[narrator] Next on Paranormal Caught on Camera.
An investigator communicates with ghostly prisoners...
-[Clayton] I don't like that doll. -...using a doll.
-[Clayton] Do you see that? Is it just me? -[Heather] Yes.
[Aaron Sagers] 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.
[narrator] A man in Ireland comes face to face
with a mysterious creature.
[screams]
It was the most horrendous frightening experience of my life.
[narrator] A seance calls a spirit...
[Jaymes speaking]
-...who becomes violent. - [deep scream]
-[woman speaking] -[bleep]
[Jaymes] When the guy starts screaming, I'm like, "What is happening?"
And all the people on my side are saying, he just got dragged.
[narrator] And even more paranormal footage you have to see...
[Jake speaking]
-[bleep] -...to believe.
[theme music playing]
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...
[narrator] 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.
[David speaking]
[Aaron] 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.
[Mark Sceurman] 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.
[narrator] Maybe.
But another detail about the capture may indicate
something else entirely.
[David speaking]
[Susan Slaughter] 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?
[narrator] 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.
[narrator] But hold on a second.
What kind of Bigfoot
would be in Ireland?
[Ronny LeBlanc] 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.
[narrator] And given the mythical qualities of this area,
perhaps we shouldn't be so surprised.
[screaming]
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?
[narrator] Grim Reaper.
Bigfoot.
Puca.
Whatever David saw in the woods that day,
one thing's for certain.
It has changed him forever.
[David speaking]
[narrator] Coming up...
[Clayton] I don't like that doll.
[narrator] A doll is manipulated...
-[Clayton] It's like it's turning to look at us. -[Heather] What the hell?
-[Clayton] You see that? Is it just me? -[Heather] Yes.
[narrator] ...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.
-[Clayton] It's like it's turning to look at us. -[Heather] What the hell?
-[Clayton] Do you see that? Is it just me? -[Heather] Yes. No, no, no.
It's moving again.
[narrator] 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.
[Clayton] 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.
[Susan] 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.
[narrator] 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.
-[Clayton] I don't like that doll. -[Heather] 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.
[narrator] The rumors being that in the right conditions,
with the right questions, the doll moves.
[Clayton] We got the creepy doll set up. We got the REM pod.
We got the necrophonic.
-And what's your thing called? K2 meter? -[Heather] 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.
[narrator] And soon...
[Heather] Do you know who we are? Like, can you tell us our names?
[narrator] ...something does happen.
-[Clayton] Is that-- -[Heather] Whoa. Whoa,
-whoa, whoa. Look at the doll. -[Clayton] Yeah, I see it.
[Heather] 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.
[Clayton] 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.
[narrator] And if that's what they are there for...
[Clayton] Look, do you see that?
[Heather speaking]
[Clayton] It looked like the doll, like, moved a little bit.
[narrator] The doll, or whatever is manipulating it,
is happy to oblige.
[Heather] 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.
[narrator] And only minutes later, after they've reset the doll again,
the creepiness reaches a crescendo.
[Heather] Thank you for trying to talk with us.
[Clayton] The head's moving.
[Heather] I thought I saw that.
[Clayton] It's like it's turning, looking at us.
[Heather] What the hell?
[Clayton] Do you see that? Is it just me?
[Heather] Yes. No, no, no. It's moving again.
[Clayton] It's like the head turned to us.
[Aaron] 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.
[Heather] Oh, there goes the meter again. Oh, my God.
-Oh, my God! -[Clayton] Off the bed!
-Off the bed, off the bed. -[Heather] Oh, my God.
Are you serious right now?
Holy [bleep].
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.
[narrator] A conversation that wasn't necessarily with
a spirit haunting the doll, but perhaps just using it.
[Aaron] 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.
[narrator] 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.
[narrator] Coming up, a young man at a seance...
[Jaymes speaking]
...is manhandled by a ghost.
[woman speaking]
[narrator] 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. - [people applauding]
[screaming]
[narrator] 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...
