Do you believe in ghosts?
Many do, and many have searched for proof that there is life after death.
A lucky few have even caught paranormal experiences on video. Today, we’ll
be looking at five of the most convincing paranormal moments caught on camera.
If you’re a skeptic, these incredible captures might just change your mind.
Guest in the Kitchen
In October 2016, 56-year-old Elaine Hamer decided to use her smartphone to record shooting stars.
It was around 1:00 in the morning as she tested out the phone’s video settings
in her kitchen in Wales. Elaine had no idea she was about to capture something she couldn’t explain.
Elaine asks her sister, “Is it going?” to make sure the phone’s camera is recording,
and suddenly, a small orb appears in the kitchen, flying into the frame and zooming around before disappearing.
A few more mysterious orbs follow suit.
But the paranormal activity doesn’t stop there. A white mist appears next, floating
upward and away. And then, most frightening of all, what looks like a human face emerges
from the smoke-like mist and moves quickly toward the camera, causing Elaine and her
sister to scream in fear and flee.
Elaine’s son-in-law Jason Hughes uploaded her creepy footage to YouTube. He also shared
with media that strange smells and noises often manifest in Elaine’s home, which has
been visited by several spiritualists who’ve sensed a presence there. Ghostly sightings
are not uncommon on her street. The neighborhood was reportedly built near the former site
of a hanging tree, which may explain the heightened activity Elaine captured on her phone.
Was it simply a trick of the light, or did Elaine look into the face of the unknown?
Headless Stranger
First appearing on YouTube in 2009, this paranormal video has stood the test of time;
there is still no explanation for the shocking moment recorded by a group of teens in the middle east.
The boys explore an abandoned school, recording their journey up and down staircases and through
empty hallways and classrooms.
In one room, they examine dust and debris scattered across the floor and chalkboards
long ago wiped clean. But as they turn to leave, they are joined by an unexpected guest.
The moment the call to prayer rings out, a dark figure appears by the window and
seems to walk toward the boys. The translucent apparition is illuminated
by the sunlight behind it, and its shape is unmistakable: it's a headless man.
The group didn’t react to the shocking moment because they didn’t see it in real-time.
The frightening figure’s march toward them was only revealed when they watched the video
back later, which is said to be a common occurrence with paranormal sightings. Was this a spirit
responding to the call to prayer? It’s impossible to know, but it’s clear that even in the
light of day, something dark and unexplained made itself known to the boys.
Sleeping Like a Baby
It was a morning like any other in July 2019, when Rob Moss’s wife
checked their baby monitor in their home in Oxford, Michigan.
Their young son had been sleeping normally in his crib all night, so they were stunned
to discover the scene the monitor was capturing.
In footage from Rob’s smartphone, the baby monitor shows their son in a peaceful sleep.
A strange white orb appears to hover over the boy, whose legs begin to move slightly
in the crib. As the orb moves, the baby’s legs seem to move in tandem.
Things get even more strange when the baby’s left leg flies into the air above him.
He doesn’t wake as his back arches and his leg rises higher and higher, a pose he wouldn’t
be capable of on his own. The movement even repeats a second time. Is the orb somehow
pulling on the baby’s leg?
Rob and his wife reportedly rushed into the baby’s room after seeing the second pull.
They continued to see the orb on their monitor,
but it was invisible to the naked eye as they stood by the crib. Rob waved his hands in
the air where he saw the orb, and within seconds, it disappeared.
This wasn’t the first time the Mosses had seen orbs in their home, but it was the first
time they’d caught this kind of activity on camera. They’ve also seen shadow figures
that seem to appear in the corner of the eye before vanishing.
Rob says, “We feel like there is an energy in the home sometimes but have never gotten
a bad feeling about it.” Taking the advice of so many who watched the
video on Facebook, he and his wife burned sage in the house following this paranormal
incident. They’ve seen some more orbs since, but have seen no further physical manifestations.
We wonder what their son will think of the incredibly strange footage once he’s old
enough to watch it.
