[narrator] Next on Paranorml Caught on Camera.
At an abandoned church in Ohio,
an urban explorer is stalke
by a shadow figure.
[Christopher] Thank God, at the time, I didn't see it
'cause I would've ran out of that church.
[narrator] A gym in Columbi
is haunted by a violent poltergeist.
[Lynne] Someone that we can't see
is dragging him around the room.
[narrator] Are these flying creatures in Colorado,
aliens from another world?
[Josh] What the [bleep] are those?
It looked like it had one large body
and then tentacles kinda running off of it.
[narrator] A grieving woman
uses her TV...
[Angie] If you know how much I love you, turn my TV on.
[narrator] ... to communicat with the dead.
[Angie] I knew in my heart
that it was him.
[narrator] And even more
paranormal footage you have to see...
[Aldo speaking]
[narrator] ... to believe.
Churches,
temples,
mosques,
when frequented by the faithful,
these religious buildings
are filled with positive spiritual energy.
But what happens
if they are abandoned
and fall into disrepair?
Some believe, the energy absorbed into the walls
will protect the sites for years,
while others think, the lack of use
can leave a spiritual vacuu
ripe for a takeover
by a darker, more dangerous energy.
Just ask one explorer in Ohi
who not only came face to face with that darkness,
he captured it on camera.
December, 2020,
Cleveland, Ohio.
Built in 1903,
the once glorious, Nativity Catholic Church
has sat abandoned
for decades,
which is precisely why Christopher Hill
wants to explore it.
My name is Christopher Hill,
and this is my video.
I mainly went there
for the architecture of the church.
It has a lot of pretty murals and paintings
still on the wall and on the ceiling.
The whole point of me
going there was to try to maybe capture some of that,
you know, before it's completely destroyed.
[narrator] And though he's heard rumors
that the church may be haunted,
Christopher is not looking for ghosts.
I heard a lot about spooky things going on at that church,
but at the time I...
I didn't believe in ghosts.
[narrator] But that doesn't mean, he's not going to find them.
Whether he knows it or not.
Did you catch that?
Watch again.
As the camera just catches a board
moving along the floor
all by itself.
It's not until Christopher
posts the video to social media
that he even sees the strange activity.
[Christopher] Multiple viewe asked me if I saw the board sliding across the ground.
So the fact that it happened right in front of my face
and I didn't notice it, that really freaked me out.
You see a piece of wood that almost looks like a T-square
laying down on the right of the frame.
And as he's walking past it it moves out of his way,
almost like it's intentional moving out of his way.
[Susan] That wood
could come from a piece of furniture within that space
that has a lot of spiritual energy attachment to it.
Was it part of a pew
or some kind of prayer table
Was it part of a confessional stand?
[narrator] And that's not the only bizarre thing he finds.
Listen closely.
A disembodied voice seems to whisper...
leave.
I know at the time, I did not hear that.
I... I would have noticed someone saying leave.
[narrator] But that is nothing
compared to what happens when Christopher
heads down to the basement.
[Christopher] I immediately got a creepy vibe
and on top of that, it was extremely cold,
you could see my breath.
[narrator] Once again,
his camera captures somethin
his eyes do not.
But this time,
whatever it is,
it's standing right in front of him.
Watch again.
As Christopher pans across the basement,
a dark, menacing figure
can be seen standing motionless
next to a large brick column
[Christopher] I replayed it over and over,
and I like to debunk things,
so I tried to debunk it all. Maybe this was my shadow
being cast, since it has a head and shoulders,
but there was no way.
It's almost like a black hole of a person.
There's... there's no definition whatsoever
other than the clear outlin of a human being.
What I noticed were two things right away.
The hood like figure that this resembled
and this black was blacker than black
in regards to the shadow people that are often seen.
[narrator] So who or what could this be?
And is it connected to the church's pious past?
This is a spot
where people experienced strong emotions.
From joy, at a baptism
to suffering grief and loss during funerals.
It seems likely to me
that the history of this church
could, in theory, lay the groundwork
for paranormal activity.
[Brian] Having been raised Catholic,
I have always had this deep-seated belief
that if a house of worship was abandoned or left empty,
that eventually something
would come in to take its place.
