Next on Paranormal Caught on Camera.

It's turning different colors.

A man in Pennsylvania spots a dazzling UFO.

It was just like some kind of energy, freakin' thing happening

where it just kinda grew bigger and then it took off.

A spirit stalks a New York home.

It was really scary to know that myself, my husband

and my daughter were all asleep while it was happening.

Did several groups of Tennessee mountain hikers...

...all stumble on Bigfoot?

We had seen bears, this was something very different.

It was much larger, much furrier, standing on two legs.

A man plays peek-a-boo with a child ghost.

It is so clear, it is almost as if you could reach out and touch it.

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

...to believe.

There is a building in Japan that strikes fear in those who know its history.

It was once a sprawling and expensive hospital

that some say was understaffed

causing a grievous error that resulted in the death...

of a patient.

One of the nurses was reportedly so distraught

she died by suicide.

Today, it's said that nurse's unsettled spirit

roams the abandoned building.

And a veteran ghost hunter may have captured proof that it does.

2019, Nigata, Japan.

Yoshikuni Hamashima has been hunting ghosts for 35 years.

So when he heard about an abandoned and supposedly haunted hospital,

it was a no-brainer.

My name is Yoshikuni Hamashima, and this is my video.

Accidents that sometimes resulted in the death of patients.

Which, naturally, fueled the rumors that it was haunted.

Yoshikuni and four colleagues

are working their way down each empty floor of the hospital...

...searching for any evidence of paranormal activity.

And it doesn't take long for Yoshikuni to feel some strong vibes.

Moments later, he captures something chilling.

Watch closely.

Did you see that?

Watch again.

In slow motion, as a ghostly white face with hollowed-out eyes

peers through the window.

It's only after Yoshikuni posts the footage on social media

that a viewer alerts him to the terrifying image.

We see this strange, white, almost a reverse shadow figure,

almost like a ghost, the form of a ghost.

It seems to be coming from the outside

as opposed to a reflection from inside the window.

This, to me, obviously tells me it's intelligent energy

because it's aware of the investigators.

And this energy is keeping itself on the other side

of where it's physically impossible for the living to enter.

But the team's next encounter would have no such separation.

Keep your eye on the wheelchair at the end of the hall.

Watch again.

The wheelchair is first sitting in the middle of the hallway.

Then, Yoshikuni pans away for a moment,

and when he pans back...

the camera just catches the edge of the chair

as it finished rolling from the hallway into a doorway...

on its own.

That long shot we get down the corridor

where we see the wheelchair at the end,

the camera moves away just briefly, and when it comes back...

...that wheelchair is gone.

That was really freaky.

It doesn't just move and inch or two,

it's sitting completely motionless down this corridor

and then it sort of rolls backwards and pulls away

into a doorway, into a completely different room.

So, who or what could be causing this activity?

And, could it be related to the accidental death or a former patient?

It's a common theme in Japanese culture,

when someone makes an error at work,

it's not just an error within themselves.

It's an error reflected in the entire company.

You top that off with the nurse who decided to also end her life,

that guilt is enough to perpetuate a haunt throughout the whole building.

And that guilt could be the reason

why this spirit still lingers today.

We often view the paranormal through a western lens

however, within Japanese culture, ghosts or yrei

have endured throughout millennia.

The basic idea is that within each human,

there is a god, and when that human dies,

that god is released.

If it has unfinished business,

this yreican come back to exact revenge

or seek to find out some sort of resolution to their life.

A fact that is not lost on Yoshikuni.

But regardless of the message she is sending,

one thing is certain.

Coming up, a UFO speeds across the Poconos.

Do you see how this is moving?

The Poconos in Pennsylvania are well-known for many things

like hiking, fishing,

and just taking in the incredible views.

But, did you know that the area also has quite the reputation

as a UFO hotspot?

In fact, there have been thousands of UFO sightings over the last 50 years.

Some say it's due to the unobstructed views of the sky.

Others think the natural resources

are a magnet for other-worldly travelers.

And, there are even those

who believe it's because of a strong connection to the indigenous people

who used to call the area home.

Whatever the reason, one thing's for sure...

the UFOs just keep coming.

Do you see this?

Do you see what it's doing?

November 2020, East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania.

Perched high in the Pocono mountains,

Mycul Lugo is working on his deck one sunny afternoon

when a strange streak of light catches his eye.

You see that dot right there?

That is a UFO.

