Next on Paranormal Caught on Camera...

An investigation in Kansas...

It looked just like that,

but let's say it was--

...goes off the rails.

Katie, where are you?

That is your cue

to go ahead and exit the investigation,

'cause that was pretty intense.

A woman in Ohio

has multiple encounters

with Bigfoot.

Dogs, let's go! Now!

I'm just like, I cannot believe

I'm seeing what I'm seeing right now.

A ghostly hand is captured...

in a 19th century farmhouse

in England.

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

Double dog dare the devil

to mess with the word of God! I'm about to squeeze...

...to believe.

The Garnett House in Kansas

has quite a history.

Built in 1858,

a famous abolitionist named John Brown

is said to have harbored escaped slaves in the attic.

In the 1870s,

it went on to become a hotel,

where legendary figures such as Wild Bill Hickok,

Wyatt Earp,

and Belle Starr

once stayed.

In the years since,

the building has served as a jail,

a schoolhouse,

a photography studio,

and a doctor's office.

The current owner

purchased the house to both preserve its history...

and invite paranormal enthusiasts

to experience the odd activity

that's been reported through the years.

Recently,

two women came to the house to see for themselves.

And got a lot more

than they bargained for.

It looked just like that,

but let's say it was--

What the!

- You okay? - Oh, my God.

March 24th, 2024.

Garnett, Kansas.

This house was the house

that made me truly believe in the paranormal.

Paranormal investigator Jade Capasso

is making her second visit

to the Garnett House.

This time

with a psychic medium

named Mandy.

They are joined by the homeowner

and his son.

And almost immediately...

the four of them head to the second floor

and place a device on the stairs

called a Dead Bell.

Well, we got the Dead Bell on the stairs.

If anybody is downstairs, feel free to come on up.

We will be here all night.

A Dead Bell is something spirits can ring

to let investigators know they are present.

And just as the four head to the attic...

You just said...

!

Hello?

Can you do it one more time please?

Are you on the stairs?

My name is Jade, and this is my video.

It's only really supposed to ding, like,

once or twice

for an actual response.

But this thing was just going off,

like, crazy.

Keep in mind, like,

they do this almost every time

we're trying to go into the attic.

They, like, try to stop it.

Boom, right there.

They do not like it.

I happen to really love the Dead Bell.

It marries both the old school

and the new school.

It is this

simple hotel bell

that can be physically manipulated,

and yet it is mounted

on an EM gadget

that allows for potential

spirit interaction.

I'm going in there. We're all gonna go in there.

But before they are able to get any closer to the attic,

one of the many dolls

that the owner

has placed around the house as trigger objects...

appears to make a statement.

Oh, my God!

My camera didn't...

I don't think it... Oh, my God!

No, it did not, dude. No, it did not.

In the corner, there is a doll standing up

on a rocking chair.

And just out of nowhere,

she just flips forward...

...lands on the ground.

And nobody was in that room.

It's kind of unclear

whether the force of the chair rocking

threw the doll, or perhaps

the doll moved

and that caused the chair to rock.

Either way...

...between the bell and the doll,

something is clearly

trying to get a message across.

It looked just like that,

but let's say it was--

! Sorry.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Okay. No. What the!

This was a really tense moment,

because this is not a house settling noise.

This is not a...

Oh, the wind, you know,

knocked something over on the counter.

This is a crash.

But let's say it was--

! Sorry.

I mean, this is a house with

real activity

taking place in it.

I knew something was coming... - It was this.

I'm like, where is this thing coming from?

Although freaked out,

the four of them continue toward the attic...

All right, you guys ready? - Yeah.

- Yeah. - Let's do it.

...even though it seems

they're being warned against it.

You're not gonna stop us

from going in the attic.

It's happening whether you like it or not.

Whoa.

You have to remember that the attic is,

according to legend, the place where

escaping slaves were hidden

during the days of the Underground Railroad.

So perhaps it's their unquieted spirits

that are really setting off

this REM pod device.

Whoa.

And the longer they stay near the attic,

the more clear it becomes

that the unquieted spirits

would like them to leave.

- Oh... - Get out.

- That's insane. - Get out.

What the!

Another loud noise.

And a doll...

is thrown from the attic.

I think at this certain point

where things start to escalate,

you have to be, I think,

aware when it's time

to close up shop.

And that seemed to be that point in time

where it was time to go.

I'm not kidding.

This place is no joke.

After being there for eight hours,

they wisely

decide to call it a night.

And Jade has a piece of advice

for anyone who might be considering

braving the Garnett House

in the future.