[Lynne] This is an abandoned church
a place that was filled with people
with spiritual, religious intent
and that's now empty and missing and gone.
So what's gonna move in
something that maybe might exist,
in opposition to those earlier presences.
[narrator] Whatever has moved in,
Christopher believes the message it was sending him
is crystal clear.
I felt like this spirit really wanted me to leave and it showed itself.
Thank God, at the time, I didn't see it,
'cause I would have ran out that church.
[narrator] But that's not going to stop him
from going back again.
[Christopher] I'm gonna go back at night,
I'm gonna bring a lot more cameras and equipment.
Hopefully, I can communicate to the spirit
and, uh, maybe even help it, maybe help it,
you know, move on to the next life.
[narrator] Coming up...
a grieving woman in Ohio...
[Angie] If you know how much I love you, turn my TV on.
[narrator] ... channels the afterlife.
[Angie sobs]
[narrator] The loss of a loved one
is one of life's most traumatic experiences,
and when that death is sudde and unexpected,
the grief and anguish intensify.
So it's no surprise
that in the days and weeks that follow a passing,
people have reported after death contacts.
Where the recently deceased breakthrough
to communicate with the living.
Experiences that can be as heart-wrenchi
as they are comforting.
Just ask Angie Hill,
whose boyfriend came back to deliver one final messag
through her TV.
[Angie] If you know how much I love you, turn my TV on.
[Angie sobs]
[narrator] August, 2020,
Norwood, Ohio.
Angie Hill is still reeling from the sudden,
painful loss of her boyfrien
who died by suicide just three weeks earlier.
And one day,
as she goes through their personal things,
something remarkable happens
My name is Angie Hill, and I recorded this video.
He actually did it four days before my birthday.
We were face timing,
so I'd seen everything happen.
It was the worst thing, I don't wish on anybody.
Weeks later,
I was in my room
trying to sort my thoughts,
and I was kinda talking to my boyfriend
and all of a sudden, my TV come on.
[narrator] Angie is startled
Then, a thought comes to mind.
I asked if that was him,
and it went off
and then it came on again
and I asked him if he was okay,
and he turned it off.
I grabbed my phone and started recording.
I know you're here, I can feel you.
Please do it, just one more time for me.
Just please turn it on.
Turn my TV on.
Thank you so much, Jeff.
I hope you're doing okay.
Does that mean you're not okay,
'cause you turned it off?
If you're doing all right, please...
So you're all right?
Okay, no, you're not.
I realized that it was him
just because he always
did like, little stupid stuff like that to me.
If I was watching something he would change it or,
you know, turn it up or turn it down.
[narrator] And just to be sure,
Angie even unplugs the TV
and takes the batteries out of the remote.
[Angie] If you're doing all right, please turn on my TV.
Thank you.
I miss you, Jeff, so much.
[narrator] Remarkably,
the unplugged television continues to power off and o
in response to Angie's questions
for two hours.
[Angie] I hope you know how much I love you.
If you know how much I love you, turn my TV on.
[Angie sobs]
[Lynne] When I first saw this clip,
it almost brought me to tears.
I mean, more than it is spooky,
more than it highlights the presence of the paranormal,
it's heartbreaking,
it highlights the presence of grief and loss.
Hearing the pain in her voice, you really, I... I feel it.
I feel it. I don't know anyone who could watch this video
and not feel some sort of emotion for her
and for the situation. It's tragic.
[Angie] Please talk to me.
[Mark] The television set doesn't seem to be going
on and off at... at random times.
It... it seems instead to be responding
to her communications with it,
um, as if she is making comments or asking questions,
and... and in response the...
the television set is reacting.
[Angie] There's my remote,
they're not touching each other or anything.
[narrator] So...
how could this be happening
[Angie] I miss you so much.
[Susan] I think that when the death of a loved one
really disrupts someone's life,
sometimes the dead will come back
and let you know that they're okay
so that the living can move on
and progress and get out of this emotional rut.
It's one of the most commonly reported
paranormal experiences people have,
is someone who's recently deceased,
appearing to them, communicating with them,
giving some sort of signal that say
"Hey, this isn't just anyone it's me."
