Short filmTranscript
00:1830. An old woman is said to haunt the village of Arai, and YouTuber Han Kardeschler and his
00:25team are here to investigate. As they set out to explore, they hear strange noises in the thick fog.
00:47There was a figure down that road, but it could simply be a person.
00:55Still, it looks creepy to me, and that's made even creepier when the cameraman later sees an old woman behind
01:02him.
01:13They return to the haunted village at night, and through the window of this haunted house,
01:18they see an old lady.
01:33Is it the old lady? The guys think this woman is alone in here, talking to herself, but I see
01:40another woman sitting next to her.
01:42Is it a woman? There is a single one. There are two people.
01:48I don't see anything. I don't see anything.
01:52What do you tell me?
01:54I don't know.
01:55There is no single one.
01:57If this place is supposed to be abandoned, then it's creepy that these women are hosting
02:02some sort of gathering here. But otherwise, I think the guys should continue looking for their old lady ghost.
02:09Number 29. This apartment is home to a highly intelligent poltergeist.
02:15YouTuber Seeker of Ghosts investigates.
02:18Somehow, the poltergeist is able to turn on the TV without electricity.
02:37It also seems to want to break his equipment.
02:47It also seems to want to break his equipment.
03:04And finally, it slams the door on him.
03:22Is Seeker of Ghosts being kindly invited to leave?
03:26It does look to me that he's not welcome here at all.
03:3028. Try Not To Scream In The Screaming House
03:35YouTube Team Ouija Brothers enters the place with Rob, who is a debunker.
03:40And at first, they don't hear screams, but only taps.
03:48It's a click.
03:49But not long after, the taps are turning into louder bangs.
03:58The place is so eerie, even the debunker is on edge.
04:17They then hear the unmistakable sound of glass being disturbed or stepped on.
04:44It's not clear what that is, but to me, there are enough noises in this home to unsettle the
04:50bravest among us. Even if there's no audible screaming, I'm screaming on the inside.
04:5727.
04:59This one's short, sweet, and to the point.
05:02While trying to communicate with the spirit world,
05:05the spirit world sends Exploring Revenant's Paranormal a message.
05:15Not only did the cat ball light up, but it appears to have been flung across the room by
05:20something invisible. The cat ball is resting on the arm of the couch,
05:24which sits against the wall. There's no one there to have touched it.
05:34That's a poltergeist if I ever saw one. Now the real question is, what does it want with them?
05:4026.
05:42While ghost hunting the cemetery, YouTuber Samal Shadowhunter encounters the lady in white.
05:49Take a look, if you dare.
06:10Viewed through an infrared camera, a figure does appear to pass through the cemetery.
06:15Here's a closer look.
06:22Then the spirit appears to settle into one place.
06:36You can see it a bit more clearly with the contrast turned up.
06:51This is the lady in white? I think it very well could be.
06:55But it could also be your average ghost. This is a cemetery, after all.
07:0225.
07:03The spirits have been angered inside this Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired house.
07:08YouTuber Jay of The Journey Is The Destination is about to face off with them.
07:13As Jay explores the place, he hears noises, and some viewers are seeing a shadow figure down this
07:20hallway.
07:26He hears more movement as he continues around the haunting place.
07:31He hears more movement as he continues around the haunting place.
07:37See, that sounds like moving.
07:39And more.
07:49Or I'm here, standing up.
07:52You can tell Jay senses that he's not alone, and this time, he addresses the intruders.
08:12But maybe he's the real intruder.
08:14In fact, it seems so, when the spirits address Jay by name.
08:19No?
08:24They are warning him to leave.
08:26I think that's all I would need to hear to get out of this place ASAP.
08:3224.
08:33Don't look over your shoulder.
08:35YouTube Team KBC Casadores de Fantasmas captured a freaky figure on film at this abandoned place.
08:42Using a thermal camera, they watch a figure appear before their very eyes.
09:02Before long, it disappears.
