Next on "Paranormal Caught on Camera..."

A former pub in England...

...with spirits around every corner.

off!

There is more happening within this dwelling

than meets the eye.

A man in Louisiana is terrorized by a Skunk Ape.

It's disturbing.

I have nightmares about it.

A motel in Nevada where the ghosts...

His hand just moved.

...like to clown around.

Whoa! Both hands fell!

You put clowns and spirits together --

that's going to make anybody's hairs raise.

A police officer gets harassed...

Can i put you in this jail cell?

...by spirits in a haunted prison?

I immediately just got goose bumps

and like a nauseous feeling. I'm like, "What was that?"

And even more paranormal footage

you have to see to believe.

Do clowns make you uncomfortable?

If so, you're not alone.

In fact, nearly 8% of the population suffers

from an extreme fear of clowns, otherwise known as coulrophobia.

If you are one of these people,

let us warn you about a motel in Nevada

that's not only overflowing with more than 2,000 clowns,

it's also extremely haunted.

His hand just moved.

Whoa! Both hands fell.

September 2019. Tonopah, Nevada.

Situated in the middle of the desert,

Tonopah is an old mining town with a tragic history.

Many lives were lost due to a plague in 1905

and the mine fire that broke out in 1911.

Those who perished were buried in the old Tonopah cemetery.

Over the years, some of the fragile headstones deteriorated

and were lost to age and weather.

In 1985, the Clown Motel was built next door,

and, some believe,

right on top of many of those unmarked grave sites.

So it's no surprise the place is said to be teeming

with activity.

Paranormal investigators Celia Ramos

and Johnathan Isenhour are here,

hoping to capture some of it on camera.

My name is Johnathan.

My name is Celia.

And this is our video.

There's a life-sized clown that's there

that's said to be haunted and reported to move on its own.

So, poltergeist activity

is really what led us to the Clown Motel.

As part of their investigation,

Celia interviews the owner of the motel.

Between them is a life-sized clown

that Celia and Johnathan both know to be haunted.

Now, two years ago, we were here

and we actually captured his hand move

while chatting with one of the hotel guests.

Has he moved for you while you've been here?

Just a few minutes into the interview,

Celia has to abruptly stop.

I need to stop. I'm sorry.

What's wrong?

I've got, like... heart palpitations

real strong and, like, I feel nauseous,

and I feel like I need to...

I needed to stop talking.

During the interview, I kind of felt like

I was being suffocated at one point,

and I didn't feel comfortable.

And that's when the burning started to occur on my chest.

My chest felt like it was hot, and, like, burning.

And... Like, I feel jittery right now, also.

When you interact with the paranormal fairly regularly,

you will come across these moments where

you will become overwhelmed, at times, by energies.

My hands, as you can see, they're shaky.

And I don't know why. It's like anxiety.

And she is dealing with

all the very, very, very telltale symptoms --

of the nausea, the head spinning, the body shakes.

Things like that happen all the time

to investigators on location.

After Celia starts feeling better,

they return to the office to begin a spirit box session

and, almost immediately, they get results.

Can you do that with the hand?

Move it? OK.

Can you move the hands now?

Do it.

While we were sitting there,

we were getting multiple voices

come through and speak to us.

Intelligent replies.

I felt the wood thump back here.

Felt a thump?Was it...

"That's me."

Are you still here?

I'm tired? She's tired?

OK. Alright, can respect that.

Their ghost box hits are pretty substantial,

and I've been to that town and it's in the middle of nowhere.

And so when you're using a ghost box in Tonopah,

you are not getting any radio frequencies

from radio channels or anything --

it's just straight-up white noise.

And the fact that we're getting full-on sentences...

I'm tired?

It goes to show that these energies are intelligent --

that they're able to interact and they understand,

you know, the living when they ask questions.

I'm going to put my hand right here, OK?

Whatever? Yeah.

After about an hour, and feeling a bit worn out,

they stopped the session.

But as they're packing up their equipment,

they leave the cameras rolling

and capture this.