My name is Mycul Lugo and I'm the guy who recorded the video of the UFO.

I was actually right here on this deck working on some music and stuff

when I see kind of like a shooting star.

It was super bright, and it was super high in the sky and it was daytime.

What stopped me was because the shooting star didn't disappear

like it usually does, it just like fades,

but this one stopped in its tracks.

And I said, "Whoo, what the hell?"

It's been moving like crazy.

The minute I center it in my camera,

my heart is pumping, I'm nervous, you can tell

because I've never experienced anything like this.

It was moving at first, it stopped,

now it's just blinking like a bright, white light.

I'm very zoomed in.

Look at how it lit up right now.

It was magnificent, like the sun had come down and shrunk.

It's turning different colors.

Guys, this is a real UFO.

If this were shot at night-time, it would be perplexing enough

but the fact that it's shot when it's still light out,

really means that whatever this thing is

is really generating an awful lot of its own light.

It's very bright, even when it changes color we can still clearly see it

even in a lighted sky.

At first, the pulsing light simply hangs there.

This is crazy.

And then...

the object shoots across the sky.

Do you see this?

Do you see what it's doing?

It was just like some kind of energy freakin' thing happening

where it just kind of grew bigger and then it took off.

It starts to morph,

to change shape, to certainly change in brightness

and appears to get a little bit bigger, maybe even a little bit longer.

And then, in one of the coolest moments in this video, it moves.

Looking at the speed and movement of this thing,

that's what makes me go, "Wow."

Helicopters don't do that, drones don't do that.

If they fall, they fall to the ground.

Look at how it's moving.

After darting to the right,

the object abruptly stops once again.

Do you see this?

Only to move once more.

This time, downward.

Do you see how this is moving?

It just turned a different direction and went another way.

And I tried to find it again, but I lost it.

It certainly looks like there's some kind of intelligence

controlling the movement of this object.

But, what kind of intelligence?

This is crazy.

This is always the big question with UFOs.

We now know with certainty and even with government confirmation

that there exist what are called unexplained aerial phenomena.

We know this.

So the only question that remains isn't, "Is this real?"

But, "What is it? What does it mean?"

Hard to say.

But given the location, if this is extra-terrestrial,

it wouldn't be the first time.

Throughout the entire state of Pennsylvania, there are a lot of hotspots

where there's an immense amount of UFO activity,

a lot of these areas are very sacred.

These are areas that were deemed sacred by the Native Americans

that lived there, the local tribes.

And a lot of these areas continue to this day to have activity

and people are reporting them all the time.

The history of the Poconos goes way back

to the native indigenous people known as the Lenape.

The Lenape, or, the "Original Ones"

believed that their ancestors came from the stars.

And so, for thousands of years they were talking with extra-terrestrials.

Because extra-terrestrials are the Lenape's ancestors,

they are star people and I think that's so beautiful and interesting.

Whatever the reason for the visit,

Mycul is extremely grateful for the experience.

I would say it was one of the most amazing experiences of my entire life.

If you guys live in a clear sky, I invite you to just look up

as much as you can, especially on the super clear nights.

Because I guarantee you, if I'm seeing them, you're gonna see them.

This is crazy.

Guys, this is a real UFO.

Coming up, an eerie apparition

is caught leaving a family's home.

There's no way that could've been a person,

it has to be a spirit.

When does a house become a home?

Many believe it's only when the structure is inhabited by people,

filling it with their energy and emotion year after year.

Energy that can remain within the walls

long after the residents have passed away.

So, what happens when a new family moves in

and starts tearing everything down?

Just ask a mother and daughter in New York

who caught a mysterious apparition walking down the front steps

of their renovated farm house.

August 2020, Florida, New York.

Emily Romano and her mother, Angelique Elswick have experienced

what they believe to be paranormal activity around their house

ever since moving in in 2013.

HI, I'm Angelique Elswick and this is my daughter, Emily Romano.

I believe there are spirits living with us here.

When we first moved in, which was about nine years ago

me and my brother would hear screeching noises at night.

The attic door locks on its own

and we have to actually unlock it from the outside.

It locks by itself, it's creepy.

My bedroom is directly below the attic space

and I hear footsteps all the time.

Eventually, the activity seems to spread to the outside of the house.

Last year, it started to become like, people walking on our porch

and I asked my mom to put up cameras

to see if there were any people or animals on our porch.

So Angelique puts up a camera.