[narrator] But if it is a signal from beyond,
why send it through a TV?
[Susan] The fact that the television was an object
that her boyfriend had playe with in the past,
he would mess with the settings,
play with the television.
It just goes to show that this is something that he would've done in life
and so therefore makes sense for him to do in death,
so that she knows that he's in fact, communicating with her.
[narrator] Angie agrees
and believes she knows
what he was trying to say.
I knew in my heart that it was him saying,
"Hey, I still got you, I'm okay, more or less."
[narrator] And the experienc
has changed her life forever
There is life out there
that we may not see
and don't know about
and just always keep your eyes open.
You never know, uh,
what's going on around you or what can happen.
[Angie] If you know how much I love you, turn my TV on.
[Angie sobs]
[narrator] Coming up...
are these two bizarre forms in the sky...
[Josh] What the [bleep] are those?
[narrator] ... creatures from another world?
[narrator] Did you know that there's a creature from Earth
that can survive without oxygen...
or the atmosphere?
It's called a Tardigrade
or water bears.
In 2007,
scientists put a bunch of these adorable,
microscopic animals
on the outside of a rocket..
that orbited the Earth for 10 days.
And remarkably...
most of them survived.
So then, if an earthling
can evolve to survive the cold vacuum of space,
why not...
an alien?
That's the question that one man in Colorado is asking
after he captured two bizarre forms in the sk
that may have journeyed to Earth...
without a craft.
[Josh] What the [bleep] are those?
[narrator] August, 2021,
Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Josh Stoner is driving home from work,
when he spots something unusual in the sky.
So unusual, he pulls over.
[Josh] That's in the sky right now, everybody.
What the [bleep] are those?
[narrator] Watch, as two large, black objects
with flowing tentacle like appendages
appear to swim through the sky...
[Josh] That's in the sky here, I'll zoom out.
[narrator] ...as if they are alive.
[Josh] Like I'm in my car, just chilling.
What the [bleep] are those?
Explain.
My name is Josh Stoner,
and I am indeed the one that filmed the video.
It was a little bit frightening at first,
'cause it was something that I've never seen before.
It seemed so big, in fact,
that it literally caught my eye
a full mile away from where I was.
And so as I drove closer and closer,
it was the movement of the larger one
that really caught me off guard.
You know, it really
kind of brought whatever it was in the sky to life for me.
What the [bleep] are those things?
[Mark] Are these things kite
They don't look like any kites I've ever seen.
They also look to be flying uh, too high to be kites.
Not only that, uh, there are two of them
that really seem to be interacting with each other,
flying in different directions than one another.
[Lynne] And we see them changing direction,
moving back and forth so that those long streamer
whip in different directions,
whatever direction the wind is blowing in.
These are objects moving
opposite it or of their own volition.
[Josh] That's in the sky right now, everybody.
It was like watching a squid in the ocean,
you know, where a squid can like, move and stay stagnan
while it's like, moving its limbs.
[Susan] I've never seen
a biological UFO
look so similar to something that we've seen
terrestrially, like,
squids, octopus that we have in our oceans.
[narrator] So then, what exactly are we seeing here?
A UFO
or some kind of sky cryptid
This does not look like something normal,
it does look like something alive, like a creature up in the sky.
[Mark] This could possibly b
some kind of biological creatures
that live very high up in the atmosphere,
and they might only come down closer to Earth
when the atmospheric conditions are right.
A lot of people believe that these things
are living things that live in the air and the water.
[Mark] They certainly don't look like UFOs
in the terms of crafts like
hard disks or whatever.
These seem to be almost flesh and blood,
sort of like a flying cephalopod.
[Lynne] Whether it's a sauce or a cigar
or an orb or a triangle,
we look at that and say, "That's a ship."
But something like this
that looks inherently organi
we tend not to assume alien craft
but of course,
why wouldn't an alien craft
be inherently organic in nature?
[narrator] Why not?
Indeed.
But for his part,
Josh thinks it could be something
even more mind-blowing,
an extraterrestrial,
minus the craft.
[Josh] What if out there,
there's creatures that live in space, right?
Like, it's an expanding, never-ending universe.