Really? It's down.

It just moved, I just watched it.

Whoa! Both hands fell! Thank you!

Holy!

...joy, excitement, and a little creepy

at the same time.

Oh, it was just an energy rush.

When you have something like that -- poltergeist activity

that investigators and researchers and all that

look for their entire lives,

and to have it right then and there --

and not once but twice -- it's just overwhelming.

If it's the spirit of a clown,

that clown is just messing with these people.

Come on. You can do this.

The more you ask something,

it's kind of kid sister behavior --

Somebody's like, "Can you go do this?

Can you go do this?" And you just stone face ignore them,

until the moment they turn around,

and then you're like, "Yeah, sure."

His hand just moved.

Really?It's down.

Whoa! Both hands fell! Thank you!

Holy!

Now feeling like they got even more than they expected,

Celia and Johnathan call it a night.

We had so much activity that entire night,

but ending it with the hands moving was just amazing.

You know, it was incredible, and I honestly didn't expect it,

but I'm glad I left those two cameras rolling or else

we wouldn't have captured, and that's what we were there for.

Whoa!

Holy!

Coming up...

is this the howl...

...of a Skunk Ape?

The swamp -- a great place for wildlife to hide out

and not be disturbed by humans,

because it's nearly impossible to build on

due to the impenetrable foliage and soft, marshy landscape.

Which also makes it the perfect habitat

for a seven-foot-tall, hairy, Bigfoot-like creature

looking for some privacy.

Otherwise known as...

The Skunk Ape.

But recently, a man in Louisiana

may have captured proof that this shy cryptid

is venturing out of the swamp and into his backyard.

June 2018, in southern Louisiana.

Carl Gautreaux and his family live about a quarter-mile away

from the largest swamp in the U.S. --

it's called the Atchafalaya.

Recently, there's been something disturbing his dogs

in the back yard and eating their food.

My name is Carl and these are my videos.

For years, stuff was going on, and we just passed it off,

"Oh, it's the neighbors making noise" -- whatever, you know,

people use to rationalize this kind of stuff.

Big thing that clued us in was on December 4th.

I came home from work to feed my dogs

and I found this 17-inch human-looking footprint

underneath the patio.

I just knew it wasn't my foot, my son's foot.

So I got in touch with a guy

who does this kind of stuff, researching,

and he told me right away, he says, "Yeah,"

he said, "I think that's a Skunk Ape track."

A Skunk Ape track --

this obviously worries Carl.

So he positions his security camera

on top of his dog's kennel,

thinking that whatever was in his yard

will eventually come back.

And sure enough...

Watch as what appears to be a head with two eyes

pops up over the fence between the tree

and the shed.

When Carl reviews the footage,

he is terrified.

'Cause the fence is six-foot boards

and it's two inches off the ground,

so anything above that fence

is automatically going to be 6'2".

Whatever we see poking its head over the other side

has got to be massive -- we're talking 7-8 feet here.

It's certainly something that's within the size capabilities

of a Bigfoot or even a Skunk Ape or Swamp Ape,

for that matter.

And that's not all.

On another night,

the camera captures these bone-chilling sounds.

If this isn't a cryptid, I don't know what it is,

because it doesn't seem like the sound

of any of the other large, native wildlife of that region.

It doesn't sound like a black bear or a cougar.

These are sort of the largest creatures

that that are in that natural habitat,

so when you rule out those, what have you got left?

Well, according to some locals, a Skunk Ape.

But if that is what it is, what does it want?

This could be simply that it's looking for food and knows

that if it goes in certain houses, that it can find food.

I really don't believe we are the only house they hit.

I think they have built up a relationship with my dogs.

I have one video where you hear something come through the tree

almost like something was thrown through the tree.

You can see my dog go over,

sniff it, eat it -- whatever it was.

So maybe it's a bribe to keep him quiet --

I really don't know.

Maybe the dogs themselves are attracting this creature.

There's a lot of legends throughout the United States

of these Bigfoot-like creatures attacking,

killing, and sometimes even eating domestic dogs.