And what they discover when reviewing the footage

is most certainly not an animal or a living person.

Watch and listen closely.

Did you see that? Watch again.

As a vaporous apparition walks down the steps,

making a thumping sound as it does,

and then, disappears into the night.

Emily and Angelique are freaked out.

It was really scary to wake up and see this video in the morning

and know that myself, my husband and my daughter

were all asleep while it was happening and we had no idea.

After watching it so many times,

there's no way that that could've been a person.

Just the angle and the way it comes into the video, it has to be a spirit.

We have a camera that's activated by motion

and it captures what appears to be a semi-transparent apparition

of what look to me like someone carrying an object

down the front porch steps of this house and then disappearing.

Rather than a traditional shadow figure,

this looks like some sort of ghostly form

moving quickly down the porch steps.

But what I find especially captivating

is that the noises match the image.

As it goes down the steps, we hear the weight of footfalls

as it trounces about pretty quickly.

I think I was more relieved to see that it was a spirit

that we were hearing than a person that could actually do us harm.

But, if it is a spirit, who could it be?

I watched this clip several times

and each time I kept thinking it looks so homey.

It looks like a person who's just maybe opened the front door,

stepped outside, shut the door behind

in what appears to be a really normal daily activity.

I'm inclined to see this as some sort of repeater,

some sort of residual energy where an imprint has been left

by the daily activity of someone who used to be in this space.

That would definitely make sense.

Especially given the history of this particular house.

The owner of the home did pass away in the home.

And he loved his home and when I purchased it,

we kinda came in and took down all of that.

We completely gutted this house.

Which I think is what stirred up a lot of the noises in the attic in particular.

That is where the homeowner spent most of his time.

As soon as you start demolishing things,

and you start tearing down the circuitry,

and the energetic workings within a home,

those are all the circuitry and energetic workings

for the spirits attached to that circuitry.

And so, when that's no longer there,

those energies have nothing to sustain themselves

and they don't know how to be a ghost anymore.

Fortunately, whoever or whatever was on the porch

hasn't been seen or heard there since.

And though some activity is still present inside their home...

The walking in the attic still continues

and the door-locking still continues.

...Emily and Angelique feel able to deal with whatever it is.

At least, for now.

I think that they're good spirits,

even if they make me a little uneasy,

I don't think that they're here to hurt us.

They're welcome to be here

as long as they don't scare us in the middle of the night again.

Coming up, a Bigfoot is spotted in the woods of Tennessee.

As most of us know by now, Bigfoot is notoriously shy.

Which is why many sightings are actually caught on remote cameras.

But of course, there are live captures too where one person...

...or even a few traveling together...

...filmed Bigfoot in the wild.

And then, there are those very special videos

where a large group of people from all over

all accidentally witness the same remarkable creature at the same time.

Like this one...

...in the snowy mountains of Tennessee.

2011, Clingmans Dome,

the highest point of Tennessee's Great Smoky Mountains.

A man named Nick is on a hike with his family

when something extraordinary happens.

Hi, I'm Nick and I'm the one who filmed this video.

I was on vacation with my two younger brothers, my parents,

as well as my two cousins and my aunt and uncle.

We were going on a hiking trip

to Clingmans Dome in Tennessee in the Smoky Mountains.

It was kind of an overcast day

as we got higher up into the mountain, it was very foggy and cold.

We were walking along this trail

and my cousin thought he heard something in the trees,

so we all stopped to look and see what it was that he was pointing at.

They all spot something in the distance.

We had seen bears and elk, but this looked different.

But by the time Nick starts rolling,

whatever it is disappears around a corner.

I just noticed these kind of furry legs just as they turn the corner.

But the creature stays in the area

and soon, a crowd gathers to get a look at it in its new location.

Uphill and among the trees.

I had decided to take a couple steps closer

to see if I could get a better shot at it.

Watch as Nick zooms in on the figure.

It was very clear what we were seeing wasn't any of those animals

that we'd seen already on the trip.

This was something very different, it was much larger, much furrier,

standing on two legs.

The hands were much bigger.

Whatever it is stands still in the trees...

...seemingly observing the observers.

And then, finally,

it vanishes into the forest.

On the car ride home, Nick and his family have plenty to discuss.

Afterwards, we all got in the car and were driving down the mountain

and all kind of debating what it was we had just seen.

And eventually, the majority come to the same conclusion.

