[paul] next on paranormal: Caught on camera.
At a haunted hospital in new york.
I'm telling you, there was a noise there.
[paul] an invisible entity charges a ghost hunter.
[levy] holy [bleep].
It was insane.
[paul] is this flying object
Some kind of alien life form?
[man] it seems to be alive, you guys.
[man] you can see a head, a neck,
Possibly even eyes and a mouth on that thing.
[paul] a woman in England
Gets some ghostly reassurance.
[dramatic music playing]
[olga speaking]
[paul] a bigfoot-like creature
Lashes out at a man in utah.
[man] what the...
I don't know any other animal that would do that.
[paul] and even more paranormal footage
You have to see...
[eerie music playing]
[paul] ...To believe.
[theme music playing]
[paul] abandoned, overgrown complexes
Are some of the creepiest places
On the planet.
[camera shutter snaps]
[paul] letchworth village in new york
Is no exception.
With more than 100 structures,
The village was built in 1911,
As a hospital
For persons living with a mental illness,
Most of whom were children.
But unfortunately,
As with many mental health institutions at the time,
It soon became overcrowded...
[eerie music playing]
[paul] ...And underfunded.
And some of the patients
Ended up being neglected and abused.
[dramatic music playing]
[paul] in 1996,
Letchworth was shut down,
After reports of deplorable living conditions
And forced experimentation on patients.
[door creaks]
[paul] today, the majority of the buildings are empty
And left in ruins.
But it seems as though a few of the former residents
Might still be...
Running around.
Oh, my god.
Hello?
[paul] November 2020,
Thiells, new york.
Levy reyes is conducting an investigation
At letchworth village, an abandoned
And reportedly haunted psychiatric hospital.
Hoping to reach out to any of the spirits
That have been said to haunt the grounds.
[levy] from what I hear, I don't know how true it is,
From a friend upstate,
That there was a doctor here
That beat two kids here
And one of them passed away.
My name is levy and this is my video.
[levy speaking]
[levy] dude, it is creepy.
Hello? Anybody here?
I heard a voice here.
Are you okay?
Wait, if there's a spirit here,
I want you to communicate with me.
Can you communicate with me?
[levy speaking]
Was there a little girl here that was murdered?
[paul] so far, levy is unable to get any responses.
But from past experience,
He knows there's activity here
Because it's close to his home,
And he's been here...
At least 100 times.
[paul] and on one occasion,
He captured this.
Watch closely.
As an apparition peeks out
From a doorway.
[eerie music playing]
[levy speaking]
[susan] what we're seeing is...
Probably an entity mid-manifestation.
And this soft white shadow
That peeks over the corner,
Looks intelligent to me
Because it seems to be hiding from
And noticing the investigators
Within the space.
[eerie music playing]
[paul] today,
Levy's brought a special app
To hopefully bring this
Or some other entity
Out into the open once again.
It plays the lord's prayer
In a creepy voice.
[man speaking]
[levy speaking]
[paul] and sure enough,
Just a few moments later,
Listen closely.
[man] hallowed be thy name.
[levy] holy [bleep].
Hello?
[paul] listen again.
As it sounds like someone or something
Runs toward and then past levy.
Whoa.
Hello?
[eerie music playing]
[levy speaking]
[footsteps]
[levy] holy [bleep].
Hello?
What was that?
[levy speaking]
[levy] who was that running? Were you trying to brush me?
If you're gonna try to brush me,
I need you to show yourself.
[aaron] these footsteps sound like they are charging
At the investigator,
And they carry with it a breeze,
Which suggest that there is a lot of energy
Behind whatever this is.
-[footsteps] -[levy] holy [bleep].
[susan] it just sounds like heavy boots
Hitting the floor at a fast pace.
And that is incredibly scary to experience,
Especially when you can hear,
And even feel
Something running towards you,
But yet you cannot see it.
Oh, that was probably like the worst scary [bleep] ever.
[paul] scary. Yes.
-But what was it? -[camera shutter snaps]
[paul] and why did it seem to run
Toward levy?
-[footsteps] -[levy] holy [bleep].