09:04But they soon see it again, this time along with a wailing sound.
09:23Then, something peeks out from behind one of the crew.
09:41Here it is again.
09:47Another figure appears on their thermal camera at a distance, and soon it moves.
10:07Unfortunately, they didn't catch the jumping bean.
10:10Later, they spot what appears to be two figures.
10:28And then this mysterious capture.
10:31Not the same, not the same.
10:33Not the same.
10:34Not the same.
10:35Look at this picture.
10:38It's changing.
10:40It's changing.
10:41It's changing.
10:46I think many of these could simply be animals in the wilderness, but the human figure that
10:51appeared behind the crew member?
10:57In my opinion, that's, without question, a paranormal entity.
11:0223.
11:04A YouTuber named LuRock is live streaming from a supposedly haunted location known only
11:11as the Yellow House.
11:12He and his friend are cautiously poking around the abandoned building when a faint noise
11:17sends them running directly into a large room to investigate.
11:21The room is bare except for an inordinate number of gnarled clothes hangers in the closet,
11:26which begin twisting in unison, almost as if in acknowledgment of their presence.
11:40This is on livestream, so you can see for yourself at no point did they touch the hangers.
11:45I think the hangers really are being moved by an unseen force based on what I'm about
11:49to show you next.
11:51As you can see from this video, there is no wind moving the blinds or curtains at all, so it
11:57couldn't have been a draft moving the hangers.
11:59They continue to find more weird, miscellaneous objects scattered around the house, including
12:05a rope tied to a ripped kid's shoe.
12:12Giant holes have been punched into the wall of this room, either from destructive teens
12:17or from the previous house owner during an aggressive fit of rage.
12:21Just as they are sensing something deeply wrong with the kitchen, something brings them back
12:26into the room with blown out walls.
12:34They're genuinely creeped out by now and don't make it much further before the sound returns
12:39again.
12:44At this point, Lou Rock wisely decides to leave, before he becomes the Yellow House's next
12:50permanent resident.
12:5322.
12:5322.
12:54There is a church in Brazil where many have reported hearing screams and seeing dark shadowy
12:59smoke.
13:00A priest is said to have passed away here.
13:03YouTube Team Fatos de Mysterios heads to this haunted church to investigate.
13:08Inside, they find an altar.
13:20While near the altar they hear this strange sound and later they spot him
13:46He is kneeling at the altar with a candle lit. As the crew comes closer, something startles them.
14:02What was that? I'm not sure, but it doesn't scare the crew away entirely,
14:07and they end up encountering the priest one last time.
14:17What would you do if you saw this figure in a dilapidated abandoned church?
14:27To me, the figure appears too solid to be an apparition. But that begs the question,
14:32what is it doing here in the darkness? Coupled with the creepy sounds,
14:36its presence is more than disturbing.
14:4021.
14:42This overnight at the hospital on Haunted Hill turned evil, but that's probably to be expected.
14:48The YouTube team, Project Fear, visits the old hospital on College Hill,
14:53and they didn't come prepared for this.
14:56Is there anyone up here?
14:57Oh, there's like mannequins in here.
15:05But these aren't just any mannequins.
15:20Did a mannequin just reach out and touch him? After hearing this, I'm thinking yes.
15:41I don't know about you, but I wouldn't spend another minute on Haunted Hill. It seems to me you
15:48might just end up in the hospital.
15:5120.
15:52These ghost hunters were investigating the Hyalad Hotel when they came across this writing on the wall.
16:13It looks like it's written in the red liquid of life. What does it mean? The place is abandoned.
16:33I think it could currently serve as a site for satanic rituals.
16:48Or a plea for one million views. And further investigation.
16:53What else might explain this? Any theories?
16:5719.
16:58It's often the case that the spirits don't welcome visitors to their favorite haunt.
17:03Published by Dark Life in December of 2021,
17:07this scary video follows a ghost hunter who has installed cameras in an abandoned house.
17:12This is what they captured.
