1.The Enfield Poltergeist
One of the most famous paranormal events caught on camera was the Enfield Poltergeist.

The family called in investigators, who set up cameras in the house to document the events. The footage that was captured is truly chilling, with chairs moving on their own and disembodied voices heard throughout the home. While some have claimed that the events were a hoax, many still believe that something truly paranormal was occurring in that house.
2.The Dyatlov Pass Incident

The hikers’ tent had been ripped open from the inside, and the group’s belongings were scattered throughout the area. The hikers themselves were found scattered around the campsite, with some having suffered horrific injuries. What makes the incident even more unsettling is that the hikers’ cameras were still functioning, and the photos that were recovered showed strange, unexplained lights in the sky.
3. The Hinterkaifeck Murders
The Hinterkaifeck Murders is a case that remains unsolved to this day. In 1922, a family of six was brutally murdered on their farm in Germany.

A few days after the murders, a neighbor went to check on the family and discovered the bodies. While there were no cameras at the time of the murders, there was a strange set of footsteps leading to and from the farm, leading some to believe that the killer may have been a ghost.
4. The Elisa Lam Case
The Elisa Lam case is one of the most mysterious cases in recent history. In 2013, a Canadian student was found dead in a water tank on the roof of the Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles.

To this day, no one knows for sure what happened to Elisa Lam, but her strange behavior caught on camera has led to countless theories and speculation.

The incident was caught on camera by a security camera in the school, and the footage is truly chilling.

While the victim survived, the incident raised questions about the impact of online culture and the blurred lines between reality and fantasy.
8. The Ouija Board Possession
Ouija boards have long been associated with the paranormal, and many people believe that they can be used to communicate with the dead.

While some have claimed that the incident was a hoax, others believe that it is evidence of the dangers of playing with the supernatural.
9. The Haunted Hotel Room
There are countless stories of haunted hotel rooms, but one incident, in particular, stands out. In 2003, a couple staying at the Heathrow Hotel in London claimed to have captured footage of a ghostly figure on their camera. The footage shows a misty figure moving around the room, seemingly unaware of the couple’s presence. The incident has been covered extensively by the media, and the footage has been analyzed by paranormal investigators. While some believe that the footage is evidence of a genuine haunting, others claim that it is simply a case of pareidolia, where the brain perceives patterns in random data.
10.The Ghostly Child
One of the most unsettling things caught on camera is the footage of a ghostly child in a park in Mexico City. The footage, which was captured by a surveillance camera in the park, shows a small child walking around the playground in the early hours of the morning.

The incident has been covered extensively by the media, and many people believe that it is evidence of a ghostly apparition.

Regardless of its authenticity, the footage is truly unsettling and has become a popular topic of discussion in the paranormal community.
12. The Brown Lady of Raynham Hall
In 1936, two photographers visiting Raynham Hall in England claimed to have captured the image of a ghostly woman on their camera.

The image has been analyzed extensively, and while some believe that it is evidence of genuine haunting, others claim that it is simply a case of double exposure. Regardless of its authenticity, the image of the Brown Lady remains one of the most iconic ghost photographs in history.
13. The Shadow People
For centuries, people have reported seeing shadowy figures lurking in the corners of their vision. These entities, known as shadow people, are said to be malevolent spirits that feed off of negative energy.
