Next on Paranormal Caught on Camera.

At an abandoned church in Ohio,

an urban explorer is stalked

by a shadow figure.

Thank God, at the time, I didn't see it,

'cause I would've ran out of that church.

A gym in Columbia

is haunted by a violent poltergeist.

Someone that we can't see

is dragging him around the room.

Are these flying creatures in Colorado,

aliens from another world?

What the are those?

It looked like it had one large body

and then tentacles kinda running off of it.

A grieving woman,

uses her TV...

If you know how much I love you, turn my TV on.

... to communicate with the dead.

I knew in my heart

that it was him.

And even more

paranormal footage you have to see...

... to believe.

Churches,

temples,

mosques,

when frequented by the faithful,

these religious buildings

are filled with positive spiritual energy.

But what happens

if they are abandoned

and fall into disrepair?

Some believe, the energy absorbed into the walls

will protect the sites for years,

while others think, the lack of use

can leave a spiritual vacuum

ripe for a takeover

by a darker, more dangerous energy.

Just ask one explorer in Ohio

who not only came face to face with that darkness,

he captured it on camera.

December, 2020,

Cleveland, Ohio.

Built in 1903,

the once glorious, Nativity Catholic Church

has sat abandoned

for decades,

which is precisely why Christopher Hill

wants to explore it.

My name is Christopher Hill,

and this is my video.

I mainly went there

for the architecture of the church.

It has a lot of pretty murals and paintings

still on the wall and on the ceiling.

The whole point of me

going there was to try to maybe capture some of that,

you know, before it's completely destroyed.

And though he's heard rumors

that the church may be haunted,

Christopher is not looking for ghosts.

I heard a lot about spooky things going on at that church,

but at the time I...

I didn't believe in ghosts.

But that doesn't mean, he's not going to find them.

Whether he knows it or not.

Did you catch that?

Watch again.

As the camera just catches a board

moving along the floor

all by itself.

It's not until Christopher

posts the video to social media

that he even sees the strange activity.

Multiple viewers asked me if I saw the board sliding across the ground.

So the fact that it happened right in front of my face

and I didn't notice it, that really freaked me out.

You see a piece of wood that almost looks like a T-square

laying down on the right of the frame.

And as he's walking past it, it moves out of his way,

almost like it's intentionally moving out of his way.

That wood

could come from a piece of furniture within that space

that has a lot of spiritual energy attachment to it.

Was it part of a pew

or some kind of prayer table?

Was it part of a confessional stand?

And that's not the only bizarre thing he finds.

Listen closely.

A disembodied voice seems to whisper...

leave.

I know at the time, I did not hear that.

I... I would have noticed someone saying leave.

But that is nothing

compared to what happens when Christopher

heads down to the basement.

I immediately got a creepy vibe

and on top of that, it was extremely cold,

you could see my breath.

Once again,

his camera captures something

his eyes do not.

But this time,

whatever it is,

it's standing right in front of him.

Watch again.

As Christopher pans across the basement,

a dark, menacing figure

can be seen standing motionless

next to a large brick column.

I replayed it over and over,

and I like to debunk things,

so I tried to debunk it all. Maybe this was my shadow

being cast, since it has a head and shoulders,

but there was no way.

It's almost like a black hole of a person.

There's... there's no definition whatsoever

other than the clear outline of a human being.

What I noticed were two things right away.

The hood like figure that this resembled

and this black was blacker than black

in regards to the shadow people that are often seen.

So who or what could this be?

And is it connected to the church's pious past?

This is a spot

where people experienced strong emotions.

From joy, at a baptism

to suffering grief and loss during funerals.

It seems likely to me

that the history of this church

could, in theory, lay the groundwork

for paranormal activity.

Having been raised Catholic,

I have always had this deep-seated belief

that if a house of worship was abandoned or left empty,

that eventually something

would come in to take its place.

This is an abandoned church,

a place that was filled with people

with spiritual, religious intent

and that's now empty and missing and gone.

So what's gonna move in

something that maybe might exist,

in opposition to those earlier presences.

Whatever has moved in,

Christopher believes the message it was sending him

is crystal clear.

I felt like this spirit really wanted me to leave and it showed itself.

Thank God, at the time, I didn't see it,

'cause I would have ran out that church.

But that's not going to stop him

from going back again.

I'm gonna go back at night,

I'm gonna bring a lot more cameras and equipment.

Hopefully, I can communicate to the spirit

and, uh, maybe even help it, maybe help it,

you know, move on to the next life.

Coming up...

a grieving woman in Ohio...

