Paranormal Caught on Camera

Next on "Paranormal Caught on Camera."

An investigator in Argentina

explores a cemetery that's filled...

...with curious ghosts.

As soon as he starts to enter onto the property,

there seems to be some kind of eyes on him.

A mannequin head...

comes alive...

in Arizona.

We were all just shocked, not scared, more just amazed

that we captured something.

Did a mythical being...

make an appearance...

in Michigan?

It kind of flew by quick and I was like,

holy cow, that definitely looks to be like a pixie or a fairy.

And even more paranormal footage you have to see...

...to believe.

You may have heard of the uncanny valley effect,

or even experienced it firsthand.

It's that unsettling feeling one gets

when an object appears almost, but not quite...

human-like,

such as a robot,

a doll,

or perhaps these days,

an AI-generated persona.

And though the feeling itself is relatively harmless,

if the cause of that uncanniness

happens to be an unknown entity,

there's no telling what could happen.

Just ask a family from Arizona

who hadn't been the least bit bothered

by having a mannequin head in their home,

until it came to life.

July 1st, 2025, Tucson, Arizona.

Rianne Maldonado,

an aesthetics educator and psychic medium,

is watching TV with her family,

when something bizarre happens.

Keep your eyes on the mannequin head on the table

that Rianne's daughters use to practice hair-styling.

Did you see it?

It just moved...

on its own.

Which no one seems to notice,

until it does it a second time.

Catches Rianne's attention.

And then...

moves again.

My name is Rianne and this is my video.

We were just watching TV, and I look over and I saw that

the mannequin had moved.

And I thought, "Well, that's weird."

And I said something, but nobody saw anything but me.

And then she did a full head turn towards my husband.

And you can see in the video, I'm gesturing wildly,

telling him she moved, and I'm not crazy.

So he got up to look behind the table

and see if anything was there,

and there wasn't.

We were all, like, just shocked.

Not scared, because I kinda do this stuff for a living.

More just amazed that we captured something.

No, no.

Can you imagine being in that moment?

You're just all sitting around watching TV

and having a normal day, and then this happens?

I mean, the thing turns its head,

literally, like a living entity.

This should be in a horror film.

It's not a subtle movement.

It really kind of snaps its head around.

And it almost seems like it's going back and forth

between people, like checking everybody out.

When I think about haunted objects like dolls and puppets

and toys and things of that nature,

like, a mannequin head to me seems like

another humanoid toy or a doll kind of figure that

would definitely attract something like a haunt.

And it turns out there was one member of the family

who sensed something was off with the head

the moment it was brought into the house.

Their dog.

Ohh.

She's generally a really easygoing dog.

Nothing really gets to her, but she was not happy,

did not like that mannequin at all.

There's no doubt in my mind that animals,

especially pets like cats and dogs,

have this ability to pick up on things that we can't see.

Maybe that dog was reacting because it could sense

or see the spirit that was attached to it.

But if there is a spirit attached to it...

why exactly?

We see a lot of videos where representations of humans

like dolls or puppets are somehow animated

by the supernatural.

Perhaps spirits gravitate toward them because it looks

like the physical body that they once possessed themselves.

Maybe there's an entity that's like,

"I love the fact that these girls

spend time beautifying this thing."

And so whatever spirit might be inhabiting that mannequin is

probably enjoying the attention of it all.

That could very well be a possibility.

And how special is that, that a spirit who maybe didn't

have that kind of attention in life now is getting to feel

something like that and feel important.

So, yeah, there's a lot of beauty in that.

Or maybe the spirit knew Rianne was a medium

and wanted attention, specifically, from her.

The psychics and mediums I know tend to have

more experiences than the average person.

The thought in the supernatural is that these people

become lighthouses in a very dark ocean

or, if you will, a moth to the flame.

Being a medium, I'm sure she's used to that.

That's gonna happen pretty much anywhere that she goes

or anywhere that she lives.

Often, I will have something like this-- similar-- happen,

or a situation that will then make me think of somebody else,

and I'll reach out to them, and it will end up being

that I have a message for them unknowingly,

and I needed to share it with them from Spirit.

If a spirit was trying to get a message across

to Rianne, it's unclear what it was trying to communicate.

And the mannequin head hasn't moved again

since that day, which, frankly,

Rianne is happy about.

I talk to dead people every day.

That's my job, so I'm not afraid.

But when you actually are in the house

and something moves and it's a head,

it's a little weird.

Coming up, a ghost hunter in Argentina...

...piques the interest of cemetery spirits.

Most paranormal investigators set out in hopes of collecting

evidence of spiritual activity,

understanding the afterlife,

and communicating with the dead.

How many spirits are we talking to?

Three.

But have you ever considered that in some cases,

perhaps the investigators

themselves are being investigated...

by the dead?

That may have been the case recently in Argentina,

when a man visited a purportedly haunted cemetery,

and suddenly found himself

at the center of some intense paranormal attention.

January 2024, Peyrano, Argentina.

Frank Mendez has just arrived at a cemetery

that according to locals, is haunted by a number of spirits

that protect the grounds from vandals

and others who are up to no good.

My name is Frank, and this is my video.

As you're walking through there,

you're hearing any little piece of sound.

Your instincts are going off the wall.

You just feel like something's about to happen at any moment.

And that moment comes very quickly

into Frank's investigation.

Did you see that?

A head...

appears to pop up over the wall.

It just looked like dark figments of things

just kind of peeking over.

And then, kind of, going back under again.

I don't even know what the hell it is that I just seen.

And that was creepy, 'cause at that point I was

thinking there was probably children or kids, kind of,

playing and they're peeking over who's outside.

But nope, nothing. Absolutely nothing.

But something was moving across here

and it looked like a head.

I'm not surprised that the energies are peeking at him.

A lot of times,

when you're going to a location that has activity,

the energies are going to notice you before you notice them.

Whenever investigators come to a location,

they're bringing all their gear,

they're bringing their own energy,

and that is more noticeable, I think, to Spirit

than Spirit is noticeable to us.

And sure enough, as Frank makes his way

into the cemetery...

If there's anybody here with me that would like to talk,

feel free to tell me your name.

...it seems the word of his arrival

has spread amongst the dead.

I got something staring at me from a room.

Oh, my God.

Holy .

Watch again,

as Frank's thermal imaging app picks up what appears to be

another head peeking out at him

from the entrance to a mausoleum.

There is someone legitimately in this room

right in front of me right now.
