Next on Paranormal Caught on Camera...

A man visiting a historic Virginia site...

Cannon brigade, which was next to the old Henry House.

...captures a spirit from the Civil War.

This thing is almost like a full body manifestation.

Probably one of the best ones I've ever seen captured on film.

Commercial airline pilots have close encounters...

...with UFOs.

It seems to be under some kind of intelligent control,

like somebody might be controlling it from the inside.

A family in Texas adopts a ghost child.

Where our house is, it's actually an old burial site

and it so happens it's for children.

Is a garment factory in Japan haunted by a former employee?

This is a machine turning on,

being used as the operator would run it when they were alive.

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

...to believe.

If you're lucky enough...

...to work somewhere you love...

...with people you enjoy being around...

...and it lasts for much of your adult life...

...it's very possible that the intense professional energies

that you put into that workspace

will connect you with it forever.

Case in point,

a beloved employee of a small company in Japan

was apparently still clocking in

after 23 years of service...

...even though she'd been dead...

...for nearly a year.

December 2020, Ehime, Japan.

A garment factory owner named Kengo

notices some items out of place

when he opens up the shop one morning.

So, he reviews the security camera footage from the night before...

...and is stunned by what he sees.

Watch as a mannequin rolls across the office floor

maneuvering around a set of drawers and a desk...

...all by itself.

Kengo, who asked that we hide his identity...

...is freaked out.

Nothing more creepy to see an object move,

but to see something like a mannequin,

something that's human-like move across the floor

by no means, whatsoever, that are visible

is definitely a creepy thing to see.

And that's not the only creepy thing

Kengo sees on the footage.

Watch, on another night,

as fabric flies off some shelves.

Then a garment basket slowly rolls across the floor.

But perhaps most disturbing is what is caught one night in the sewing area.

Do you see it?

Look closely...

...as this sewing machine...

...turns on and runs by itself.

Here we are in a silent, quiet, dark factory room...

...and you see the needle start going

and it looks like this sewing machine is operating

by some kind of unseen force.

This is a machine turning on,

a sewing machine running as the operator would run it when they were alive.

Desperate for an explanation...

...Kengo turns to the employees

of this small family-owned business...

...and gets a chilling response.

The employee who worked there for 23 years

had died just a year earlier

and it's her sewing machine that's running on its own...

...and her favorite mannequin rolling across the floor.

There's an incredibly direct connection here

between the paranormal activity that we're seeing

and the specific individual who died.

These are the things that she was using

and the fact that this activity seems to start

when she left this earth, I think that's who this is.

But if it is the spirit of this employee...

...why return to work?

Often hauntings are just the result

of a spirit doing repetitive actions they'd performed in life

and, uh, if that's true,

then you could certainly understand

why that might be going on here.

To have spent almost a quarter of a century

in this one place doing your job,

being recognized as a long-time worker with a great attitude,

it's hard to really think of a better place to end up spending eternity

than somewhere that made you happy,

somewhere you felt useful and competent and cheerful.

Or maybe she's just trying to send a message to her old friends.

To determine what is going on here,

I think that they should try to establish communication,

try to engage and talk with her and find out what she might want.

Which is just what Kengo would like to do.

I would speak to her as if she was in the room with us

because she probably is,

and ask her to do more, ask her to do specific things

and see if those specific things that you asked for are done.

Whatever happens next,

Kengo is just grateful his old friend returned.

Coming up...

Is this historic site...

Cannon brigade, which was next to the old Henry House.

...home to a Civil War ghost?

On July 21st, 1861,

the first major land battle of the Civil War took place.

It was known as the First Battle of Bull Run

or the Battle of First Manassas

and resulted in nearly 5,000 casualties.

One of whom was an 84-year-old civilian

who lived on the property, named Judith Carter Henry.

Today the Henry House has been rebuilt and is part of a national park

and also, legend has it, still home to the ghost of Mrs. Henry.

Just ask a family from Alabama who visited the battlefield nearly 20 years ago

and caught this mysterious figure.

July 2003,

on the Manassas battlefield in Virginia...

...history buff Jim Tucker and his family are on vacation visiting this historic site.

I'm Lauren Tucker.

This is my dad, Jim Tucker, and we're the ones who filmed the video.

We're on vacation, it's July, it's very hot and I have my family there.

