Help find story behind photo? (David Eckhart Videos)

[pickinduck]

They just briefly showed this photo on the UFO Files (I think) and maybe another UFO show. They said some guy thought he was being visited or abducted at night so he set up a camera and this is what he caught. Can you find out anything more about this?

Perhaps, I'll have to do it later, though. I have an appointment this morning. I'll be back on later today, though, to take a crack at it.

Thank you for bumping this thread. I've put in my best keywords, but it may take awhile to find anything on the picture.


Meanwhile, I've found this. Just had to share.

lol love it.

[sherlew99]

Well, I haven't found it yet. Think I'll take a break and re-think my keywords.

[sherlew99]

I'm not getting anywhere with this, sorry. Sure you can't remember anything more?

[pickinduck]

It might be from Florida?

[pickinduck]

Just found this. The photo was from a video.

Hmmm, I'll have a quick look around for more facts but here is what I think after just after watching that short video (Note, I'm not trying to be a skeptic per se but as always think we need a grasp of the facts here):

* The 'Alien' is very far in the background and hard to see.

* The video does not seem to record at a high speed or at least this clip is slowed down. If the original is like this also, it raises new questions, both pro and con.

* Why does the lighting change at the end of the video, right before the caps are shown?

* Speaking of lighting, this room is very dark and the figure appears right in front of a light source, making it harder to make out/see.

* Where is the rest of the video, especially the bit immediately after....

PD, can you recall anything else?

You said Florida? Can you recall a name or what the other TV show it was featured on?

Great stuff, by the way, great thread, this one looks like it is a case of mistaken identity or a hoax but who knows? alieno

Middle age Florida couple plagued by abductions and home intrusions by ufo alien creatures capture one such invasion on video. Images taken from original video. What do you think? Another hoax or the real deal?

This controversial film is of an alien that was caught late last year on film by a Florida Couple. The video seems to resemble a small skinny alien near the door to the bedroom. The couple claims they apparently had been plagued by a series of alien abductions in the past so had decided if it happened again to get it on film..

From looking at the film if it is a real alien, It appears to be watching the couple sleeping intently.. Quite a spooky video to wake up to if you ask me..

Alien Caught on Tape in Florida House?

Yay another shitty video! This time we go to Florida were a couple claims they captured an alien peeking into there bedroom on video. They said they had been having these weird feelings that something had been watching them while they slept, so they decided to set up a camera in there bedroom and sure enough they capture something peeking into the bedroom from their bathroom. Not much is know about this video and there was no real news report ever done on it. So what you see is all anyone really knows.

The video’s quality is shit and you can’t really see what the fuck this thing is. That’s why I call bullshit on this video and say it’s a fake. It could be a puppet or even one of there kids in a costume.

Last one was funny and kind of says what could indeed be the truth abut the vid in a vulgar (and amusing) way, but it is this link that has the dirt as they say and should lead to a better google search...

Alien Intruder

Ben, Chi-Lan and Devin, meanwhile, have been speaking with a Florida man, David Eckhart, and his wife, Jean, about their frequent experiences with unknowable forces. The couple say they've been visited by aliens for years, citing loss of time and mass migrations of worms in their driveway. They have two videos to back up their claims, and Ben and his team intend to discover their authenticity.

To recreate the first video, where an alien appears to be peeking around a doorway into the Eckharts' bedroom, Devin rigs a simple artist's mannequin to some plexiglass. The result is spot on, but they still want to dig deeper. Can they recreate the moving image of a being floating above the bed? They try to do so by arranging a coat on a coat rack and shining various lights to create shadowplay that mimics a levitating alien. The shape is right but the movement is wrong, so they try again with a puppet suspended by wire. They're able to get the look they were going for, but David is such a credible witness that they wonder why on Earth he would create a hoax. They decide it must be because he's tired of people not believing him when he tells the truth, so the team sets up a nighttime stakeout to see what entities could be plaguing the Florida family.

Devin situates himself in a tree to keep an eye on the roof while Chi-Lan sets up in a closet guarded by a two way mirror. When Chi-Lan's reception cuts out, Devin hops down to investigate, and finds masses of worms escaping from the ground. They decide that, while the videos may have been fabricated, some force is definitely at work on this home that would drive the Eckharts to reach out the way they did.

Full episode link there by the way but this one definitely puts some more info for out there for research.