Me and my brothers and my cousins were very adamant

that it was a Bigfoot that we had seen.

So, are they right?

Did they really just see...

Bigfoot?

This figure rounding the bend is quite large

and it is somewhat sloped over in a fashion

that we associate with a Sasquatch.

What I also find compelling is if you look towards the feet,

it's almost as if some of the hair is flapping as it moves.

What I'm seeing is definitely a silhouette, a figure

of something large with wide shoulders, you can see it's on two legs.

And based on the reactions of the people in the video,

they were looking at something that just doesn't make sense.

And given the location of the sighting,

the likelihood that this was Bigfoot is pretty high.

In the area of Clingmans Dome in the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee,

it's known for its Bigfoot sightings in the past.

This is a place where Bigfoot sightings have been rampant.

This is not a rare thing, this is the kind of place

where, when you see a creature like this through the trees,

one of the first suggestions that comes to you is Bigfoot.

And, there are a number of other factors

that make this sighting more credible than most.

What's great about this is having a multitude of eyewitnesses there.

It gives it more credence to me as opposed to a single photograph from a trail cam.

The fact that they are watching this thing moving, it's keeping its distance,

and it's acting like a Bigfoot would.

As a journalist, I am as captivated by the reactions of the crowd.

They are clearly seeing something here

and emotionally, they sound very authentic as they respond to it.

For his part, Nick is just thrilled

that he was there to catch it on camera.

And is absolutely certain of what he saw.

My experience that day was unlike any other.

It's still something I think about

and to this day, I still think it was a Bigfoot.

Coming up, what kind of game is this ghost child playing?

Oh my God, look at that eye, it's white!

That is nuts!

During the influenza pandemic of 1918,

675,000 Americans died.

Many of whom were children.

Hospitals overflowed.

Makeshift care facilities opened in gymnasiums,

armories and any other building that had the space.

One of which was a large home in Port Chester, New York.

It has since been converted into apartments.

And some believe it's haunted.

Possibly, by the restless spirits of the young children who died there.

Recently, a man who lives there may have captured proof.

Oh my God, look at that eye, it's white!

That is nuts!

2021, Port Chester, New York.

A lifelong paranormal investigator named John

lives in an old building with a storied history.

Hi, I'm John and I'm the person that filmed these videos.

The building itself was built in 1860,

then became a hospital.

Then in 1920, the building was changed into high-end apartments

for a local country club.

And it's this long, varied history that's fueled rumors

that the building is haunted.

John is curious to see if those rumors are true.

So one day, he ventures down to an unused area of the basement to investigate.

It's really hot down here, really nasty, look at these cobwebs.

And captures something incredible.

Watch closely.

Watch again zoomed in as the dark-haired, grayish face of a child

seems to play peek-a-boo with John.

Again and again.

My first experience down there was basically a ghost-child entity

peeking around the corner.

There is zero question here that what we are seeing

is a form that is child-height and it is peeking around the corner.

It is so clear, it's almost as if you could reach out and touch it.

This doesn't look see-through, it's not fuzzy,

it's not glowing like you would imagine phantoms to be.

The looks solid, like a real boy.

John is, understandably, blown away by what he's captured.

And incredibly, he has more encounters with this entity

and they are not limited to peek-a-boo.

Sometimes, he actually engages with whatever this thing is.

Alright, so I've been playing tag with this thing.

Look, there he is again, hey!

Here we go, ready?

Every time, every time I go...

This is what I wish all investigators would do,

is follow through, chase it down.

The fact that he gets there pretty quick

and we can see for ourselves that there's nothing,

yeah, that's really scary.

And it becomes truly terrifying during another encounter

when the playful tone suddenly takes a drastic turn.

Oh, I think I just saw...

Oh my God, I don't know if I wanna chase it this time.

The child's face has changed.

That doesn't look like the normal...

Oh my God, look at that eye, it's white!

That is nuts!

At first, I did not know what I was looking at

because what I was used to seeing down there was a little ghost child.

We get a pretty clear view of its face.

It's a very strange-looking image

that has white eyes as if they're glossed over

and we can actually see it blinking its eyes.

Look at that eye, it's white!

That is nuts!

My thought if I were in his place...

time to go.

Which is exactly what John does.

I don't know if I wanna chase it this time.

I did feel like something was threatening me

and my being personally and my energy personally.

That is so nuts!

So, who or what could this entity be?

And, is it connected to the building's history?

