Next on Paranormal Caught on Camera...

A college student reckons with a roommate...

Oh, my God!

...who's a ghost.

My heart dropped when I looked at it, and I was just like, "Oh, my God,

I'm going to die."

A Saudi Arabian ghost hunter is confronted by a powerful spirit known as a Jinn.

This man knows he should not be poking around

in a location inhabited by Jinn.

Is this evidence of a legendary Chinese lake monster?

This thing was big, and this thing was moving fast.

It was clearly an actual creature in the water.

- A woman is stunned...

...by mysterious white objects in the sky.

Are they angels?

I felt like it was the Lord's angels just watching over us.

And even more paranormal footage

you have to see...

...to believe.

When most people look back on their college experience,

they usually reminisce about a wild fraternity party,

epic sporting event or an all-night study session for a final exam.

But one student in Arizona has a much more unique memory

to add to her scrapbooks.

Because she got a crash course...

I heard a creak.

...in Paranormal 101,

when she discovered that one of her roommates...

No, stop.

- ...was a ghost.

March 2020,

near the University of Arizona campus in Tucson.

Bianca Concepcion is in her friend's apartment,

playing with her dogs while her friend showers.

Suddenly a creepy noise catches her attention.

So she takes out her phone and starts to record.

I'm all by myself in the living room in that room right there.

The door has been opened and...

Oh, my God!

Watch again as a door to one of the bedrooms slams by itself.

The door has been opened and...

Oh, my God!

Bianca may be laughing, but she's freaked out.

After calming her nerves, she opens the door and films again.

I reopen the door...

Stop!

No, I don't play that.

No.

No, stop! you. No!

My name is Bianca, and I have recorded these videos.

It just went bam!

For a second, my heart dropped and I looked at it, and I was just like,

"Oh, my God, I'm gonna die."

Oh, my God!

That's right, folks. I am laughing, but I was like...

Oh, my God, I'm just like-- Hey, people are going to think it's fake.

To confirm that what she's seeing is not fake,

she immediately films another video,

this time from within the room where the door slammed.

Ooh, the third part.

Okay, I'm going to show you that no one is in there.

I opened the bathroom door. I looked behind the door.

No one was there.

Look it, look it, we see nobody's supposed to be in this room.

Nobody. It's empty!

Nobody lives in this room and this room is locked.

And when her friend finally gets out of the shower, Bianca has one message.

Like, "Dude, your apartment is haunted."

This is not just a little draft

in the room pushing the door shut.

This is a good, solid slam.

There's a lot of activity centered around this bedroom door.

The frequency of it does not suggest residual.

Rather, it looks like we're dealing

with something of an intelligent phenomena.

It would almost make me believe

that an entity found an easy way to manipulate an object

and this door's just the thing it found.

It has a message, which is get out.

And that's the only thing it wants to say.

You can always tell when there's somebody behind the door pushing it

because it closes like a normal door would.

But when there seems to be some sort of genuine spirit activity,

you see it start to move like, "I'm trying. I'm trying..."

Stop.

And then it stops and then swing shut.

We see that in these videos. It's very convincing.

And while these clips are the first pieces of evidence

that point to possible paranormal activity,

Bianca feels that there's always been something off

about that bedroom in her friend's apartment.

For some reason,

every time she got a third roommate, they would evacuate.

Like, her last roommate

left all her stuff in the apartment and then never came back.

We didn't know why.

And then we found out why.

No one wants to stay in that room.

People move in. They move out almost immediately.

This seems like the only place in the whole apartment

where any sort of paranormal activity is centered.

It's clearly that space, regardless of who's in it.

Hey, if you've ever lived with roommates, as I have

when you've got your own room,

sometimes you just want your own space.

And, uh, you want to keep everybody else out for a while.

So, um, maybe a former resident

still feels that's their place.

There's a classic theory of acknowledgement within the paranormal.

When you're paying attention to an entity, you are empowering it,

and that can yield either good or sometimes negative results.

And sure enough, over the next few days, the disturbances continues.

Like this bed being unmade.

Dude, the sheets got moved.

Sometimes the best thing to do is to realize

that you have to live your life and move forward

and just deal with the situation,

and it will oftentimes go away.

But it's hard to do that when you have a door

slamming in your house, like in this situation.

And indeed.

I heard a creak.

There were plenty more door slams.

No one inside?

I'm doing everything...

