30 Times Security Cameras Captured Pure Nightmare Fuel

I got a security camera to keep tabs on my sick cat. The first day I swear every time I connected she turned and stared directly at the camera.

I was home alone one day blasting music in my room. My dog was sitting on my staircase where she could see the front door, and my room is right at the top of the stairs. When the song ended, I heard my front door open (we have an alarm system and when a door or window opens, it goes beep beep) and then I heard my dog growling like I’ve never heard before. My gut knew it wasn’t a family member, my dad was out of town and my mom and sister were gone. I texted my mom saying “where are you?” And she said she was at the store.

I called the police and hid in my closet. I live in a safe area and they took 20 MINUTES to come to my house. The operator stayed on the phone with me and told me to stay quiet. When the police and my mom finally got back home, we checked the security cameras. The footage glitched right when the person came into the front door, so all we could see was a tall black silhouette (the light was shining in from behind him). Never found out who it was but they must have left when they either saw my dog or heard that someone was home.

Not a home camera, but one at work. We had some issues with stuff being stolen out of offices overnight so we set up a camera that recorded to a network share. We placed the camera so that you could really only see the top half of the room, from the desks up, because we were mainly concerned about the change and usb keys that had gone missing. For a couple of weeks there was nothing but the cleaning crew coming in real early or the occasional guard doing routine checks. One day we checked the video from my officemate's computer and saw a guard sit down at my officemate's desk and pick up his deskphone and have a half hour conversation. There was no audio on the video so we skipped through a bunch of the video but the guy was just chilling, talking, laughing, then he seemed to lean forward and get serious in conversation. Then he hung up the phone, stood up, and **pulled up his pants.** We all gasped and wtf'd and then there was a moment of silence before we realized what had happened. My officemate, who was sitting at his desk while we watched the video, and realizing he was sitting in the chair some random guy had just j**ked off in, immediately stood up and threw his chair into the hallway.

I used to have security cameras on her front porch I was growing up. I grew up in a farming town where everyone knew each other so when something happened they could always identify straight away if they were from our town or not. I used to check the cameras when i was bored and I usually checked what happened around 2-3am I had never found anything weird but this one time a black van with no lights pulled up our driveway (visible from the porch camera). A man jumped up and slowly creeped to our front door, he reached for the door handle and then saw the camera. What happened next was the weird part. He promptly took his hand away from the door handle and started staring and smiling at the camera, he then walks up to it and **LICKS** the camera. He then spins around on one heel, walks back to the van and drives VERY slowly out of the driveway. I told my parents and they contacted the police, who couldn't find anything else about him. We never saw or heard anything about him again.

Saw a woman talking to herself stealing my trash. I was so confused the week I moved in because everyday I threw trash away my can was empty and I kept convincing myself I was just losing it. Finally got my cameras up and realized what was happening. Turns out the lady went to every can up and down multiple streets every night taking and throwing away trash, found out she had some mental health issues and lived around the corner. Moved the cans to the backyard instead of the side of the house after all that.

I woke up one morning and my front door was wide open. Scared the s**t out of me but couldn't figure it out as nothing was missing.
Went back and looked at my camera and it turns out at around 4am the door just swings open for no reason. Never figured out why.

Screen on the security tablet next to my bed lit up rather bright for about 3 to 5 seconds, I ignored it and went back to sleep. The next day i went through the footage and could clearly see a face looking through window on my front door.

This happened several times over the 2 years I lived at that rental property.

My family had one installed 2 months ago in front of our garage. One night, we got an alert and after watching over the tape, we saw a man doing cartwheels back and forth across our driveway. Very cool.

My friend showed me footage that her home security camera got of a c*ked out neighbour running into her door and shattering the glass with his head. The weird part was that he didn't get hurt, smashed the glass but came out without any damages to the head.

When he approached her door he stopped for a moment and then charged like a bull.

My mom woke up to a notification on her phone that someone was at the door. Checked out what it was and some creepy man (who we'd never seen in the neighborhood before) was licking and sucking on the doorknob. Weirdest stuff Ive ever seen LOL.
