Next on Paranormal
Caught on Camera.

An investigator communicates
with ghostly prisoners...

I don't like
that doll. - ...using a doll.

Do you see that?
Is it just me? - Yes.

No matter how innocent looking a doll might be,

if it turns its head towards
you like this,

suddenly that's no longer
child's play.

A man in Ireland comes face to face

with a mysterious creature.

It was the most
horrendous frightening experience of my life.

A seance calls a spirit...

- ...who becomes violent.
-

When the guy
starts screaming, I'm like, "What is happening?"

And all the people on
my side are saying, he just got dragged.

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

- ...to believe.

Ten billion acres of land
on this Earth are covered

by forest that is largely
uninhabited by humans.

Which means that for all
the life on Earth we do know about,

there has to be plenty more
we have yet to discover.

So next time you take
a walk in the woods,

look a little closer
and you might get as lucky

as one man in Ireland

who came across a creature
that was so new

and so startling,

that it quite literally...

took his breath away.

January 2023
in Cork, Ireland.

David O'Donoghue is on
a solo hike in the woods,

his camera recording
in the event he comes across

any interesting wildlife,

when something nearby
strikes him as odd.

Hello there, I'm David.

I'm from County Cork
in Ireland...

But as David
points the camera at what he believes

is only a trash bag,

he begins to realize
it's not.

Watch closely.

Watch again, zoomed in.

When David inches closer
and closer to the black mass,

it suddenly retreats.

I like
to imagine myself in the shoes of this person

as they're trying to get
away from the hustle and bustle

and take a solitary,
peaceful walk through nature.

And then they see this.

This thing is really staring
at this individual

for a long time.

In fact, a ridiculously
long time

before it kind of starts
to go away.

What it seems to be is almost
like the stereotypical image

of the Grim Reaper with
the dark black robe and hood.

I've always thought of the Grim Reaper

as something metaphorical.

But sometimes
we've seen in these videos

cloaked figures, dark figures.

So maybe these Grim Reaper
kind of dark entities

are real creatures.

Maybe.

But another detail about
the capture may indicate

something else entirely.

That looks like it was peeking out from like

a sliver of space and time,
like from another dimension.

Like it was peeking out
from behind a tree.

There was some sort
of way it can kind of be half

in our world
and half in another.

It didn't make sense.
Like, how come we don't see

the rest of that hooded figure
behind this skinny trunk?

Good question.

And one that brings up
the possibility of this

being another
type of being altogether.

This is a Bigfoot.

In my opinion,
this is the classic tree peeking

that they will do.

But hold on
a second.

What kind of Bigfoot

would be in Ireland?

In Ireland and Europe, they have what's known as

the Green Man, which is this
elemental type being

and very similar to
Sasquatch or Bigfoot.

And I do believe that
this is more of a spiritual

or interdimensional entity.

And for me, this mimics
exactly what people

are encountering in the States

with Bigfoots peeking
behind trees,

people seeing them in
the shadow-like form.

And given the mythical qualities of this area,

perhaps we shouldn't be
so surprised.

As soon as I took into account
the location of Cork, Ireland,

my mind went straight
to fairies,

specifically the puca.

Now, this is a type of fae
that is a shapeshifter

and can take the form of
any number of animals.

But in all instances,
it is typically very black

or even covered
in black hair.

And what is this thing
except seemingly human height,

but incredibly black?

Grim Reaper.

Bigfoot.

Puca.

Whatever David saw
in the woods that day,

one thing's for certain.

It has changed him forever.

Coming up...

I don't like
that doll.

A doll is manipulated...

It's like
it's turning to look at us. - What the hell?

You see that?
Is it just me? - Yes.

...by the dead.

Of all the allegedly
haunted hotspots

in the world,

there is arguably
no surer thing for paranormal activity

than an abandoned jail,
the walls of which

are said to hold onto
a uniquely negative energy

that reverberates long after
its final resident

leaves their holding cell.

And if you add to that energy
a trigger object like,

of all things,

a doll...

proceed at your own risk.

Just ask a paranormal
investigator in Florida

who used a doll
in an old prison

that was quickly seized upon
by its dead prisoners.

It's like
it's turning to look at us. - What the hell?

Do you see that?
Is it just me? - Yes. No, no, no.

It's moving again.

August 2020,
in Jasper, Florida,

paranormal investigator
Clayton Golda

and his colleague Heather
are exploring

the old Hamilton County Jail,
an abandoned lockup

with an ominous reputation.

It's very hot.
Is there a fan up here?

My name is Clayton Golda,
and I filmed the video.