[aaron] now, determining the motivation
Behind this activity, that's the trick.
Is this something that is negative
Or maybe it's just trying
To intimidate the investigator?
Establish some ground rules
And maybe even say,
"hey, back off."
[levy] holy [bleep].
[footsteps]
[mark] it's possibly that whatever this thing is
Running down the hall does it continuously,
I don't think the lord's prayer necessarily
Made this thing come out of the woodwork.
[man speaking]
-[footsteps] -[levy] holy [bleep].
[susan] a lot of the times, you just have to be
At the right place, at the right time
To capture a phenomena like this.
And it seems like levy was there at the right time.
I come in peace,
I'm not here to harm anybody.
[susan] and also, the more that levy
Investigates this location,
The more familiar his energy
Becomes within the space,
That activity will eventually
Starting coming out more, and more, and more,
The more comfortable it is with levy's presence.
[paul] which is something levy...
Is very much aware of.
[levy] okay, guys.
I'm gonna go.
If you guys wanna communicate with me,
When I come back, please do.
[levy speaking]
[footsteps]
[paul] coming up,
Is this cup being moved...
By a ghost?
[theme music playing]
[paul] surgery is undoubtedly
One of the most stressful things
A person can go through.
After all,
You're putting your life
Into another's hands.
And there's always a risk involved,
No matter how minor or major the procedure is.
Wouldn't it be nice, in times like this,
To get some kind of sign from beyond,
That everything is going to be okay?
Well, that's what happened to a woman in England,
The night before she went under the knife.
And it put all of her preoperative fears...
To rest.
[dramatic music playing]
[paul] September 2015,
Birmingham, England,
Olga grabowska-maras
Is in the hospital.
She's having surgery in the morning
To remove a tumor on her hand.
And she is understandably nervous.
As she is lying in her hospital bed,
Something on the table in front of her
Suddenly moves.
She can't believe her eyes,
So she grabs her phone,
And starts recording.
Watch closely.
The cup is moving on its own.
[eerie music playing]
My name is olga, and this is my video.
[eerie music playing]
[olga speaking]
[paul] and it doesn't stop there.
[eerie music playing]
[paul] olga is stunned.
[olga speaking]
[paul] so, what exactly is going on here?
If you really break this clip down
And take a look at what's really happening here,
It's very interesting.
First of all, the table appears to be level
Or extremely close to level, if it's not.
Not slanted enough that a glass of water
Should slide off.
Now, also you think if condensation
Maybe making this be able to move.
I looked very closely, I didn't see any evidence
Of condensation anywhere near that glass
Or on the table top surface.
So whatever's going on here is certainly unexplained.
To me, this could be some guardian angel situation.
The fact that she's in an oncology center,
And she's probably nervous about her upcoming surgery,
Maybe an ancestor or a passed on loved one,
Or maybe a spirit guide,
Comes in to give her some notion of its presence,
"hey, you're not alone. I'm here with you.
Don't worry. We got this covered."
Sometimes when you don't have people in your life
To kind of be there for you,
You will have energies in your life
That could be there for you.
[paul] and in fact,
That's exactly what olga thinks.
Yeah.
[aaron] I've been in olga's shoes.
I've been in a hospital awaiting a surgery.
And let me tell you, it is a scary place,
And you feel incredibly alone.
So having this moment
Where you experience comfort
From a lost loved one, that is powerful.
[dramatic music playing]
[paul] whoever or whatever caused the cup of water
To move, it had a great effect.
Not only did olga go into surgery much calmer,
The operation was a success.
[olga speaking]
[paul] and she's grateful for that cup
That sent her a comforting signal
When she needed it most.
[olga speaking]
[paul] coming up,
A shadow figure torments a man in canada.
[donnie] you got to go,
You were not invited here.
[man panting]
[paul] when investigating the paranormal,
You have to be prepared
For whatever comes your way.
You are after all
Trying to reach out to entities
That are extremely unpredictable.
And there's no way of knowing who
Or what will engage with you
Or even possibly follow you home.
Recently, a man in canada has reason to suspect
A spirit attached to him at a local cemetery.
And it's been haunting his house...