17:14In one room of the decrepit house, a green bench moves on its own,
17:19sliding a good six inches across the floor.
17:22A breeze seems to play upon the curtains shortly after.
17:25Though the windows appear to be closed, after which the bench leans back and then falls forward again.
17:32Later, a strange mist appears in one of the rooms,
17:35as the spirits tell the ghost hunter that they're right in front of him.
17:39He hears a noise rattle out of sight.
17:46What are the energies in this house telling him?
17:50My guess? Get out.
17:5218.
17:54This scary video was posted onto the Chills Narrator subreddit by LeoAlcala213.
18:01Two friends are exploring their old school from childhood,
18:04not even trying to ghost hunt or cause any trouble whatsoever,
18:07when they realize the school could be haunted.
18:29They hear the scream of a child and a small ghostly figure appears in front of them multiple times.
18:34This shadowy figure, if real, has them more than a little creeped out.
18:39But the only thing worse than seeing a small ghost child is when they suddenly disappear on you.
18:56The two friends run away from the school,
18:58and would have no doubt never gone exploring there had they known it was haunted.
19:02Tell me if you think this video is real,
19:04or if you think they were setting up a small statue in different places and then acting scared.
19:1017.
19:12YouTuber Hassan Barbar's mission is to find the Djinn.
19:15And often, he succeeds.
19:17This is one of those times.
19:19He first spots the Djinn around the corner of this abandoned place.
19:37But when he rounds the corner, the Djinn is gone, at least from Hassan's sight.
19:52The Djinn continues to make noise and cause damage.
20:20And throw things.
20:30He doesn't let up.
20:46He manages to strike Hassan.
20:57He manages to strike Hassan.
21:01But he always remains out of sight.
21:11Soon Hassan has had enough.
21:23But not before one last hurrah.
21:34The sneaky Djinn often appears to be in the same room as him.
21:37And yet, we haven't caught a glimpse of him since the start.
21:40Is he invisible?
21:41I think he might just have that power.
21:4516.
21:46Phantom pupils lurk in this haunted schoolhouse,
21:50and they're throwing down.
21:53YouTube team, the new reality paranormal, is being bullied in one of the classrooms.
22:12Here it is again.
22:23Something was definitely thrown.
22:25The guys say it was a rock.
22:27In my opinion, these spirit students are throwing stones at the team in an attempt to get them to
22:34leave this place.
22:35And if I were there, it would definitely work on me.
22:4015.
22:42Everything can be explained, right?
22:44According to YouTuber Kaza Sabrenatural, there is no explanation for what happened here in this
22:50crazy place.
22:51First, they get a reading on their K2 meter.
23:09Later, one of the teams hears a voice that unsettles them.
23:27Then, something falls on top of them.
23:43After seeing all this, I'm not sure there's an explanation either.
23:47But I am sure they shouldn't stay here a second longer.
23:5214.
23:53This attic is coming to life.
23:56The YouTube team, Get Spooky Society, experiences some crazy activity in the room above.
24:16The message they receive is creepy enough.
24:21But it's the devices being triggered that really have the team questioning things.
24:26It also sounds to me like something is messing with the camera's microphone.
24:42Is there a spirit in the attic?
24:44After watching this, I think there's no question about that.
24:4813.
24:50A military ghost is haunting this army camp.
24:54YouTube Team Staffordshire Paranormal Explorers shares this clip of paranormal activity during an
25:00investigation.
25:08What you're hearing is a door closing by itself.
25:11Listen again.
25:20I believe it.
25:21You couldn't ask for a creepier door closing sound.
25:24Because this sounds rather terrifying.
25:28I think this warrants further investigation into this haunted place.
25:32Who knows what could be uncovered?
25:3512.
25:37The Aura Shrine has many secrets, and the YouTube Team Searchers is here to uncover them.
25:44Through a spirit box, the demons here turn the tables and question the living.
25:57That's a creepy enough stand-alone question, but it becomes even more unsettling after this follow-up.