I just think that this house

hasn't really been put on the map yet.

But once it does,

everybody's gonna be wanting to go there.

And if you do investigate this house,

please, please

proceed with caution.

Oh, my God!

My camera didn't...

I don't think it... Oh, my God!

Coming up...

A woman in Ohio captures proof

of Bigfoot.

Dogs, let's go! Now!

If you've never encountered a Bigfoot in real life...

you're not alone.

These notoriously shy cryptids

are incredibly hard to spot.

Not only because they blend into their surroundings so well,

but there are also some

who believe Bigfoot possesses the ability

to teleport into another dimension.

So odds are

most will never actually encounter one

in the wild.

Unless they get very,

very lucky.

Or in the case of one woman in Ohio,

very, very lucky...

on multiple occasions.

Dogs, let's go! Now!

Clermont County, Ohio.

Come here. Nope. Come on.

Danielle Amburgey

had her first encounter with what she believes to be a Bigfoot

in 2022.

Since then, she's gone in search of them

five days a week

in nearby state parks.

And documents each excursion

with her camera.

Now, I don't like usually bringing

these guys with me.

They gotta get out.

More often than not,

Danielle sees nothing.

Girls, stay close.

But on this day, in January, 2023,

while walking her dogs in Stonelick State Park...

she gets lucky.

There's something...

No way, dude!

There. Through the fog,

some kind of movement by a tree

that eventually

takes the shape...

of a large bipedal figure.

And Danielle is convinced...

What the! No!

Dogs, let's go! Now!

...it's Bigfoot!

We're leaving!

Dude!

Oh, my God!

My name is Danielle, and these are my videos.

There's something...

No way, dude.

At first, I'm just like, I cannot believe

I'm seeing what I'm seeing right now.

I didn't know what was gonna happen.

I was terrified for my dogs.

I've heard so many stories

of them and dogs not getting along.

So that was where I got scared.

What the! No!

Dogs, let's go! Now!

We're leaving!

Even though it heard me and saw me,

it didn't seem like it,

um, cared.

We can see a figure that looks very much like

the Bigfoot or Sasquatch

that so many people have witnessed.

It's a large,

heavy form.

We see the head,

the broad shoulders,

and it appears to be quite weighty.

There's something...

No way, dude.

You know, there's a lot of legends that

when the fog comes out,

there'll be Bigfoot sightings,

because they're using that fog as cover.

And you see this enormous...

being next to the tree

that clearly has the outline and shape of a Sasquatch.

14 months later,

Danielle is in East Fork State Park

in Lore City, Ohio,

this time at night,

when she seems to get lucky again.

First, she hears what sounds like

trees breaking.

I had just been walking through,

and I heard a lot of movement.

But when I started walking back,

that's when I could see

these logs, moving.

That tree branch was not there like that.

These logs are huge,

and they're crisscrossing them,

blocking the path.

It made me nervous, because these were big trees,

and this was a big thing sitting there staring at me.

And I didn't really get a good look at him until I edited.

And what she gets a good look at while editing...

is this.

Just to the right of the tree,

part of a figure,

dark,

and perfectly still.

It does look like there is

some black figure amongst the trees.

Like, it doesn't really want to be seen.

But it looks like it's still kind of

peeking to see what's going on.

That characteristic could speak to a lot of cryptids.

When you hear these trees actually being ripped

or broken apart...

...they are trying to get your attention to leave.

Which is exactly what Danielle does.

Okay. I'm leaving.

But how has she managed to see

this famously elusive creature

multiple times

without even leaving her home state?

Though Bigfoot is often thought to inhabit

the Pacific Northwest,

um, sightings in

this particular area of Ohio

are actually quite common.

This is an area that's been called

one of the nation's top squatchiest places

according to USA Today.

And indeed, it is the home of the Ohio Grassman.

It's the Ohio Grassman.

And now that Danielle

has caught sight of these creatures multiple times,

she's hooked.

Ever since I ran into that one,

it's been three years, ever since then,

I've been researching hardcore.

They don't really want anything to do with me.

And they're not leaving.

So they're just gonna mess with me to try to get me to go.

You can't keep me out of there. I mean, it's gonna...

I shouldn't say that, because they're probably gonna try.

Someday they're gonna be like, "That's enough."

What the! No!

Dogs, let's go! Now!

We're leaving.

Coming up...

What is haunting...

this 19th century farmhouse...

in England?

While there are many theories as to what causes a haunting...

there are just as many

as to what may cause that haunting...

to physically manifest.

