You Know I Never Never Seen You Look So Good
Whether information technology'south a business or a home, surveillance cameras are key in identifying unwanted situations on a property. While footage might evidence a frightening intruder, sometimes the cameras finish up recording some seriously bizarre situations. These Redditors describe some of the craziest things they've seen on surveillance cameras. From surprising animals to property destruction, the footage is pretty unforgettable — and crazy.
This Wasn't Simba
I had a game camera out once and I had a neighbor who would just walk through my holding. I didn't intendance; the identify is pretty and there's no back fence. Simply I kept having sheep go missing, so I set out a camera.
The camera caught my neighbor walking by. Then, similar 30 seconds after, a mountain king of beasts walked by, stalking him. Information technology apparently never attacked as he was fine, merely he had no idea how close he was to that thing.

I used to work overnights at a hotel and would monitor the security cameras. They would detect motion, and a lilliputian indicator would blink when movement was detected. Anyway, it e'er gave me the creeps when I'd hear the elevator ding. I'd run out to the lobby to greet the guest to make sure they didn't need something, and nobody would become off the elevator. I'd lookout man the tapes and see the motion indicator blinking on a floor, and so see the elevator open on that floor. Then I'd come across the lift open on the ground flooring and the motion indicator blink on the camera downwards the hall. It gave me the heebie-jeebies.

Stranger in the Business firm
I was house-sitting in a huge place and set up a security camera near the bedroom. I had an uneasy feeling someone else was in the business firm with me, so I set up the camera just to brand sure no one came virtually my room. In the middle of the night, someone approached the camera from behind and turned information technology so information technology faced a blank wall. Then a few minutes later they turned it back the way it was before. It tripped the security settings and I got a notification on my telephone. I saw information technology and searched the house thoroughly the next morning time but never found anything. Needless to say, I slept with my door locked the rest of my time at that place.

On the Loose
I worked in a maximum-security prison house for a while. I was assigned to central control one dark, which is where the camera screens were.
I of the cameras was for the classifications room. I glanced at it and at that place was an inmate in there. This was super odd considering it was 2 a.m. and nobody was supposed to exist in there. Everyone who had keys to that room went home at 5.
So, this inmate is only sitting in there doing nada. I got the sergeant's attention, told him someone was in there and gave him the spare primal to the room. He went to get check information technology out with a couple of other people, only by the time they got there, the room was empty. They searched for like xv minutes but there was definitely no 1 in there.

Taken for a Ride
I used to take an flat pretty shut to my office. The role building was kind of in a business district, but information technology was too kind of off on its own relative to the city'due south commercial district "footprint."
I sold the apartment and, earlier moving into my new home, I left my bicycle chained to the edifice'south bike rack. It was but going to be there for a few days in that no human being's land before I was able to move into the new place.
Anyway, one 24-hour interval in the middle of the calendar week, I come into the office, walk past the bike rack and notice that it'due south completely empty. The building has a agglomeration of security cameras and one more or less is facing the bike rack since it's adjacent to the front entryway. I sit down and watch the security tape with the IT guy. Nosotros're watching. We run across everyone get out the office the night earlier and see the bike. We keep watching, and suddenly, poof — the bicycle is gone. In the tape'south timestamp it literally happened in one second. I presume my bike got taken to the Upside Down.

A Ghost Probably Did It
I used to work security at a college dorm, and I once witnessed 1 of the doors on a washing machine slowly open up itself and proceed to tear itself make clean off of the machine. I told my boss this creepy story and showed him the video. He made me review photographic camera footage for the remainder of the nighttime to find out who broke the machine, despite the fact that he watched it break itself.

Survival of the Fittest
I used to manage a retail swimming pool store, and nosotros had a nice koi pond in the side k. I chiefly cared for information technology, feeding the fish and cleaning out the leaves/filter. I named all the fish and grew to care almost them.
Then one 24-hour interval I was walking through the side yard to get to the back office when I noticed there were no fish in the swimming. It's non a large pond, perhaps a human foot or so at its deepest and vii feet long. Information technology'south not similar they were all hiding! At kickoff I thought someone hopped the fence at night and stole the fish — koi are expensive, after all. I reviewed the security footage from the nighttime before to attempt and take hold of the cretin who did this. And at 6 a.grand., I caught him.
A giant heron with a 6-human foot wingspan came down and helped himself to some fish for breakfast. Luckily ane of the fish survived. He later on came out of some hidey pigsty in the wall. He was named Subway because he was about a foot long. We bought more fish to proceed him company and I made a rock cove covering over half the pond and then they could flee in case the heron came back.