[donnie] you got to go.
[paul] ... Ever since.
[tense music playing]
[paul] November 2019,
Toronto, canada,
A paranormal enthusiast named donnie
Recently visited an 18th century graveyard
Where he conducted an evp session
With a spirit box.
A week and a half later,
He started noticing strange occurrences in his house
Such as objects being misplaced,
Shadowy figures darting around,
And his dog barking at empty rooms.
All of which has led donnie to believe
That something came back with him
From the cemetery.
One morning, donnie wakes up to the sound
Of loud footsteps running on the staircase.
So, he grabs his camera
And starts filming.
[donnie] oh, what the...
Who's here?
Who's going up on the stairs?
Hey, buddy, are you okay?
Who's here?
Are you okay?
Holy...
[bleep]
This...
This has got to stop.
When we see the first chandelier
Sort of swing back and forth,
You know, I thought to myself,
"well, that's easily explainable.
Perhaps, there's an air-conditioning vent
Somewhere in the room that's blowing on it."
But then we see other lights shifting around
And swinging back and forth
Throughout the house in different areas.
And I can't imagine they all have that same draft
Blowing on them simultaneously.
So, uh, there seems to be something more going on here.
[donnie] [bleep]
Two swinging lights.
[paul] donnie continues his search of the house.
[donnie] you have to go. I didn't... I didn't tell you
To come here.
[paul] eventually, heading down to the basement,
But his dog seems unwilling to go.
[donnie] are you coming?
Don't be scared.
[sapphire] the light fixtures alone,
For me, is an enough evidence
To prove that something
Did in fact followed him home.
It really wasn't until I saw his dog acting really weird,
That made me go, "okay.
There might be something going on."
[donnie] come on, buddy.
You don't have to be scared, you come with me.
Come on.
Can you tell me who's down here?
They definitely have a range of hearing
That it supersedes the humans range of hearing
And they could also see into spectrums of light
That the human eye can't convey,
So animals will see activity before you.
They're gonna know what's there before you.
[paul] donnie doesn't see anything in the basement.
But he's sure something is in his home.
So he leaves a camera running in the basement
And sets up another one
On the second floor staircase.
[donnie] okay. I got you set up
Pointing towards that in the right,
The top left staircase
Is where I'd thought I saw a shadow.
[paul] sure enough, 20 minutes later...
[whirring]
[eerie music playing]
[paul] did you catch that?
Watch again.
As a shadowy figure darts passed the camera
On the staircase
And causes the light fixture to sway.
[rachel] if there's one thing you don't wanna see
Is a quick moving shadow.
If something is scurrying away from you,
You can pretty much assumed
That it's trying to evade you or sight,
Which makes you have to question,
Why do you not want me to see you
And what are your intentions with my household?
And the fact that we see the shadow moved
Very, very quickly and then to see
The light moved right afterwards
Is not a coincidence.
[paul] so, who or what
Is haunting donnie's home?
[aaron] a lot of this activity
Are classic markings of a poltergeist.
Now, that is an umbrella term
Within the paranormal that means noisy ghost
And it could still be connected
To either an intelligent
Or residual haunting.
But when you introduce that shadow figure,
Suddenly, we ain't talking poltergeists anymore.
[paul] could donnie have picked a shadow figure
At the cemetery?
[susan] if an energy really connects with your energy,
It can attach itself to you
And come home with you.
If you're a person that thinks you could just leave
An investigation on the field,
Then don't investigate.
I actually kind of like to leave
My communication lines open,
I'll bring things back with me to continue
My communications with them.
[paul] that is something donnie
Decidedly did not want to do.
And more than a year later,
He is still dealing with the haunting.
Even after having his home saged
And blessed by clergy.
You can mitigate this by taking domain
Of your house.
Setting up rules, setting up mental fences,
Saying, "you are not allowed to be here."
[donnie] you can't be here. You have to go.
I didn't... I didn't tell you to come here.
I call them breakups.
Like, I have to break up with energies
And just, like, lay down the line and be like,
"don't call, don't text," you know.
Just leave me alone.
[paul] let's hope that whatever is in here
Finally gets the hint.
