Paranormal Caught on Camera: This is not a great show. Last week they showed footage of what was clearly a mylar balloon floating down a street and they suggested it could be an alien. But I’m including it this week because apparently, they’re going to cover a clown statue that “terrorizes guests at the Clown Motel in Tonopah, Utah.” A couple of things about that: Tonopah is in Nevada, not Utah; and I know that because I’ve been to the Clown Motel and met said clown statue. 8 p.m., Travel Channel
