sometimes, pets get into mischief when no one's looking,
and with today's home security cameras,
owners can keep a watchful eye on them 24/7.
But for one man in canada, it seems his cctv system
didn't capture his dog misbehaving.
It picked up his pet's paranormal experience.
[ dog barking ]
recently, a study came out that proved that cats and dogs
can actually see a certain part of the uv spectrum,
which many paranormal researchers believe
allows them to see ghostly activity.
Slaughter: Animals can be targets for haunts,
especially when an energy realizes
that an animal can sense it.
Narrator: Kaelin ruddock from brampton, canada,
is convinced of just that.
Early one morning, while his family was asleep upstairs,
they were awakened by a loud noise
coming from downstairs.
♪♪
my name's kaelin ruddock,
and this is my video of my dog, sandy.
What happened was that day,
I actually was sleeping and heard a bang,
and I didn't think anything of it.
But the next day, my mom was like,
"that noise was the garbage bin from the office
hitting the wall."
and I said, "what?"
it was just weird.
So, I just decided, like,
"hey, let's just check the camera."
this is the camera, right here, that caught everything live.
Narrator: At first, kaelin thought his dog, sandy,
was to blame for the garbage bin hitting the wall,
but upon reviewing the footage
from his security camera in slow motion,
it seemed as though sandy didn't have a tussle with the bin.
She had a run-in with a ghost.
♪♪
moran: When I first saw this video, I thought,
"that dog probably went into the trash bin,
got his head caught, panicked, and flew out of the room,
and the waste basket came flying out after him."
the thing that really changed my mind a little bit
was the fact that the trash bin just keeps rolling
without any force being exerted on it.
It never comes to rest,
like any inanimate object should,
and even the dog seems to watch it,
wondering, "when is this gonna end?"
and it seemed very spooked out by it.
Ruddock: That bin was rolling back and forth
for easily two minutes.
There's no air vents above or below that floor,
that whole area.
Nothing strong enough to move a metal garbage bin.
So, it was just rolling on its own,
and you can make up your own conclusion on that.
Narrator: As the bin rolled back and forth,
kaelin's mother walked down the stairs
to see what was causing all the commotion...
And she didn't like what she was seeing.
Ruddock: My mom went downstairs and then realized
she needed my dad, so she went back up.
She was a little freaked out.
Kissel: I like this footage because that's kind of
exactly how I would react if I saw a garbage can shaking.
I'd walk downstairs, I'd take a look at it, I'd be like,
"hmm, that garbage can is definitely shaking",
and then, I think my brain would just be like,
"better go back upstairs and try to forget it ever happened."
narrator: Kaelin's clip captured the attention
of almost 5 million viewers on youtube,
and many of them were intrigued to find out more.
So in order to explain the paranormal activity
his surveillance camera had captured,
kaelin did what any investigator would do --
he tried to debunk it.
Ruddock: This is where it all happened.
You're seeing it from a different perspective now.
For all those people that were so curious and could never see,
this is what the doorway looked like.
Yep, this is how narrow it is.
This is the office, right here.
This is the bin. This is the bin.
This is where it was located.
Cano: I like that he did the follow-up video.
When so many people have questions, for him to say,
"all right, here is step by step by step -- "
the environment, the situation.
He adds a lot of credibility to that first event.
Ruddock: If she did hypothetically move this bin,
she'd have to get it from underneath here, past here --
this tight area here -- through here,
and I've tried this so many times,
I have to have two hands on it -- humanly possible --
to get it as close to it rolled in the video.
And I still can't get it perfect.
Cano: Seeing the logistics of the floor plan,
the dog would have had to do a lot of manipulating
to get it out from underneath the desk,
around the corner, through the doorway,
and in that time be spooked enough to run away from it.
Moran: It almost seems impossible
that the simple act of knocking over a basket
would lead to this massive sweeping motion
that we get in the video.
There doesn't seem to be enough room
to even get a running start to do that.
It seems like it was just propelled
with a great amount of force,
and we don't know what that force really was.
Narrator: Even to this day, kaelin's dog, sandy,
wants nothing to do with that trash bin.
Ruddock: Whenever I bring that bin out,
it's like she remembers that moment,
and she just thinks something's happening like that
all over again, so she just runs.
It's like she's scarred with that bin.
Moran: The dog is still fearful of that basket.
It won't come anywhere near it.
You can tell the dog has had a harrowing experience
and doesn't want to repeat it.
Narrator: And it's safe to say kaelin feels the same.
Ruddock: Even now to this day, I really feel like a little bit
spooked or scared because I live here.
So, for you guys, it's just a video,
for me, it's like, I have to, you know, come home every day.
Narrator: Luckily, kaelin hasn't found any more evidence
of ghostly activity in his home
and suspects his dog, sandy, had something to do with that.
It's actually been very quiet the few years after that.
I feel like if anything, sandy kind of got that energy
out of there, if that makes sense.