Thankfully, the activity did eventually subside

in Bianca's friend's room, that is,

because, according to Bianca,

whatever entity was there is now busy haunting her room,

one floor below.

Like the ghost took a break you, like, stopped doing stuff

and then it started up again... -

and then it just moved into mine.

That's like what transferred in.

And what's even more terrifying,

Bianca claims the severity of the haunting has intensified.

There was this one time where I woke up

and I had, like, scratch marks under my leg.

There was like no blood, and it was like around 3:00.

And I woke up and I was like,

"What the heck? Did I scratch myself?

Did I do something?"

I literally looked up at night and I looked around my room,

like, "Dude, I was chill with you here, living here,

rent free, what? What do you want?"

No, stop. you.

No.

Coming up, an infrared camera

captures a terrifying sight.

A good paranormal investigator

is always prepared.

Let's go.

But even with the latest high-tech gadgets...

Are you here now?

Here we go.

...a level head.

And a clear plan.

It's important to be aware evil's always near.

So, at the very least, be ready to run.

Just ask these investigators in Pakistan

who freaked out when they saw

this thermal imprint of a ghost.

Fall 2018 in Karachi, Pakistan.

Veteran paranormal investigator Kashif Khan,

his partner, Assad, and a cameraman

are at an abandoned college that is thought to be haunted,

and they're here to try to get some proof.

This is Kashif Khan.

Colleges are a lot like hospitals,

a lot like sanitariums,

where they're really liminal spaces.

So they're designed to house people

in these transitional points in their lives.

So this temporary time of college, of education,

in a hospital, of healing or of recovery we have these moments

where the population is really dense

and really emotionally heightened.

You have public buildings, and a lot of people

going back and forth through them.

Sometimes they leave a lot of residual energy around them.

And when you have people there for many, many years,

sometimes people just don't really want

to pass on or pass the grade, as they say.

And Kashif and his team have only been

in the building for a few moments

when some of that residual energy...

- My God. - ...seems to manifest.

What's wrong?

Listen closely.

Did you catch that?

Listen again, as a disembodied voice

screams from somewhere above the investigators.

Picked up loud and clear by the camera.

It is most impressive when you capture electronic voice phenomena.

However, when you hear something like a scream,

live with your own ears,

what that suggests is that there is perhaps an entity

with enough power behind it to project that sound.

If that's a disembodied voice, that takes not only an incredible amount of energy

but an incredible amount of emotion and feeling.

The team is spooked,

but continue with their investigation by taking out their FLIR,

or Fleer camera, and heading into the basement.

So an F-L-I-R camera is a forward looking infrared camera,

and basically it creates a visual map

of temperature changes in a location.

In paranormal investigations, we use thermal imaging to try to detect

the parts of the environment that are hot and are cold.

And by judging them against each other,

we can try and see what makes sense and what is abnormal.

Kashif takes the Fleer camera and scans the area.

You can see what the Fleer is recording

on the lower right side of your screen.

Watch closely as Kashif rounds a corner and points

the camera down a long hallway.

Did you see it?

Watch again.

Zoomed in as the Fleer picks up a temperature anomaly

in the form of a yellow figure stepping into the hallway.

We get a really clear view of a figure

walking past the washroom down the hallway and then just disappear.

It's bright yellow and it's definitely a figure of what looks

like a human being,

walking to the right of the frame.

You can see legs and arms and a head moving

in a very natural walking sort of posture.

And the investigator himself is so frightened

that he is literally speechless and cannot communicate

to his fellow investigator.

Any time you can capture activity

on a Fleer camera, that, to me,

lends a bit of credibility to it

because they're incredibly hard to fake.

If I even touch a surface and then film it,

my hand print's gonna show up.

So, uh, footprints, anything like that,

a lot of times, you can uncover a hoax that way,

and in this case, I just don't see it.

They're all totally wigged out,

but want to confirm what they just saw.

Nothing.

But at this point, that's just fine with them.

Their minds have been sufficiently blown for the night.

Coming up.

A woman sees heavenly bodies...

...in the sky.

Are they angels?

I felt like it was the Lord's angels just watching over us.

Human experiences with the supernatural are commonly terrifying.

Oh, my God!

Mind-blowing.

What the is that?

And sometimes,

just weird.

There's some kind of jelly fungus here.

But in some very rare cases, if you're lucky,

they can also be inspiring.

We're witnessing something amazing.