They're not as interested as I am in battlefield and military history.

It's a hobby of mine and has been for a very long time.

The First Battle of Manassas was the first major battle in the Civil War.

And it was fought right where Jim is filming,

at what is known as the Henry House,

which was stripped of its paint a few years after Jim's visit.

Tragically, during the battle,

an 84-year-old civilian named Judith Henry

was killed after a cannonball was fired into her bedroom.

I've always thought of Mrs. Henry dying

as part of maybe loss of innocents of our country.

Jim attempts to illustrate how the event took place

using his video camera.

I'm wanting to show here's the position of the Henry House

in relation to where the two sides are firing at each other.

They were firing toward the Union brigade...

Watch closely.

...Cannon brigade, which was next to the old Henry House

Did you catch that? Watch again.

As the camera captures what appears to be

a lone woman walking along the battlefield

wearing a long white dress and bonnet in the blazing summer heat.

As Jim pans back,

the camera catches the mysterious woman again...

...and here's where it gets truly bizarre.

No one in the family sees the woman

until they get back home and replay the footage.

My daughter's like, "Look at that lady,"

and we started slowing it down and it was unusual.

The Tuckers are blown away...

...especially because of what was happening at the site that day,

or rather what wasn't happening.

When we got there, the park ranger announced to us,

"Oh, we're sorry, we're not, you know, having any reenactments today."

So, that's what made it, you know, even more shocking when we watched the video back

'cause we knew, you know, we remembered that nobody was there that day.

I think there were, like, 12 people and six of those 12 were us.

So, then, if not an actor or another tourist,

who did they just see?

It's definitely a woman in period clothing.

I would say she would look to be maybe in her mid-20s, mid-30s.

She's got a long, long dress

that seemed that would be very, very hot to be wearing in the summer.

She's got a big hat on

and, uh, she just seems to be looking down and walking.

Now, on any other day I think most of us would say that's a person,

there's clearly a historic reenactment going on,

but the people who took the footage

make it clear there was not any sort of reenactment going on.

There, in fact, wasn't a woman walking along that fence line when they shot that footage.

So, that right there puts this into the realm of the supernatural

and we're left to say, "Okay, so who was it?"

Perhaps the location of the Henry family cemetery

gives us a clue.

Behind the house there's a iron fence

in area that's actually the graves of Mrs. Henry,

her son and daughter were also buried there.

This sighting took place near the grave of a Mrs. Henry

as well as the graves of her son and daughter.

Could this be connected to that person?

Could this be Mrs. Henry?

This house has been rebuilt and refurbished

and it's now memorialized by her and her family who lived there.

And so, those who have died in the house

now have that space to be remembered in

and that energy gets called into those walls again.

So, I think that there is a big possibility

that Judith Henry is, you know, haunting the grounds.

Jim thinks so too

and he believes there is a reason

he is the one who captured her.

If I were Mrs. Henry and I had the capability to come back

and show myself to somebody,

somebody that's paying tribute to my story,

that might be the place I pick.

They go there and they think about the Henry family,

thinking about Mrs. Henry and the awful death she experienced.

If you're reminiscing about that,

you are literally manifesting this apparition to happen

and maybe you don't see it with your own eyes,

but you're just lucky enough to capture it on camera

because of that crystal little lens

that can see this type of energy better than we can.

Whatever the reason,

Jim is just grateful to have captured what he did

and is hoping it serves a greater purpose.

I just think if this came together

as a thank you for caring about history,

maybe we will learn some things from history

that help us do better from now on.

Cannon brigade, which is next to the old Henry House.

Coming up...

A toy tractor ridden by a ghost.

There is no greater tragedy than a life lost too soon...

...especially when it comes to children...

...and that lingering loss can be felt both by those who are left behind

and the young spirits of those taken.

Which might explain why so many of these shortchanged souls

seem to come back for more.

Just ask a family in Texas who recently discovered

that their house may be sitting on...

...a supernatural playground.

October 2019, Eldorado, Texas.

Lupe Elizondo and her family

have just arrived home from the store when she discovers this...

...a toy tractor distinctly out of place.

Thinking it might be some local kids horsing around,

Lupe checks her security footage

and what she sees is mind blowing.

Watch.

Watch again as the small toy tractor

pedals away from the wall

around the parked truck,

pauses, then starts again,

turning away from another truck,

before coming to a stop.

