[narrator] next on paranormal caught on camera...
[woman speaking]
[narrator] a woman at a 911 call center
Is stalked...
[operator] do y'all see that?
[narrator] ...By a shadow person.
[operator screaming]
I think I was mostly in disbelief
Because I thought someone was in the building.
[narrator] a haunted brewery terrifies some ghost hunters.
[man] use your energy, kick that ball or you can talk--
-[indistinct speech] -[screams]
It was just... It was unbelievable.
[narrator] the Halloween season brings out
The supernatural in northern ireland.
[woman speaking]
[narrator] is this some kind of living ufo?
It almost looks like some sort of portable portal
Being pulled through the sky.
[narrator] and even more paranormal footage
You have to see...
[woman screaming]
[narrator] ...To believe.
[theme music playing]
[narrator] 911, the three numbers you dial
During the worst moments of your life.
Moments that often toe the line
Between life and death.
And 24 hours a day, seven days a week,
All of that scared and stressed out energy
Flows through the lines of communication
To exactly on place...
...A 911 call center.
And when that kind of energy
Gathers within a small, confined space,
Strange things are bound to occur...
...Which may be why one call center operator...
...Is dealing with this.
[operator] do y'all see that?
[screaming]
[narrator] June, 2020, near savannah, georgia.
For seven years brandi kight
Has worked at a 911 call center
That has creeped her out.
My name is brandi kight,
And I'm the one that filmed these videos.
We've always had weird things happening
At the office.
Sounds like someone's in the attic, things falling.
You go up there, no one's there.
There was a vase of flowers sitting on a filing cabinet.
Nothing was touching it.
I was sitting there, and it just fell like that.
There was a coke can on the counter.
It slid across the counter. There was no water under it.
Don't know how that happened.
[narrator] and according to brandi,
The strange activity has recently escalated.
So much so that she has begun to document it
Starting on June 16th
When some lights start acting strangely.
[brandi speaking]
[narrator] four days later, there are phantom knocks.
[brandi speaking]
[brandi screams]
[narrator] and four days after that,
Apparent attempts at communication.
[brandi speaking]
[brandi screams]
I was terrified because I didn't know
From day to day, whenever I got there,
What was gonna happen.
[lynne] what we're seeing here
Is really sort of classic haunting poltergeist things.
So, lights suddenly turning on,
Suddenly turning off, knocking noises.
This is absolutely terrifying
But absolutely classic.
[brandi screaming]
[narrator] but as terrifying as it is,
It was about to get a whole lot worse
Just one week later.
[brandi] I got up,
Walked to the thermostat which was on the other side of the room,
Came back by the sliding glass window
That looks out into the hall
And I saw what appeared to be a shoulder
In the doorway to our break room.
And I knew that I was in the building by myself.
[narrator] brandi's in-the-moment narration
Takes over from here.
[brandi] am I crazy or is that somebody standing there?
Um, I don't... Do y'all see that?
[screams]
[narrator] watch again. Zoomed in.
As a dark figure stands in an adjacent doorway
Before seemingly ducking into the break room.
[brandi] do y'all see that?
[brandi screams]
I got on the radio and I called an officer
To come to the center to clear the building.
I shut the door to the break room and I locked it
Just to be sure if it was someone in the building.
He got there. There was no one in the building.
No doors opened
Because we have alarms that sound when a door's opened.
Nothing was opened.
I was mostly scared and shocked and in disbelief
Because I thought someone was in the building,
And then to find out that no one's there,
Then I was even more scared than anything.
[lynne] there is so unambiguously
Someone standing in that doorway,
And we get such a good creepy view of it along with her
Looking from her door down the hallway.
To know that there was not
Another person found in that building,
That there was no way a person could have left,
Before the police arrived,
That's truly terrifying.
[brandi] do y'all see that?
[screams]
[ronny] I do believe that this is a shadow figure
That's going to actually
Trip off the lights at this place,
And I do feel like it is a negative energy
That is using her fear
To kind of create it's existence.
[brandi] am I crazy or is that somebody standing there?
[mark] when she addresses it, it quickly retreats.