Just ask one woman in Florida

who recently was in the right place at the right time

to catch this flying in the sky in front of her.

Look at that.

Are those angels? Are they angels?

Oh, my God.

April 2020 in Sarasota, Florida.

Leann Sandlin and her mother are sitting on the tailgate of Leanne's truck,

enjoying the beautiful day outside, when they look up and see this.

Oh, my God, look at 'em.

We're witnessing something amazing.

A group of white,

seemingly synchronized objects in the sky...

Which strangely...

seemed to disappear

and reappear at will...

Oh, my gosh.

...blowing Leann's mind.

- Mom. - I know.

Mom, what is this?

The event lasts for five minutes

before the objects finally fade away for good.

I'm freaking right now.

I'm freaking. This is unbelievable.

My name is Leann Sandlin and I filmed the video.

I was just astonished what a scene.

It was nothing I've ever seen before.

And I've seen white birds like that up in the sky.

But these were definitely different, not birds at all.

Oh, my gosh, What is this, Lord?

- They're not birds. - Oh, my gosh.

The way they were moving, just being there,

and then they would be gone, and they would be at a whole other spot.

It looked like a cluster, and then it would grow

into a huge big cluster and then a smaller cluster.

They were just coming and going and just... It was just so different.

Just so strange.

Glitching is a good word for what's happening here

because on the one hand it looks like a beautiful

but maybe normal, natural phenomenon,

like a murmuration of starlings

moving in that almost mercurial way through the sky.

But one, it's white.

So it's not starlings, and two, it keeps disappearing

and truly disappearing.

- Look at that. - I know.

What is that, they disappear and come back.

It lights up, then it goes away,

then it lights up in another form

and then goes away, then reappears in another form and then goes away.

And they go away and they come back and they morph into different...

I don't know any birds that do that.

I've never seen anything like this before.

And I found myself being moved by

how moved the woman taking the video was.

Look at that.

Oh, my goodness.

She is clearly having a sublime experience.

She is experiencing something profound,

and we are experiencing it along with her.

Oh, Lord, I am just... I am in awe. I'm in awe right now.

The experience was so profound,

in fact, that Leann was sure

this was not just another UFO sighting.

Look at that. Are those angels?

Mom, what is this?

- I don't know. - Are they angels? Oh, my God!

I've had some really cool experiences

that the Lord has shown me.

And this is just another one that I feel like he showed me, but to me when I seen it,

it was almost like I had confirmation within my soul,

like that's what I was seeing,

like it was him. I felt like it was

the Lord's angels watching over us.

Oh, my goodness.

Praise Jesus. Oh, glory to God!

Glory, God.

Normally when you're visited by angels,

you get these amazing downloads or psychic intuitive abilities from them.

So I'm curious to know, did she get a spiritual download

from experiencing these glittering lights swarming in the sky?

Was there anything that she consciously evolved to from this experience?

Because if that's the case, then I can definitely

attribute this more to some sort of angelic sighting.

And if so, then it's possible that's changed her forever.

According to Leann, the answer

to all those questions is a resounding yes.

The most amazing feeling came through my body, a peace, like this peace

came over me and I just felt bliss.

It felt really good. I was happy. I was excited.

I was in awe of what I was seeing.

I'd say for the next week, I was on cloud nine.

I was very, very excited over the whole situation,

and I just wanted to shout out from the rooftops,

like what I've seen and what I witnessed

and what I experienced.

Oh, glory to God.

Glory, God.

If you are going to wade into the paranormal pool of ghosts,

aliens and cryptids, then it's arrogance

to outwardly dismiss the possibility of angels.

Are they angels? Oh, my God!

We experience the paranormal through our own perspective.

So whenever you experience something like this,

any person is going to intake that differently.

To one person, it could be angels,

to another person, it could be aliens,

to another person, it could be the government.

So that's kind of what's beautiful about the paranormal.

And also what is, uh, so divisive.

So many possibilities.

But as far as Leann is concerned,

none that ring quite as true as her own.

It didn't look scary, you know, anything like that.

It was definitely intriguing and beautiful.

So that's what I thought, angels.

Look at that.

Are those angels?

Coming up.

A man confronts an ancient, terrifying force in an abandoned building.

When confronted by something paranormal,

it's natural to invoke the protection of a deity.

After all, what better safeguard against the unknown

than a higher power?