26:04Why do you want to know if we like Satan?
26:06Why do you want to know if we like Satan?
26:08He has his eye on you.
26:09Okay.
26:10Who's he got his eye on?
26:11I don't want to know.
26:13I've never heard that you say that.
26:15Ever.
26:15Satan appears to have his eye on the team at the Aura Shrine.
26:19That leaves me with one question.
26:22How do you blind Satan?
26:2511.
26:26Could you live with a poltergeist?
26:29YouTube channel, The Real Texas Ghost Hunters, shares this video posted by The Wind Call.
26:35Watch closely.
26:44Did you miss it?
26:45Here it is again, up close.
26:57That's a knife flying off the coffee table, followed by another object being ejected.
27:03There's more activity in the kitchen.
27:05Watch the fridge, and then in the sitting room.
27:28Is this the real deal?
27:30Looks like a legit poltergeist to me, and it seems to be at work all over the house.
27:36There's nowhere to hide.
27:3910.
27:40What is this mysterious object on the side of the road?
27:52Om Vlogs investigates.
27:54He continues down the dark road at night and spots another one.
28:09Then they spot a third figure.
28:27You can see this time that it's a statue.
28:30Later, they get out of their vehicle.
28:49And when they come back to it, they find this.
29:07Did one of those creepy statues enter his car?
29:10It sure looks like it to me.
29:12Maybe it needed an Uber.
29:13But if I'm being honest, you couldn't pay me enough to have a possessed half-body statue as a passenger.
29:199.
29:22YouTuber Dima Maslennikov and his team are wondering if they're being watched in this Japanese forest.
29:36Aogigohara Forest does have a grisly reputation.
29:40I wouldn't doubt that something demonic is ever-present.
29:43With headphones on, one of the team hears knocking on their microphone.
30:00In the darkness, they capture a whispered EVP.
30:06Not sure what the meaning of this is, but if anyone knows Japanese, please share in the comments.
30:13They also spot something uncanny in the thick forest.
30:22Is this a ghost girl?
30:24Looks like it to me.
30:25And I guess that answers the question.
30:28Yes, they're being watched.
30:308.
30:32This Greek cemetery is haunted.
30:35YouTube Team JK Bros enters the creepy place to commune with the spirits that reside here.
30:42And this is the best place to do it.
30:45Upon entering, they do hear a whisper.
30:51Did you hear that?
30:52I heard it.
30:53Then they immediately get a reading on their ghost apps.
30:59Is it the same?
31:00Because you hear?
31:01Oh my f**k.
31:03Guys, this is on two different phones right now, eh?
31:06Guys, this is two different phones.
31:08I'm shaking, bro.
31:08As they continue looking around, they notice one spirit right beside them.
31:27It does look like it raises its arms a little.
31:32Later, next to one particular gravestone, they capture a figure again.
31:38Guys, this is two different phones.
31:42We are not making this up.
31:43They ask the spirit to move the flowers, and it does.
31:58I'd be saging myself after this whole experience.
32:02I think they were definitely in contact with some spirits.
32:06And I fear these spirits could likely attach themselves to the team members.
32:14It's a ghost watching YouTube Team Spirit Seekers door set during their investigation.
32:20As the team does their intro near the woods, they spot something.
32:38Then they start hearing things.
32:55And again, it sounds like something is walking in the woods.
33:01Did you hear that?
33:06I thought that was a leaf falling down.
33:08I thought that was something.
33:09I thought that was something.
33:09That's two things to believe.
33:11Although the team didn't see anything with their own eyes,
33:14their camera did pick up something spooky.
33:26It looks like a figure standing behind a tree, watching them.
33:31I definitely see something there.
33:33But whether it's a ghost or a living being, I'm not so sure.
33:396.
33:40Bogarts don't only exist in the fictional world of Harry Potter.
33:44YouTube Team Moxley's Paranormal investigates the haunted Bogart Hill,
33:49where a real-life Bogart is said to prowl.
