every day, countless videos hit the internet
from around the globe from people who believe
they have witnessed something paranormal.
And as more and more cameras are pointed at the world around us,
it is becoming clear there may be something else out there.
Welcoming a new baby into the home is a joyous occasion
that can also be quite scary for new parents
and not just because of the lack of sleep,
and as parents increasingly rely on baby monitors
to check in on their little angels,
reports of potentially demonic activity
picked up on these cameras have been happening more and more.
[ baby wailing ]
running hours at a time, nanny cams are always watching
and are able to see what parents might otherwise miss,
sometimes to shocking results.
In this footage from 2016,
an australian mom named jade yates
was checking in on her sleeping daughter
and suddenly got the fright of her life.
Keep an eye on the bottom right corner of this crib.

I would assume this is, like, relatively horrifying,
to see a ghost in your child's room.
Sceurman:If it was my kid and I saw this,
I would be definitely freaked out.
I mean, then you know there's, like,
something going on in your house
that you might not want around your child.
Sandalo: It's really strange, but I think that the way
that it's kind of just, like, moving back and forth,
it kind of almost seemed like it was comforting the baby.
And I think that it could be friendly.
Like, maybe it's a spirit of, like, a grandma or something.
There's a great theory in haunting of,
they call them deathbed apparitions.
And after somebody passes,
they seem to kind of check in on family members.
Narrator: That may be the case
for the toddler son of mary katz,
a texas mother who observed this strange activity
on her monitor back in 2017.
Sounds like a man is in there going, "bum, bum."
I sent it to my sister-in-law, like,
"hey, I don't know how you feel about this sort of thing,
"but here it is.
This is what happened, just thought I'd pass it along."
and she responded that -- she's like, "oh, my god.
Our dad used to make that sound at babies."
cano: It's commonly thought that babies,
as well as animals, can see spirits.
They're not jaded yet.
They're not fully in this world.
They're not blocked off to everything
that we as adults often are.
Hayes: There's definitely a correlation
between babies, toddlers, infants, and ghostly activity.
I've received countless reports about children
that claim to see entities in their home
and even described deceased grandparents of their parents,
which seemingly would be impossible
unless they knew them,
and in most cases, that wasn't the case.
Narrator: It's not just spooks and specters
that these cameras have picked up.
In another instance, the parents of a baby named connor
captured some disturbing phenomena on their video monitor
one night in 2016.
The footage eventually went viral around the world.

kissel: It looks like there is some kind of invisible force
holding this kid up on the railing,
so I think that's pretty much a real deal.
Moran: What I think adds to the general creepiness
is the bloodcurdling shrieks of the child.
[ wailing ]
sturges: My reaction?
I would've just made sure the baby was okay,
and I probably would've geeked out a little bit
and maybe put a emf meter in there
or did some evp work in there, just in case.
[ crying ]
slaughter: He's crying beforehand,
and he's screaming at the top of his lungs as he's crawling out.
It's almost like he is already aware of whatever is in there.
It could be a maternal entity coming to keep the baby
from falling out of the crib
and just reluctantly pushes it back in its crib for safety.
Narrator: But what was it like for connor's parents
to witness this activity on their monitor?
My name is chuck booth.
I am connor's dad.
We weren't watching the video live when it happened.
We saw it the next morning.
It was very hard to watch as a parent,
knowing that your kid could've really severely hurt himself.
Those screams were definitely the worst they'd ever been,
that's for sure.

I don't know what made him stand up on the crib rail,
if it was balance, if it was aliens,
if it was paranormal activity.
I don't know. I just know that he did it,
and it was pretty crazy and creepy.
He hasn't done anything like that again.
The next day, we put him in a toddler bed
so it couldn't happen again.
Narrator: Connor may be totally fine and possession-free,
but parents...
Better keep an extra eye on those baby monitors.
Who knows what other paranormal activity
is hiding in those nurseries?
The remote camera is always watching.
Narrator: Gaspé, quebec, is home to four national parks,
making it a perfect place
to stake out some of the beautiful wildlife
that live in this coastal region of canada.