If you know how much I love you, turn my TV on.

... channels the afterlife.

The loss of a loved one

is one of life's most traumatic experiences,

and when that death is sudden and unexpected,

the grief and anguish intensify.

So it's no surprise

that in the days and weeks that follow a passing,

people have reported after death contacts.

Where the recently deceased, breakthrough

to communicate with the living.

Experiences that can be as heart-wrenching

as they are comforting.

Just ask Angie Hill,

whose boyfriend came back to deliver one final message

through her TV.

If you know how much I love you, turn my TV on.

August, 2020,

Norwood, Ohio.

Angie Hill is still reeling from the sudden,

painful loss of her boyfriend,

who died by suicide just three weeks earlier.

And one day,

as she goes through their personal things,

something remarkable happens.

My name is Angie Hill, and I recorded this video.

He actually did it four days before my birthday.

We were face timing,

so I'd seen everything happen.

It was the worst thing, I don't wish on anybody.

Weeks later,

I was in my room

trying to sort my thoughts,

and I was kinda talking to my boyfriend

and all of a sudden, my TV come on.

Angie is startled.

Then, a thought comes to mind.

I asked if that was him,

and it went off

and then it came on again

and I asked him if he was okay,

and he turned it off.

I grabbed my phone and started recording.

I know you're here, I can feel you.

Please do it, just one more time for me.

Just please turn it on.

Turn my TV on.

Thank you so much, Jeff.

I hope you're doing okay.

Does that mean you're not okay,

'cause you turned it off?

If you're doing all right, please...

So you're all right?

Okay, no, you're not.

I realized that it was him

just because he always

did like, little stupid stuff like that to me.

If I was watching something he would change it or,

you know, turn it up or turn it down.

And just to be sure,

Angie even unplugs the TV

and takes the batteries out of the remote.

If you're doing all right, please turn on my TV.

Thank you.

I miss you, Jeff, so much.

Remarkably,

the unplugged television continues to power off and on

in response to Angie's questions

for two hours.

I hope you know how much I love you.

If you know how much I love you, turn my TV on.

When I first saw this clip,

it almost brought me to tears.

I mean, more than it is spooky,

more than it highlights the presence of the paranormal,

it's heartbreaking,

it highlights the presence of grief and loss.

Hearing the pain in her voice, you really, I... I feel it.

I feel it. I don't know anyone who could watch this video

and not feel some sort of emotion for her

and for the situation. It's tragic.

Please talk to me.

The television set doesn't seem to be going

on and off at... at random times.

It... it seems instead to be responding

to her communications with it,

um, as if she is making comments or asking questions,

and... and in response the...

the television set is reacting.

There's my remote,

they're not touching each other or anything.

So...

how could this be happening?

I miss you so much.

I think that when the death of a loved one

really disrupts someone's life,

sometimes the dead will come back

and let you know that they're okay

so that the living can move on

and progress and get out of this emotional rut.

It's one of the most commonly reported

paranormal experiences people have,

is someone who's recently deceased,

appearing to them, communicating with them,

giving some sort of signal that says,

"Hey, this isn't just anyone, it's me."

But if it is a signal from beyond,

why send it through a TV?

The fact that the television was an object

that her boyfriend had played with in the past,

he would mess with the settings,

play with the television.

It just goes to show that this is something that he would've done in life

and so therefore makes sense for him to do in death,

so that she knows that he's in fact, communicating with her.

Angie agrees

and believes she knows

what he was trying to say.

I knew in my heart that it was him saying,

"Hey, I still got you, I'm okay, more or less."

And the experience

has changed her life forever.

There is life out there

that we may not see

and don't know about

and just always keep your eyes open.

You never know, uh,

what's going on around you or what can happen.

If you know how much I love you, turn my TV on.

Coming up...

are these two bizarre forms in the sky...

What the are those?

... creatures from another world?

Did you know that there's a creature from Earth

that can survive without oxygen...

or the atmosphere?

It's called a Tardigrade

or water bears.

In 2007,

scientists put a bunch of these adorable,

microscopic animals

on the outside of a rocket...

that orbited the Earth for 10 days.

And remarkably...

most of them survived.

So then, if an earthling

can evolve to survive the cold vacuum of space,

why not...

an alien?

That's the question that one man in Colorado is asking

after he captured two bizarre forms in the sky

that may have journeyed to Earth...

without a craft.

What the are those?

August, 2021,

Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Josh Stoner is driving home from work,

when he spots something unusual in the sky.

So unusual, he pulls over.

That's in the sky right now, everybody.