[donnie] you got to go.
You were not invited here.
You're not wanted here.
[paul] coming up, a bizarre object
Is captured over california.
[rob] it seems to be alive, you guys.
[upbeat music playing]
[paul] when most people think ufos,
The first thing that comes to mind
Is a saucer-shaped craft
Visiting the earth from another world.
But in fact,
A ufo is any object in the sky
That is unidentifiable.
Whether that's an extraterrestrial spaceship,
A bizarre never before seen biological life form,
Or even a portal to another world.
Recently, some ufo seekers in california
May have captured video of something
That could be any
Or all of those things
And they're still trying to wrap
Their heads around it.
[man] yeah, I don't think that's a balloon.
[kelly] no, it's...
[rob] it seems to be alive, you guys.
[paul] April 2015,
South gate, california,
Rob freeman and kelly irwin
Belong to a group of ufo hunters
That are watching the skies
Above hollydale park.
Over the years, there have been numerous reports
Of mysterious objects flying over this area.
And sure enough it doesn't take long
For someone in the group to spot something unusual
Floating in the sky.
[indistinct chatter]
[man speaking indistinctly]
[kelly] oh, it's so little. It's so pretty.
My name is rob.
This is my video.
With the naked eye
It was just a silvery white dot in the sky,
Almost like a daylight star.
But when we zoomed in on it,
We saw the strange object.
Oh, yeah, it's moving all around.
-[man] what is it? -Oh, I see it.
Right above that tree.
[woman] it's just floating.
My name is kelly and I was there the day
Rob and I captured this video.
[man] yeah, don't think that's a balloon.
-[kelly] no, it's... -[man] no.
[rob] it seems to be alive, you guys.
[kelly] we always do research into trying to find
What it could be in the sky.
I mean we look at every kind of balloon that they make,
Trying to find anything that's manufactured
That would even look remotely like that,
But that one it's kind of a...
It's just a brain stumper.
That's such a weird one.
[rob] I know.
It is an incredible one.
[kelly] I've never seen anything quite as almost...
As almost creature-like as this.
It looks like it's floating across
The other side of an ocean almost.
It just screams biological.
-[man] great. -[rob] oh, wow.
It looks like a whole bunch of new bubbles formed.
I guess it's possible that this could be
Some kind of a balloon,
Although a very oddly shaped one.
[man] yeah, I don't think that's a balloon.
[mark] it certainly looks more like an organism
Than just some discarded piece of trash
Flying through the atmosphere.
[rob] oh, it's moving in all kinds of stuff.
[susan] if I saw this exact object
Floating around in the ocean,
I would say that some sort of gelatinous
Little fishiness
Or even sea slugs or an octopus.
But the fact that it's floating in the sky
Like that is really unusual.
[rob] it's incredible. That's an incredible one.
It has a top that almost just sits very still
But it almost has this sweeping motion going on
Of the under part of it that almost looks like...
Call me crazy, but like it's sweeping
Or maybe planting their food or something.
[paul] rob had a similar reaction.
[rob] when we saw the things swinging back and forth
Like pivoting from one part,
We had to ask the question,
Is it live,
Is it a creature of some kind?
You can see a head, a neck,
Possibly even eyes and a mouth on that thing.
[kelly] oh, it's so little. It's so pretty.
We started calling it jelly fish
Because it just kind of, looks like it's floating
Across the sky kind of, like, a jelly fish.
[paul] and this isn't the first time a biological
Or jelly fish-like object
Has been spotted in the sky.
One was recently seen hovering over colorado.
[man] dude, that is weird.
[woman] looks like a jelly fish.
[paul] and...
[man in foreign language]
[paul] giant sky worms called ebani
Have been recorded in mexico for years.
[man in foreign language]
[man] discover houston for jim.
[paul] even nasa has footage of what appears
To be a living creature
Wiggling through our atmosphere.
[man] fcs check out is complete,
You can resume the mode until we actually see a shot fired.
[paul] but if these are in fact
Organic or living creatures,
Where did they come from?
[rob] there's theories abounding that
There's a possibility that there's creatures
In the high atmosphere.