Cano: The thing that makes this clip scary is the fact
that the woman didn't see it when she was taking the video.
She was filming something else,

If I was that moose,
I would definitely get out of there as quick as possible.
Sceurman: The more sparsely populated an area is,
it's more likely for these unknown creatures
to live and thrive, you know,

I just don't know what it is.
Hayes: This particular video is very interesting
because it does look like a creature known as the rake.
[ growls ]
it's all over the internet. It's all over social media.
So anybody that has a mouse and a keyboard
knows what the rake is.
Narrator: The rake is a relatively new monster
with stories only first appearing on the internet
around 2006.
But since then, it's become the stuff of nightmares,
taking its place amongst the more frightening legends.
It's described as a strange,
humanlike creature with dark black eyes
and can cause not just physical harm to those
that it comes in contact with but also psychological trauma.
Reagan: The rake is an example of how the internet
can just glob onto a story
and turn it into an urban legend almost overnight.
Kissel: People now have a place
where they can put their footage,
where they can interact with other people
who perhaps have seen things like the rake
or the other cryptids,
and it really does give a little bit more legitimacy
to the science behind cryptozoology
and what exactly is going on out there.
Hayes: The rake is a entity that was created on the internet,
but that doesn't stop people from seeing it
from time to time.
There's a phenomenon known as tulpa,
which is part of an ancient tibetan practice
that basically, in short,
if enough people think about an entity,
if enough people imagine a creature,
they can will it to be.
Cano: Some of those stories are very chilling.
The things that have happened and the deaths
that were connected to this alleged creature?
Bloodcurdling.

perhaps willed into existence by millions of believers,
you better think twice about venturing too deep
into the canadian woods.

These rings in the sky have been appearing more and more.
Kissel: I think this footage is compelling.
You got 12 stationary lights.
I've never really seen anything like that before.
Shaun: You can see my kids.
It's the strangest thing I've ever seen.
The guy videoing clearly believes he sees something.
His kids clearly believe that he sees something,

I have seen something very similar in real life.
I remember being atop the mountains

so it's just purely open sky,
and you could see these lights just kind of form,
and when, like, three or four would form
and then five and six,
and then they'd start flashing different colors,
and it was doing that for, like, a good hour and a half.
Shaun: That is the weirdest thing I've ever seen.
It's not moving.
It's just sitting perfectly still, right above the clouds.

narrator: On the northern tip of long island, new york,
lies the once-sleepy fisherman's haven of montauk.
While its picturesque shoreline
has become a sunny escape for city dwellers,
this summertime paradise was recently rocked
by a much darker kind of tourist.
In 2008, a mysterious creature washed up
on one of the sandy beaches,
immediately causing an internet frenzy.
No one had ever seen anything like it before,
and the bloated, hairless corpse was dubbed the montauk monster.
♪♪
the montauk monster is one of the more famous cryptids
out there right now,
and it's also one of the most recently discovered.
Narrator: People online debated for months
whether the montauk monster was
a previously undiscovered cryptid
that was finally seeing the light of day.
But when the creature's body mysteriously disappeared
before scientists could fully examine it,
the debate over the existence of the montauk monster
was never settled, but the story wasn't over yet.
In the summer of 2016, a couple was taking a walk
near the very same beach where the last body was found
when suddenly they stumbled across another carcass
that looked eerily similar to that of the 2008 creature
that sparked the original frenzy
over the existence of the montauk monster.
Man: We've come across a [bleep] thing.
It looks like the montauk monster again.
Narrator: Similar to the first montauk monster,
this grotesque specimen
appeared to have webbed feet like a bird,
coarse hair like a raccoon,
and sharp, canine-esque teeth.
It looks horrifying, and it really is difficult
to say it's any other creature other than the montauk monster.
Reagan: It's bloated.
It looks like it washed out to sea.
It appears to have bite marks on it.
Now just seeing the carcass of this thing is terrifying,

with teeth, claws... [ growls ]