Like static electricity.

Barometric pressure.

Or even...

phases of the moon.

But sometimes,

it's simply the fact

of a structure being in the right place

at the right time

for whatever spirits...

may need it.

Just ask a woman who bought an 1830s farmhouse

on the English seaside

near the confluence of two rivers,

and discovered through her home security cameras...

that she may be living

in a lighthouse

for the dead.

2024,

in Lincolnshire, England.

Paranormal investigator Deborah Hatswell

is contacted by the owner of an 1830s farmhouse

who has been experiencing supernatural activity

since moving in.

She compiles footage from her security camera

that points toward a particular hallway

where most of the activity seems to happen.

And sends it to Deborah for analysis.

Keep your eyes on the doorframe

as a small orb

slowly transforms

into what looks like

small fingers

grasping it.

My name is Deborah Hatswell,

and these are my client's videos.

I've worked in the paranormal realm

since 1982,

and I've never seen anything as clear as that.

I pulled it out and I made it as big as I could, and I thought,

"That's a hand."

Now that is something I've never seen before.

Like, that genuinely looked like a little hand

grabbing the wall.

And it's almost like it knew where the camera was

so that it would not be seen in full.

To me it looked like some kind of

monster or alien or something.

It almost looked like a skeleton.

It certainly didn't look like what I think a ghost would look like.

When you see something like this,

when a spirit can gather up enough energy

to literally

take the shape of something familiar,

that's got to be something.

And in this case,

according to the homeowner,

that something

is just the tip of the iceberg.

And she said, "Straight away."

They'd be banging on the doors,

um, screws would be unturned,

door knobs would be taken off.

She's seen dark presences.

Dark presences

like this shadow...

that streaks across the screen.

The black shadow.

That was weird.

It sort of swooped through the air,

but it wasn't an orb.

It wasn't like a dust particle.

It looked like a presence,

sort of almost like a black or dark smoke,

moving through that space.

And I found that genuinely scary.

I didn't like them.

And they're actually...

Some of them are moving intelligently.

Watch closely,

as first,

a few smaller orbs fly by.

Followed by...

a much bigger one.

Now it's a family home.

It's on the coast,

so we're gonna see dust,

and we're gonna see moss,

and, you know, and all manner of strange things.

So I think the room where we see the little hand

and the dark shapes

is the original farmhouse.

And I think that is just a corridor...

And in effort to make further sense

of these unexplained occurrences,

Deborah digs deeply

into the backstory of the property.

The same year that the house was built in 1830,

there was actually a shipwreck

out in the bay.

But unfortunately, there was only one survivor.

Three children died on the boat.

And the bodies were brought up onto the land

where the house is situated.

In the field we have

what is called lighthouses.

And essentially,

those can be people or locations.

And they act like a lighthouse

in a very dark ocean.

So we think that these energies or spirits

are attracted to people or places like this,

because in the case of a location,

it seems like

they kind of become these almost

safe houses in a way

of these energies being able to exist

and interact with whoever happens to be there.

And Deborah's findings

bring a much needed sense of comfort

to the homeowner.

And hopefully,

peace to the spirits...

that are passing through.

Now she knows

the connection to the land and the family.

She's more comfortable with it.

She knows it's not

something that's out there to harm her.

Coming up...

A security guard in Florida

captures a shadow figure...

on his late night shift.

Ask any paranormal investigator

and they will tell you,

capturing a ghost on camera

is no easy task.

Not only do you have to record

for hours on end,

you also have to then review that footage,

sometimes frame by frame

to see what

or who

might have slipped by your senses.

And even then...

spotting that small bit of evidence,

if you even manage to catch it...

takes a good amount of luck.

Which is what one security guard in Florida

seemed to be in great supply of

when he pulled up one of his old cell phone videos

and saw this shadow figure...

crossing his path.

June, 2020.

Daytona Beach, Florida.

Security guard Nick Ingianni

is working the graveyard shift at a shopping plaza,

that, due to occasional disembodied voices

echoing in the corridors...

...is believed by some amongst the staff

and Nick himself

to be haunted.

So when he hears what sounds like

someone walking in the building...

...while he's supposed to be the only one there...

he picks up his phone

and starts to record.

I'm trying to set up my phone so I can...

After Nick secures his phone to his vest,

he grabs his Taser,

and walks down the dark hallway

remaining as focused as possible.

Just in case.

But he finds nothing.

So he goes on with his night,

and doesn't think too much more about it,

until a year later,

when he's looking through his phone

and stumbles upon the patrol video again.

