There have been plenty of sites hosting horrible, and graphic content like the late LiveLeak site. But I’ve never heard of a good site for posting actual paranormal stuff.

Unless i am wrong.

Edit: I get it Lemmy, i might be asking for too much, but it doesn’t seem too farfetched to have a dedicated site of actual video camera posts not edited tiktok or hollywood crap. I’m not looking for a movie, tv show, or a Halloween prank. I guess it does not exist because paranormal activity has been and always will be fake stunts.

Edit 2: dog sees something but they never show the floor. Could have been a spider.

Ghost car cop chase car “goes through fence” but it went out of frame before it went through. Either editing, or like the comments says, the fenced went over/under the car and this cop is just a pansy.

Edit 3: Skinwalker Ranch this was cool to start with, buuuuut again they talk of something blocking the airspace above but what they show doesn’t match with their claims. The 3D animations explain what they see, but the actual footage has so many cuts it’s obviously fake.

    Sad :( the only other kinda interesting thing I’ve heard of are those speakers that spit out random radio frequencies of garbled speech. But again that’s one of those things that seems like you can trick your mind into hearing what you want.

    For once i want to see something strange happen and the person filming actually goes to check it out immediately instead of running into the next room, then go back and let the editor work their magic.

    If there’s really that many encounters people are comfortable enough posting with text why haven’t any of them posted photos or videos of their encounters? It’s whack!

      You’re making the assumption that the encounters people post about anonymously on the internet are real.

      That’s a pretty big leap.

      ceepypasta has countless paranormal stories, but that’s specifically a creative writing hub.

      that doesn’t mean there’s no evidence for paranormal events, but there are way more stories than there is any evidence for those stories.

      I like documentaries:

      “I Know What I Saw”(2009)

      about the Phoenix lights, with video footage of UFOs and corroborating testimony from reliable witnesses.

      The 2001 National Press Conference where high ranking government officials from around the world get together to share their experience and evidence of UFOs specifically, some details of which are corroborated by the tic-tac video released, which is probably the closest you’re going to get at the moment, since It’s official government video of a UFO backed up by the testimony of experienced navy pilots.

      Out of the Blue(2003) is good also.

      Small Town Monsters is a production company with great documentaries on cryptids, but are all anecdotes and testimonies and don’t include any reliable evidence that any of the creatures exist.

      The last time a cryptid became real was a century ago when mountain gorillas were undisputably documented after legends of ape-men floated around for a long time.

      giant squids were more recently verified on video, but they are a half dozen meters long rather than the kraken-sized things people are still expecting. I wouldn’t be surprised if we found larger squids eventually, but we don’t have any on film yet.

        Thanks, I’ll look into the things you’ve mentioned. All i meant to harp on was if there’s sooooooooo many testimonies about paranormal things why haven’t those people recorded evidence.

        I’ve known friends, and acquaintances claiming paranormal activity ‘constantly’ happening, but when i press them and ask “why not record it?” I get chuckles “oooh because it’s at random,” or “i just left it alone”. Nothing concrete :(

        Edit: it feels similar to people saying “God showed me a sign he was real” but the sign was really their lighter ran out of fluid so they took it as God said to stop smoking.

          “their lighter ran out of fluid so they took it as God said to stop smoking.”

          most paranormal events I’ve looked into seem to fall into this category.

          The national press conference and those documentaries at least contain basic, practical evidence of UFOs with reliable testimony.

          there’s actually another great documentary that I have not been able to find again featuring a lifelong film editor, and he has really interesting footage of weird super high speed lights around NASA spacecraft from official NASA footage.

          at normal speed they look like random blinks of light or reflections.

          The film editor slowed the footage way down to look at the video frame by frame and there are discreet red and blue objects moving in toward parts of nasa spacecraft, circling around, pausing, hovering for a while, and then moving out away from the spacecraft.

          he also has really interesting footage of the sts-75 space tether project, where these massive shapes in the background that are assumed to be video artifacts are actually passing behind the space tether, implying that they are actual vast objects in outer space rather than video artifacts.

          unfortunately, I’ve been trying to find this documentary again for years and have been unsuccessful.

