I Have Seen Him Do It and He Will Do It Again
Whether information technology'south a business or a domicile, surveillance cameras are key in identifying unwanted situations on a property. While footage might show a frightening intruder, sometimes the cameras terminate upwardly recording some seriously baroque situations. These Redditors draw some of the craziest things they've seen on surveillance cameras. From surprising animals to belongings destruction, the footage is pretty unforgettable — and crazy.
This Wasn't Simba
I had a game camera out once and I had a neighbour who would just walk through my property. I didn't care; the place is pretty and there'due south no back fence. But I kept having sheep go missing, so I set out a camera.
The photographic camera caught my neighbor walking past. Then, similar 30 seconds afterward, a mountain lion walked by, stalking him. It plain never attacked as he was fine, but he had no idea how close he was to that thing.

Incorrect Floor, Pal
I used to work overnights at a hotel and would monitor the security cameras. They would discover motility, and a fiddling indicator would blink when motion was detected. Anyway, it ever gave me the creeps when I'd hear the elevator ding. I'd run out to the lobby to greet the guest to brand sure they didn't need something, and nobody would go off the elevator. I'd watch the tapes and see the motion indicator blinking on a floor, then run into the elevator open on that floor. So I'd see the elevator open on the ground floor and the motility indicator blink on the camera down the hall. It gave me the heebie-jeebies.

Stranger in the House
I was business firm-sitting in a huge identify and ready up a security photographic camera almost the bedroom. I had an uneasy feeling someone else was in the house with me, so I prepare up the photographic camera simply to make sure no one came near my room. In the heart of the night, someone approached the photographic camera from backside and turned information technology and then information technology faced a blank wall. And so a few minutes afterward they turned it dorsum the way it was before. It tripped the security settings and I got a notification on my telephone. I saw it and searched the house thoroughly the next morning time but never found anything. Needless to say, I slept with my door locked the residuum of my time there.

On the Loose
I worked in a maximum-security prison for a while. I was assigned to central command ane night, which is where the photographic camera screens were.
One of the cameras was for the classifications room. I glanced at it and there was an inmate in there. This was super odd because it was 2 a.m. and nobody was supposed to be in there. Everyone who had keys to that room went home at five.
And so, this inmate is just sitting in there doing naught. I got the sergeant'southward attention, told him someone was in there and gave him the spare cardinal to the room. He went to become check it out with a couple of other people, merely past the time they got at that place, the room was empty. They searched for similar 15 minutes but there was definitely no 1 in there.

Taken for a Ride
I used to have an apartment pretty close to my office. The office edifice was kind of in a business district, but it was as well kind of off on its own relative to the urban center'south commercial district "footprint."
I sold the apartment and, before moving into my new home, I left my bicycle chained to the building'south bike rack. It was only going to be at that place for a few days in that no human's land before I was able to motility into the new place.
Anyhow, one 24-hour interval in the heart of the calendar week, I come into the role, walk past the bike rack and discover that information technology'south completely empty. The edifice has a agglomeration of security cameras and 1 more or less is facing the bike rack since it's adjacent to the front end entryway. I sit and watch the security tape with the IT guy. We're watching. We run across anybody go out the role the night before and see the bicycle. We keep watching, and all all of a sudden, poof — the bike is gone. In the tape's timestamp it literally happened in one 2nd. I assume my bike got taken to the Upside Downward.

A Ghost Probably Did It
I used to work security at a college dorm, and I one time witnessed one of the doors on a washing machine slowly open itself and proceed to tear itself clean off of the automobile. I told my boss this creepy story and showed him the video. He made me review photographic camera footage for the balance of the night 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 we had a nice koi pond in the side one thousand. I chiefly cared for it, feeding the fish and cleaning out the leaves/filter. I named all the fish and grew to intendance virtually them.
Then one 24-hour interval I was walking through the side grand to get to the dorsum office when I noticed there were no fish in the pond. It's not a big pond, possibly a foot or so at its deepest and 7 feet long. Information technology's not similar they were all hiding! At first I idea someone hopped the fence at nighttime and stole the fish — koi are expensive, after all. I reviewed the security footage from the night earlier to try and catch the cretin who did this. And at 6 a.m., I defenseless him.
A behemothic heron with a 6-foot wingspan came downwardly and helped himself to some fish for breakfast. Luckily one of the fish survived. He later came out of some hidey hole in the wall. He was named Subway because he was near a foot long. We bought more than fish to keep him company and I made a rock cove roofing over half the pond and so they could flee in example the heron came back.

What Did the Barrier Exercise to Her?
I used to work equally hospital security, and we had video cameras accessible in the function. Once we were eating dejeuner, watching the cams in the parkade. There was a bulwark that went down to block the exit until yous paid. Some lady in a minivan pulled up really slowly to the arm, stopped then put the pedal to the metal. She blasted through the arm blockade, snapping it into smithereens. She then stopped on the other side for a good xxx seconds before casually driving off. Because she did it and then casually, we presume it was intentional.