Unless, of course, you're dealing with

a particular kind of supernatural entity called a Jinn,

where praying to God only makes it angrier.

One paranormal investigator may have found this out the hard way.

When his prayers for protection

seem to add a whole lot of fuel...

...to the fire.

February 2019 in Saudi Arabia.

Paranormal investigator Ala Ghanim

is exploring an abandoned building

that he believes is haunted, and before he even enters the property,

he wastes no time in calling for protection from a higher power.

For the first few minutes, despite his obvious trepidation,

there doesn't seem to be much to worry about.

But then, only a few moments later...

...strange, unexplainable noises from all corners of the house,

to which Ala responds by praying even more.

And at a greater intensity.

But the praying only seems to agitate, whatever is in this house.

A door closes on its own.

Followed by others.

He's in such a state of heightened anxiety and terror

that you have to wonder is, is the spirit

that's there feeding off of his energy?

Or is his own energy perhaps somehow manipulating

this environment that he's found himself in?

Or could it be that what Ala is dealing with is a Jinn?

Generally unknown in the Western world but feared and respected

in the Middle East and those regions,

the Jinn are a creature that have been reported to be here

for a very long time, predating man.

It's not a god.

It's not a human. It's its own species, ancient,

much older than the human race itself.

This thing lives, breathes, eats, sleeps,

but it's got these abilities. It has these powers.

In the Qu'ran,

Allah created Jinn from the purest form of fire and mankind from Earth.

And the reason why he created Jinn and man was to worship Allah.

Now, when Allah started taking more

of a liking to mankind and his creation from Earth,

the Jinn started become envious of man.

And the Jinn started to hunt man,

to torment man away from worshipping Allah.

And you have a man literally,

as he's walking through with a camera, praying to Allah nonstop.

Which is the absolute opposite of what Jinn wants for man to do.

One of the facts about the Jinn is that they're said

to appear in the form of dust.

And if you watch this video, you watch this guy run around, all around him,

it's just nothing but dust particles.

So it's possible he could be

surrounded by the Jinn and not even know it.

Whether he knows it or not,

Ala is in way over his head

and it's about to get a whole lot worse.

A massive, powerful show of force,

a door literally blown off its hinges.

A Jinn isn't necessarily good or bad,

but if you give them a reason to harm you...

...then they will do so.

And this guy seems to be giving it a reason.

Fortunately, Ala bolts out of the house

before things can get any more out of hand.

This investigation is a classic example

of being tempted by the forbidden.

This man knows

he should not be poking around

in a location inhabited by Jinn,

but he cannot resist that lure.

Well, maybe after this experience,

he will be able to resist it, at least for a while.

Coming up.

A lake monster emerges in China.

This thing was big and this thing was moving fast.

It was clearly an actual creature in the water.

The belief in mythical creatures known as cryptids

is something that has permeated all cultures throughout history.

The Yeti, the Chupacabra, the bunion, their very existence

stretches the limits of scientific plausibility.

And yet each year, sightings of these elusive beasts

continue to be reported around the globe,

sightings so remarkable that the line

between legend and reality becomes increasingly blurred.

One such example happened recently

in a central Chinese village,

when residents caught a glimpse

of something swimming in their local reservoir

and were sure it was evidence of a legendary lake monster.

July 2020, Luoyang in the Hunan province of China.

On what seems like a normal summer morning,

a group of local residents stroll along a pond in town,

when something unusual captures their attention.

Watch closely as a large, wormlike creature slithers

just underneath the surface of the water.

And as a witness notes,

this thing is huge.

So what on earth are we looking at here?

This thing looks very much like any number

of cryptid, unidentified lake monsters that we find around the world.

It's sort of a long, elongated body,

perhaps serpentine or reptilian hanging

just below the surface of the water.

Whatever it is doesn't crest the surface.

It doesn't come up for air, doesn't look around.

We don't see a tail or wings or fins.

We just see the disturbance.

Beneath the water, we see a rough shape.

It's unusual because it's a smaller body of water. Normally we think

of these great big sea monsters, living in giant lakes,

living at depths of thousands of feet

in the ocean, underwater caves.

But here you have a ten-foot creature

lurking in a shallower body of water, like a pond.

This thing was big,

and this thing was moving fast.

It was clearly an actual creature in the water.

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

but it's obviously a large creature

that's emitting bubbles,

so it's emitting air from a set of lungs, I would assume.