[brandi screams]
And that's often the way we see
These "shadow figures" in videos.
They always seem to be almost spying on the living.
[brandi screams]
[narrator] but why would a shadow figure
Be hanging around a 911 call center?
This is a place that a lot of people don't consider
When it comes to hauntings.
You think asylums, hospitals, nursing homes.
But here, daily their job is to take care of people
Who are in dire situations.
[susan] as a 911 dispatch operator,
You are, at this point, some stranger's lifeline
Between life or death,
And that could be really stressful.
That could be a lot to bear on your shoulders.
So I think that maybe this could be a manifestation
Of that type of stress or energy.
[narrator] fortunately, for brandi since she spotted the shadow figure,
The activity has died down,
And she is still working at the call center.
[brandi] I have definitely thought about finding
A different job in a different building,
But at the same time, we can co-exist.
As long as it doesn't hurt me, I'll leave it alone.
[dan] this shadow figure moving into the break room
Could it be somebody that worked there previously and has passed on
And is just visiting and walking into the break room to see what's up.
I don't know.
But I don't know if we can jump to the conclusion
That there is any kind of evil intent.
I don't see anything
That she needs to be worried about.
[narrator] regardless, brandi's still a bit on edge.
[brandi] I'm not as terrified as I was in the beginning,
So it has kind of toned down that fear.
But that fear's always there,
That it's just gonna show up at any time.
[brandi] do y'all see that?
[screams]
[narrator] coming up...
A team of paranormal investigators
Is scared senseless at a haunted brewery.
[man] kick that ball. Or you can talk--
-[indistinct speech] -[screams]
[narrator] some believe that buildings
Have lives of their own.
And there's one particular building
In california
That might have something to say about that.
It's been taken apart and rebuilt again
In a completely different location.
It's housed several different businesses
Through the years
And is now a popular brewery.
And some say
Because of its long, eventful life,
The building is haunted.
One paranormal investigative team
Was recently asked to confirm those suspicions,
And what they found terrified them.
-[indistinct speech] -[screams]
[narrator] September, 2020, in markleeville, california.
Ryan and river rees and two colleagues,
Nik and wyatt,
Have been invited to investigate
The cutthroat brewing company.
-Hi, I'm ryan. -I'm river.
And we filmed this video.
[ryan] the building was actually
One of the oldest buildings in markleeville.
I was actually taken board by board and nail by nail
From another town, moved over to markleeville,
And it was originally a hotel bed and breakfast.
I believe it came from silver city.
-Yeah, silver city. -California.
Before they turned it into a brewing company,
Back in the day,
It would snow in in that area to where nobody could really
Get out of town or come into town,
And so during the winters,
They'd have doctors come and stay in markleeville,
And they'd use the basement, the cellar, to store bodies,
As basically a morgue in a way.
[narrator] that long history
Might explain why the brewing company's employees
Have experienced the activity they have.
We had actually gotten a phone call
From one of owners
Of the cutthroat brewing company.
She was starting to have employees
Getting, basically, hurt
By some of the spirits that are in that building.
One, in particular, is
An employee was going downstairs in the basement...
...And the basement door had slammed on her...
...And she had gotten grabbed by her throat,
And so that was one of the main things that
Actually drew our attention so that it would make us
Basically come over there and do our investigation.
-You guys excited? -Yeah. I'm excited.
-Let's get it on. -[ryan] let's go investigate.
[narrator] the team begins
By setting up stationary cameras,
And almost immediately,
The one facing the back of the building
Yields results.
Did you catch it?
Watch again. Zoomed in.
As what appears to be a full-bodied apparition
Walks past the doorway.
[ryan] we first thought that somebody had walked in from the back.
Upon further reviewing the footage...
...We noticed that
You could see right through that apparition, and I, I...
I was bouncing around, you know, I was so excited
Because we caught something that was just super clear
And not a person.
[dan] if that wasn't an actual person,
Which it didn't look like to me,
They might have caught the holy grail
For paranormal investigators.
[lynne] it's so clear that at first you sort of think,
"okay, where is the ghost that I'm looking for? Is it behind that guy?