narrator: Stretching across eight countries
from austria to France
is a massive spanse of mountains known as the alps.
This majestic landscape
began forming some 65 million years ago,
when the african and eurasian tectonic plates collided,
and the end result was nothing short of stunning.
But deep within these alpine mountains lies a dark cavern
with an even darker secret.
Jim: Jesus, what is that?
♪♪
hayes: The caves are interesting because they're hard to explore.
They're dark, they're damp, they're dangerous.
So, a lot of undiscovered species
actually come out of these areas.
So it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility
to imagine something living down there
that we've yet to discover.
Narrator: One tourist in austria might have found just that.
While jim frissina and his wife
were visiting the town of hallstatt,
they decided to tour an ancient ice cave
inside the nearby dachstein mountain.
We're about to go into the giant ice caves.
Narrator: But little did jim know it was
more than just ice formations that he'd capture on camera.
At first, the tour seemed to be like any other,
filled with unique and amazing sights.
Jim: So, you looked over the edge?
Woman: Yeah. Oh, my god.
Like a thousand feet down, of ice.
Narrator: But what jim saw next
was far more compelling than any ice structure.
Jim: Someone climbing up the walls.
Jesus, what is that?
My name is jim frissina.
I took this video in austria in an ice cave.
It was about 300 yards away from where I was standing,
so I was probably a little slow to realize what I was seeing.
But because I had a really good camera,
I was able to focus in on it.
You know, you couldn't do that with a phone.
Jesus, what is that?
Do you see that?
Oh, my god.
It's climbing up the wall.
To see something that appears to be spelunking up the wall --
what makes this unusual is the agility by which it does so.
Moran: It's very deliberate. It's pretty sure-footed.
I don't know what to make of it. [ laughs ]
I have to say, I've never seen anything like it.
Narrator: The being resembled the creature gollum
from "lord of the rings," yet this was no movie.
Jim, however, had a suspicion of what it might be.
And according to experts,
it's not our of the realm of possibility
to spot an apparition, considering the location.
Jim: Jesus, what is that?
The caves are a very interesting place to investigate,
and I have personally had paranormal experiences in caves.
A lot of cave systems were used by ancient societies as burials,
especially austria, where this clip is in.
So, you had a lot of energy and death around caves
because it was part of their religious belief system.
We have heard a lot of stories about spirits in caves,
generally because when people die in caves or tunnels,
it's sort of not a planned death.
Whether it be miners or railroad workers,
we have all kinds of stories in our files.
Jim: Oh, my god.
Narrator: While some believe jim witnessed ghostly activity,
others feel the crawling enigma might not be an apparition,
but rather something living.
Most of the reactions were that it was a frog
or something like that, of that sort,
but at the distance, as it was,
it would have to be an awful big frog.
And also, the movement just didn't really look like a frog.
And the body, the torso, and everything,
just not a little fat frog.
It looks kind of like a half-frog, half-human movement.
Narrator: Others speculate that all jim captured
was simply some kind of projection.
But that theory has its own skeptics.
Sceurman: I mean, I don't think it was a projection
on the wall or anything, it was just --
I mean, why would you have a projectionist in a cave?
Jim: Jesus, what is that?
I highly doubt it was a projection
because the cave was so huge. It was dark.
You would have been able
to see any kind of lighting shooting across from there.
'cause there were no projections or anything like that.
It's just the huge ice formations that were well-lit.
Narrator: Without any plausible explanation behind
jim's chilling footage,
the cryptic cave walker remains a mystery.
Sturges: Honestly, I'm at a loss.
It's something that I've never seen before.
Some kind of cryptoid animal climbing up this wall in a cave,
and pretty incredible clip.