What the are those?

Watch, as two large, black objects

with flowing tentacle like appendages

appear to swim through the sky...

That's in the sky here, I'll zoom out.

...as if they are alive.

Like I'm in my car, just chilling.

What the are those?

Explain.

My name is Josh Stoner,

and I am indeed the one that filmed the video.

It was a little bit frightening at first,

'cause it was something that I've never seen before.

It seemed so big, in fact,

that it literally caught my eye

a full mile away from where I was.

And so as I drove closer and closer,

it was the movement of the larger one

that really caught me off guard.

You know, it really

kind of brought whatever it was in the sky to life for me.

What the are those things?

Are these things kites?

They don't look like any kites I've ever seen.

They also look to be flying, uh, too high to be kites.

Not only that, uh, there are two of them

that really seem to be interacting with each other,

flying in different directions than one another.

And we see them changing direction,

moving back and forth so that those long streamers

whip in different directions,

whatever direction the wind is blowing in.

These are objects moving

opposite it or of their own volition.

That's in the sky right now, everybody.

It was like watching a squid in the ocean,

you know, where a squid can like, move and stay stagnant

while it's like, moving its limbs.

I've never seen

a biological UFO

look so similar to something that we've seen

terrestrially, like,

squids, octopus that we have in our oceans.

So then, what exactly are we seeing here?

A UFO

or some kind of sky cryptid?

This does not look like something normal,

it does look like something alive, like a creature up in the sky.

This could possibly be

some kind of biological creatures

that live very high up in the atmosphere,

and they might only come down closer to Earth

when the atmospheric conditions are right.

A lot of people believe that these things

are living things that live in the air and the water.

They certainly don't look like UFOs

in the terms of crafts like,

hard disks or whatever.

These seem to be almost flesh and blood,

sort of like a flying cephalopod.

Whether it's a saucer or a cigar

or an orb or a triangle,

we look at that and say, "That's a ship."

But something like this

that looks inherently organic,

we tend not to assume alien craft

but of course,

why wouldn't an alien craft

be inherently organic in nature?

Why not?

Indeed.

But for his part,

Josh thinks it could be something

even more mind-blowing,

an extraterrestrial,

minus the craft.

What if out there,

there's creatures that live in space, right?

Like, it's an expanding, never-ending universe.

So maybe there's

hundreds of billions of creatures out there

that don't need oxygen to survive,

don't need certain living conditions

that we would normally need.

Say, they don't have a respiratory system,

they wouldn't need to breathe, right?

Anything is possible.

That's in the sky right now, everybody.

That's in the sky.

Whatever these things are.

They've certainly changed

the way Josh views the world.

I definitely catch myself like,

keeping my eyes more peeled.

I might be going out there searching for more

paranormal activity-creatures

to record and potentially get my life

threatened by.

And believe it or not,

sightings like this,

may be just the beginning.

Within the paranormal community

and amongst a large

field of researchers,

there is an emerging consensus,

that we are approaching a paradigm shift,

that things are about to get a whole lot weirder.

What the are those?

Coming up,

a man at a gym is attacked

and dragged by a ghost.

They say, working out is good for the body,

mind, and spirit.

But what kind of spirit exactly

are they talking about?

For one gym-goer in South America,

it may have been...

the paranormal kind,

because when he decided to hit the gym,

the gym apparently,

decided to hit back.

June 2021,

Columbia, South America.

A man is on the second floor of a gym

preparing to workout.

And he has the whole area to himself,

or so he thinks.

Watch closely.

As two CCTV cameras

from opposite ends of the room

capture some bizarre activity.

Do you see it?

These suspension-training ropes are swinging

on their own,

each in different directions.

The gym-goer doesn't seem to be bothered

by the swinging ropes.

But he is bothered by this.

A medicine ball rolling all by itself.

Freaked out,

the man decides to pack up his stuff and leave.

But as he heads for the doorway...

Watch again in slow motion

as some unseen force

seems to flip the man on his back,

grab his leg and forcefully

drag him across the floor.

Terrified, the man scrambles to free himself,

runs from the room without his things

and goes straight to the main desk.

Desperately trying to explain what happened

to a startled employee.

So...

what exactly did we just see here?

This clip

really is like an exercise,

pun actually not intended, in escalation.

We see someone working out,

we see what looks like

maybe some hanging equipment swinging off to the side,

no evident reason why it would be swinging.

Then we see a ball start rolling

and we get a pretty clear view of it.

Nothing touched that ball, and after that,

it just goes off the rails.

