OTHER CASES: Video of a ghostly figure entering and exiting someone's body. Also a close encounter of the 3rd kind video around a forest camp fire in France is scrutinised. PART 1 OVERVIEW: Reptile Rampage (Bishopville, SC): The team investigate an purported urban legend in Bishopville, South Carolina of a 7 foot, red eyed, 3 toed lizard man that supposedly attacks cars in the area. The evidence the team follows is a series of photo's that are claimed to be the aftermath of these attacks. The photos show what looks like large bite marks, scratches and puncture holes in various places around the cars. PART 2 OVERVIEW: Gasoline Ghoul (Parma, OH): The team visit a gas station in Ohio where on 2007 some footage was shot from a security camera of what looks like a ghostly apparition. The figure is visible on camera for around 30 minutes during which customers are using the gas station oblivious to what we see beside them. OTHER VIDEOS: Shown & discussed by the team are as follows: Speakeasy Specter (Melrose Park, IL) Video of what looks to be a ghostly figure entering and exiting someone's body, the person looks oblivious to what is happening on film. Shot by paranormal researchers whilst investigating a speakeasy with a reported haunted history in Chicago's suburbs that was once run by one of Al Capone's drivers. However Austin points out that it's likely an anomaly caused by a camera set on auto exposure. Forest Fire Alien (Cuy, France) Video shot in 2008 by friends around a camp fire in a forest which is supposed to show an alien peeking from around a tree. Although Jael quickly dismissed this as a computer generated hoax after seeing a clearly defined line going up the side of the tree with the alien. A tell tale sign that video editing was used to add something into the frame.