but then when you actually look at it,
it's not a dog because the face is so...
It looks like the montauk monster.
It's exactly what it looks like.
Emtman: What stuck out to me in this video is,
there's a difference between the original monster's jaw
and the new monster.
In the original, you see a very beak-like mouth,
and in this, you can see really pronounced canines,
and that's what I was first drawn to,
was these really strong canines as the difference.
Man: Holy [bleep]. It smells like [bleep] [bleep].
I-I don't know what this is.
Narrator: So where did this new creature come from?
With over 80% of the ocean undiscovered,
many suspect that it could be something from the deep
that is just now washing up on our shores.
There is a large speculation that if there are cryptids,
it's possible they reside in the ocean,
and we're going to start seeing more and more of these creatures
coming up as pollution and climate change occurs.
Narrator: The "plum island" he referred to here
is the animal disease center on an island offshore,
which has been rife with conspiracy theories
of secret experiments for decades.
It is a little bit of a perfect storm to have,
you know, the animal center for disease just north of montauk.
Narrator: For the public, the proximity to this facility
has added a new level of creepiness
to the story of the montauk monster.
Hayes: There's still long-held rumors
that the experiments that took place on that island,
you know, spread out and washed out to the shores of new york,
resulting in the montauk monster
and possibly the creature we're seeing here today.
Cano: What else is still in there?
What else is being tested?
What are we creating?
And, I mean, it's a popular pop culture thing,
but all right, godzilla was created by our nuclear tests.
So are we part of this, or was this preexisting us?
Narrator: So was this creature
just the latest mutated experiment
to escape from the labs at plum island,
or was this yet another specimen of some long-hidden cryptid
in montauk, once again emerging from the shadows?

for why this house could be haunted.
A few of the houses in the street do have, like,
different things happen in the houses.
I think it's because of the ground
that the houses are built on, to be honest.
From some research, what I've heard is
there was a hanging tree on the site.
The hangings ended, I think, early 1900s,
but it's got quite a reputation about this area.
I have investigated places that have had hanging trees before,
and the types of phenomena
that you should expect from those areas
would be body apparitions like shadow people.
What she's capturing and reacting to

Kissel: Because of the amount of death that happened on the land,
it is extremely possible that paranormal activity
could retain itself in that specific area
for a longer period of time.

in places that we probably shouldn't -- former cemeteries,
burial grounds, places where tragedies took place.
Anytime you build a home on "cursed ground,"
you're setting yourself up for this kind of activity.
But are elaine and the family
worried about their newfound paranormal neighbors?
None of us is scared, really.
It's not, like, malevolent or anything like that.

It could be any number of things,

has been seen around a bridge.
Back in 1966,
four teens were driving around point pleasant, west virginia,
when they encountered a 7-foot-tall creature
with bat-like wings and red eyes.
They dubbed the creature the mothman.
If I had to speculate,
I would say this cryptid is the ahool.
The ahool is a winged monster
that was initially found in the jungles of indonesia.
Now perhaps it has spread all the way to kiev.
Narrator: Could albert have captured something
that had been run out of its natural habitat?
As humans have spread further into once inhospitable places,
is it possible that these creatures
are learning to adapt to new environments?
There's this idea that there's a natural world,
and then there's this urban world,
and that they do not mix.
But the thing is, humans and a lot of other animals evolve
together alongside one another, so we can kind of coexist
without knowing that they're even there.
Emtman: We build the cities to be islands
from the scary wilderness, right?
Then we forget that cities are their own habitats.
I think it's funny that if we're going to believe

After seeing something like this,
it would be hard not to question
everything known about the natural world.
There is a very rare possibility of nature causing this fire,

striking exactly the right tree
under the exactly right circumstances,
nearly impossible as are the odds of being there

The universe is working exactly the way it should,
and it doesn't need to explain itself to us.
It doesn't need to say, "hey, human beings, it's all right.

