Chris Watts killed his 4-month pregnant wife Shanann Watts in the early hours of Aug.13 in 2018. This real-life event is now one of the most-viewed documentary show on Netflix called "American Murder: The Family Next Door."

As the days progressed, viewers discover creepy moments in the documentary show. The real-life documentary show tells viewers how Chris Watts killed his pregnant wife as well as his three-year-old and two-year-old daughters, Bella and Celeste.

Many viewers believed that Shanann sent a clue to the police about her death.

Did Shannan Watts send a message beyond the grave?

The video is now widely shared on different social media sites. It is a part of the documentary when Watts asked his neighbor to show their CCTV footage the day that the police arrived in his home.

This was also during the time when Shannan was suspected missing by her friend. When his neighbor turned off the CCTV, a foetus and a skull appeared on the television monitor.

This part of the documentary show caught the attention of the viewers and they believed that it is a message that Shanann Watts sent from the grave to shed light about their deaths.

It can be remembered that Chris Watts buried Shanann's body in a shallow grave while he dumped the bodies of his daughters into an oil tank at the oil and gas exploration site where he worked.

Later, their bodies were found after he confessed. Shanann was found in a fetal position while his daughters were found in the crude oil sludge.

Following this, many viewers now believed that this part of the video has a connection to Shanann's death. The caption reads:

"Chris Watts stood next to the TV in his neighbors home while the police watched the CCTV footage. As they chatted a foetus, then a skull floating in oil appeared on the screen. His wife Shanann was four months pregnant and he put his two daughters in oil tanks."

Other Facebook users also agreed that the clip of the CCTV footage had been a message from Shanann. She might be seeking justice not only for herself but also for her unborn son and two daughters.

Paranormal experts weigh in

Meanwhile, another netizen wrote that he never noticed that part of the video but one thing is just for sure, it was truly disturbing. In support of this, a paranormal expert believes that what the viewers have seen and speculated is true.

Barry Depp, who has been running Paranormal Experts for two years, told the Daily Star Online: "We do think spirits come and send messages in all sorts of ways, including through TVs, so it certainly is possible."

He also said that one of his members named Jane sensed that someone was in the room with them when the fetus and skull appeared on the screen. His group is composed of paranormal investigators and psychic mediums.