Just like in the ocean creatures have evolved,
Just like on land creatures have evolved
And so why not in the air.
There's food there.
There's a new plankton in the air.
[rachel] I believe in cryptids and creatures
And aliens and all things that we can't explain,
So why do we know,
Which we don't, if there...
That there isn't atmospheric cryptids.
[paul] or could these objects be giving us a glimpse
Into another world entirely?
[susan] when I see something like this,
It makes me feel like there's layers of reality
That we aren't aware of and that maybe there is
Some sort of gelatinous semiaquatic,
Almost amphibious like universe
That we live interfolded in but we can't see.
[rob] can you see it?
[kelly] yup. I still got it.
I'm just following it.
It's behind the power lines.
[paul] they may not know exactly what it is
They caught that day but rob and kelly
Are sure of one thing.
It was something extraordinary.
[kelly] this stuff is definitely out there.
Opening your eyes and just watching for it
Is the best thing I think anyone can do.
[kelly] oh, it's so little.
It's so pretty.
[indistinct chatter]
[rob] when you can see something
And capture something
That you have no explanation for,
It really is a bit of an adrenalin rush.
That particular day we hit a jackpot.
[man] yeah, I don't think that's a balloon.
[kelly] no, it's...
[rob] it seems to be alive you guys.
[paul] coming up.
A mysterious figure saves a man's life in turkey.
[upbeat music playing]
[paul] do you believe in divine intervention?
Was there a time in your life
When you could've died but something
Or someone prevented it from happening?
[siren wailing]
[paul] maybe it was your own intuition,
A person who stirred you away from peril
Or something completely unknown.
[siren wailing]
[paul] that's what seemed to happen to man in turkey
And he's still trying to figure out
Who or what saved his life.
March 2019, adana, turkey.
Serdar binici is gathering items
From the front of a shop
As he gets ready to close for the night.
When a man on the street walks by him
And something bizarre happens.
Watch again in slow motion.
As a tap by the passing stranger
Causes serdar to look over his shoulder
Just in time to avoid
A large swinging gate from a passing truck.
A gate that very likely could've killed him.
Serdar is in disbelief.
[serdar speaking]
[man speaking]
[serdar speaking]
[paul] even more mysterious is how did
The passing stranger know to warn serdar.
Watch again.
He's walking in front of the truck
And never looks back.
[susan] he was walking before the truck
Even turned onto the street.
It's not like he saw this truck turning on the path
And the door swinging open.
He, like, had this psychic premonition or something.
[sapphire] I heard of a lot of stories
Where people will just suddenly
Have this impulse to share information with somebody,
Like a total stranger.
And I'm wondering if this might have been
One of those cases
Where this man was walking pass
Somebody who's about to get seriously hurt.
And then just had an impulse to tap them and say,
"hey, watch out."
Why would a stranger tap somebody
On the shoulder and say, "look out behind you?"
You have to remember he was still in harm's way as well.
Why would he warn one man to get out of the way
And not get out of the way himself?
[paul] or was the mysterious passer by
Not of this world?
[derek] perhaps the weirdest portion of this video
Is the fact that this gentleman
Whose life was recently saved looked around everywhere
Trying to find this guy. He wanted to thank him.
He wanted to show his appreciation
For what he's done.
And he couldn't find him.
He was nowhere to be seen.
Now, this looks like an open street in turkey.
Where could this gentleman have gone?
[paul] but was this even a man
In the first place or a ghost?
[aaron] I was raised with a strong belief
In guardian angels.
And the ideas that these entities
Are looking out for you.
Tapping you on the shoulder to say,
"it's not your time to die."
And in this case,
That tap on the shoulder came quite literally.
[lynne] as far as a guardian angel goes
I think that interpretation actually makes a lot of sense.
Guardian angels are figures in a whole lot
Of belief traditions that can take any number of forms.
They can be people, they can be animals,
They can be acts of nature, gusts of wind,
That shut or open of door
That turns faith
For a particular person.
[paul] and you could stretch your imagination
Even further.
[ronny] honestly, I think this is a time traveler.