And while watching it...

sees something mind blowing.

Watch very closely.

Did you see it?

Watch again, in slow motion,

as a dark figure

emerges down the hallway.

And then

disappears.

My name is Nick, and this is my video.

It definitely sent chills up my spine

because I knew that I was alone,

and I didn't see it while I was

making my way down this hallway.

All I heard was just

the sounds of what sounded like

somebody was shuffling their feet and walking around.

While I'm watching it, I felt like,

you know, what was this thing?

And, uh,

was I in any kind of danger?

We see just for a split second

what appears to be a large dark figure

that seems to be human-like,

but featureless.

Just black as ink.

It's certainly doing

exactly what shadow figures are known to do.

As soon as they're noticed by the living,

they sort of duck around something,

whether it's around a corner

or through a doorway and out of sight.

What's interesting is

when the shadow person walks from right to left.

When you see the security officer pass that area,

you could see that

where the shadow figure had walked,

he would have walked directly into a wall.

And there's no way

that he would have been able to...

like, escape the security officer.

Good point.

And if it is in fact a shadow figure,

as it seems to be,

Nick is fairly certain

it's not the first time

he's encountered it.

Periodically I would hear what sounds like voices

or of, like, whispering of...

You know, it sounded like somebody was in the building,

near me where I was patrolling at night,

which I would initially think that there was an,

you know, an intruder,

or somebody trying to break in.

And then when I'd go and investigate,

I'd realize that nobody's there.

I just chalked it up to be

this spirit.

And I just started making conversation,

and being like, you know, "Yeah, come on,

you know, let's go take a walk together,"

just so I wouldn't be, you know,

as spooked as I was.

This is something that people forget to do a lot.

If there is in fact

some sort of spirit, presence,

or entity in a building with you, then

putting on a good face,

greeting them, welcoming them,

letting them know that

you're okay with their presence there,

that's awesome.

More people should be doing this.

Nick has since moved on to another job.

But before leaving,

made sure that whatever is haunting the halls of the mall

knew

they were appreciated.

During my last patrol, I went up to

where I caught that figure.

I just said, "Hey.

I'm not gonna be working here no more.

I hope you find peace. I hope you,

you know, find whatever it is you're looking for,

and it was great to, you know, chat with you

during my time here."

There's definitely times where I wish I could just go back

just for one night and just,

you know, talk and kind of explore

and just see what's there,

and if it wants to chat.

Coming up...

Is this pastor's cross

being manipulated...

by the devil?

When it comes to the supernatural...

there are a few tools used...

to combat malevolent forces

that may break through the veil.

Such as sage.

Crystals.

And religious symbols.

The latter of which, to believers,

carries the strongest protection against evil.

Which makes it all the more disconcerting

when whatever entity you're dealing with

appears willing and able

to simply sweep these holy items

aside.

Such was the case in both England

and Indiana,

when multiple people bore witness

to what they believe

is the essence

of absolute evil.

June 27th, 2023.

Stoke-on-Trent, England.

Ghost hunters JP Kenny and Kymmi Jeffrey

are investigating the haunted museum

and spirit shop,

looking around a room

that appears focused

on demonic possessions.

When out of nowhere...

Oh!

Oh, my goodness! Oh, my goodness! -

Watch again...

as a metal cross

encased in an exorcism box...

Oh!

...appears to get snapped in half.

Oh, my God!

This crucifix

is definitely made out of some type of metal.

So for it to be able to snap and break

the way that it does,

that's something that's gonna be extremely strong.

Extremely powerful.

This is not going to just be a human spirit.

Knowing that this particular cross

was part

of an exorcism kit

that was used

to dispel an evil presence,

that makes this cross

not just

the normal representation of religious good,

but actually

a successful tool against evil.

The purpose of an exorcism

is to remove

demonic spirit from the possessed person.

But where does that spirit go?

Perhaps in this instance,

it ended up attaching itself

to the exorcism box itself.

Oh!

And if so,

can a demonic spirit

attach itself to any one of these symbols,

anywhere,

at any time?

One holy man in West Lafayette, Indiana,

certainly believes so.

January 29th, 2012.

Folks, this is the word of God.

Pastor Paul Begley

is doing a video sermon for his live streaming channel.

Where's my squeeze ball right now?

Something he does many times a week.

Double dog dare the devil

to mess with the word of God!

I'm about to squeeze... You can't do that.

That's a little teaching tool we use to teach our children

that you have authority over the devil.

Though today, that authority

is about to be tested.