it's an amazing thing to see.
So why this exact tree in this exact place at this exact time?
Was mother nature trying to tell these guys something?
Was there a higher purpose at work?
In the work that I do, if I were to be walking through the forest
and I happened upon this scene,
I'm sure there are those who would take it as a sign,
who would take it as something that was meant to be a message,
something more than just a natural occurrence,
something that has meaning.
It could certainly serve as a significant message to someone.
Let's say you needed a sign of something.
It could be interpreted as a sign of divine fire,
a sign from god in relation to an issue you're struggling with
or a question that you want answered.
If I came across this tree in the woods,
you got to forge a sword in it.
That sword would be magic.
It would have huge amounts of power.
The world is a magical, wild place.
Man: What the [bleep]?
Narrator: Coming up,
risking it all to see inside area 51.
Put your [bleep] hands up. I'm not gonna tell you again.

narrator: There is one place in this world
that attracts seekers of the paranormal like no other.
It's one of the most famous sites in the united states
that technically doesn't exist, depending on who you ask.
It's the site of nuclear tests and 1,001 conspiracies.
It is, of course,
area 51.
For those looking for
real, hard-core ufo and extraterrestrial evidence,
this place may be the holy grail.
But be warned.
The government doesn't give up its deepest-held secrets easily.

I've driven the extraterrestrial highway.
I've gone to the black mailbox.
I've eaten at the little a'le'inn diner,
and I've driven up to the fence line
where area 51 is bordered.
Now there's a lot of tales,
a lot of mysteries about what happens in area 51,
but there's still a lot we don't know.
Sceurman: I think there's a lot
of secret military things going on.
There could be alien technology
brought in from the crash in roswell,
and they claim these modern aircraft
use some kind of technology that is not of this world.
Narrator: Whatever they're hiding inside area 51,
many people have tried to sneak a peek
at what's inside this top secret site
that, since the 1950s,
has grown to almost 600 square miles.
Thanks to the often mountainous terrain
that can't be fenced in,
some alien-thirsty daredevils, like these two,
have found open roads into the heart of area 51.
[ man laughs ]
they were eyeballing us, man.
Narrator: This father-and-son adventuring team
had previously made trips to this back door into area 51.
But in may of 2016,
they got a close encounter neither of them expected.
Man: You ready? You ready?
When we were here last time, that was about 4 months ago.
We put a video up...
Yours are still off.
Yeah.
-Let me see your hands. -Let me see your hands.
Put your hands up. -Put your [bleep] hands up.
I'm not gonna tell you again.
-Back -- -turn around!
Narrator: Meet the camo dudes, the affectionate name
that area 51 truth-seekers have given the mysterious guards
in unmarked white trucks
who patrol the outskirts of the base.
-Back -- -turn around!
Narrator: And the camo dudes don't take too kindly
to trespassers.
Man: We're just adventure travelers. We're just...
-Huh? -We're just adventure travelers.
-Just adventure travelers? -Yeah.
-Turn around! Turn around. -Oh.
Reagan: You're trespassing. They don't want you there.
There's a reason why people work many years
and jump through all the hoops to get clearance that high
to be able to visit someplace like that.
We're going to give you guys a chance, okay?
Get on your bikes. Get the [bleep] out of here.
We'll call lincoln county, and they'll write you
each a $750 ticket.
Okay.
Moran: I think these guys got off easy.
Anytime you're given a free pass
to go away... [ laughs ] of your own recognizance...
As a person who has been
in places without permission myself --
it's a good thing when you can walk away.
I'm sorry for the hassle, guys. We're just travelers.
My bad.
Cano: Seeing a video like this doesn't make me want
to turn around to go home.
It makes me more curious.
Now I want to know what's in there even more.
I want to know what they're protecting, what they're hiding,
what it is that's in there that is enough for these men
to have guns pointed at them.
Man: All right. Let's do it.
[ laughs ] oh, my god!
Oh, my god.
Kissel: It's my understanding that area 51
is no longer the place where they house the aliens.
It's a distraction site
trying to get people to pay attention to area 51
while they're holding the aliens elsewhere,
so these guys, yeah, they got a gun pulled on them.
It was pretty intense, but it might have all been for naught
because I think they were in the wrong place.
Narrator: Whether the aliens are being kept here or elsewhere,
it's clear there is something inside area 51
that the government doesn't want people to see,
and the next paranormal thrill-seeker
who tries to peek inside may not walk away to tell about it.
-Put your hands up. -Put your [bleep] hands up.
I'm not gonna tell you again.