You gotta remember, this place was a hospital during the pandemic of 1918

so there is probably a lot of misery and death going on in this place.

For a child's spirit to be wandering around here,

you can't help but wonder, is this one of the victims of that terrible plague?

Possibly, or maybe this isn't the ghost of a child at all.

On one hand, this might seem like a child's spirit, it's playful.

Hey! Here we go.

On the other hand, maybe this is something of a darker nature

that's trying to lure this man somewhere.

Terrifying, but whatever this thing is,

John is determined to keep searching for answers

and do whatever he can to get to the bottom of what is happening here.

If it ends up being that this entity is truly trapped down here,

I will bring in some experts and see if we can cleanse the place.

See if we can release not just the child entity,

but anything else that is down there as well.

Oh my God, look at that eye, it's white!

That is nuts!

Coming up, is this suspended soap bubble

a glitch in the matrix?

This is the soap bubble that's been here for at least two minutes.

You've seen it on the show many times before.

Moment after moment of normal life...

suddenly glitching out...

as if everything around us is simply a bug-y simulation.

And after searching the globe for more example of this bizarre phenomenon,

we can tell you this for certain...

...it's still happening.

2021, northern Alabama.

Aldolphus Wright and his girlfriend, Sarah Jordan

are having a quiet evening at home...

when something happens that blows both their minds.

Hey, my name is Aldolphus Wright and this is my girlfriend, Sarah Jordan.

We experienced what we shot in the video together.

I was actually in the living room watching TV

and I hear my girlfriend kind of going off about something

happening in the kitchen.

I had just poured some dish detergent into the water

to let the dish water start running

and I put the container down and bubbles came out as they sometimes do

and I really didn't pay it no attention

until that thing caught me out of the corner of my eye.

And that thing causes her to call for Adolphus.

So, I go in there and there's this soap bubble.

It's not moving, it's completely stationary.

As time ticks by, the bubble continues to remain stuck in midair.

This is the soap bubble that's been here for at least two minutes.

- What the? - It's not moving.

And no angle they film it from helps to explain it.

Okay, I'm above it now so there's no way it's hanging from anything.

It short-circuited my brain

'cause I'm like, it's a bubble, so any slight movement of air,

like, if I were to blow on it, it would've like, burst or moved.

And it's just like, not doing any of these things

that my mind tells me it should be doing.

I'll try to go below it.

What!

In the moment, Sarah and Adolphus

can think of only one possible explanation.

I immediately thought of Paranormal Caught on Camera

and the segment, Glitch in the Matrix

because, I mean, I couldn't believe what was happening to us.

What the?

This video is astonishing,

clearly, we can see a soap bubble

and we've all seen soap bubbles before.

But we've never seen one, I don't think, that just stands still.

It's a soap bubble that is suspended in midair,

it's not moving, it's not floating on an air current.

I can't explain that, who can explain that?

Well, we can.

A lot of theorists out there believe that we live in a simulation.

And just like your computer would freeze or crash,

it's believed that our everyday life

is a simulation and has the ability to do so as well.

as a society, our folk belief evolves

with our understanding of the world.

So the fact that we even now have a concept like the matrix,

like a giant simulation in which we are all living,

that's an idea that had simply had no way of existing several hundred years ago.

And now that we have that idea,

we have suddenly this new category, this new context

of understanding things that we can't explain.

After a few minutes, the bubble finally acts like a bubble...

- What! - Holy!

...allowing Adolphus and Sarah to get back to their normal lives.

Albeit, with lots of questions.

It just makes me wonder, like,

was some kind of energy trying to communicate

or is simulation theory really real?

And is this a simulation and are there glitches that go on?

Like, why did that happen to us, like, why did that happen?

I'm like, still, if I think about it, I'm like, did that really happen?

It did.

But at least they can take comfort in the fact

that despite the occasional glitches...

What!

Holy!

...life continues to go on.

At least, for now.

Whenever I see footage like this,

that looks like glitches in the matrix,

it makes me very concerned

because when a program is operating smoothly,

we don't notice it and everything is cool.

But when it starts to act up, what do the programmers do?

They issue an update

or they might need to reboot the entire system

which would not end well for--

What should you do in the event you witness something paranormal?

Do you see this, do you see this?

Here are some tips to get it all on camera.

Never stop recording even when you're scared.

Oh my God, look at that eye, it's white!

Check your footage and then, check it again.

Believe the legend.

Bigfoot!