Or is it to the side of that guy?" and then you realize,
"that's it. That's the guy. That's the apparition."
I could instantly tell it was a man.
I could see the outline of his shoulders,
His neck, his head and his facial hair.
But then he does something even more curious.
He appears to step in and take a look around
As if he's checking out the place
Before he walks away.
There is intent here.
[narrator] and this apparition has apparently
Been here before.
[river] that's originally why we even put the camera facing that way
Is because one of the employees had mentioned that
They had seen someone standing there at one point.
Um, they, too, thought someone had, you know,
Stayed after closing hours,
Or broken through the back because they've had that issue before.
Um... So, just... I don't know how to explain it.
[narrator] but for the team, the most startling moments
During the investigation
Occurred during a more old-school method
Of contact: A trigger object.
I had mentioned to wyatt that I wanted to put a ball
At the top of the stairs just to see what would happen.
[ryan] one of the owners of cutthroat brewing company,
Rachel, her two kids,
Her daughter and son were playing up in the attic.
They were laughing and giggling, playing with a ball.
Rachel comes up the stairs and talks to the kids,
And the kids were saying that they were playing with another kid...
-[children laughing] -...Which is pretty interesting.
Quite commonly an investigation
Will employ what we term trigger objects
To try to induce spirit interaction.
Now, it could be a toy, it could be a ball,
It could be anything.
[narrator] and again, the results are almost immediate.
-[man] oh! -[indistinct]
[man] thank you.
[ryan] and as soon as we put it up there
While we were getting ready and setting up,
The ball had fallen the first time,
And so we kept putting it up there.
[narrator] but not without trying to debunk it first.
No movement.
They tried to see if they can make the ball move by vibrating.
They were up on the top of the stairs.
They're jumping up and down, and the ball's not moving.
[narrator] now, almost completely certain
That a spirit moved the ball the first time,
They try to provoke it again.
Use your energy, kick that ball.
-Or you can talk-- -[indistinct speech]
[screams] sorry.
[narrator] the ball is pushed again,
Scaring the daylights out of ryan.
-Or you can talk-- -[indistinct speech]
[screams] sorry.
[river] it was just... It was unbelievable.
It worked. It got pushed down,
And, I mean, his reaction when he got frightened from it...
I was... I was scared.
[river] that's as genuine as you can get with a reaction.
I'm sorry. It just really scared me because it caught me off guard.
It really did.
[brian] there's this predilection in the paranormal
To be all tough, and nobody smiles,
And they fold their arms, and [growls] don't react.
But this was a genuine human reaction,
And it's happened to me, it's happened to all of us.
Sorry.
So the fact that he felt a little sheepish about it after,
Endears me to this investigation.
Dude, what's wrong with your hand?
[narrator] the experience allowed the group to report back to rachel
With one conclusion.
It's haunted.
[river] she actually showed the video at the bar
And had everyone that sat there view the video,
And everyone was shocked.
[susan] capturing this phenomenon on camera,
For people who experience it everyday, it's very validating.
And at the end of the day, a true investigator
Goes into a location to help their clients,
To capture phenomenon,
And I think that they did all of those things,
And they ended up getting some pretty good results.
And I do think that the brewery is haunted. [chuckles]
-Or you can talk to-- -[indistinct speech]
[screams] sorry.
[narrator] coming up, a ghostly figure
Makes a special Halloween appearance in northern ireland.
[narrator] did you know that long before Halloween
Was celebrated around the world,
It was part of an ancient celtic harvest festival
That originated in ireland.
I was called samhain,
And it was believed that at this time of year,
The veil separating the living and the dead was at its thinnest,
Increasing the likelihood of ghostly sightings,
Whether it's spirits, orbs or even fairies.
And for many, those celtic beliefs continue even today.
Just as a woman in northern ireland
Who pointed her surveillance camera
At the Halloween decorations in her backyard
And caught this.
October 2020, in ballycastle, northern ireland.
Halloween is just around the corner.
And nicole mcnicholl has decorated her yard
With gravestones, skeletons and ghouls
For her sons cormick and bobby.