Let's hope not.

Whether they have a Skunk Ape in the backyard remains unclear,

but one thing's for sure...

...Carl is not taking it lightly.

I hate to admit this,

but I sleep with a loaded shotgun.

I mean, it's disturbing. I have, basically, nightmares about it.

We're just trying to warn other people --

do some research, then make a decision for yourself.

That's my worst fear, that, you know, that a mom and dad

with a child runs into one of these things in the woods.

Because I'm gonna tell you now, they do exist. They do exist.

Coming up...

An ancient inn...

...with a noisy ghost.

Oh, off!

In England, there's a property that many consider

to be one of the most haunted locations in the country --

The Ancient Ram Inn.

Built in 1145, it was originally the home of a priest,

and later went on to become a motel and pub.

According to reports,

the structure was built on ancient pagan burial grounds,

and throughout its almost 900-year history,

it's been the rumored site of witch burnings,

ritual sacrifice,

and demonic presence.

Recently, a team of ghost hunters

went to this house of horrors to investigate.

And what they found scared them...

...silly.

August 2020, in Gloucestershire, England.

After a successful first visit,

paranormal investigators Tony Ferguson and Paul Cissell

have returned to the Ancient Ram Inn

to gather more evidence.

My name is Paul.My name is Tony.

And this is our video.

We'd actually visited a week before,

believe it or not, and so much activity happened.

So we're going back to try to bungle up the stuff,

that's when we came back, and it just literally

all kicked off in the first hour.

Tony and Paul start out on the first floor

in the former stables, called the Mayflower Barn,

where physical attacks by mysterious entities

have been reported.

Today, the two are attempting to communicate

with the spirit of a young child named James,

who reportedly haunts the building.

Is this James?

To do that, they're using a REM Pod.

REM Pod stands for Radiating Energy Module.

What it does, it sets up an EM field around it,

so that anything coming into the field

will set off lights and an alarm.

This is one of those trap devices that we use

just to try to encourage interaction.

Is that the children?

Are you playing?

James?

It doesn't take long for them to get a response.

Oh, OK.

Are you six years old?

Yes, you are.

Then, one of the team's closed circuit cameras

in another room begins to glitch.

I'm just going to check on the camera,

just to make sure it is still running.

So Tony goes to fix it, leaving Paul by himself

to try to communicate with James

or any other spirits that might be dwelling in the old barn.

Those spirits that are here,

please, can you let me know you're around?

Can you manifest around me in some way?

So while he was gone, we had our normal camera

still focused on myself,

so just while I was on my own there,

I carried on calling out.

"Here are the devices, please,

can you follow what I am doing

and react to the devices?"

So as I'm touching them,

can you do the same in order to light them up

or to make some kind of audible noise?

I'm going to set the equipment off again.

And here's where things become truly terrifying.

Listen again,

as a deafening bang nearly makes Paul jump out of his skin.

I don't get fazed by things like this,

but that scared me.

I think, in situations like this,

when you're calling upon a spirit to communicate with you

and then it does -- definitely don't take that as coincidence.

The interesting thing was nobody else heard it,

even though you can quite clearly hear it on camera.

Oh, off!

Tony said, "I didn't hear it."

Now, that's weird --

when there is a noise that is not something

that is absolutely obvious to one person,

and someone else who's close enough

that they would absolutely hear any natural noise --

if they don't hear anything,

that is a significant piece of evidence,

because that suggests either the targeting of the first person --

that was something only for them to hear --

or some sort of barrier around that particular space.

Tony and Paul were freaked out,

but determined to continue the investigation.

So they moved to the attic, where some say

a former innkeeper's daughter was murdered.

And suddenly things get really weird.

There we are, two adults who would normally be...

Serious, yup....quite serious...

...on an investigation,

and suddenly, there we are, uncontrollably,

as if we've just knocked quite a few whiskeys back.

There we are, suddenly sort of out of control,

where we're laughing and being very, very jovial,

and no matter how much we tried to stop it...