What Did the Barrier Do to Her?
I used to work as infirmary security, and we had video cameras accessible in the part. In one case we were eating lunch, watching the cams in the parkade. There was a barrier that went downward to cake the exit until y'all paid. Some lady in a minivan pulled upwardly actually slowly to the arm, stopped and then put the pedal to the metal. She blasted through the arm blockade, snapping information technology into smithereens. She then stopped on the other side for a good 30 seconds before casually driving off. Considering she did information technology so casually, we presume it was intentional.

A Called-for Issue
I worked IT for a cord of retail stores. I was asked to back upwardly the information from an incident. It was a disheveled-looking man who came into the store just before midnight. He had crazy hair. He went right to the lighter display and started selecting lighters and placing them directly to his ear. To hear the hissing of the butane? I don't know. Just on the fifth lighter or and so, he hit the flint. The lighter fired up, and his crazy hair burst into flames. He swatted at his hair with great speed. The flames went out, but his hair was…singed. Badly.
I had a proficient laugh, backed up the information to a USB stick and handed it to the staff. No idea how it all played out.

Cops Took Out the Real Trash
This was on my domicile surveillance system. There was a home invasion robbery near me, then subsequently the cops came (and arrested the perps) I checked for surveillance footage.
In that location's me, taking out the trash. Less than 10 feet from me, the two cars (a full of six criminals) made a U-turn in front of my house before committing the crime.
And so the criminals literally drove past me and then collection up the street to do a robbery. They broke in the back door of a business firm where two teenagers were home alone. The kids hid and called the cops. Nobody got hurt, and the cops arrested all the crooks.

Seize the Twenty-four hours
I help run tech support for a regional convenience store chain. About two months ago, we had a crazy occurrence of three people having seizures in our stores (3 different stores) in the same 24-hour interval. Here'due south the kicker: They all happened within a range of 10 minutes. I take access to each shop's tapes and watched the first happen, and then two minutes later saw the seizure at another store. Then seven minutes later on I saw it happen at a third store.

Orb to be Wild
I was installing CCTV in a retirement residence flat and didn't have a hard drive to save the recording. I ready four cameras with the monitor in the sleeping accommodation. The other tech and I were in the bedroom looking at the screen, and we noticed a glowing orb on the living room camera going around the room and heading towards the hallway.
We checked the hallway camera and the orb moved to that screen and went down the hall towards the door of the room we were standing in. We both, without saying anything, merely turned and stared at the door, but nothing appeared. I've worked with CCTV for many years and never saw whatever orbs like that earlier or e'er again.

Nothing Like a Challenge
I piece of work nights at a hotel, and in that location's this kind of odd family living on the floor in a higher place me. I picket the cameras so I tin can sit and chill. Adequately oft in the center of the dark, an older lady who lives at that place comes out and runs backwards to the exit, I presume for a fume. It's nothing terribly abnormal for a night-owl family, I guess, but she RUNS and runs BACKWARDS every time she comes out. Really odd.

Gone to the Dogs
I have cameras upwards effectually the front end of my business firm considering we had our auto broken into iii times one yr before the police close down the gang doing it.
Ane Christmas Eve, we're almost 45 minutes from the house. My neighbor calls and tells me that my two Rottweilers are sitting on my porch and won't permit anyone arroyo them. I race home and find the gate open. I immediately put them back in the thou and get get a lock for the fence. The whole fourth dimension this is going on, my wife is telling me that the dogs probably pushed the gate open, which is a reasonable assumption.
So it's really bugging me because I've never had a lock on my fences and neither dog had tried to escape in 3 years. I review the tape, and these two guys become to the side gate and attempt to steal my dogs! The male is hands 85 pounds and the female is 65 pounds. The video was hilarious because these ii guys were running for their lives to an SUV parked two houses down with both dogs all over them. Then afterward they left, the dogs went to the porch to lie downward to look.

A Wild Turn of Events
I used to be the barback at a pizza identify/brewery, and on nearly nights that included billowy duties to kick out unruly people. The identify was right by the beach so nosotros had a lot of people who were homeless come through. Ane night an older human came in with a bamboo staff and was waving it around like he was going to hit someone. I had to catch the guy and take his staff and drag him outside.
He wouldn't leave, and then we called the police force and I had to await there for the cops to show up. Once they got in that location, I told them what happened and went back inside to take my break. I was in the part watching the police talk to the guy on the outside cameras when all of a sudden a Lotus pulled upwardly behind the cop car. A guy in a accommodate got out and talked to the cop as he uncuffed the man. The man got in the Lotus with the guy in the suit and they drove off. It was pretty weird.