And this year, because of some stolen merchandise
During last year's season,
Nicole has set up a security camera
To monitor the yard.
But instead of thieves, it captures this...
...A vertical string of orbs
Moving briskly through the garden.
At first, it seems to hover around the slide
And then begins to move around the yard
As if observing the various decorations.
Finally, it heads back toward the house
And disappears into the night.
Nicole is dumbfounded.
My name is nicole mcnicholl, and it's my video.
[nicole speaking]
[derek] what we have here is another example of these floating orbs.
These ones seem to be vaguely connected in some way,
But they seem to float throughout the screen,
Almost as if they're lighter than air.
It's like this figure dancing around on the frame.
It's easy to see this as a repetition
Or a residual energy
Of someone who came to this garden space on a regular basis,
And now is still doing that in the afterlife.
It really felt like something was visiting the garden,
And it was smelling all the plants
You know, just sort of, behaving like you would
If you were walking through a garden.
[narrator] if this is some kind of a spirit,
Who or what could it be?
It seems like it's moving in a way that's playful,
That almost would indicate to me that
We're looking at some sort of youthful spirit,
Not only because of the size of what we're seeing,
But it goes over by the playpen, and then it runs over into the yard,
And then it's kind of turning around, like...
You can see that its movement
Is fragmented and quick.
And something about that is very whimsical.
Like, something about it is very playful to me.
[narrator] and if not a spirit?
I think that what we're seeing here
Could possibly be a fairy.
I think in western culture,
Our idea of fairies is very different
From what people in ireland believe them to be.
In ireland, they're basically small magical people.
They're not really ghosts, they're not really humans.
They're sort of somewhere in between.
But they have supernatural powers,
And they usually reside in areas that are very green.
If you have a really beautiful, lush, green garden,
Then you are going to attract the presence of fairies.
[narrator] whatever this thing is, the fact that
It was spotted during this time of year
In this particular setting certainly makes sense.
[lynne] we can't really overlook the fact
That it's Halloween and we're in ireland,
And ireland, of course, is the birthplace
Of the original tradition that has given us Halloween.
[susan] if you've ever visited ireland,
There are literally bridges that are adorned with
Little trinkets and jewelry and shiny things and gifts
Because they're offerings for the fae.
And when you add the fact
That we're getting close to samhain,
When the veil between the other world and our world is at its thinnest,
Which mean that the fae are getting stronger within our realm,
And then, you have a garden of knick-knacks and decorations
To celebrate the occasion, which are things that fairies love,
I think that's the reason why she's getting all this activity.
[narrator] though she still has no idea
Exactly what she caught,
Nicole is just grateful to have gotten
A glimpse of something
That's probably been present in the area for centuries.
[nicole speaking]
[narrator] coming up, a man in England
Sees this bizarre ufo near his home.
[narrator] as we all know by now,
Ufos come in all kinds of shapes and sizes.
From small balls of light...
[woman] okay, so, I don't know what this is.
...To dazzling orbs
To massive triangular crafts moving slowly overhead.
[woman] can you see?
[narrator] but none are quite as confusing
As the ones that are shaped like a biological entity.
[man] it seems to be alive, you guys.
[narrator] and though we've seen quite a few of these recently,
We are no closer to figuring out what they are.
Just ask the man in England who captured this.
[man] what is this?
[narrator] November 14, 2020.
In county norfolk, on the eastern side of England.
It's late in the evening,
And kevin folan is driving along the countryside,
A short distance from his home,
When suddenly, something catches his eye.
So he pulls over and starts to record.
[man] what is this?
[narrator] it's a strange, oddly shaped object
Floating in the sky.
It looks huge, makes no sound
And is moving at an almost an impossibly slow speed.
Kevin watches it for 15 minutes
As it slowly makes its way toward the horizon.
And he has no idea what this thing is.
My name is kevin folan.
I'm the person who shot the video.
[narrator] later, when kevin looks for an answer
As to what this thing could be...
...He only ends up with more questions.