Video proof of spirits at a famed haunted mansion.
♪♪
narrator: In the heart of downtown san jose, california,
is a queen anne-style victorian mansion
called the winchester mystery house,
and for good reason.
The home is just as bizarre as it is beautiful,
and it's thought to be haunted by those who built it.
One tour guide may have recently witnessed proof.
♪♪
moran: Stories about the winchester house being haunted
go back to the late 1800s.
It's just a really curious and a fascinating place.
Narrator: Construction on this architectural marvel
began in 1884,
after a woman named sarah winchester
lost her husband, william, to tuberculosis.
William was the heir to the winchester rifle fortune,
and when he died,
sarah inherited more than $20.5 million,
equivalent to about $532 million today.
But according to legend,
william's death left sarah with more than just wealth.
She was also haunted by spirits of those killed
by winchester rifles.
Sandalo: Sarah visited a psychic,
and the psychic told her that all the victims of the rifles
wanted to avenge their death and the only way to appease them
was for her to build a giant house
and continue construction on it until the day she died.
She also intentionally made the house very confusing
with doors that led nowhere, stairways that led nowhere
so that the ghosts couldn't find her in the house.
Narrator: The result?
This labyrinth-like mansion with 161 rooms,
2,000 doors, 47 fireplaces,
and all sorts of other peculiarities.
Walking through the winchester mystery house,
you will go up stairways that end in a ceiling.
You'll go down hallways that lead to nothing.
Tiffany windows that offer no sunlight.
It's an architect's nightmare and fantasy
all rolled into one.
Sceurman: You don't feel alone when you're in the house.
Even though, if you're walking with people that are also,
like, on the tour, you feel like
there's something looking at you from some door
that you can't see or a room that's not there.
Narrator: Construction on the 24,000-square-foot mansion
didn't stop until sarah died in 1922.
Since then, it's believed to be haunted
by those who helped build it.
Hayes: Patrons have reported seeing workers, ghostly workers,
that would disappear into walls
or walk through doorways and simply vanish,
so there's all kinds of ghostly activity
reported in winchester mansion.

have been captured on film -- until recently.
In 2013, closing manager chris turner
was making his rounds
when he noticed a chandelier was swinging on its own accord.

slaughter: So, what we're experiencing here
is poltergeist activity, which means it's an energy
that's able to move objects around.
And that would be like the chandelier
swinging back and forth.
You don't really notice anything else in the room moving.
It's only the chandelier.
Sceurman: It's heavy.
To swing like that, something has to be causing it,
and it was just like somebody had just caught it, walking by.
So something is definitely moving around in that house
that's not alive.
Narrator: Tour guide suzanne hursh is one of the lucky few
who witnessed this paranormal activity firsthand
that fateful evening.
I am suzanne hursh.
I am a tour lead at the winchester mystery house.
What occurred that night
occurred in two different rooms in the mansion,
about three rooms apart from each other.
I actually was with my tour group
at the very front of the mansion
when we witnessed the first chandelier swinging.
I was a little bit unnerved at first
because one of my guests pointed it out to me.
I didn't even see it initially because I was giving my talk,
and she said, "what is that?" and pointed at the chandelier.
And it was swinging, you know, quite strongly.
And at first, my instant reaction was,
"oh, someone just went by.
They knocked it with a broom handle, whatever."
and then, we realized it wasn't slowing down,
and at first, you know,
people were willing to sort of dismiss it,
until such point as we got to the second chandelier.
And when we saw that, that did it for us.
I think at that point, there was a little bit of nervousness.
When one person sees it, that's pretty astonishing.
If two people see it, then you have a real incident there.
They were swinging when we arrived in the room,
and they continued to swing at full force
with no loss of momentum.
No one touched it, no one disturbed it.
We just stood and looked at it in wonder.
Narrator: Following the inexplicable incident,
suzanne and a few other employees
tried to debunk what they just witnessed.
Hursh: I checked with the usgs to ensure
that there were no earthquakes.
We've actually gone into the rooms above
and jumped up and down.
We've done all kinds of things.
There's certainly no airflow through those rooms.
There's really just no explanation.
Narrator: Since that day,
suzanne's had several other ghostly encounters
at the winchester mystery house.
It really did sort of kick off a wave of events.
From that point forward,
I had doors opening and closing by themselves,
candles swinging,
I eventually did hear voices, footsteps, things of that sort.
Narrator: But this rise in ghostly activity
hasn't yet scared suzanne away from the job.
Hursh: Probably, in the six years I've been at the mansion,
I've probably had about two dozen experiences
that I cannot debunk.
And I'm okay with that.