So maybe there's
hundreds of billions of creatures out there
that don't need oxygen to survive,
don't need certain living conditions
that we would normally need
Say, they don't have a respiratory system,
they wouldn't need to breathe, right?
[narrator] Anything is possible.
[Josh] That's in the sky right now, everybody.
That's in the sky.
[narrator] Whatever these things are.
They've certainly changed
the way Josh views the world
[Josh] I definitely catch myself like,
keeping my eyes more peeled
I might be going out there searching for more
paranormal activity-creatures
to record and potentially get my life
threatened by.
[narrator] And believe it or not,
sightings like this,
may be just the beginning.
[Aaron] Within the paranorma community
and amongst a large
field of researchers,
there is an emerging consensus,
that we are approaching a paradigm shift,
that things are about to get a whole lot weirder.
[Josh] What the [bleep] are those?
[narrator] Coming up,
a man at a gym is attacked
and dragged by a ghost.
[narrator] They say, working out is good for the body,
mind, and spirit.
But what kind of spirit exactly
are they talking about?
For one gym-goer in South America,
it may have been...
the paranormal kind,
because when he decided to hit the gym,
the gym apparently,
decided to hit back.
June 2021,
Columbia, South America.
A man is on the second floo of a gym
preparing to workout.
And he has the whole area to himself,
or so he thinks.
Watch closely.
As two CCTV cameras
from opposite ends of the ro
capture some bizarre activity.
Do you see it?
These suspension-training ropes are swinging
on their own,
each in different directions
The gym-goer doesn't seem to be bothered
by the swinging ropes.
But he is bothered by this.
A medicine ball rolling all by itself.
Freaked out,
the man decides to pack up his stuff and leave.
But as he heads for the doorway...
Watch again in slow motion
as some unseen force
seems to flip the man on his back,
grab his leg and forcefully
drag him across the floor.
Terrified, the man scramble to free himself,
runs from the room without his things
and goes straight to the main desk.
Desperately trying to explai what happened
to a startled employee.
So...
what exactly did we just see here?
[Lynne] This clip
really is like an exercise,
pun actually not intended, in escalation.
We see someone working out,
we see what looks like
maybe some hanging equipmen swinging off to the side,
no evident reason why it would be swinging.
Then we see a ball start rolling
and we get a pretty clear view of it.
Nothing touched that ball, and after that,
it just goes off the rails.
I mean, he gathers up his stuff,
looks like he's getting ready to leave,
and he's literally like, flipped over.
We see he has a leg up in the air
like someone that we can't s is wrestling him
or holding him down or dragging him around the room.
It seems impossible that he... he could be
moving across the floor
like that under his own powe
There seems to be an unseen force
that's actually dragging him as he fights against it.
[Aaron] This is dramatic stuff.
This poor guy looks like he's being thrown to the ground
and tossed about like a rag doll.
And if he is being dragged away,
I can't help but wonder
where is he being dragged to?
[narrator] Where, indeed?
So...
what kind of force
could knock a man to the ground
and then
try to drag him somewhere?
[Aaron] Every location has history.
Plus, this is a place where people are coming and going all the time,
and they might be carrying
their own attachments with them.
Additionally, consider that as they are working out,
they are quite literally
expelling energy.
Maybe some of that energy
sticks around.
[Dan] This definitely seems to be violent
I don't know if it's attention-getting
or if there is any kind of real malice involved
as far as the... the spirit
being angry and wanting to hurt somebody.
[Lynne] It's entirely possible,
as with any individual sort of building.
The presence that's there
is someone who's spent a lot of time there,
someone who's strongly identified with this place,
I mean, the attack that we see
could easily be some form of jujitsu or martial arts
where this guy gets thrown down
and his legs being held up.
This could be the spirit of a deceased gym patron
who just kinda still wants to have a workout-buddy.
[narrator] We may never know who or what
was present in the gym that day.
But we do know this,
if the man who was attacked
ever steps foot in that gym again,
he might wanna consider...
taking a few martial arts classes of his own.
Coming up... Is this face in the window
a heartbroken ghost
from long ago?
[narrator] Heartbreak and regret.
