Lol yeah but see that's all that exists. But if there are any videos that come off as plausible I'd like to see them.
I saw a short this morning of a cat freaking out about something but the owner never shows what "it" is. The cat stared down the hall, growled, ran down the hall and all we saw after it ran was it was looking around a dresser at something. The something was never shown.
I think cat stupidity exists as well as cat dementia. But yeah, in real life seeing that weird cat freak out would bug me.
The only ones that host authentic paranormal footage are kind of ghost towns.
do you want to post stuff? lots of people use YouTube.
do you want to browse through videos?
how are you defining "good"?
I want to watch videos. Everything on YouTube is fake. They never show what's happening until it's too late, they run from things and then go back to investigate and say "nothing's here wtf??"
And a lot of it is reposted tiktoks and the acting is unbearable. The "reality tv shows" are just as bad and sometimes explore the same old houses or abandoned buildings.
But if you read comments there's sooooooooo many stories of actual encounters, some say they have video or photo proof but never post... But sites like LiveLeak have no problem showing us the inside of another human being.
i see.
it's a lot easier to find graphic real life horror because human violence is very common, verifiable, and happens everyday.
you aren't going to find verifiable paranormal videos of aliens or bigfoot anywhere online because there's no verifiable evidence of aliens or bigfoot, ghosts or other paranormal experiences.
there are good books, movies, podcasts or sites that investigate paranormal events, but there isn't a trove of "real" paranormal videos somewhere simply because there isn't enough evidence at this point for a lot of paranormal events like chupacabra encounters or alien abductions.
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!

if it were (verifiably) on video, it wouldn't be paranormal, it would be science.
if you want paranormal content that may not be genuine i can recommend the horror section on netflix?
I'm pretty sure that's just a genre of video you can find on any video site.
🤔 yes but that's not the same.
That's like me asking for beheading videos and then saying "go look up Saw movies". It's not the same.
actual paranormal stuff
I hate to break it to you...