We decided to film
at Jasper Prison because

it's a famous known prison.
It's known to have hauntings.

So it was the goal of ours
to go up there

and spend the night in
the actual prison and film there

and see for ourselves
what we can get.

The old
Hamilton County prison has seen a lot of

strange things go on in there,
especially because it was

a co-ed prison.

There were inmates,
female inmates,

getting pregnant
and having babies in that prison.

Not to mention,
people were still

being hung there
in the 1900s.

It's not hard to imagine that
in the nearly 100 years

of its operations
and all the violence that went on here,

including hangings,

there might be some spirits
hanging around.

But according to Clayton, whichever spirits

are still hanging around
seem to center their activity

near a specific part of
the prison, a child's bedroom.

I don't
like that doll. - Yeah.

I've heard the sheriff
stayed there, like it was his house,

and he ran the prison,
and it was one of their children

that lived with them.

So I want to do a spirit box
and REM pod.

And I want to bring
that doll and put her up here on the bed.

It's our belief that
the doll was there

with the child when
they lived there.

And it wasn't that
they staged it to make it look old time.

It's a lot of the stuff that
was actually there.

And the doll itself
is something that

we've heard a lot
of rumors about.

The rumors being
that in the right conditions,

with the right questions,
the doll moves.

We got
the creepy doll set up. We got the REM pod.

We got the necrophonic.

And what's your thing called?
K2 meter? - K2 meter, yeah.

One of the things
that I noticed about

this specific investigation
is that they were trying

overlapping methods,
which is good.

They have all different
gadgets and ways to overlap

that if something happens,
it can be verified by

a number of sources.

And soon...

Do you know
who we are? Like, can you tell us our names?

...something does happen.

- Is that--
- Whoa. Whoa,

whoa, whoa.
Look at the doll. - Yeah, I see it.

Oh, my gosh.

Nothing around the doll
is moving.

It's not like there's
a huge draft in the room

or somebody's shaking
the bed.

We can see the bed
is very still

and the the doll appears
to be quite stable

until it isn't anymore.

It was surprising,
but we wanted that.

So to have it move,
it wasn't scary.

It didn't frighten me.
That's what I was there for.

That's what we were
all there for.

And if that's what
they are there for...

Look,
do you see that?

It looked like the doll, like, moved a little bit.

The doll,
or whatever is manipulating it,

is happy to oblige.

Oh, my God,
the K2 meter just fell over.

Oh, my God, Clay,
this is so creepy.

Whoa, okay.

We see the doll moving in
very strange ways

at points like it's kind of
sitting up.

Not just kind of slumping
over left or right,

but literally almost like
it's rising,

which is pretty creepy.

And only
minutes later, after they've reset the doll again,

the creepiness reaches
a crescendo.

Thank you for trying
to talk with us.

The head's moving.

I thought I saw that.

It's like it's turning, looking at us.

What the hell?

Do you see that?
Is it just me?

Yes. No, no, no.
It's moving again.

It's like the head
turned to us.

No matter
how innocent looking a doll might be,

if it turns its
head towards you like this,

suddenly, that's no longer
child's play.

Oh, there goes
the meter again. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

- Oh, my God!
- Off the bed!

Off the bed,
off the bed. - Oh, my God.

Are you serious
right now?

Holy.

To me, it felt like
a reassuring push.

This is us.

Here's a little more proof
that we can try to give you.

It didn't feel something
was coming at us or something.

It didn't even feel like
something was trying to scare us.

I felt like I was a part
of a real conversation.

A conversation that
wasn't necessarily with

a spirit haunting the doll,
but perhaps just using it.

So often there is
this assumption with

a so-called haunted doll
that it's possessed by

a spirit or entity.

But what if the activity
is coming from without,

not within?

When you have it
in a location such as

this old haunted jail,
maybe it's being

manipulated upon by
some other ghost that

is in the building.

Given the number
of spirits that could be dwelling in this place,

anything is possible.

This is definitely a place
I would say is,

if you want activity,
if you want to experience

possible hauntings
or possible paranormal activity,

this is a place that
I would put my stamp on as a place to go.

Coming up,
a young man at a seance...

...is manhandled by a ghost.

A seance
is a meeting led by a spiritual medium

with the explicit intention
of establishing contact

with the dead.

The practice gained traction
during the spiritualist movement

of the late 19th century
and continues to this day,

with some even
engaging in it

- as a form of entertainment.
-

But those who wish
to participate for any reason

should prepare themselves.

Because as one young man
in Canada recently found out,

when exposed to something
drawn out from the other side...

That something
may try to drag you...

...back in.

October 30th, 2022,
in Toronto, Canada.