Some say, the pain of these often devastating emotions
can linger,
and haunt us for generations to come.
That's the story of Ginevra King
and F. Scott Fitzgerald.
An affair so emotionally fraught,
it was one inspiration
behind Fitzgerald's renowned work,
The Great Gatsby.
But could it also be strong enough
to cause a haunting?
Just ask a woman from Illino
who may have captured a shocking image
of the woman Fitzgerald loved...
and lost.
2018,
Lake Forest, Illinois.
For years, Kristie Ranieri and her husband
have strolled by this histor neighborhood home,
often taking photos as they do.
Then, one day,
one of those photos
chills them to the bone.
I'm Kristie Ranieri, and I took the photo.
It was just another day of walking the property.
I've been walking the estat and documenting
her home for about 12 years
It had been run down.
The people that bought it
have great plans for it, to bring it back to its glory.
[narrator] Built in 1905,
the mansion
was once the home of F. Scott Fitzgerald's first love,
Ginevra King,
a youthful affair from 1915 to 1917,
which came to an end...
when she married a wealthy suitor.
Fitzgerald was so heartbroke
Ginevra became the inspirati
for the infamous Daisy Buchanan
in his classic, The Great Gatsby.
[Kristie] When Ginevra met F. Scott Fitzgerald,
it was love at first sight
and infatuation at first sight,
and it really became a story for the ages.
[narrator] On this day, like every other,
Kristie snaps a few photos of the now-abandoned home
and doesn't think too much more about it...
until she and her husband
review the photos later...
and see something remarkable
[Kristie] My husband said,
"Honey, come in here, there' something you have to see."
And he showed me the picture and, uh,
I just... my mouth dropped
and we got chills.
It was undeniably a face
in the window.
[narrator] Look closely...
at what appears to be
a woman with an ashen, white face...
gazing forlornly out a third-storey window.
The odd image certainly spooks the couple,
and compels Kristie
to do a little more researc
on Ginevra King.
[Kristie] When I, uh, saw
the photo of, "the ghost",
I'm like, "I've gotta look at more pictures of Ginevra King."
And it was amazing
because the picture was so close in similarity.
It's striking how much it's.
looks like her.
The forehead, everything was... it was her, it was shocking.
And so, it's probably
a ghost of her in her late 60s I would say, early 70s,
and it's very plain to see.
[narrator] So, could this really be the gho
of Ginevra King?
[Susan] It looks kind of lik
a very black and white,
high-contrast profile of a woman's face
looking downwards,
almost like she's looking out the window
down at the first level.
And you could see
the apparition looked like an older version of King,
but it still had all the same features of her
which I thought was really interesting.
[Mark] When you see that anguish-looking face
in the window, it's... it's really not hard
to imagine that, that's the image of her standing there.
This was a woman who was never really happy
and perhaps threw away her one chance at happiness
when she jilted Scott Fitzgerald.
[Lynne] The idea that a deceased woman
made famous by the stories that grew ou
of her life experiences
might be retained in that space,
might be given enough energ by our collective attention
to manifest, to appear. That makes sense.
[narrator] Especially,
if Ginevra had some deep,
unresolved feelings
related to her affair with Fitzgerald.
[Mark] After her romance with Scott Fitzgerald
she went on to become a prominent socialite.
She appeared on the cover of Town and Country magazine,
and she married a wealthy capitalist.
But she was never happy, and the marriage ended in divorce.
[Susan] I think when you hav
unrequited love or restricted love
or forbidden love in a lifelong scenario,
when a person passes away
without allowing themselves
to experience that love,
those energies come back
to recreate that romance.
[Lynne] Something like, long-standing,
unrequited love and longing absolutely
can imprint itself
to a building, a space, a region.
And it's intriguing to thin
that such intense humanity took place here
that it never can leave.
[narrator] And perhaps,
just as her spirit lives on in this old home,
maybe it also lives on
in The Great Gatsby.
[Aaron] I do think even when it comes to a novel,
perhaps immortalizing
a person by creating this work of fiction,
maybe there is some sort of energy
that manifests as a result of it.
[Kristie] I think she's waiting for the party again.
She was the center of attention at one time
and forgotten about for a very long time.
and now
I think she's ready to be back in it.