34:01Moxley explores the area where most of the sightings have been reported.
34:20He tests the energies around here using a K2 meter.
34:24I'm afraid.
34:25Are you watching me?
34:27Can you see what I'm doing?
34:32Look at that.
34:34Then he braves the night on Bogart Hill in a tent,
34:37as he's recording the small anomaly floats past.
34:47Later, Moxley communicates with the Bogart using a paranormal device.
35:06Is he really coming to get him?
35:08He'd better hope not.
35:10Because although Moxley's not the Bogart's preferred prey,
35:13I don't think it would let him go unharmed.
35:175.
35:19Located in the UK, St. Mary's Church has been around for hundreds of years.
35:24The YouTube Team Beyond the Grave heads to the Saxon-era church to check out
35:29the haunted treasure it holds.
35:32A device is triggered in one of the pews, and a number of unexplained noises are heard.
35:43That was quick.
35:49After asking for some communication,
35:52the spirits here suggest otherwise.
35:55Can you touch one of our devices?
36:02Like you did earlier, on them flashing bolts. Can you make them flash?
36:08They take other forms.
36:10What other forms do they take?
36:12The spirit doesn't elaborate, but she does offer this tidbit of information.
36:27Using a Kinect app, the team captures some figures in the haunted hall.
36:46Are these the unfortunate souls who never left this former nunnery?
36:51I think they could be. This is their favorite place, after all. And they do take on many forms.
36:574. This historic speakeasy in Hartford City, Indiana is riddled with angry entities.
37:05YouTuber Kalani Ghost Hunter and his team
37:27They find no one, though.
37:29But one of the strangest captures in the video was spotted by a viewer in the comments.
37:34YouTuber BeccaBoo3397 notes a black object dropping straight down from the ceiling behind them.
37:42Watch carefully.
37:44Do you want us to put on headphones so we can communicate through our spirit box?
37:48Did you see it?
37:50It could be a bird. Or a bat. Or it could be a vampire, about to morph.
38:02Whatever it is, I do think an evil entity has entered the chat, and this team had better watch their
38:08backs.
38:11What if you came home to this?
38:13YouTuber Fearnet shares this footage of a paranormal team arriving at what appears to be an abandoned
38:30house.
38:33All is well until this happens.
38:43The guys examine the doors, but find nothing to explain this strange activity.
39:00To me, there's no explanation that's not paranormal. This simply cannot be explained.
39:05And that's why this clip is currently scaring everyone online.
39:102.
39:12On their self-proclaimed scariest night, YouTube Team Paranormal Nightmare TV Series
39:18experiences this sequence of terrifying events. Just watch.
39:31The light turns on on its own, and they hear a growl. Shortly after,
39:36they notice the curtains are moving.
39:45I think this is all pretty intense. No wonder the team designated this their scariest night.
39:51You would too if you'd ever heard this sound at your elbow.

40:27Don't look behind you.
40:29A paranormal manifestation occurs over the shoulder of paranormal investigator and YouTuber
40:35Chriselle Luna in this scary video.
40:37After searching around the house and finding nothing unusual,
40:42Chriselle doesn't notice this entity right behind her.
40:51An apparition moves quickly past. It's only visible for a moment.
41:10There's definitely something there, and it does look ghostly and semi-transparent to me.
41:16Chriselle doesn't witness it in the moment, but she appears to sense its presence.
41:25It's here, and I think it's come for her.
41:29Spend the night with a pagan entity, and you'll wake up restless.
41:32YouTube team Witch Hunter shares this footage of their encounter with a mysterious being in this
41:38haunted house. As the guys are talking, they hear a terrible growl.
41:51They go into the next room, discussing whether to grab a paranormal device out of their vehicle.
41:57When this happens, watch the mirror.
42:14There's definitely a shadow figure there. I can see it very clearly, and it vanishes when he realizes it.
42:21Is this a portal to another world? That would be my best guess.