[kevin speaking]
[sapphire] so, the usual go-tos when ruling out things
That we see in the sky are
Weather balloons, chinese lanterns,
Flares, drones, planes.
I don't think that this falls in any of those categories.
[lynne] when we see ufos, we tend to see things
That look mechanical.
But something that this that looks so organic,
So amorphous...
It almost looks like some sort of portable portal
Being pulled through he sky.
[aaron] this strikes me as biological in nature.
And who is to say that if we had visitors
From another planet or even dimension,
That their form of travel might not be organic,
Or perhaps we are looking at a biological entity itself.
[sapphire] biological ufos are something
That's becoming a little bit more popular.
Those are the ones that don't really feel like
The typical spacecrafts that we're used to seeing.
They look more like real organisms
That are floating in the sky.
[narrator] and in fact...
[man speaking other dialect]
...There have been quite a few of these
Odd biological ufos spotted recently.
[man] that is weird.
[narrator] all of them equally perplexing.
[woman] looks like a jellyfish.
[man] it seems to be alive, you guys.
[lynne] this is why
Folklorists has to always pay attention to context.
A singular story never exists in a vacuum.
When we take a step back
And we look at a particular region
Or a particular time period or a particular culture
In which something is consistently happening
And consistently being reported,
That's when we start to say,
"okay, this population is accurately describing
Something that's truly taking place."
[aaron] I cannot emphasize enough
Two things about this footage.
One is that sightings overall are increasing.
And secondly, the shapes reported
Are increasingly weird and unusual.
Perhaps these things are presenting themselves
In new shapes to challenge our perceptions
Or maybe even prepare us for something bigger.
[narrator] whatever this thing is,
Spacecraft, living creature or something else entirely,
We'll have to wait and see.
Until then, kevin is open minded.
[kevin speaking]
[narrator] coming up,
A woman's home is invaded...
...By a ghost.
-[door slams] -[woman screams]
[narrator] when you're home alone...
[door slams]
...Every little scratch,
-Creak... -[door creaking]
...Or bump that you hear...
[door creaks]
...Can sometimes cause overwhelming anxiety.
Because let's face it,
There are few situations more terrifying
Than having to face an unwanted intruder.
Especially, when that intruder
Might be a ghost.
That's the reality
That one woman in montana was forced to confront.
[caitlyn] oh, god. [panting]
-[door closes] -and she's reeling
From the experience.
-[door slams] -[woman screams]
[narrator] 2018 in bozeman, montana,
Caitlyn haden has experienced strange bouts
Of paranormal activity in her home
For quite some time.
But tonight,
That activity is about to reach a new level.
Her roommate is out for the night,
And caitlyn is alone lying in bed...
[buzzing]
...When she hears something downstairs.
She gets up,
And makes her way toward the staircase
To the first floor.
And as she gets closer...
...It becomes more and more clear
That she is not alone.
[caitlyn] oh, god.
-[door closes] -[panting]
[bleep].
[panting]
[door clatters]
[narrator] someone or something
Is trying to get in...
[door clatters]
...Through both doors.
[doorknob rattles]
But no one is there.
Watch again
As one of the bedroom doors slams shut,
Causing caitlyn to stop recording.
But it's not over yet.
Moments later, she starts recording again.
She grabs a golf club for protection.
But if this is a ghost,
It won't do her much good.
-[door slams] -[caitlyn screams]
[screaming]
[narrator] caitlyn says the activity stopped at this point,
And she is sure that whatever this was,
It was not of this world.
This is really scary.
This is one of those videos
That literally makes my heart race.
It feels like this poor woman
Is being tormented, pursued and stalked.
-[woman] oh, god. -[door closes]
What caught me off-guard
That I thought was interesting
Is how both doors open at the same time.
And that that gives you anxiety even more
Because now you have two points of entry
Where something could come at you.
[brian] either a, whatever it was
Looked into the room, decided,
"I don't need to come in here,"
And then slammed and moved on.
Or, "I'm in here now,"
-[door slams] -...Slam.
"we're in here together."
[door closes]
[narrator] terrifying, but could caitlyn's fear
Be making it even more powerful?
