[Tony] Native to Australia, this canine-like marsupial 203 00:08:44,065 --> 00:08:46,895 resembled a small wild dog with a large jaw, 204 00:08:47,027 --> 00:08:48,527 stripes like a tiger on its back, 205 00:08:48,611 --> 00:08:50,491 and a marsupial pouch. 206 00:08:50,572 --> 00:08:53,702 The thylacine was able to open his jaw very wide, 207 00:08:53,783 --> 00:08:55,453 up to 80 degrees. 208 00:08:55,577 --> 00:08:57,577 When threatened, it pretended to yawn 209 00:08:57,662 --> 00:08:58,792 to show off its many teeth. 210 00:08:58,913 --> 00:09:01,623 - The video isn’t of great quality, it’s pretty grainy, 211 00:09:01,750 --> 00:09:04,750 but as the figure goes over this rocky area here, 212 00:09:04,836 --> 00:09:06,956 we can see that it’s actually a lighter color, 213 00:09:07,088 --> 00:09:10,298 and maybe even has some stripes on the back. 214 00:09:12,218 --> 00:09:14,928 - [Tony] Barackman says this apex predator first disappeared 215 00:09:15,013 --> 00:09:16,813 from Australia’s mainland, 216 00:09:16,931 --> 00:09:19,981 and was then only found in the island state of Tasmania. 217 00:09:20,101 --> 00:09:22,311 - They are known for eating other small mammals, 218 00:09:22,437 --> 00:09:24,267 which actually led to their extinction. 219 00:09:24,355 --> 00:09:27,105 The local farmers and ranchers didn’t like thylacines 220 00:09:27,233 --> 00:09:30,533 killing their sheep, so they started hunting the thylacines. 221 00:09:31,446 --> 00:09:33,486 - [Tony] Australia passed legislation to try to protect 222 00:09:33,615 --> 00:09:36,835 the species in 1936, but by then it was too late. 223 00:09:36,951 --> 00:09:39,121 The last known thylacine, Benjamin, 224 00:09:39,204 --> 00:09:41,124 died at the Hobart Zoo, 225 00:09:41,206 --> 00:09:43,496 but the reported sightings of wild thylacines 226 00:09:43,625 --> 00:09:45,005 have become the stuff of legend. 227 00:09:45,126 --> 00:09:49,296 - In the period of time between 1910 and 2019, 228 00:09:49,422 --> 00:09:54,472 over 1,200 reported sightings have been documented. 229 00:09:54,594 --> 00:09:57,644 There might still be living specimens in the wild, 230 00:09:57,722 --> 00:10:00,022 and if there are, this would be another example 231 00:10:00,141 --> 00:10:03,771 of what is known as a Lazarus species. 232 00:10:03,853 --> 00:10:05,613 - [Tony] A Lazarus species is an animal 233 00:10:05,688 --> 00:10:06,938 that’s believed to be extinct, 234 00:10:07,023 --> 00:10:08,483 which then rises from the dead, 235 00:10:08,608 --> 00:10:11,188 like Lazarus of Bethany from the Bible. 236 00:10:11,319 --> 00:10:13,239 One such species is the goblin shark, 237 00:10:13,321 --> 00:10:16,161 a so-called living fossil, that was once thought long gone, 238 00:10:16,241 --> 00:10:18,201 but that has been spotted in the last 20 years 239 00:10:18,326 --> 00:10:20,486 in Mexico and possibly Japan. 240 00:10:23,164 --> 00:10:26,674 In 1983, media mogul Ted Turner offered a reward 241 00:10:26,751 --> 00:10:30,341 for evidence of the thylacine’s continued existence. 242 00:10:30,463 --> 00:10:31,883 It’s never been collected. 243 00:10:32,006 --> 00:10:34,376 Yet as recently as February 2018, 244 00:10:34,509 --> 00:10:36,389 three people cycling through Tasmania’s 245 00:10:36,511 --> 00:10:39,181 Central Highlands reported seeing one, 246 00:10:39,305 --> 00:10:43,225 noting in particular its stripes as it ran out in front of them. 247 00:10:43,351 --> 00:10:45,351 Could this video prove the thylacine 248 00:10:45,436 --> 00:10:47,766 has actually risen from the dead? 249 00:10:47,856 --> 00:10:50,146 (tense music) 250 00:10:51,818 --> 00:10:53,988 First, are you thinking what I’m thinking, 251 00:10:54,070 --> 00:10:56,780 that maybe this is simply some type of wild dog? 252 00:10:56,865 --> 00:10:58,875 We asked biologist Floyd Hayes. 253 00:10:58,992 --> 00:11:02,582 - The dingo and the red fox are dogs that live in Australia. 254 00:11:02,704 --> 00:11:06,004 They normally have a a bushier tail than the thylacine. 255 00:11:06,082 --> 00:11:09,462 However, when an animal has mange and loses its hair, 256 00:11:09,544 --> 00:11:11,094 they could have a very long thin tail 257 00:11:11,212 --> 00:11:13,552 that resembles that of the thylacine. 