Jaymes White is
a professional medium

who claims to have led
1,400 seances,

primarily for anyone
interested in learning about

the afterlife.

Tonight, he leads
a large group seance

at an inn that dates back
to the mid-1800s

and has an alleged
dark history that Jaymes feels

could promise some
good spiritual communication.

I'm Jaymes White,
and this is my video.

It was
a brothel, essentially.

And so people from
around Canada,

when they were
passing through...

Thus far,
the evening has been relatively uneventful.

But as
the attendees hold hands in a circular formation,

and Jaymes, who is just off
camera beneath the frame,

continues with
the questions...

...watch closely.

Watch again.

As Jaymes attempts
to get a response

from any spirit that
might be present,

...one of the participants...

...is flung backwards
in his chair

by an unseen force.

And Jaymes is baffled.

I didn't believe it until
I saw the footage.

Not much was happening.

Oh, my God.

And all of a sudden,
the guy starts screaming.

I'm like, "What is happening?"

And all the people on
my side are saying, "He just got dragged."

It's not like a soft drag.
He got launched.

Oh, my God.

That's
really startling.

I mean, you can see
that he's not, you know,

holding on to anything
and kind of pushing himself back

or having a fainting spell
or something that

could be explained.

He's literally being pulled,
yanked backwards.

It seemed personal.

To be honest, it seemed
like that man owed somebody

some money.

Uh, I did not move it.

While the young man
emerges shaken

but physically unharmed,

...Jaymes does
the responsible thing

and quickly initiates the end
of the ceremony

before things get
any more out of hand.

We had
to close the circle right away because

we didn't want anything
following him home.

But it was kind of violent
because a lot of seances,

they're not violent.

They're kind of,
you know, nice.

They're more positive.

But that one had
a negative feeling when we were doing it.

But why
was this individual seemingly targeted

in the first place?

And could it have anything
to do with the inn's alleged

unsavory history where
children apparently went missing?

And I think it was directly
related to him.

I think it was
targeting him.

He was a kind of more
of a quiet person,

so maybe a lot of times,
they pick on the quieter person.

He also seemed kind of
the younger in the group,

so this could just be
a theory, but we're saying that the house

had issues, like,
with kids going missing.

If he's the youngest one
in the group, maybe.

Knowing that this particular location

has a tie to children,
to youth, to young people,

and that this person who had
this clearly bizarre

and unique experience
was the youngest person

in the group,
just the logic of that

lets something fall
into place, I think.

Maybe there was something
malicious that happened

to those children in
that home,

and that particular spirit
might have some connection to that.

That's certainly possible.

But regardless of the reason,
a cautionary tale,

perhaps, that reaching out
to the other side is

not without potential
consequences.

You're opening
the veil for things to come in

from the other side...

...to communicate with you,
use your energy,

be present among you.

Sometimes something
might come through

you don't want
to mess with.

Fortunately,
Jaymes appears experienced enough

to handle these kinds
of situations,

despite some people
getting a little more than

they bargained for.

I always make the joke
that when they're scared

or they're going home crying
or whatever,

I'm always like,
"You all paid for this."

So it's kind of funny.

People got their
money's worth,

and I hope they gave that
experience five stars.

Five stars.

Coming up...

Do these two glowing
blue eyes

...belong to a dog man?

In 1936, in Jefferson,
Wisconsin,

over the course of
two consecutive evenings,

a night watchman at a school
claims to have confronted

a snarling half man,
half beast...

...that became known as
the Beast of Bray Road.

As sightings of the creature
increased across Wisconsin

over the subsequent decades,

the idea of the existence
of dogmen

became even
more widespread.

And if you ask one
Wisconsin man today,

all you need to do to see
one of these creatures

for yourself is to find
the portal they use to travel

to and from our world,

take out your camera...

and wait.

February 2023,
near the National Forest in Wisconsin.

Amateur cryptid hunter
Jake Graskey

is perched in the woods,

his camera zoomed in
directly at a particular tree

that he believes is used
by various cryptids

as they come and go
to and from the area.

When suddenly...

Watch closely
as two bright blue eyes peer out

from the darkness
and then...

Blinking.

...begin to blink.

Blinking.

My name's Jake,
and I film these videos.

Oh, boy.

This tree I call
the portal tree,

and there's a lot of beings
that come out of this tree.

I saw this entity.

It had all black fur,
but piercing blue eyes.

I've never seen something
that blue.

It's like piercing
electric blue.

And as stunning
as this capture is,

it gets even more so
just minutes later.

Blinking the left eye.

If you watch, you'll see
the eyes start to pulsate,

and then you'll see other
beings multiply behind it.