[susan] when she runs to her room
And closes the door,
She's thinking, "oh, my god.
I hope this thing doesn't come upstairs",
Signaling the thing to come upstairs.
Then, "oh, my god. I hope this thing doesn't come in my room",
Signaling this thing to come in her room.
She's giving them the play-by-play
Of what her anxiety and fears are,
And they're acting upon it.
[narrator] and what makes this situation
Even more bizarre
Is that caitlyn says all the paranormal activity
That happened while she was living in the house
Was only witnessed by her.
Her roommate saw none of it.
Seems like ghosts pick people out
When it comes to hauntings.
You will often hear about cases
Where one particular person living in a house
Seems to be the brunt of most of the activity
And some of the other people
Don't even believe it's taking place
Let alone have it happen to them.
[narrator] after this event, caitlyn had had enough.
She left the house for good
A couple of months later.
And the activity, whatever it was,
Didn't follow.
She could've been in a different state of mind
When she moved.
She might have subconsciously
Felt like she had a new start.
And then, feeling that confidence,
Feeling that freshness,
That in a way released the attachment.
-[caitlyn] oh, god. -[door closes]
[narrator] let's hope for her sake,
It stays that way.
-[door slams] -[caitlyn screams]
[narrator] coming up, is a spirit giving this doll
The ability to walk?
[narrator] robert, annabelle,
Letta.
Why are spirits so often attracted to dolls?
One reason perhaps
Is that some dolls are so lifelike...
[doll chattering]
...That all a spirit has to do is move right in...
...And with a little bit of energy
Become almost alive again.
[woman gasps]
[narrator] that's what might be happening
With one doll in mexico.
And she is causing quite a stir.
June, 2020, in saltillo, mexico.
For decades,
Rosa elva valdes alvarado
Has owned a doll that some find
Peculiar.
My name is rosa elva valdes alvarado,
And the doll is called rosita, like me.
[narrator] one day, she finally decided
To take rosita out of her box
And started to dress her in her daughter's clothing.
Then, something strange happened.
[rosa speaking]
[narrator] and ever since, for the last 60 years,
Rosa has been dressing rosita
And somehow...
...Walking with her.
[narrator] and if you think it's just some kind of parlor trick
Or a result of the doll having loose leg joints,
Consider this.
With rare exception,
Rosita walked with rosa...
...And no one else.
[lynne] this isn't a doll
Maybe moving
Or showing up in a different spot
Than where it was left the night before.
This is a doll that appears to be
Just straight-up walking,
[chuckles] moving its legs,
Ambulating while a woman holds its hand.
And it just won't do it for anyone else.
[mark] it looks almost convincing
That, that this thing is moving its legs,
And to the point
Where you're almost expecting it
To turn its head
Or blink its eyes or start talking to her.
[lynne] I found myself thinking that
It could simply be
That this one woman knows
How to manipulate or how to move this doll
So that whatever mechanism is in its legs
Is, is activated
Or, or is made usable or visible.
But it doesn't make sense
That no one else would be able to replicate that.
Clearly, other people have tried
To walk this doll
And, clearly, they are not able to make it happen.
[narrator] and there's more.
Around saltillo,
People have claimed that the doll
Does other bizarre things.
[mark] if in fact there are spirits
That are drawn to dolls, it might just be because
They look so much like the human form.
Another reason might be because
Entities do not have a lot of energy to move things.
Yet if they could inhabit the form of a person
And really move it around without a lot of effort,
It's almost like
They're reembodying themselves
Into the human form.
[narrator] but despite rosita's abilities,
Rosa insists
That she's not something to fear.
[narrator] regardless of how or why the doll moves,
Rosa believes she has been given
A lifelong gift.
[narrator] what should you do in the event
You witnessed something paranormal?
Here are some tips to get it all on camera.
-[door slams] -[caitlyn screams]
[narrator] be brave...
[brandi] do y'all see that?
-[narrator] ...But not too brave. -[woman screams]
Expect the unexpected.
[man] kick that ball.
Or you could talk to--
[ryan screams]
[narrator] believe that what you're seeing
Really is otherworldly.