How is this possible?

My name is Lupe Elizondo and I own this video.

When I pulled up into my driveway,

the tractor was in the spot where my husband parked his truck.

So, I told my daughter, "Why'd you put it there?"

And she said, "I didn't put it there, Mom."

I go into my app and scroll through,

and as I'm scrolling through I just see the tractor move on its own.

I remember playing it on my phone several times

to see if I really was seeing what I was seeing.

I wasn't scared, but I definitely was like,

"Uh-oh," like, "What is going on?"

So, in this clip we see quite clearly

a child's toy tractor move on its own

and I might be inclined to think, you know, maybe the wind blew,

maybe an animal that we couldn't see moved past it initially...

...but then it keeps going.

The pedals are turning, the handlebars are being steered,

so that it doesn't just roll in a straight line

like it might if the wind is blowing it.

If it were wind, if it were any other sort of motion,

maybe if gravity were pulling it down an incline,

there would have to be enough force to make it start moving

and once it goes, all right, then inertia would take over, but it doesn't do that,

it stops. It stops fully.

And then almost as if whoever or whatever was on it decides, "I'm gonna go that way."

It changes direction and zigzags across the courtyard.

It almost seems like somebody is sitting on this thing riding it.

It definitely looks like there's some kind of,

I hate to say this, but it looks like some kind of

ghostly child riding this thing.

Lupe thinks so too.

So, she decides to look into the history of her home and the town.

And what she learns is deeply disturbing.

We started asking questions then.

Where our house is, it's actually an old burial site

and it so happens that it's for children.

In the early 20th century, a lot of the children in the United States

were really susceptible to illnesses

like scarlet fever, yellow fever,

smallpox, things like that

and we were seeing our youth in this era dying in droves.

So, a lot of the times you'll find that these whole neighborhoods

were built on sites where, yeah, you would have children burial sites there.

All they did was remove the headstones but not the bodies.

And amazingly,

the children's cemetery isn't the only potential source of the activity.

A friend of mine told me that where our house sits,

it actually used to be a trail for, like, wagons back in the day.

Apparently, the area Eldorado,

this area where these homes are built,

was part of the wagon trail when the West was being settled,

which was a brutal and a rough road these people literally had to travel

and people got sick and died along the way.

If we are looking at an actual burial place for children

and we know that many of the victims of the difficult treks

that pioneers made were children,

that seems to up the possibility

that there might be not one but several ghostly child presences here

who might just be delighted to find themselves with companionship again.

Maybe.

Or could it be something much more terrifying?

When people believe they're encountering a child ghost, they let their guard down.

They might even invite it home with them.

But there is the old saying that the devil comes to us in pleasing shapes.

She might think that she's dealing with an innocent child ghost,

but you never know for sure.

It could be something very different and very dark.

Thus far, Lupe and her family

feel no negative energy in or around the house.

My kids don't feel fear. I don't feel fear. My husband doesn't feel fear.

I feel like it's just kids that still might think

that they're living and they just see toys and they wanna have fun.

And Lupe has no intention of putting an end to their good time.

They were just children who were taken too early or taken right on time.

I think they're actually just trying to play.

Coming up...

A selfie shoot is interrupted by a terrifying creature.

Usually when a ghost or apparition appears...

...it's in an area that seems to make sense...

...like a room they used to frequent or their favorite chair...

...but there are those times when something otherworldly

will appear in a place that seems illogical...

...like inside a kitchen cabinet...

...or hanging upside down in a doorway.

In these cases, there are those who believe

that what we are seeing is not a ghost in our space...

...but rather two separate dimensions intersecting for a brief moment.

Which is what may have been happening in Bolivia

when a man filming himself on his phone suddenly captured this...

April 2020, Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia.

Andy Salces is at home filming a music video on a cell phone

when someone or something makes a guest appearance.

Watch closely.

Did you see it?

Watch again.

As a grayish childlike face peeks out from behind the dresser.

Andy catches sight of it in the screen of his phone

and jumps up to investigate, but finds nothing.

Hi, my name is Andy Salces and I shot this video.

We have a clear shot from above and in front of the dresser

and we see just the edge of what looks like a forehead.

We get a sense of maybe some pale grayish skin,

what looks to be maybe the start of an eye

as it peers around the corner and then pulls back really fast.