I was really blown away
By how laissez-faire
This guy was as he just kind of tapped this man
On the shoulder to let him know to turn around
Because this thing is going to kill you unless you move.
He seems to know exactly where he needs to be
At that moment and time, what he needs to do,
And then exit the scene.
[paul] the true identity of the stranger
Who saved serdar's life remains a mystery.
But the video serves as a reminder
Of how fragile life can be.
[aaron] how many times a day are we this close to death?
Could there be some force that's gently nudging us
Out of the way, protecting us from demise
And we never even notice?
[paul] coming up.
A hiker in utah
Has a close encounter with bigfoot.
[upbeat music playing]
[paul] most people on this earth will never
Actually see a bigfoot in real life
Because they're known to be elusive
And shy away from humans,
Making it nearly impossible to find one.
Some bigfoot enthusiasts spend endless hours
In remote areas squatching,
Just hoping to get a glimpse
Of the legendary cryptic in the flesh.
For those lucky few who do,
It can be a life-changing event.
And for one man in utah,
That life-changing event could've been his death.
December 2012, provo, utah,
David mitchell is on his way back from a hike
And he's walking toward the parking lot
When he sees a large figure out of the corner of his eye.
At first, he thinks it's a bear.
So he grabs his phone hoping to capture it on camera.
[david] what the...
[paul] but this creature is bipedal and crouches down
By a tree as if it's become aware
That it's been spotted.
Moments later, it does something remarkable.
Watch again.
As the creature picks up a rock and throws it at david
Sending him running at full tilt toward his car.
When he looks back
He no longer sees the hulking figure.
So, what did david just capture on camera?
[david] what the...
[paul] some believed it's bigfoot.
In this particular video,
You see some common behavior
That's been described
By eyewitnesses
That have captured a bigfoot on film.
They're known as tree pickers and they're very elusive.
But you can see that this particular one
Has crouched down behind some trees
Which don't give it much camouflage
But it's that type of behavior
That when they feel that they have eyes on them,
They'll quickly go into this crouching mode
And almost look like a stamp
Or kind of blend in
With the environment around them.
At the end, whatever this thing was
Throws a rock at the cameraman.
It doesn't want to engage.
He just wants to say, "please, leave me alone.
And I'm gonna throw a rock to make sure you go away."
I don't know any other animal that would do that.
And it's not just that he throws a rock which,
You know, everybody knows bigfoot is known to do.
It's the way that it threw the rock.
And if you listen,
The rock lands really close to the guy filming.
So there was some accuracy there as well.
This guy who filmed this
Is in fairly close proximity
To this creature.
So, I think if it charged
Toward the cameraman,
The guy wouldn't have stood a chance.
[aaron] I think this one might be a younger one
That may have gotten too close.
Researchers do believe that this tend
To be more juvenile, the younger ones
That are making mistakes,
That they're leaving their prints
Or they're being seen.
And this may be what we're looking at here,
A younger one that might have gotten
A little too close to the public eye.
[paul] and this isn't the only time a bigfoot
Has been spotted in provo, utah.
There was another sighting in 2019.
[man] look how big it is.
I think it's a sasquach.
Because look, he's on the mountain,
Way far back on the mountain
But look how huge he is.
[mark] these are mountaineers at remote areas
And that just works really well
With the habitat behavior of this creature.
They are shy and reclusive
And these are difficult places
To access for humans
And probably not as difficult
For these giant creatures.
[lynne] northern utah is a pretty solid spot
For bigfoot hunting.
In the archives at my university,
We have easily over 50 records of people
Recording seeing bigfoot in the local area.
[david] what the...
[paul] although david isn't entirely sure
What he saw that day,
He also hasn't ventured back
To that trail since to find out.
The people that I know that have had
Legitimate sightings of, like,
Sasquach, skunk ape, bigfoot,
They can't go back to their regular lives anymore.
They have now seen something that they cannot explain.
It goes to show that they had a profound experience
With the cryptic and they're no longer the same
From that experience.
[paul] luckily, david's encounter
Hasn't stopped him from hiking all together.
But now he stays on trails
That are more populated or goes in large groups.