Blinking the left eye.

What doesn't really translate
is the noises going on

around you,
the things that are moving. Um...

The things that you feel.

There's movement over there,
branches cracking.

I'm going to shut this down.

It's something that
you can only really experience

when you're there.

At one point,
we do see what appears

to be a face with a snout.

And then there are
two distinct blue lights

where the eyes would be.

And they seem to be blinking.

I do see faces.
I see what looks like

some almost shape-shifting
happening.

Blinking
the right eye now.

And clearly
it looks like we see it almost blinking.

So I think this is a really
incredible capture

and just a lot more time
needs to be spent diving through this.

For his part,
Jake has already spent a good deal

of his time
diving through it.

And because of his experience, he believes he knows who,

or what, the blue eyes
he's captured on this day belong to.

The blue-eyed beings
are some kind of dog man.

They know that
they're being filmed,

and they often
don't like it.

They'll put up with it
to a certain point.

When they don't like it,
that's when branches

start snapping,

rocks start getting thrown.

The energy just picks up.

Like, you feel it
in all of your cells.

You feel it in your body.

And everything in your mind
and body is telling you,

"Shut the camera off
and get out of here."

There is a lot
of folklore in Wisconsin,

even here in Michigan
and kind of around

the upper Midwest about
what is referred to

as the Dogman.

It's believed that
the dog man is a creature

that can stand on
his hind legs.

Sometimes being as high
as seven to eight feet tall,

leaves scratch marks
sometimes on people's doors.

People feeling that
something is outside their home,

walking on the roof,
knocking on the windows,

looking at them,
trying to get at them.

Or even stories where
this particular creature

has abducted someone
or killed someone.

That's not something
we hear a lot about Bigfoot

or Sasquatch
as a cryptid.

It's something a lot more
particular to the Dogman.

Stories made even
more terrifying by

how Jake believes
these cryptids travel

undetected from one place
to the next.

The main thing
to understand,

they are literally one
with nature,

so they can merge into trees,
bushes, the foliage,

and merge out of it.

The energy, the vibration
of nature

is something that
they are one with

and it's something that
we don't fully understand.

This idea that cryptids
have this capability to cloak,

a lot of the Native American
tribes have talked about

this capability, this ability
that they have,

the shape-shifting,
but also that they could be

right next to you
and you wouldn't even know it.

So the fact that
this is repeated

and talked about
also tells us that

we're dealing with something
that is maybe interdimensional

or spiritual.

Not necessarily a material,

three-dimensional
type of being.

Now, not everyone has evolved
a language to speak back to nature,

but very few of us
have that ability.

And so when you tap into it,
you understand

the synchronistic events
that happen around nature,

and then you understand
the language they're speaking to you,

then you start to see
elementals everywhere you go.

And as Jake believes he has truly tapped into that,

he hopes to capture
as much footage of them

as he can.

I guess my goal is to raise,
uh, the consciousness of humanity

the best way I can...

Oh, boy.

...and let people know
what is actually around them

and that you are much more
than your physical body.

Coming up,
a triangle UFO soars over

the busy streets of Brooklyn.

If you ever see a UFO,
chances are it'll be in

a place where sky pollution
is minimal and people are few

and far between.

The theory being that
in exploring remote parts

of the world,

extraterrestrials can observe
life on Earth

without being observed
by life on Earth.

Which is what makes
one man's recent UFO footage

particularly unsettling.

Because when he saw a giant,
unidentified craft soaring over him,

he wasn't in a vast desert
surrounded by darkness.

He was on the streets...

of New York City.

May 2021,
in Brooklyn, New York.

It's 11:00 p.m.,
and Tom Wardle

has just finished up
some late night shopping

when, in the distance,

he sees something that
forces him to put his bags down,

take out his phone,
and start recording.

Watch closely as
three glowing lights

drift through the sky
in perfect synchronicity.

And Tom is stunned.

I'm Tom Wardle,
and this is my video.

I look to my right,
which is down towards Manhattan,

and all of a sudden,
I notice these three lights

just rising above the horizon
in a triangular formation.

Has anyone else seen this?

I thought, "Well,
I need to record this, because this is unusual."

So I crossed over the road
to look back at it

to get another look,
and I caught the tail end of it.

And as I crossed over,
there was a guy on

the other side.

He was looking at it as well.
He said, "What the hell is that?"

I said, "I know, right?"
So, I'm not the only one seeing this.

And went down to
the end of the road to try and see it further...

So what exactly
did Tom just capture?