My name is Pastor Paul Begley.

And this is my video.

I rebuke the devil.

You have authority over the devil.

This four and a half pound crucifix

that's a family heirloom

leaning against the wall

at a 45 degree angle

with a nail

tacked at the bottom so it wouldn't slide,

this thing just comes off the wall.

How in the world? It's impossible.

I was absolutely stunned.

Speechless.

A little bit frightened.

There's a certain connotation

that comes along with religious artifacts

being affected in this way.

Very much in the same way

that three scratches on someone

is an aberration of the Holy Trinity.

The number 666.

All the things that we attribute

to the devil and his minions

put us directly in the line of fire

with a war that has been raging

since the beginning of time.

In the battle of good and evil,

I think you have to score one for the devil here,

because given a little more force,

that cross

could have easily

struck the pastor right in the back of the head.

I double dog dare the devil

to mess with the word of God!

I felt that

I spoke directly to the devil,

and I think he spoke directly back at me.

And to strike fear.

You know, that's his deal. He likes to strike fear.

But putting his fear aside,

the pastor blesses his apartment

after the incident.

Which seems to squash any lingering presence.

However,

he is also very aware

that though it may have brought this battle to an end,

the war with evil incarnate

is unfortunately

ongoing.

I've learned now,

don't be challenging the devil. Okay?

Oh!

Oh, my goodness!

Don't be messing with the devil.

He does have power.

Coming up...

A South African man

who's had nearly 100

UFO sightings.

It's widely believed among paranormal enthusiasts

that certain individuals

have an innate ability to perceive phenomena.

A level of awareness

that no matter how hard one may try

is unachievable for most.

But perhaps that's because those that have not had

an experience with something from another realm...

are simply not tuned in.

Just ask a man from South Africa

who's been witnessing unexplained phenomena

for five years.

January 16, 2022.

In Cape Town, South Africa.

Dirk van Tonder

is in the garden outside his home

when something bright in the sky

catches his eye.

So he quickly grabs his camera and starts recording.

It's an amorphous shimmering object

that appears to expand

and contract.

And Dirk

is blown away.

My name is Dirk van Tonder,

and these are my videos.

You know, it's very noticeable.

It's very easy to see

because it gives off a very powerful light.

It's almost like a big bunch of glitter

in the sky.

I think it's generating its own light.

I don't think it's, like, sunlight reflecting off it.

Dirk is filming

at over 200 times zoom,

and estimates the object

to be roughly between two to five miles away.

This object looks metallic

and lacks a definitive shape.

And initially,

I wondered if it might be a mylar balloon.

And yet, based on what he's saying,

this is more than a mile up

in the sky,

which would make this

far too large

for a balloon.

Instead,

that would make this about the size

of a school bus.

Dirk tracks the object for a couple of minutes

before it disappears out of view.

But that isn't the end of it.

Two weeks later,

Dirk is outside grilling with a friend

when he spots a similar object

floating high above them.

Once again, he grabs his camera

and starts filming.

This time, the craft remains in sight

for more than ten minutes.

The other one was just gold in color

with not much variation.

At some points, it looked a bit green,

a bit green and gold.

It looks in some ways

like the air sacs in lungs,

that sort of organic,

tree-like branching structure

that we see

inside living creatures.

Only now it's in the sky and vaguely metallic looking.

We can hear the wind

in the microphone of the camera.

We can see the palm fronds

moving rapidly back and forth.

Yet, whatever this is in the sky is

completely stationary

for over eleven minutes.

There's something not right about that.

Both objects are indeed baffling.

But to Dirk,

they're just more incredible captures

to add to his collection.

In fact,

Dirk estimates

that he's seen upwards

of a hundred.

I keep my camera on the tripod,

ready to go at all times.

This happens all the time.

I don't sit around waiting for them

or looking out for them.

It's when I walk outside,

I'm watering my garden or something,

and then I look up,

and where I look

is where it just suddenly appears.

As if it knows where you're looking.

And maybe

it does.

But whatever the reason,

Dirk believes that the ability to see them

is within us all.

I think once you

make an effort to connect with them,

some kind of a weird relationship develops

and they seem to

come frequently.

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

But let's say it was--

!

Here are some tips to get it all on camera.

Check your footage

for anything unusual.

Trust that what you're seeing

really is otherworldly.

Don't stop recording

even if you're scared.

Dogs, let's go! Now!

And if you do catch something,

email us at submitparnormal@gmail.com.

Your footage could be seen right here

on Paranormal Caught on Camera.