We can't.

This is often an indication that the entities,

the spirits that are in this room,

are actually pulling energy from the investigators,

which makes them feel light-headed and a little woozy

and almost feeling like they are drunk.

The bizarre laughing fit wipes Tony and Paul out,

and they decide to call it a night,

both leaving with a new perspective

on the Ancient Ram Inn.

So myself, the Ram Inn,

I was very skeptical about the stories being told,

just the whole experience in general.

It definitely changed my eyes to the location.

It's one I'm never going to forget,

that's for sure.

There is more happening within this dwelling

than probably we understand and meets the eye.

This is something that is worth

going back to investigate,

and I will do in the future,

obviously, we will do together.

Oh, off!

Coming up...

Are these UFOs...

Whoa, what's that?

...spying on Fort Knox?

That's UFOs.

Bro, what the.

Fort Knox is a U.S. Army base in Kentucky.

It's also where over half of the country's gold reserves

are stored.

To say that it's one of the most well-guarded

and protected places in the U.S. is an understatement.

So, when a bright, cone-shaped UFO

was spotted near here in 1948,

the Air National Guard

immediately sent a pilot to investigate.

That incident became one of the most publicized UFO reports

in U.S. history because, sadly,

the pilot lost his life pursuing it.

Recently, footage of another UFO

in the Fort Knox area has surfaced,

leaving many to wonder

if it has anything to do with the fortified vault building.

I've never seen that before.

Whoa! What's that?

August 2020, Vine Grove, Kentucky.

Cody Jobe and his brother

are finishing up work for the day

when they spot three large, bright-white lights in the sky.

JOBE:, I've never seen that before.

What is over it?

Whoa, what the...

There it is, that's UFOs.

Bro, what the? I got that on video, too.

Did you?Yeah.

That's UFOs for sure, man.

My name is Cody and this is my video.

The red lights were actually a radio tower.

They were in another subdivision just right next to ours,

so that was actually really close.

The white lights were probably another 10 miles or so,

it seemed like. They were in the general area of Fort Knox.

They were a lot further away than those red lights,

but they actually seemed brighter than them.

That kind of stood out to me, too,

was how bright they actually were.

What is over it?

Looks like cloud or something.

Whoa! What's that?

I really wasn't sure what they were.

We just kind of watched them for a couple of minutes,

maybe thinking, you know, they could have been

like Chinese lanterns or something like that.

Yeah.

Oh, one just appeared again.

As soon as they started appearing

and then disappearing and everything, I kind of knew

that it was something definitely a little bit different.

The silent and curious lights remained in the sky

for about ten minutes after Cody stopped recording.

Later, he watched the footage over and over again,

trying to figure out what they were,

but wasn't able to come up with anything.

After watching the video a whole bunch,

definitely didn't look like anything like Chinese lanterns

or flares or anything like that,

so it was definitely kind of a surreal feeling.

But Cody did have a suspicion

that whatever it was was somehow related

to a nearby landmark --

namely, Fort Knox.

That's one of the things that definitely intrigued me too.

It was more over towards the Fort Knox area --

that kind of caught my attention.

Just uttering the two words, "Fort Knox,"

you assume that there's going to be technology,

military hardware, security in play

that maybe this is part of.

Maybe this is something we don't know about or haven't seen yet.

Or maybe this is an attempt

by some other force to encroach upon those grounds.

Fort Knox, as we know, is a home of a lot of gold,

which is very valuable to humans.

It would make sense to me that

these aliens, or UFO activity, would happen in this area.

If these are extraterrestrial craft of any kind,

they're certainly not trying to hide from us.

I mean, you don't turn on a bright white light

if you're looking

to surreptitiously observe a military base.

They keep appearing and disappearing.

They're super bright.

What is this light source?

Like, where is this coming from?

Is this one individual craft amongst several,

or are all of these lights part of one craft?

I think if we were to get closer to these balls of light,

or UFOs, we would start to see that it actually, in fact,

is a triangular shape.