At first glance,
it might just appear to be sky lanterns

floating across the sky
from the Brooklyn side

toward Manhattan,
but they seem to be staying in

a very stable pattern,
a triangular formation.

I remember when this happened,
I remember people asking.

I think this was one craft
with lights on each corner.

I think the way
the lights are moving,

they always
stay equidistant.

They don't get closer
to each other.

They don't get further away
from each other.

They just seem to move through
the air with no noise.

As it came over,
you kind of felt the presence

that it was something large.

I'd say at least 100 meters
each side.

And perhaps
the fact that there was no official response

to an object this large
flying over the biggest city

in the United States
is because the powers that be

are already in contact
with it.

Whenever human beings in the military come up with

new technology that defies
what we know in science,

it's always because
I feel like there's some

sort of reverse engineering
of extraterrestrial technology

that we've come across
and dissected and pulled apart,

and then all of a sudden,
we know how to use it.

Could it have been,
I think they're called TR-3Bs,

which is, you know,
a secret military craft that's triangular in shape?

I'm certainly open
to it being that.

Whatever its origin, Tom believes it simply adds

to the overwhelming evidence
that we are not alone.

It only takes
one of these sightings to be,

let's say, extraterrestrial
for that to be proven real.

So I think the chances
are that...

Yeah, there's something
out there that's visiting Earth.

Coming up,
are these floating spiders...

...proof of alien life forms?

Of all the details that
emerge after a UFO sighting,

like how it looked,
how it moved,

if it made any noise,

the one thing that is
rarely discussed

is what it left behind.

And while some may believe
that alien technology

is so advanced that
these magnificent machines

leave virtually nothing
in their wake,

There are others who claim
a distinct, floating,

plasma-like residue
is sloughed off

every time they fly over.

And one need look
no further than

hundreds of spiders caught up
in some kind of

invisible substance

to see that there may be
something to that.

January
4th, 2019, in Espirito Santo do Dourado, Brazil.

A 13-year-old boy is
with his grandparents

at their home when,

outside in the yard,
he's suddenly surrounded by

something eerie in the sky.

Hundreds of spiders, seemingly suspended

several feet above the ground,
and thoroughly creeping out

the boy and his grandparents.

I'm not necessarily terrified of spiders.

I investigate
haunted locations.

So of course we encounter them
all the time,

but we don't see
tens of thousands of them coating the air.

I don't like it.
I'm not a fan of it.

No.

I can be
with ghosts.

I can be with ghouls, goblins,
but spiders in a collection

as if they're at a conference
and they're networking.

That is not what
I'm signing up for.

And according to
the witness's grandmother,

this isn't the first time
this creepy-crawly conference

has formed above them.

And while
the phenomenon is thought by some to be caused by

a mass of spiders forming
a giant web to catch prey

or to parachute together
across long distances,

other people have a much
more interesting theory.

Angel hair.

There's so much lore
revolving around

this idea of angel hair.

On one hand, there's people
that say that

it's the residue of
chemtrails,

or it's the result of
alien technology's electromagnetic fields

interacting with
our atmosphere.

Some UFO researchers believe
that the angel hair phenomenon

is tied to the effects of
UFO propulsion.

Whether it comes off of
the craft or something

to do with
the electromagnetic effects,

it creates sort of a plasma.

But in nearly every case,
it seems like when people try

to collect the evidence,
it quickly disappears.

And its paranormal potential

is not limited to
alien life forms.

It's not only UFO-ologists
who believe that

this angel hair substance
has something to do with

the supernatural.

Other people call it
Mary's yarn.

And it's often associated with
sightings of the Virgin Mary.

Mary's yarn,
in reference to the belief that

when Mary, the Virgin,
ascended into heaven,

her veil tore and pieces of it
fell to the earth.

And that's what
we're seeing.

But whether
angel hair, Mary's yarn,

or some as yet
undetermined substance,

the result is essentially
the same.

Not from this world.

This is a really great
example of what we mean

when we call something
supernatural.

If it was absolutely,
no doubt, guaranteed spider silk,

we would know that.

We would be able
to determine it.

We would have gathered some up
and tested it,

and it would have shown itself
to be exactly that.

Right now, the fact that
that's just a best guess

tells us that we actually
have no idea.

There's a clear religious
referential frame

to explain this phenomenon.

And yet we can also explain it
with contrails.

We could also explain it
with spiders.

We could also explain it
with aliens.

We have all of these
different potential frameworks

in which
to interpret this,

and what we don't have yet
is an obvious explanation

that makes it
seem natural.

We might
not have an obvious explanation for it,

but what we do know
is when you combine it with this many spiders,

It's as creepy as it gets.

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

Here are