I mean, he gathers up his stuff,

looks like he's getting ready to leave,

and he's literally like, flipped over.

We see he has a leg up in the air

like someone that we can't see is wrestling him

or holding him down or dragging him around the room.

It seems impossible that he... he could be

moving across the floor

like that under his own power.

There seems to be an unseen force

that's actually dragging him as he fights against it.

This is dramatic stuff.

This poor guy looks like he's being thrown to the ground

and tossed about like a rag doll.

And if he is being dragged away,

I can't help but wonder

where is he being dragged to?

Where, indeed?

So...

what kind of force

could knock a man to the ground

and then

try to drag him somewhere?

Every location has history.

Plus, this is a place where people are coming and going all the time,

and they might be carrying

their own attachments with them.

Additionally, consider that as they are working out,

they are quite literally

expelling energy.

Maybe some of that energy

sticks around.

This definitely seems to be violent

I don't know if it's attention-getting

or if there is any kind of real malice involved

as far as the... the spirit

being angry and wanting to hurt somebody.

It's entirely possible,

as with any individual sort of building.

The presence that's there

is someone who's spent a lot of time there,

someone who's strongly identified with this place,

I mean, the attack that we see

could easily be some form of jujitsu or martial arts

where this guy gets thrown down

and his legs being held up.

This could be the spirit of a deceased gym patron

who just kinda still wants to have a workout-buddy.

We may never know who or what

was present in the gym that day.

But we do know this,

if the man who was attacked

ever steps foot in that gym again,

he might wanna consider...

taking a few martial arts classes of his own.

Coming up... Is this face in the window

a heartbroken ghost

from long ago?

Heartbreak and regret.

Some say, the pain of these often devastating emotions

can linger,

and haunt us for generations to come.

That's the story of Ginevra King

and F. Scott Fitzgerald.

An affair so emotionally fraught,

it was one inspiration

behind Fitzgerald's renowned work,

The Great Gatsby.

But could it also be strong enough

to cause a haunting?

Just ask a woman from Illinois

who may have captured a shocking image

of the woman Fitzgerald loved...

and lost.

2018,

Lake Forest, Illinois.

For years, Kristie Ranieri and her husband

have strolled by this historic neighborhood home,

often taking photos as they do.

Then, one day,

one of those photos

chills them to the bone.

I'm Kristie Ranieri, and I took the photo.

It was just another day of walking the property.

I've been walking the estate and documenting

her home for about 12 years.

It had been run down.

The people that bought it

have great plans for it, to bring it back to its glory.

Built in 1905,

the mansion

was once the home of F. Scott Fitzgerald's first love,

Ginevra King,

a youthful affair from 1915 to 1917,

which came to an end...

when she married a wealthy suitor.

Fitzgerald was so heartbroken,

Ginevra became the inspiration

for the infamous Daisy Buchanan

in his classic, The Great Gatsby.

When Ginevra met F. Scott Fitzgerald,

it was love at first sight

and infatuation at first sight,

and it really became a story for the ages.

On this day, like every other,

Kristie snaps a few photos of the now-abandoned home

and doesn't think too much more about it...

until she and her husband

review the photos later...

and see something remarkable.

My husband said,

"Honey, come in here, there's something you have to see."

And he showed me the picture and, uh,

I just... my mouth dropped

and we got chills.

It was undeniably a face

in the window.

Look closely...

at what appears to be

a woman with an ashen, white face...

gazing forlornly out a third-storey window.

The odd image certainly spooks the couple,

and compels Kristie

to do a little more research

on Ginevra King.

When I, uh, saw

the photo of, "the ghost",

I'm like, "I've gotta look at more pictures of Ginevra King."

And it was amazing

because the picture was so close in similarity.

It's striking how much it's...

looks like her.

The forehead, everything was... it was her, it was shocking.

And so, it's probably

a ghost of her in her late 60s I would say, early 70s,

and it's very plain to see.

So, could this really be the ghost

of Ginevra King?

It looks kind of like

a very black and white,

high-contrast profile of a woman's face

looking downwards,

almost like she's looking out the window

down at the first level.

And you could see

the apparition looked like an older version of King,

but it still had all the same features of her,

which I thought was really interesting.

When you see that anguish-looking face

in the window, it's... it's really not hard

to imagine that, that's the image of her standing there.

This was a woman who was never really happy

and perhaps threw away her one chance at happiness

when she jilted Scott Fitzgerald.

The idea that a deceased woman

made famous by the stories that grew out

of her life experiences

might be retained in that space,

might be given enough energy by our collective attention

to manifest, to appear. That makes sense.