[narrator] Coming up,
a UFO over Sydney
defies the laws of physics.
[man 1 speaking]
[narrator] Of all recent UFO sightings,
there is one uniquely-shaped craft,
which keeps reappearing...
[man 2] Damn, look at that.
[narrator] ...over and over.
[man 3] I'm not exactly sure what it is.
[narrator] ...confounding watchers across the world.
-[man 4] I bet-- -[women 1] But it's not an airplane.
[narrator] It's a cylindrical-shaped, wingless white craft...
[man 3] It's like a cigar shape.
[narrator] ...that some ufologists have dubbed,
the Tic Tac UFO.
[man 5] I don't see wings on it.
[narrator] And it's made ye another appearance,
this time in the wide-open skies
of Australia.
[Aldo] -Well, it's a plane surely. No.
Where is its [bleep] wings?
[narrator] August, 2020. Sydney, Australia.
Aldo Cassisi and his friend Peter Ryan,
are working on their cars in the driveway,
when they spot something odd in the sky.
Both immediately begin to film.
[Peter] It's got a vapor trail thing on it.
[narrator] A glowing, white cylindrical object
is cruising over their homes
Peter shoots it from one angle...
[Peter] It's a plane, surely. No.
Where is its [bleep] wings?
[narrator] ...Aldo from another.
[Aldo speaking]
[narrator] And even though this cigar-shaped craft
appears to be missing, a critical component for flight.
[Peter] It's got no [bleep] wings. Whatever the [bleep] it is.
[narrator] It's somehow abl to move through the sky
with remarkable force and speed.
[Peter] It's up high.
[narrator] So, what are they looking at?
Hi, my name is Aldo Cassisi,
and I have videoed the UFO over Sydney.
That afternoon, we were both working on the cars,
and I happened to look up
and I see this unusual plane basically without wings.
[Peter] There you go, beyond the cloud.
Are they hidden or is a... in a... in a different position where maybe...
maybe the sun's hidden it and you're not seeing wings?
But no, it wasn't anything like that at all.
[Aaron] What we are seeing here
is a smooth, white, oblong object
that resembles a capsule or a Tic Tac breath mint...
that is traveling at high speeds without any wings
or any discernible means of propulsion.
[Brian] How is it staying aloft?
Where is the lift coming from? Where is the resistance?
Where's the thrust
of an engine or something behind it?
But no, it's just
a cylinder-shaped object.
[Dan] We do see what looks like
a vapor trail or a contrail
but we don't hear any noise
we don't see any engines or windows.
It's just this this, uh,
this thin cylindrical object moving through the sky.
[Mark] It's definitely not a helicopter, uh, it's not a drone.
Uh, certainly not sky lanter or balloons or anything like that.
It doesn't seem to have wings, so it's not a plane.
So that leaves a lot of open questions
as to what it might be.
[narrator] Aldo has the same questions
In fact, the only thing he knows for certain
is that he's seen something just like this before.
[Aldo] I've seen something similar
back in December it was 2018,
at a velocity of just,
I can't explain, it was just so fast.
Knowing that this same kind of object,
this Tic Tac style UFO
has appeared before in this same location
suddenly gives us a little bit more
to be going on with. This isn't necessarily a singularity.
Whatever this thing is doing,
whatever its purpose or function might be,
it's been doing it for a while.
[Peter speaking]
[Aldo speaking]
We're getting more and more of these unique
shapes, these Tic Tac UFOs,
which are becoming way more commonplace
in these past few years tha ever before in our history.
[narrator] Whatever this object is,
Aldo is just thrilled
that he caught it on camera
Not only did I get to see it,
but I got to capture it,
and, uh, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
[Aldo] It's a plane, surely. No.
Where is its [bleep] wings?
[narrator] What should you do in the event
you witness something paranormal?
[Josh] What the [bleep] are those? Explain.
[narrator] Here are some tip to get it all on camera.
Never stop recording.
[Angie] If you're doing all right, please turn on my TV.
[narrator] Even if you're overwhelmed...
[Angie] I miss you, Jeff, so much.
[narrator] ...trust that what you're seeing