258 00:11:13,631 --> 00:11:16,551 But one distinct difference is the ankle is higher up 259 00:11:16,634 --> 00:11:19,184 on the limbs of the dogs. 260 00:11:20,138 --> 00:11:21,428 - [Tony] Anatomist Jeff Meldrum agrees 261 00:11:21,556 --> 00:11:24,426 this creature appears to have more of a marsupial build 262 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:25,689 than a canine one. 263 00:11:25,768 --> 00:11:28,308 - The buttock muscles of the dog 264 00:11:28,396 --> 00:11:32,396 produce a very distinctive, rounded contour 265 00:11:32,483 --> 00:11:35,613 up to the base of the tail, whereas the thylacine 266 00:11:35,737 --> 00:11:39,317 has this very distinctive taper towards the tail, 267 00:11:39,407 --> 00:11:42,577 some distance posterior behind the hips. 268 00:11:42,702 --> 00:11:45,202 I think there’s a very good chance that this video 269 00:11:45,288 --> 00:11:48,078 does depict an extant thylacine. 270 00:11:48,208 --> 00:11:50,498 - [Tony] Up next, Dr. Hayes examines if this animal 271 00:11:50,585 --> 00:11:53,465 could be the wallaby-like Tasmanian pademelon. 272 00:11:53,588 --> 00:11:55,758 - The pademelon is a small marsupial 273 00:11:55,882 --> 00:11:57,802 that resembles a kangaroo. 274 00:11:57,926 --> 00:12:00,846 It is sometimes mistaken for a thylacine, 275 00:12:00,929 --> 00:12:02,599 but it doesn’t really walk on all fours. 276 00:12:02,680 --> 00:12:04,930 It basically hops bipedally. 277 00:12:05,058 --> 00:12:06,728 - [Tony] So since this animal appears to be 278 00:12:06,809 --> 00:12:09,559 walking on four legs, Hayes doubts that’s what we’re seeing. 279 00:12:09,646 --> 00:12:11,436 And Dr. Meldrum tends to agree. 280 00:12:11,522 --> 00:12:14,782 - The pademelon have this more upright posture 281 00:12:14,901 --> 00:12:15,941 to their torso. 282 00:12:16,069 --> 00:12:18,609 They have short limbs that they don’t use 283 00:12:18,696 --> 00:12:21,866 to support their weight, except on very rare occasions, 284 00:12:21,950 --> 00:12:24,660 and they have these elongated hind feet. 285 00:12:24,786 --> 00:12:27,326 All of those features seem to be absent 286 00:12:27,455 --> 00:12:29,285 from what we see on this video. 287 00:12:29,415 --> 00:12:31,495 - [Tony] So Meldrum considers whether this could be 288 00:12:31,626 --> 00:12:34,496 another small marsupial that’s native to Australia, 289 00:12:34,629 --> 00:12:36,129 the spotted quoll. 290 00:12:36,256 --> 00:12:38,836 - [Jeff] The quoll is the more feline-like adaptation, 291 00:12:38,967 --> 00:12:42,677 and the figure you see, it comes across very canid-like 292 00:12:42,804 --> 00:12:45,474 in its movements and its proportions. 293 00:12:45,556 --> 00:12:47,976 I’m quite confident this is not a spotted quoll 294 00:12:48,059 --> 00:12:52,019 because of the distinctions in both size and shape 295 00:12:52,146 --> 00:12:55,016 of the body and in the markings. 296 00:12:55,149 --> 00:12:57,489 - [Tony] The evidence feels like it’s pointing thylacine. 297 00:12:57,568 --> 00:12:59,608 But Dr. Hayes is not completely convinced. 298 00:12:59,696 --> 00:13:02,236 - Because the thylacine has not been properly documented 299 00:13:02,323 --> 00:13:05,913 since the 1930s, we need to have really good quality videos 300 00:13:05,994 --> 00:13:08,754 in order to be absolutely certain that the thylacine 301 00:13:08,830 --> 00:13:10,500 is still living today. 302 00:13:10,581 --> 00:13:12,711 (tense music) 303 00:13:14,877 --> 00:13:18,457 -