          I’m just mentioning it in case you come across it on your journey, let me know, I’d love to watch it again.

            I found this which i am currently still watching that shows some things Secret NASA Transmission. Over an hour long.

            I found another video that mentions David Sereda doing a detailed explanation of the footage like you describe… But it was taken down. AND HOW ABOUT THAT the Wayback Machine didn’t get it archived 😮‍💨

              it looks like there’s a secret NASA transmissions 2!

              okay, now I know what they are, I’m going to try and find some high quality versions of these docs.

              agh, I’m busy right now but I’m going to get on this as soon as I have a free minute.

              oh MAN i think that’s it!

              I can’t watch it in full right now, but I tracked through it quickly and the guy that starts talking and being interviewed by a second person who’s not the regular narrator at about 23 minutes sounds like the guy that I remember.

              his methods sound similar to what i remember and definitely some of the footage, like the spherical space objects passing behind the space tether experiment or behind the space shuttles around 28 minutes as evidence that they aren’t just video artifacts passing along the camera frame just grabbed me again.

              thank you so much for finding this! his research methods are extremely fundamental and scientific and he’s only looking at evidence, and is very careful to preserve and show that evidence, not even talking about ships or aliens or anything, he’s just trying to show that there is something there in space that isn’t explained away by video artifacts or blurry footage, because some of the NASA footage is incredibly clear and he has dozens of tapes.

              great find! i’m going to watch this again in full and then try and find out what he’s up to these days.

              maybe the most stunning short video I’ve ever seen(that was absolutely taken down, the thread was removed, I’ve never seen it again) is a clear, stationary video of a triangle craft coasting slowly down a suburban street or city block and at one point It’s so low and so tilted that the street lamps from where the guy is taking the video obscure the front of one wing of the craft, and behind it, the mountains and the neighborhood behind the craft are being obscured as well.

              I shared that with like everybody when I found it just as a “find the error here or the obvious hoax here” and none of us could and then a day later it was gone and I’ve never been able to find it again and through serious accidental misfortune, our hard drives both physically broke through stupid everyday accidents within like a week of each other and we lost the video.

              I found similar videos, but not as clear or as seemingly genuine as the triangle craft video was, although we didn’t have the time to examine it we would have liked, so if you come across that one I’d be crazy interested to see it again.

              Anyway, thanks so much for coming back with that documentary!

              I will be watching it on that sometime today.

              you should check it out, that guy, the video editor at around 23 minutes or whatever has some amazing things to point out with photos on video evidence from what I remember, and I spotted a great example of the space circle passing behind the NASA ship at minute 28.

              woo!

              rabbit hole, let me back in!

                The triangle craft part sounded vaguely familiar until you said it was on Earth. 🤔

                Awhile back i heard of something called The Dark Knight Satellite but i think that was passed off as some sort of space debris that was locked within our gravitational pull. I’ll keep digging around, but a lot of UFO stuff is very limited like you said because the government likes things taken down if it seems real.

                  nice. If that’s the same document I’m thinking of, then. I think I’ve actually read the whole document before haha.

                  yea, thats it.

                  I read about everything I could, triangle craft related, after I saw that video.

                  If you check out the 2001 national press conference, the French minister of defense talks about a UFO they tracked that rose up on an axis of about 30° or so and then accelerated without inertial dampening, which is exactly what David fravor and all the pilots who saw the tic tac say about the craft acceleration. bob lazar says the same thing, but boy adding that guy to the equation doesn’t help anything.

                    I also found this Reddit thread with what appears to be a photo of a white triangular craft 🤔

                    I did hear about the TicTac/Pill shaped UFO which is what led to the above Reddit thread.

                    Interesting stuff