Basement Boogeyman
In October 2015, YouTube user Advilll shared disturbing footage he had captured in the
basement of his own home. After hearing what sounded like a voice from the empty space,
he took a camera downstairs to investigate.
‘Hello?’
‘I’m going to turn on the light... alright?’
‘Hello?’
'OK'
‘I heard something…’
‘Nothing?’
‘Is anyone there?’
‘Woah, Jesus!’
Suddenly, a clear closet unit in the corner of the basement surges forward, causing Advilll
to exclaim in fear and rush back upstairs. What unseen influence could have made this
large object move with such unexpected force? Whatever it was, the very next night, it again,
made itself known.
‘I heard some noises again…’
‘Hello?’
Having heard noises from below once again, Advilll films from the top of the stairs.
A strange whispering sound can be heard, then, out of the darkness, a terrifying shadow appears…
The figure’s legs and feet are clearly visible on camera; do they belong to a spirit who
used to live in the house? Is this shadow responsible for moving the closet? Advilll
has since moved out of the home, and says he stopped filming the paranormal incidents
because he feared he was making the possible haunting worse.
And… can you blame him?
The Lamb House
A man named Kent Burris lives in a haunted house and he has plenty of evidence to prove it.
Kent and his family moved to Carmel, a small town in Maine, in 2014.
When they rented a historic home known as the Lamb House, they never expected to be overwhelmed by countless
paranormal experiences.
Kent, who describes himself as a skeptic, has been sharing the unusual events in the
Lamb house on his YouTube channel since 2017.
Kent’s videos have documented an extraordinary number of paranormal moments.
In the first video he shared on the channel, a toy horse in one of the home’s bedrooms
appears to fly off the shelf on its own.
In another early video, a mysterious orb can be seen briefly flitting about during an evening rainstorm.
But the paranormal activity doesn’t stop there. In this startling clip, the door to
Kent’s bedroom appears to open all by itself.
And here, a curtain is ripped from his wall by an invisible force.
Kent often captures a ghostly figure, which he calls “Shadow Dude,” in his bedroom.
This shadowy man’s appearances are some the most terrifying moments to watch.
‘I just heard some talking...’
‘Hello?’
‘Are you talking?’
‘What the hell is that noise?’
‘Son of a b****’
In this clip, Kent is investigating mysterious noises on the stairs, only to walk into the
bedroom and see the terrifying figure sitting on the bed. Understandably, he flees the room,
and by the time he walks back in, the apparition is gone.
‘What the hell is that noise?’
‘Son of a b****’
‘Hello?’
‘I see movement in the bedroom, through that crack’
‘You need to get out of here’
‘Is that you, shadow dude?’
‘I don’t ever turn this freaking light out.'
'I don’t even know how this light got out…’
‘I leave this light on, because of certain reasons like this.’
‘Hello?’
In this footage, Kent encounters possibly the same man, standing at his bedroom window.
The figure looks so human, it is only when he vanishes from the site that it becomes
clear this is a paranormal event.
Kent has also seen other, less human-like shadows as well.
‘OK, there he is, in the window again’
‘He went under the bed.’
This clip shows one of the cryptic shapes as it flies out of the bedroom window and
seemingly dives beneath Kent’s bed. The presence of this strange creature, and its
quick disappearance when Kent sees it, is incredibly difficult to explain.
‘OK, there he is, in the window again’
‘He went under the bed.’
Kent has also captured a similarly-sized figure, seeming to peer over the railing at the top
of the staircase.
As you can see when Kent stands in the same spot, the figure is much shorter than he is.
Could this apparition be a child, or perhaps something that isn’t human at all?
In describing his journey from skeptic to believer, Kent says, “The more investigations
I did, the stronger the activity became.” He even invited other investigators to come
to his home, who agree that a paranormal presence is palpable.
In addition to his YouTube videos, Kent has shared his paranormal experiences in his television
series, Ghosts of Carmel Maine. With so many inexplicable instances recorded on camera,
it’s almost impossible to be skeptical about this haunted house.
Which of these videos did you find the creepiest? Did any of these frightening moments make
you a believer? Have you ever had a paranormal experience you couldn’t explain yourself?