The stringy black hair, the really white face,

you only see, like, a very sliver of the face,

but when you pause on the video,

you can see it is very clearly someone's face.

This scary face makes the video freaky,

but what makes it compelling is the reaction of the man.

He's just lying on the bed filming himself...

...and then he sees it.

He's stunned and it almost takes a beat before he goes to investigate.

That is believable to me.

And what makes this capture even more believable

is the incredibly tight space that this face popped out from.

If you look down on the floor, there's no subsequent shadow,

you don't see any hands, you don't see a knee,

you don't see anything crouching, just this head.

This creature reminds me of no other creature I've ever read about

that looks like this, that could be that skinny

to fit behind a dresser like that and then be totally gone.

There was no space for a human body.

Even if it was the smallest little human,

a baby couldn't even fit within that space.

So, if not a human...

...then what exactly are we seeing here?

And why is it hiding behind a dresser?

You know, how you hear those stories

of people living in other people's attics or basements or crawl spaces.

I imagine it's, like, the same with spirits

in that we're all occupying the same space,

but they don't want to cross paths with you

because they don't want you to know that they are there.

We live in a layered dimensional space

and so, in our dimensional reality

sometimes we'll come into, like, this little fringe

where we can see other dimensional realities

and so, let's say a spirit lives on another plane of existence,

there'll be, like, little pockets of moments

where they'll be able to kind of perceive us in a little snippet of time.

Sometimes you just have to hope

that your planes are close enough

to communicate with each other.

Unless, of course, it's something you don't want to communicate with.

My immediate thought is this guy has a pishtaco in his house.

Pishtacos are pale skinned vampiric-like creatures seen in the Andes,

not far from where this was filmed.

And what makes them so gross

is that they suck the fat out of living humans.

Terrifying.

For his part, Andy thinks that whatever it is,

it's more on the friendly side and he looks forward to seeing it again.

Coming up...

A pilot flying at 30,000 feet...

...spots what appears to be a UFO.

Commercial airline pilots are trained to be on the lookout

for anything that might interfere with the operation of their craft like birds...

...high-flying drones...

...and, of course, any other smaller aircraft

that may have inadvertently veered off course.

In each of these situations,

there is a protocol to ensure the safety of all on board.

But recently there is one situation that some pilots have run into...

...for which there is no official protocol.

And that's because there is no official explanation...

...for a UFO.

January 2021, somewhere in the skies over Pakistan.

A commercial airliner on route from Karachi to Lahore

is cruising at an altitude of 35,000 feet...

...but an hour into the trip, the flight captain spots this...

A round white object

flying parallel to the plane just a short distance away.

The crew in the cockpit

hold it in their sights for as long as they can

and they are all baffled.

As the pilot says,

this does not look like a balloon or another aircraft.

Rather, it's circular in shape,

it strikes me as somewhat metallic with this ring around it

and it appears to be emitting a light from its center.

I can't tell if this is some sort of alien craft

that's reflecting light

in a way that makes it look like a light orb or an anomaly,

or is this the actual look and structure of this UFO.

Could this be a portal or is this just another ship,

or is it a natural phenomenon that we haven't quite identified yet?

Whatever it is, why so close to the plane?

There has long been a theory amongst ufologists

that extraterrestrials are out there

and they are keeping an eye on us

and even watching our travels through the skies.

If so, they may have been watching us for quite a while.

One year earlier, a commercial pilot for Viva Air

is flying high above Medellin, Colombia...

...when he spots this at 30,000 feet.

A seemingly metallic geometrically shaped object

spinning through the air.

Once again the cockpit crew keep it in their sights until it disappears.

It doesn't look like any sort of object

I would expect to see up in the sky along with a commercial plane.

It's dark, it's solid,

it's almost blockish

in a way that doesn't seem like it would be particularly aerodynamic.

It seems to be under some kind of intelligent control,

like somebody might be controlling it from the inside.

It's not a plane or a helicopter or a drone or anything like that.

So then, assuming again it's not of this earth

and perhaps here to keep an eye on us, why so obvious?

Maybe it's just a flyby and a way of saying, "Howdy, partner."

Or what if this is a perfect way

to reveal themselves to an entire craft filled with eyewitnesses?