And if these aren't indeed manmade crafts,

why are they within our flight spaces?

That's a very good question.

Cody has a theory.

As big as the universe is, the possibilities are endless.

My best guess is that it's not actually, like, an alien craft

or an alien species,

it's more like a... like an artificial intelligence,

and they come here to actually study us

because they don't have any more organic life on their planet

or, you know, anywhere near them.

So we're the closest thing

that they can kind of study, I think.

What makes it scary to think about

is what is that intel for?

What's the intention behind all of this observation?

These are questions we may never know the answers to.

Regardless, Cody is just thrilled to have seen

what many people don't get to see in a lifetime.

I've always been really interested

with the sky and space and everything,

so I've always been looking at the sky.

So it was kind of cool seeing that. This was my first one,

you know, being 22 years old and everything.

And he is hoping it won't be the last.

Whenever we're working back in that subdivision,

I kind of keep my eyes up in the sky

a little bit more at night.

Whoa, what's that?

There it is! That's UFOs!

Bro, what the?

Coming up...

Spirits taunt a police officer...

...in a former Detroit slammer.

Can I put you in this jail cell?

In Detroit, there's an abandoned building that

was the former location of the 6th Police Precinct,

frequently used to house prisoners.

Known as the MacGraw station,

the building dates back to the early 1930s,

and was the site of prisoner deaths

and police officer suicides.

Eventually abandoned in 2005,

the property was purchased in 2014

with plans to convert the building into a data center.

But, as renovations began, there was a spike in bizarre,

unexplained events

that many believed were paranormal.

Some construction workers were so freaked out,

they immediately walked off the job.

A team of ghost hunters has been thoroughly investigating

the site for quite some time, and what they discovered

will make your skin crawl.

Can I put you in this jail cell?

It's 2020, in Detroit, Michigan.

Joseph Warner and his team of paranormal investigators

have returned to the Motor City's

former 6th Police Precinct,

a place they've been investigating

for a year and a half.

My name is Joseph and this is my video.

I've been there probably about 20 or so times, if not more.

It's actually a very weird feeling -- when you walk in,

it's like a sudden impact of just sadness and anger.

The old MacGraw precinct

saw more than 70 years of action,

and in that time there was corruption, suicide,

murders, riots.

So, of course, all of those things together

are part of the paranormal playbook

for a haunting.

There's been rocks thrown.

There's been people scratched.

There's been people pushed downstairs.

Just about anything you can think of

has actually happened there.

The case with many places that are said to be haunted --

when you start to redevelop them,

you tend to stir up the spiritual activity within them.

Tonight, Joseph is sleeping over.

his bed is on the hallway floor, surrounded by 10 jail cells.

Next to him is a Spirit Box,

a device that scans radio frequencies,

which spirits then use to piece together words

in order to communicate.

Joseph drifts off to sleep.

Then at 3:00 A.M., watch closely as something startles him.

Watch again in slow motion

as an orb flashes for a moment right by Joseph's head.

I woke up out of a dead sleep,

and as soon as I woke up, the spirit box went off,

and I had my flashlight and I looked around

because I felt like there was someone standing on top of me.

And I kind of woke up in a panic.

After realizing no one was there,

I tried to go back to sleep. I had a bag of protection,

kind of grabbed it, put it to my chest,

and then I just went to sleep from there

and nothing bothered me for the rest of the night.

But the next day, Joseph is bothered

by what he sees when he plays back the footage

and realizes what had woken him up.

I was reviewing the footage

and I immediately just got goosebumps

and like a nauseous feeling. I'm like, "What was that?"

So I actually clipped the static camera feed,

put it into a few programs to zoom in and enhance it,

and when I actually saw what it was and I still...

I honestly couldn't believe my eyes,

there's no way that that's what came out

and hit me in the middle of the night.

To me, it looks, like, almost like a skull --

it had a distinct features of two eyes and a mouth.

It doesn't look like a happy face.

Usually when we see light anomalies,

they are things only noticed in retrospect --

when someone's reviewing footage.