A Sneaky Deal
I used to work surveillance for a casino. I've seen people smoke and proceed to clean their cars for an hr or more at similar iv a.m. The funniest thing I've seen is someone literally selling the stock stereo out of his truck (information technology wasn't stolen; he was a regular and always drove the truck).
Anyway, they practise the deal and the guy comes to merchandise the coin for I think singles or something. The money is counterfeit. We had a good laugh at that one for a while. Likewise, be careful with your phones; our cameras could see everything people texted if we thought someone was sketchy or we were just bored.

Upward Against the Wall
I work in a retail store, and for a while, I worked security there. Watching the security cameras wasn't technically my job, but we were consistently short-staffed in that department and the manager was preparation me for promotion. And so, I got to fill in and lookout the cameras occasionally.
1 mean solar day when nosotros were reviewing footage from overnights, we saw this teenager calmly fix downwards his shopping basket, take off his lid and glasses and only charge at a wall. He hitting it caput-on. He did this 2 more times. When he was done, his face was a mess, and he put his hat and glasses back on and merely left.

That Was a Present, Dude
I used to work It at a university, and terminal Easter we had a break-in. Nosotros found the footage of the guy going in at 2 p.m., leaving at around iii and not really taking anything. Fast frontwards to seven p.m. The guy comes back in and is walking effectually the auditorium until 6 a.yard. the next morning. In that time he proceeded to strip into his underwear, steal and wear a mask the Japanese exchange students made for the instructor then steal six full bags of random items.

An Almost Tragic Fall
I worked at a hydropower institute in NC. The summit was a walkway with a thirty-foot drop off the back. A drunk group of guys is playing around on the edge. We see them on the cams, then we call the authorities. In the meantime, ane of them falls.
The thing is, the water on the back side is being pulled into the dam. He falls into the penstock. We think he's dead afterward the 30-foot fall, getting sucked underwater, going through the muzzle and coming out. We become out to find the body, and we discover him, cough and bruised.

Peekaboo!
I used to piece of work from 7 p.m. to vii a.one thousand. At around 3 or four a.m., I would start seeing things due to isolation and lack of sleep. There were many times I jumped to the cameras to see if what I was seeing was real or non. I often idea I saw people watching me and jumping off the parking garage next door.
But it was never real, so I stopped worrying about it — until one dark I saw someone watching me and idea nothing of it. That was until I went to do a patrol and it turned out the person was real and had been staring at me for 20 minutes. At that bespeak, I just ran back inside and decided I was washed with my patrols for the night.

Let the Canteen Hit the Floor
I worked every bit a valet dorsum in the day at a very high-finish hotel and had some friends who worked in other areas of the hotel as bartenders, servers and security. After busy Friday and Saturday nights, we all get called in similar all easily on deck — every fellow member of the staff. The hotel manager is fuming. They had set out a bottle of wine that cost something like $25,000. When they came in Sun morn in preparation for a very important guest, the vino canteen was smashed on the floor. Everyone denied doing anything, so information technology merely kind of went away without anyone hearing about what happened.
A few days afterward, my buddy in security showed me the bar footage. I can clearly see the director place the bottle on the bar and then go out and close up. Then I run into the canteen is slightly moved, almost like a true cat knocking a pen off the tabular array. So, bam! The bottle hits the footing and shatters. There are what await like footprints without shoes going back and forth. There were tons of diverse stories nearly the identify being haunted, but that was the first video evidence I'd seen.

Making Sheep's Eyes at You lot
I worked in a 24/7 filling station outside of a large town in Republic of ireland. The surface area is pretty rural and is really dark at night. The forecourt has a movement-activated buzzer that lets night crew within know there'due south move exterior. The buzzer went off 1 time during my shift, so I looked outside simply couldn't see anyone…
…just a heavily pregnant ewe staring back at me, I went to phone my dad for him to come up to encounter if he knew who information technology belonged to. As I dialed his number, the ewe turned around. At that place were 2 niggling legs sticking out; it was giving birth right and then and there.