Especially,

if Ginevra had some deep,

unresolved feelings

related to her affair with Fitzgerald.

After her romance with Scott Fitzgerald

she went on to become a prominent socialite.

She appeared on the cover of Town and Country magazine,

and she married a wealthy capitalist.

But she was never happy, and the marriage ended in divorce.

I think when you have

unrequited love or restricted love

or forbidden love in a lifelong scenario,

when a person passes away

without allowing themselves

to experience that love,

those energies come back

to recreate that romance.

Something like, long-standing,

unrequited love and longing absolutely

can imprint itself

to a building, a space, a region.

And it's intriguing to think

that such intense humanity took place here

that it never can leave.

And perhaps,

just as her spirit lives on in this old home,

maybe it also lives on

in The Great Gatsby.

I do think even when it comes to a novel,

perhaps immortalizing

a person by creating this work of fiction,

maybe there is some sort of energy

that manifests as a result of it.

I think she's waiting for the party again.

She was the center of attention at one time

and forgotten about for a very long time.,

and now

I think she's ready to be back in it.

Coming up,

a UFO over Sydney

defies the laws of physics.

Of all recent UFO sightings,

there is one uniquely-shaped craft,

which keeps reappearing...

Damn, look at that.

...over and over...

I'm not exactly sure what it is.

...confounding watchers across the world.

- I bet-- - But it's not an airplane.

It's a cylindrical-shaped, wingless white craft...

It's like a cigar shape.

...that some ufologists have dubbed,

the Tic Tac UFO.

I don't see wings on it.

And it's made yet another appearance,

this time in the wide-open skies

of Australia.

Well, it's a plane surely. No.

Where is its wings?

August, 2020. Sydney, Australia.

Aldo Cassisi and his friend Peter Ryan,

are working on their cars in the driveway,

when they spot something odd in the sky.

Both immediately begin to film.

It's got a vapor trail thing on it.

A glowing, white cylindrical object

is cruising over their homes.

Peter shoots it from one angle...

It's a plane, surely. No.

Where is its wings?

...Aldo from another.

And even though this cigar-shaped craft

appears to be missing, a critical component for flight.

It's got no wings. Whatever the it is.

It's somehow able to move through the sky

with remarkable force and speed.

It's up high.

So, what are they looking at?

Hi, my name is Aldo Cassisi,

and I have videoed the UFO over Sydney.

That afternoon, we were both working on the cars,

and I happened to look up

and I see this unusual plane, basically without wings.

There you go, beyond the cloud.

Are they hidden or is a... in a... in a different position where maybe...

maybe the sun's hidden it and you're not seeing wings?

But no, it wasn't anything like that at all.

What we are seeing here

is a smooth, white, oblong object

that resembles a capsule or a Tic Tac breath mint...

that is traveling at high speeds without any wings

or any discernible means of propulsion.

How is it staying aloft?

Where is the lift coming from? Where is the resistance?

Where's the thrust

of an engine or something behind it?

But no, it's just

a cylinder-shaped object.

We do see what looks like

a vapor trail or a contrail,

but we don't hear any noise,

we don't see any engines or windows.

It's just this this, uh,

this thin cylindrical object moving through the sky.

It's definitely not a helicopter, uh, it's not a drone.

Uh, certainly not sky lanterns or balloons or anything like that.

It doesn't seem to have wings, so it's not a plane.

So that leaves a lot of open questions

as to what it might be.

Aldo has the same questions.

In fact, the only thing he knows for certain

is that he's seen something just like this before.

I've seen something similar

back in December it was 2018,

at a velocity of just,

I can't explain, it was just so fast.

Knowing that this same kind of object,

this Tic Tac style UFO

has appeared before in this same location

suddenly gives us a little bit more

to be going on with. This isn't necessarily a singularity.

Whatever this thing is doing,

whatever its purpose or function might be,

it's been doing it for a while.

We're getting more and more of these unique

shapes, these Tic Tac UFOs,

which are becoming way more commonplace

in these past few years than ever before in our history.

Whatever this object is,

Aldo is just thrilled

that he caught it on camera.

Not only did I get to see it,

but I got to capture it,

and, uh, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

It's a plane, surely. No.

Where is its wings?

What should you do in the event

you witness something paranormal?

What the are those? Explain.

Here are some tips to get it all on camera.

Never stop recording.

If you're doing all right, please turn on my TV.

Even if you're overwhelmed...

I miss you, Jeff, so much.

...trust that what you're seeing

really is otherworldly.

Where is it's wings?