Narrator: Another head-scratching event
happened in the town of reutlingen, germany,
when several eyewitnesses reported seeing a similar
three-sided object rise above a nearby mountain.
The triangular ufo had a bright light on the bottom
and only stuck around for a few seconds
before taking off at warp speed.
They almost seem to be observing something,
and then they shoot off at an incredible rate of speed.
This is not really the way that we fly things as human beings.
We're either going somewhere at a relatively steady pace

In 1890s, a gentleman in montana actually shot
one of these specimens and had it stuffed.
To this day, you can actually find it in a museum in montana,
but no one knows what this creature is.
Narrator: Skeptics, on the other hand, thought
the creature chris filmed was just a massive wolf,
but that, too, leaves some unanswered questions.
The odd thing about this creature, though,
is that we know that wolves are usually seen in packs.
They will seldom go out alone, rogue, to bring down prey,
so why this creature would be all on its own

it's still terrifying.

one thing is certain --
this chilling clip left many thinking twice

Whether they're trying to communicate

they're making a cup of coffee and scrambling some eggs.

would take a great deal of energy

One would wonder if that is simple ghostly activity
or maybe something more -- something more dark and demonic.

of the pesky poltergeist, rusty posted his footage online

I had posted on reddit,
and I actually had someone contact me from the area.
And they came and they blessed the house.
They had their little holy water, they had some sage.
They did their little thing and they left.
If there is a spirit that's acting out in such a fashion,
it's probably got a pretty good hold on an environment

narrator: Coming up...
Trail cameras capture alarming entities in the forest.
♪♪
narrator: Trail cameras are devices that can be
easily set up and hidden in nature.
They're typically used by researchers, hunters,
and photographers to remotely track and record
wildlife happenings out in the open woods,
but once in a while, these discrete cameras
manage to pick up some things that are utterly unexplainable.

moran: We get photos from trail cams of people who are convinced
they've seen something paranormal.
There's a lot of strange stuff
that goes on out there in the woods at night.
Narrator: Case in point -- in 2016,
taryn crouse from wellsville, pennsylvania,
noticed her parents' motion-activated trail cam
captured some movement the night before.
When she played back the footage,
taryn couldn't believe what she was seeing.
Crouse: Now, what the hell is that?
Where'd that come from?
My name is taryn crouse,
and this is my footage from my trail cam.
Well, we set it up originally
because my mom was really into nature
and trying to find, like, foxes and things like that.
It does have night vision,
but as you can see before the light beam appears,
there's nothing there that makes this light suddenly happen.
Like, there's no light on the camera.
I have footage of previous nights.
Nothing like that ever appeared,
and it was just one phenomenal clip that just was like,
"wow, what is this?"
see it?
See the rings?
What is that?
It's weird, and it moves.
This is not me moving. You see it moving?
When I first saw it, we actually thought it was,
like, a ufo-type situation.
Cano: This beam -- it looks like something's transporting in
like from "star trek" coming in, but it lasts for a long time.
So could it be a dimensional rift?
Crouse: First sign of aliens, right?
Right there, see it?
Sharp beam. Orb.
It's moving by itself.
Woman: I've never seen anything like it before.
It was also interesting that there was an orb-type shape
that was, like, fluttering nearby it.
Man: These two orbs are just kind of, like,
circle around it and don't move.
I don't know what would cause that.
I mean, it's not swamp gas, it's not a spider web,
and it's not something on the camera.
I mean, it's pretty freaky.
Man: Usually when we see orbs,
they're generally just reflections
off of a dust speck or an insect that's moving.
In this case, they're not just passing dust or insects.
They seem to be static and floating there
somewhere a few feet off in distance,
so hard to explain what that is.
Course: Well, I don't know about you guys,
but I don't need any more proof in aliens.
Got it right here.
I was a skeptic before this happened -- 100%.
I'm the type of person that I'm always looking for, like,
an explanation of what it could've been,
but there's nothing I can get myself to believe
other than the fact that it is something
above our, you know, level of consciousness.
Narrator: That was the first and last time
taryn's trail camera picked up anything of the sort.
Crouse: We never caught anything like that again,
and we never caught even an orb again.
So it was very weird. Very bizarre.
Narrator: Meanwhile, on the opposite end of the planet,
a man named alex captured another inexplicable entity
on his trail cam in australia.
♪♪
my name is alex player, and this is my footage...
Slaughter: It definitely looks very unnerving.
It kind of has, like, a strange little face and glowing eyes.
Man: This looks like the shape of the stereotypical alien
that we've all come know --
the bulbous head narrowed to a pointy face.
I don't know any animals that look like that.
Hayes: At a certain point,
this being seems to move its head
and even -- maybe even blink its eyes.
It almost looks like a living object,
and if it was, I wouldn't be surprised.
Narrator: Alex, for his part,
is adamant this is a genuine capture.
Thanks to the footage captured by alex
and taryn's trail cameras, they were able to shine a light
on what's lurking in the dark when we aren't watching.