Typically, when evidence is manipulated intentionally, 638 00:28:26,288 --> 00:28:28,868 there are other indicators that we would detect 639 00:28:28,957 --> 00:28:30,327 through software tools, 640 00:28:30,417 --> 00:28:33,167 because the average consumer doesn’t know 641 00:28:33,253 --> 00:28:35,173 how to conceal that information. 642 00:28:35,255 --> 00:28:38,545 No evidence of additional tools were detected, 643 00:28:38,634 --> 00:28:41,014 or changes to the evidence drastic enough 644 00:28:41,094 --> 00:28:43,224 to warrant intent to deceive. 645 00:28:44,181 --> 00:28:45,431 - [Tony] Physicist Dr. Matthew Szydagis 646 00:28:45,557 --> 00:28:48,347 examines the possibility that the image is a product 647 00:28:48,435 --> 00:28:50,515 of something called video ghosting. 648 00:28:50,604 --> 00:28:54,114 - Because this was on an analog tape, 649 00:28:54,191 --> 00:28:56,361 this is not the best image quality. 650 00:28:56,443 --> 00:28:59,243 What if something had been previously recorded, 651 00:28:59,321 --> 00:29:02,821 video of a child running around, that then got superimposed 652 00:29:02,950 --> 00:29:04,740 on the later video of the cemetery? 653 00:29:04,826 --> 00:29:07,326 That might explain the strange coloration 654 00:29:07,454 --> 00:29:11,044 of the child-like figure as simply some sort of echo 655 00:29:11,124 --> 00:29:13,214 or memory, not in the ghostly sense, 656 00:29:13,293 --> 00:29:16,843 but in the sense of a previous video on the same tape. 657 00:29:16,964 --> 00:29:19,054 - [Tony] Szydagis also points out there are many other 658 00:29:19,132 --> 00:29:20,882 natural occurrences caught on camera 659 00:29:20,968 --> 00:29:22,718 that are often mistaken for ghosts. 660 00:29:22,803 --> 00:29:25,223 - Many things have been confused for ghosts in the past, 661 00:29:25,305 --> 00:29:27,715 things like lens flares or a speck of dust. 662 00:29:27,808 --> 00:29:30,728 Now in this case, we have a very human shaped figure, 663 00:29:30,811 --> 00:29:34,191 and that’s why I don’t think that lens flare 664 00:29:34,314 --> 00:29:36,864 or just a dusty atmosphere 665 00:29:36,984 --> 00:29:40,114 are the correct explanations this time. 666 00:29:40,195 --> 00:29:41,565 - [Tony] So then could this actually be 667 00:29:41,655 --> 00:29:43,625 the figure of a ghost caught on tape? 668 00:29:43,699 --> 00:29:46,949 - I do not see any evidence here 669 00:29:47,035 --> 00:29:49,695 that this child is anything paranormal 670 00:29:49,830 --> 00:29:50,960 or out of the ordinary. 671 00:29:51,039 --> 00:29:55,289 I don’t see any reactions from any of the bystanders 672 00:29:55,377 --> 00:29:57,417 as if something strange is happening. 673 00:29:57,504 --> 00:29:59,964 I think what we’re seeing here is an ordinary, 674 00:30:00,048 --> 00:30:05,348 non-dead, human child that’s playing in a cemetery. 675 00:30:06,513 --> 00:30:10,103 - Okay, we agree with Szydagis that at first glance, 676 00:30:10,183 --> 00:30:13,233 this looks like it could be just an ordinary child 677 00:30:13,353 --> 00:30:15,443 dressed in light colored clothing. 678 00:30:15,522 --> 00:30:19,572 It’s this moment right here that makes us have our doubts. 679 00:30:19,693 --> 00:30:22,073 Watch as the figure seems to shape shift, 680 00:30:22,195 --> 00:30:26,445 then leaps into a nearby tree, and then falls to the ground, 681 00:30:26,533 --> 00:30:28,413 and no one seems to notice. 682 00:30:28,535 --> 00:30:29,615 Very strange. 683 00:30:30,871 --> 00:30:32,501 - We cannot confirm the authenticity 684 00:30:32,581 --> 00:30:34,621 of what that camera saw on that day. 685 00:30:34,708 --> 00:30:37,458 So the verdict for this case is inconclusive, 686 00:30:37,544 --> 00:30:39,134 and we would need additional information 687 00:30:39,212 --> 00:30:41,552 to be able to opine or identify 688 00:30:41,631 --> 00:30:44,011 specifically as to what that object is. 689 00:30:44,092 --> 00:30:46,392 (tense music) 690 00:30:48,221 --> 00:30:51,681 - The verdict? This is possibly a living child. 691 00:30:51,767 --> 00:30:54,687 Szydagis’s observation that the bystanders didn’t react 692 00:30:54,770 --> 00:30:57,980 is telling, yet that unnatural movement at the end 693 00:30:58,065 --> 00:30:59,325 leaves us wondering. 694 00:30:59,399 --> 00:31:03,279 Meanwhile, Jesse remains adamant that this is a genuine ghost. 695 00:31:03,403 --> 00:31:05,073 So we leave it up to you to decide. 696 00:31:08,742 --> 00:31:10,492 - If you have ever been caught 697 00:31:10,577 --> 00:31:12,077 in a surprise rainstorm without an umbrella, 698 00:31:12,162 --> 00:31:14,872 you know how unpredictable the weather can be. 699 00:31:14,956 --> 00:31:18,326 But what if the raindrops kept falling on your head, 700 00:31:18,418 --> 00:31:20,248 and nobody else’s?