Well, if it's exposure they're looking for,

we're more than happy to give it to them.

But whatever these crafts are,

one thing's for sure,

in-flight entertainment has taken on a whole new meaning.

Who knows if whatever is piloting this unknown aircraft

is looking at a 747 going,

"Wow, what is that unidentified flying object I'm looking at?"

Maybe they're taking videos of these planes.

So, yeah, it's gonna be great when we figure this out.

Coming up...

Does this massive skeleton prove sea monsters exist?

The mythical Mediterranean Sea Dragon,

unlike the classic fire-breathing European dragon,

didn't have wings and lived mostly deep underwater.

It could grow to nearly 200 feet long.

And when it did slither onto land,

it devastated entire herds of livestock

and would occasionally eat a human whole.

Legend has it that it was finally hunted to extinction

nearly 2,000 years ago.

But a recent discovery not only suggests

these creatures may have once been real,

they may also still be alive and in the world today.

2017, Mediterranean Sea.

A researcher is conducting a routine sweep

of the sea floor in water that is over half a mile deep.

Because the pressure at that depth is so intense,

he is using a remotely-operated vehicle,

or ROV, with a deep-sea camera attached.

At first there isn't much to report...

...but then watch closely.

As the ROV's camera suddenly captures

what looks like some large vertebrae partially covered in silt.

And as the ROV goes from one end of the remains to the other,

it becomes clear that whatever this thing was, it was enormous.

Not believing what he's seeing,

the researcher uses the ROV's mechanical arm to try to take a sample.

But when he does...

...it immediately disintegrates.

Wanting to avoid any further damage

to what could be the discovery of a lifetime, he backs off...

...and sends the video to the only person he feels is qualified to analyze it...

...Deborah Hatswell, the head of BBR Investigations,

a global paranormal investigative team.

My name's Deborah Hatswell and I'm the owner of this video.

For the last 38 years,

I've been studying cases of the paranormal,

cryptid creatures, unexplained events,

missing people and alien abductions

and I've spoken to over 4,000 people

who've seen or experienced the unexplained.

So, suffice it to say,

Deborah has seen just about everything until now.

I was absolutely floored when I saw it.

And no wonder.

The skeleton is estimated to be 98 feet long,

similar in size to an oarfish or a whale,

but its particular bone structure

doesn't match up with either of these.

We're looking through this camera

at what appears to be a long series of vertebrae.

At one end we have something that looks, to my untrained eye,

to be a pelvis-like structure,

some sort of wider or more spread out, maybe shoulder blades even.

I'm seeing something that kind of suggests like it might be a mammal,

but then at the same time I'm seeing something

that suggests that it could be a serpent.

Baffled, Deborah shares the video with her network,

hoping to get a definitive ID and receives plenty of educated guesses.

The main answers that we got was a leviathan,

a hydra which is a seven-headed beast, or the kraken of legend.

And those legends started in this area, Rome, Greece, Portugal.

Stories of these creatures go back throughout history

and folklore and religious beliefs.

and they might have some validity to them.

Deborah believes they do...

...one in particular.

My favorite explanation for it is the mystery water dragon

and there is a legend of them in the Mediterranean.

Specifically, a creature called the Mediterranean Sea Dragon

which is said to have existed in the area

before being hunted to extinction nearly 2,000 years ago.

They were said to come on land

and they would take sheep and cattle and deer and goats

and it was one of the reasons that they became extinct

because the villagers would kill them.

And the legend still exists today.

Anytime we can align newly discovered moments

of the archaeological record with narrative legendary from the past,

we start to zero in on potential real existence of things.

And assuming by their condition

that these remains are less than 2,000 years old,

could these dragons still be around?

I 100% believe

that there are creatures, massive, massive creatures in the ocean

that we haven't discovered yet.

I do believe in the possibility

that sea serpents and dragons underwater exist.

I believe that there's a possibility

that prehistoric creatures are not truly extinct.

Although Deborah has yet to find a definitive answer,

one thing is certain...

...the possibility of monsters living under the sea

may no longer be a thing of fairytales.

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

Here are some tips to get it all on camera.

Never stop recording, even at 30,000 feet.

Trust that what you're seeing really is otherworldly.

Check your footage for anything unusual.

And if you do get something, email us at submitparanormal@gmail.com,

or connect with us on social media.