[Jaymes speaking]
[narrator] That something may try to drag you...
-[all exclaiming] -[bleep]
...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.
[Jaymes speaking]
[narrator] 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...
[narrator] Thus far, the evening has been relatively uneventful.
[Jaymes speaking]
[narrator] But as the attendees hold hands in a circular formation,
and Jaymes, who is just off camera beneath the frame,
continues with the questions...
[Jaymes speaking]
...watch closely.
[Jaymes speaking]
-[all exclaiming] -[bleep]
[Jaymes speaking]
[narrator] Watch again.
As Jaymes attempts to get a response
from any spirit that might be present,
[Jaymes speaking]
...one of the participants...
-[all exclaiming] -[bleep]
...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.
-[all exclaiming] -[woman] Oh, my God.
[Jaymes] 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.
-[all exclaiming] -Oh, my God. [bleep]
[Steve] 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.
[Dalen Spratt] It seemed personal.
To be honest, it seemed like that man owed somebody
some money.
[man speaking]
[Jaymes speaking]
[man] Uh, I did not move it.
[narrator] While the young man emerges shaken
but physically unharmed,
-[Jaymes speaking] -[man speaking]
[narrator] ...Jaymes does the responsible thing
and quickly initiates the end of the ceremony
before things get any more out of hand.
[Jaymes] 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.
[narrator] 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.
[Lynne McNeill] 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.
[narrator] 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.
[Steve] You're opening the veil for things to come in
from the other side...
[screaming]
...to communicate with you, use your energy,
be present among you.
Sometimes something might come through
you don't want to mess with.
[narrator] 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.
-[all exclaiming] -[bleep]
[narrator] Coming up...
Do these two glowing blue eyes
[Jake speaking]
-[bleep] -[narrator] ...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...
[snarls]
...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.
[Jake speaking]
[narrator] 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...
[Jake speaking]
[narrator] Watch closely as two bright blue eyes peer out
from the darkness and then...
[Jake] Blinking.
...begin to blink.
[Jake] 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.
[narrator] And as stunning as this capture is,
it gets even more so just minutes later.
[Jake] Blinking the left eye.
[bleep]
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.
[bleep]
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.
[Moran] 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.
[Jake] Blinking the right eye now.
[Ronny] 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.
[narrator] For his part, Jake has already spent a good deal
of his time diving through it.
[narrator] 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."
[Steve] 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.
[Jake speaking]
[narrator] Stories made even more terrifying by
how Jake believes these cryptids travel
undetected from one place to the next.
[Jake] 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.
[Jake speaking]
[narrator] 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.
[narrator] 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...
[narrator] So what exactly did Tom just capture?
[Moran] 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.
[narrator] 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.
[Susan] 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.
[narrator] Whatever its origin, Tom believes it simply adds
to the overwhelming evidence that we are not alone.
[Tom] 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.
[narrator] Coming up, are these floating spiders...
[boy in other language]
...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.
[man in other language]
[narrator in English] 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.
[boy in other language]
[narrator in English] Hundreds of spiders, seemingly suspended
several feet above the ground, and thoroughly creeping out
the boy and his grandparents.
[boy in other language]
[Steve in English] 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.
[Dalen] 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.
[narrator] 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.
[Aaron] 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.
[boy in other language]
[narrator in English] 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.
[Lynne] 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.
[narrator] 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.
[narrator] 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.
[boy in other language]
[narrator in English] What should you do in the event you witness something paranormal?
[Jake speaking]
[narrator] Here are some tips to get it all on camera.
[boy in other language]
[narrator in English] Don't hesitate to use any and all trigger objects.
[Clayton] It's like it's turning to look at us.
-[Clayton] Do you see that? Is it just me? -[Heather] Yes.
[narrator] Trust that what you're seeing really is
something paranormal.
If you open a door to the other side...
[Jaymes] Is it a male?
...be ready for whatever comes through it.
-[all exclaiming] -[bleep]