It's usually not something that anyone sees or is aware of.

But again, we have that overlap of evidence --

so something wakes him up,

and when we go back and look at the video,

we can see this bright light -- that's really compelling.

Joseph believes the reason the skull-like apparition

came at him has to do with his profession.

I was a state trooper in South Carolina

before moving to Michigan and

I became a police officer in Michigan.

A spirit can often see pretty much everything,

so these spirits could tell that there's law enforcement

in the room, and they're not happy about it.

And the EVPs that Joseph and his team

managed to capture on subsequent visits seem to back that up.

Here, he tries to interact with whoever

or whatever is present by incorporating the cells.

Can I put you in this jail cell?

Dude.

Do you need to go in the jail cell?

I find it fascinating that the investigator himself

is a police officer.

He serves as a walking, talking trigger object

with which potential spirits can interact.

They're aggressive towards cops,

but they're also coming from hardened criminals

inside of a jailhouse,

so it's possible that could be residual energy

in that's just rhetoric that they were repeating in life.

I don't think their ideas have changed.

Joe could have been any cop.

Whether the spirits have a problem

with Joseph specifically or not, he does not feel in any danger

and plans to continue his investigation

for as long as it takes.

Nothing scares me.

Nothing's going to stop me from ever entering these buildings

or doing things to try to capture good evidence.

Can I put you in this jail cell?

Coming up...

Could this be a city in the clouds?

Since the dawn of time,

man has envisioned a sacred place among the clouds,

whether it be a palace for the gods of ancient Rome or Greece,

or a heaven where we reunite with ancestors

after our time here on Earth is done.

Regardless of one's beliefs,

it serves as a comforting thought

that there is some kind of life beyond the confines of Earth.

And recently, in China,

some startling evidence has come to light

that suggests that these sacred places in the clouds

may, in fact, be very, very real.

October 2015, in Foshan, China.

It's an overcast but otherwise relatively-normal day

in the city, until something in the sky

brings everything to a halt.

This.

Watch again as what appears

to be an entire city skyline floats

in a layer of clouds above the city.

The hundreds of witnesses watching from below are stunned.

Then, just a few moments later, it is gone.

What was it?

If this were just a report told by numerous people

that were in a same locale at the same time,

I could understand that maybe it was mass hysteria.

Maybe they were all feeding into each other.

But when have you ever heard mass hysteria caught on camera?

If you look at ancient texts about

cities in the skies

or how heaven's an ancient city in the clouds --

I think that when we see something like this,

it just brings all of that narrative into reality.

Like, are we possibly looking at Heaven?

Or could this be a reflection being projected at us

from some higher intelligence?

Maybe.

But when a similar phenomenon happens in 2019

along China's Hongze lake, there's a twist.

The buildings that you see here on the other side of the lake

have just appeared out of thin air,

and if you look closely, they seem to be ancient.

And if you're having any doubts,

take note of the modern-day wind turbine here.

Now, look at another shot just moments later.

The wind turbine is still there, but the city has vanished.

There seems to be no cohesion

between the images that we're seeing --

it seems like what we're looking at

is a conglomeration of all time and space.

Like, there's no timeline that it exists on,

so is it every timeline?

Are we looking at a rift in time and space

that is exposing that this area, this spot of the world

is the entire concept of time?

We're looking at the circle of time.

We're looking at all time happening at the same time.

Trippy.

But whether a glimpse of Heaven,

a view into the past, or something else entirely,

one thing's for sure --

mankind's search for life in the skies will never end.

Humans have always looked to the skies

and seen things up there, including cities.

And I think it speaks to this innate human desire

to find purpose in the clouds above.

Whatever it is, it excites the imagination and makes you think,

"OK, all the things that we wonder about...

maybe."

What should you do in the event

you witness something paranormal?

Here are some tips to get it all on camera.

Keep your eyes on the skies.

Bro, what the?

Never stop recording, even when you're scared.

Oh, off!

Trust that what you're seeing...

His hand just moved.

...is is no joke.

Whoa!
