to obtain further evidence,

Colin turns to another device.

Set that there, a Paranormal Puck.

And we turn on.

And we set that right here next to it.

And I got my phone here, already ready.

The Paranormal Puck detects a change

in electromagnetic frequency -- EMF -- in the environment

and gives you back a word.

Janis, can you tell me how you died?

'Cause people are always wondering

exactly what happened that night.

If it's you, can you tell me what happened?

"Plants."

And I wasn't even thinking about it at the time,

when I got the word "plants,"

but, obviously, heroin is made from plants.

And it played, obviously, once again,

a major part in the death of Janis.

Asking "are you happy where you are," Janis?

Are you happy?

"Memories."

Colin, the investigator,

makes the immediate connection between heroin and poppies.

Poppies, obviously, are a plant.

And then that word "memories,"

in response to "Are you happy where you are?"

and that sort of nostalgic reply of just "memories."

Asking "are you happy where you are?"

"Memories."

I don't know if she's trying to say

that she's now living in those memories

or she's happy that people are celebrating hermemory.

But either way, the response...

I mean, it could have been anything.

Anything.

Including, perhaps, Janis' fans, rather than Janis herself.

In my opinion, it's not fully Janis.

It's this weird other energy

that has kind of been brought in by these different people.

For someone like Janis Joplin, who has been so important

to so many people over the years --

I don't necessarily think that sheis there,

but most likely, it's the intentions and the feelings

of the people who go there that gets deposited and builds.

And it's not necessarily Janis,

but almost like the adoration of her

that is haunting that location.

As for Colin, he has a theory of his own

on where Janis might be.

Janis loved the stage

and she loved all these different places in her life.

She even loved her car.

So no matter where she died,

I don't think that that would necessarily,

you know, define where she would haunt or come back to visit.

Can you tell me in one word how you died?

Coming up, a fleet of blinking UFOs...

What the is that?

...baffles witnesses below.

For an extraordinary event,

the experience of witnessing a UFO

can be a fairly ordinary tale.

One person sees a flying object in the sky...

Where is it?

...takes out a camera to film it...

I gotcha.

...and voices their amazement over the recording.

Look at that.

Meanwhile, the rest of us

are left to judge the legitimacy of the footage.

Which is why it always helps

when there's more than one witness.

And in the case of one UFO sighting in Louisiana,

there wasmore than one.

In fact, there were 20 other witnesses.

And they all had roughly the same reaction

to what they were seeing.

November 1, 2019, in Shreveport, Louisiana.

Ted Nelams is outside

taking a break from work with colleagues,

when in the skies overhead, they see this.

Flashing white and black specks -- hundreds of them --

hover above, appearing seemingly from nowhere,

baffling the onlookers below.

Unable to figure out what the objects are,

the witnesses continue to rule out what they're not.

The sighting lasts for about 20 minutes.

Then the objects slowly fade away.

My name is Ted Nelams,

and I am the person who filmed this video.

My primary feeling was shocked and excited.

For some reason, I never felt any fear.

It was just "Wow. What are these things in the sky?"

Yep.

There was so many.

Actually, there were way more in the sky

than what the video captured.

That was just what was in my video linked.

There was no sound, no colors other than black and white.

There were about 20 of us out there.

I mean, we were just left with amazement.

This is an incredible capture.

I don't know what we're looking at,

but these seem to be some sort of flickering lights

or white objects very high up in the sky.

What are these things?

I can say what they're probably not.

They don't appear to be birds.

They don't appear to be balloons.

They're certainly not planes or helicopters.

They don't seem to be drones.

And they're certainly not flares.

So, you have these hundreds and hundreds

of what look like white crafts flying in the sky.

Manned somehow, because they're flying intentionally.

They're not just floating around, like balloons would.

And then you see these little black crafts

that are kind of floating around the white crafts,

almost documenting them.

Anything paranormal happening during the day

is rare and amazing to catch,

especially when dealing with UFO sightings,

because they deal in discretion.

The point of a UFO is to be unidentified.

They don't want to be seen, or else we would know about that.

This might be communication.

Who are we to say that any other life form,

any other intelligence

would communicate the same way as we do?

Perhaps this flashing of lights is very much like a binary code

where they think they're saying "hello."

They think they're saying something to us

and they're wondering "Why don't the humans understand?"

Whatever these things were,

they left Ted and the other witnesses -- all of them --

absolutely dumbfounded.

We are dealing in the paranormal, and you have to

take human reaction into consideration.

And you can't ignore this group's reaction

to what they're seeing.

There's a very clear, very visceral reaction

to whatever's happening in the sky,

and you have to trust that.

Ted has his own theory about what he saw that day.

And it's not what you might expect.

I'm religious, and I believe in God,

and so, then, I believe in the adversary.

And so I know that God fights battles for me.

And when I initially sent the video,

right after filming it, to my oldest son,

that was his first impression also --

"Dad, I believe those are angels and demons."

If you look at the video,

the white objects appear to be attacking the black objects.

And so, having watched it many, many times now,

I believe this was some type of holy war that we caught

in a third, fourth, fifth realm.

That's my belief now.

What should you do in the event

you witness something paranormal?

Here are some tips to get it all on camera.

Always expect the unexpected.

Check your security footage.

Then, check it again.

Gather as many witnesses as possible.

- Balloons don't go that high. - They don't go that high.

And if you do catch something, email us at...

...and connect with us on social media.

Your footage could be seen right here,

on "Paranormal Caught On Camera."