Like that they did some testing, seems that the recreations really came close to recreating the videos but they went on Eckhart's word. I never met the man of course but although I have no reason to doubt his story the video's quality in itself and the fact that the vids could be remade with SFX makes me wonder.

As for the worms, that is weird but two things about that.

One, a TV show needs suspense and I could not hold my hand over my heart and say that a TV reality series never bent the rules a bit, and two, I'm sure there are other reasons there could be worms out like that...reasons I'm not attempting to look up (anybody else want a go at that one?) at this time.

This is the other video I believe, of the alien floating over the bed:


This was in the vid description on YT:

Uploaded on Oct 20, 2009

Close encounter of the 4th kind in Florida residence. Fantastic audio captured in video. Refer to case at www.phantomsandmonsters.com NOTE: this is part of a 7 year ordeal by this family. A few days after this recording, the family members were abducted and taken to several locations. These abductions occurred off and on for the 7 year period. Other evidence is forthcoming. There is a discussion on this case at ...

NOTE: I realize that some people that view the video need to be 'spoon fed'. Yes, the witness (David) and his wife are in bed in the video. Yes, David does have a spotlight and in later clips a laser penlight. There is an explanation for this on the ongoing thread (link above). David does answer some questions there. I realize that filming the reflection of an 180 degree surveillance mirror is somewhat crude but David wanted to view the entire bedroom, as well, there is another reason for this (to be explained later) The strobe light was needed for various reasons also. I acknowledge the information is vague...but as we investigate the evidence, all of this will be covered. Thanks.

Hard to find the article at that site in a quick manner, and the forum link did not work for me.

Small Alien Caught on Camera -Skinny Dark Greyish Figure Near the Door

A Florida couple plagued by multiple abductions hooked up a camera in their room to capture the abductors next time they tried. As you can see there is a very small and skinny dark greyish figure near the door, the light dims.

Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files revolutionizes paranormal programming by investigating the evidence witnesses post on the Internet every day. Have you ever seen a photo or video online and wondered, "Is this real?" This is the show that will answer that question.

Heading up the Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files team is Ben Hansen, a former FBI agent with a life-long fascination with the paranormal.

Now, having left the agency, he leads a young team of intrepid investigators who will convene to dissect the latest unusual images and decide whether they merit further investigation. Grainy videos will be brought to life as the team conducts thorough and elaborate experiments in an attempt to recreate the phenomena, and Ben will make the final choice which cases will require a trip into the field.

THIS VIDEO BY DAVID ECKHART IS CONSIDERED TO BE A HOAX.

IT IS BELIEVED THAT THIS INDIVIDUAL USES CAMERA TRICKERY SUCH AS LIGHTING WITHIN THEIR VIDEOS TO STAGE FAKE EVIDENCE. THIS INDIVIDUAL DOES NOT APPEAR TO USE ANY FORM OF CGI.

THIS PARTICULAR FOOTAGE IS BELIEVED TO BE A SMALL CHILD.

USING LIGHTS TO FLOOD THE SCENE IN THE BACKGROUND IT GIVES THE IMPRESSION AS THOUGH THE CHILD IS THINNER. AS THE CHILD COMES CLOSER IN VIEW TO THE CAMERA YOU CAN SEE THE FIGURE STARTS TO "BULK-UP".

DAVID ECKHART'S "EVIDENCE" APPEARS TO BE ALL FRAUDULENT REGARDING ALL VIDEOS/PHOTOS/AUDIO. THIS INDIVIDUAL APPEARS TO BE CREATING FALSE EVIDENCE FOR THE PURPOSE OF FINANCIAL GAINS. NO FURTHER STUDY IS NECESSARY REGARDING ANY CONTENT FROM THIS INDIVIDUAL.

I suppose there is prob some more to find out, but honestly this looks like a hoax to me, esp the floating over the bed vid with all the lights and it being filmed via a curved mirror with a strobe light going off.

Then a former FBI agent debunked it as well...

Like all of these cases I wish one could be true but I call BS. ;;'ufo

[sherlew99]

Wow, thanks Tom.

[pickinduck]

The second video looks to me like it was shot through one of those bubble mirrors like they use for seeing around corners. Does it look like that to anyone else?

[sherlew99]

Yes, it looks like they're using a fisheye lens.