This would suggest to me

that it's not a fish of any kind.

And the villagers watching it agree.

In fact, they believe it to be nothing less than a mythical

serpentine creature, that legend has it,

inhabits these waters, and given the location

of the sighting, that makes perfect sense.

In Chinese mythology, their dragons are thought to live

deep down in bodies of water.

It's been a mythical creature

that's been part of their culture

for thousands and thousands of years and maybe, just maybe,

we haven't found everything out there.

And maybe we're looking at one right here.

Maybe.

But if this is indeed a dragon-like creature that's been here for ages

or one of its offspring, why do we have

such a small amount of hard evidence?

The reason why it's so hard to explore these water-based cryptids

or even alien life forms in the water is because

it's essentially an alien ecosystem.

We can't survive underwater.

And if you have ever had the experience

of swimming in an isolated mountain lake

and feeling something brush

across your ankle or your foot,

your sudden awareness of the precarity

of your position in this planet

is just brought to bear in that moment on you.

It's a really frightening thing to know

there's an entire ecosystem that we can't see,

that we're almost constantly engaging just on the edges of.

Creepy, but certainly not the first or last time we'll hear

about a sighting like this.

Places all over the world have their own version of a lake monster,

and I don't think that's a coincidence.

It's just basic human nature.

We see this thing in the water that we can't explain,

and we have kind of no choice but to open our minds to the paranormal.

Coming up, evil spirits deep within the Earth,

make their presence known.

Gaya, the Greek goddess who personified the Earth.

There are many who believe that this is not just a myth,

that the Earth is in fact one large living organism

comprised of all organic and inorganic matter

with the will and ability to protect itself

against any perceived dangers using any means necessary,

like tornadoes, tsunamis, volcanoes

and, according to the residents of one small village in India,

evil spirits who dwell deep underground.

June 5, 2020 in Kendrapara, India, a man is drilling

a borewell in his backyard, and everything is progressing normally

until the moment his drilling team reaches one thousand feet.

Then this happens.

The earth shakes and rumbles, spewing boiling hot water

up to 40 feet into the sky.

Panicked and fearing that someone

may actually be harmed or killed,

the team attempts to clear the area.

Then finally, after a few

terrifying minutes, the rumbling stops.

The villagers are stunned.

What made this happen?

This looks like hell on earth.

This looks like... The Earth could just swallow up

a house, a car, even people at any second.

You see videos like this and you think the world is falling apart.

The world's going to explode and we're all going to die.

I just found myself gazing uncomprehendingly at what was happening here.

It was the earth and a large expanse of it,

moving in a way that, in my mind, solid earth does not move,

the dirt becoming like a liquid.

It looked like quicksand or a sinkhole,

which on its own is frightening enough.

But then this boiling and bubbling and bursting activity.

I don't even know what I would have done

if I had been there watching this happen.

Whatever this is, it's incredible.

It looks as if the earth itself is angry

and violently spewing in this village.

And according to some locals,

there might be a reason for that.

They believe the strange activity could have been caused by hostile spirits

hidden within the earth that were upset about the drilling.

India has a very firm belief in the supernatural

and cultures all over the world have their own types of explanations

for things like this, where if you disturb nature in a way

that nature does not approve of, nature will let you know.

It actually makes me think of elemental four earth spirits,

a cross-cultural phenomenon, and they get exceptionally furious

when man pokes around a little too much,

and sometimes those spirits poke back.

If elementals were to see this construction as a threat to their environment,

then they'll find ways to sabotage those projects

or make the human beings' lives a living hell

however they know how.

But what about those who might claim this

is just some bizarre natural phenomenon

having nothing to do with evil spirits?

Just because something is naturally occurring

does not mean it's not paranormal.

I know that sounds kind of counterintuitive,

but I do believe the Earth to be a living thing,

and I do think that it's powerful beyond

what we understand it to be powerful for.

So when we see these huge natural disasters,

these huge natural occurrences, I think that they're worth

paying attention to.

If you believe in the power of Gaya, if you believe in the power of Mother Earth,

where we see natural occurrences like this, natural disasters like this,

it might be because we've done something to upset Gaya.

Perhaps the moral of the story is

don't mess with Mother Nature.

What should you do in the event

you witnessed something paranormal?

Here's some tips to get it all on camera.

Be nice to your roommates.

Oh, my God!

Keep a level head.

Believe in miracles.

Are they angels?