As Yous Wish
I worked at a hobby carte shop nigh 12 years ago. I get to work one morning and the police are already in that location. We'd had a break-in and had some stuff stolen. Our Information technology guy gets in and pulls up the video from the nighttime before. Nosotros see a person's shadow walk in forepart of the door a few times, and and so eventually the thief throws an object through the drinking glass, smashing it. He runs in, hops the counter, throws some Yu-Gi-Oh! booster boxes into a trash pocketbook and runs back out.
We rewind and freeze the picture to go a good look at the intruder. We then realize the thief is wearing a Boba Fett helmet. We all exclaim, "It's Boba Fett!" and start laughing hysterically just as one of the officers walks up. She says, "Oh, so you know the guy?" We and then proceed to lose information technology even more than. Needless to say, Orlando'south Finest never caught up to Boba Fett.

Going Out With a Blindside
I was a cop in the Air Strength. One night while working the operations middle, I notice information technology looks similar one of the gates to our airfield, shared with a major business concern and local drome, is on the ground.
I radio my patrols to get cheque information technology out and all I hear is, "Uh, control?" I say, "The gate is on the footing isn't it?" I gear up a makeshift checkpoint with my people and call the aerodrome and local police.
After they get in I review the footage and come across this car stop at our gate, dorsum up maybe half a mile, break for a few minutes and and then flooring it. He turns toward our part of the airfield and either sees our large cargo planes or the 2 cops not paying attention on the flying line. He turns around. (Both of these officers got in trouble later for not seeing this.)
He and so floors information technology towards oncoming air traffic and is gone. I notify airdrome police that some guy is out in that location dodging airplanes, and their dispatcher leaves without hanging up the phone bold to aid. They finally take hold of him afterward a short hunt ending in a ditch with ii empty bottles of vodka in the machine. He's killing a third when they pull him out.

Smell a Rat
Information technology was the middle of the dark and I was working alone (watching security cameras) in an African land. Suddenly, a BIG animal jumps off the roof and scuttles away into our courtyard by the forepart door. Terrified and about to call for backup, I pull upwardly the recorded camera footage and replay it until I finally effigy out what it was — a giant rat. I'chiliad not certain how big those things tin go, simply this one looked similar a medium-sized dog.

Scream Your Guts Out
The creepiest I've seen involved our neighbors. The lady had walked into the street at about 2 a.m. She was staring at the storm drain at the curb for about five minutes earlier she pulled a huge knife (it seemed similar it was a foot long) out of her waistband and knelt down with her head in the bleed, screaming. This went on for about 10 minutes. And so she stood in that location and screamed at the ground before going inside.

The Register Isn't That Way, Sir
I found a would-be burglar in the back of a department store where I worked security. Later a pretty scary confrontation, the cops came and I had to pull video and write a study. He had been lurking around the dorsum storage area for a solid 30 minutes before we closed and I found him. It scared me to see team members walking around with him lurking in the shadows, going in and out of aisles in the back. I carried mace and was a total scaredy cat for a solid year or so afterwards.

A Flurry of Papers
I worked the overnight shift as an nugget protection officer for a department store distribution center. When I was hired, people joked about it existence haunted, and some warned me about it.
I was exterior checking in my coworker who worked assisting the truckers, and I was watching their cameras. I watched my office beingness torn autonomously by…no i. Papers being thrown, function chair pushed bated. I saw and heard a lot of weird things during my fourth dimension there, but that scared me the most. And knowing I had to go back inside after my outdoor rounds scared me fifty-fifty more than.

The Old Switcheroo
20-three years ago I was doing a job that involved monitoring some people through a CCTV camera on a bus. It was hidden behind the mirror the driver uses to watch passengers. Well, information technology was odd because a guy was standing at the front end near the yellowish line watching the road with the commuter.
Then I run across information technology. A heart-anile woman in the front has her handbag on her lap with her hands resting on top of it. Seconds later on, the purse kind of flashes away from her hands and is nether the seat. Then it's dorsum to being on her lap. Then information technology'south abroad again underneath her seat. Then it'due south back to being where information technology started on acme of her lap. Information technology was so infuriating that I went on a rampage.

Trick or Treat
I really do watch security cameras for a living — for a high-ascension in a big urban center. Every Halloween, like a dozen of the folks in the company that works in in that location do a big group Halloween costume. One year the theme was presidents. One year it was different characters from the same TV show. And so on this detail Halloween, I'm watching the cameras, non really thinking nigh Halloween. I glance at the elevator cameras to come across an elevator door open up, and a dozen women all dressed like The Grudge ghost enter the elevator at once. It spooked me for a second!