A Burning Issue
I worked It for a string of retail stores. I was asked to back upward the data from an incident. Information technology was a disheveled-looking man who came into the store just before midnight. He had crazy hair. He went right to the lighter brandish and started selecting lighters and placing them direct to his ear. To hear the hissing of the butane? I don't know. But on the 5th lighter or so, he hit the flint. The lighter fired upward, and his crazy hair burst into flames. He swatted at his hair with corking speed. The flames went out, but his hair was…singed. Badly.
I had a good laugh, backed up the information to a USB stick and handed information technology to the staff. No idea how it all played out.

Cops Took Out the Existent Trash
This was on my home surveillance organization. There was a dwelling house invasion robbery near me, and so after the cops came (and arrested the perps) I checked for surveillance footage.
There'south me, taking out the trash. Less than 10 feet from me, the ii cars (a total of six criminals) made a U-turn in front of my house before committing the crime.
So the criminals literally drove past me and then drove up the street to do a robbery. They broke in the back door of a house where 2 teenagers were dwelling house alone. The kids hid and chosen the cops. Nobody got hurt, and the cops arrested all the crooks.

Seize the Day
I help run tech support for a regional convenience store chain. Virtually 2 months ago, nosotros had a crazy occurrence of three people having seizures in our stores (three different stores) in the same day. Here's the kicker: They all happened within a range of 10 minutes. I take access to each store's tapes and watched the kickoff happen, and and so two minutes later saw the seizure at some other store. So seven minutes later I saw it happen at a third store.

Orb to be Wild
I was installing CCTV in a retirement residence apartment and didn't have a hard bulldoze to save the recording. I ready up four cameras with the monitor in the bedroom. The other tech and I were in the sleeping room looking at the screen, and nosotros 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 downwardly the hall towards the door of the room we were standing in. We both, without proverb annihilation, simply turned and stared at the door, but nothing appeared. I've worked with CCTV for many years and never saw whatsoever orbs like that before or ever again.

Nothing Like a Challenge
I work nights at a hotel, and in that location's this kind of odd family living on the flooring in a higher place me. I lookout the cameras so I tin sit and chill. Fairly often in the eye of the night, an older lady who lives there comes out and runs backwards to the exit, I assume for a smoke. Information technology'southward nothing terribly aberrant for a night-owl family, I guess, but she RUNS and runs BACKWARDS every fourth dimension she comes out. Actually odd.

Gone to the Dogs
I have cameras up effectually the front of my house considering we had our motorcar broken into three times one year before the constabulary shut down the gang doing it.
One Christmas Eve, we're well-nigh 45 minutes from the house. My neighbour calls and tells me that my two Rottweilers are sitting on my porch and won't let anyone approach them. I race home and find the gate open. I immediately put them dorsum in the yard 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 up, which is a reasonable supposition.
So it'southward really bugging me because I've never had a lock on my fences and neither domestic dog had tried to escape in three years. I review the tape, and these two guys become to the side gate and effort to steal my dogs! The male is easily 85 pounds and the female is 65 pounds. The video was hilarious considering these two guys were running for their lives to an SUV parked 2 houses down with both dogs all over them. And so afterwards they left, the dogs went to the porch to prevarication down to wait.

A Wild Turn of Events
I used to be the barback at a pizza place/brewery, and on about nights that included bouncing duties to boot out unruly people. The place was correct by the beach so we had a lot of people who were homeless come through. One night an older man came in with a bamboo staff and was waving it around like he was going to hit someone. I had to grab the guy and take his staff and drag him outside.
He wouldn't leave, and so we called the police force and I had to expect there for the cops to show up. Once they got at that place, I told them what happened and went dorsum inside to take my interruption. I was in the office watching the police talk to the guy on the outside cameras when all of a sudden a Lotus pulled up backside the cop automobile. A guy in a adjust got out and talked to the cop every bit he uncuffed the man. The man got in the Lotus with the guy in the suit and they drove off. Information technology was pretty weird.

A Sneaky Bargain
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 4 a.m. The funniest affair I've seen is someone literally selling the stock stereo out of his truck (it wasn't stolen; he was a regular and always drove the truck).
Anyway, they do the bargain and the guy comes to trade the money for I think singles or something. The money is counterfeit. We had a good laugh at that one for a while. Likewise, exist careful with your phones; our cameras could see everything people texted if we thought someone was sketchy or we were simply bored.

Up Against the Wall
I work in a retail store, and for a while, I worked security in that location. Watching the security cameras wasn't technically my job, only we were consistently brusk-staffed in that section and the manager was grooming me for promotion. So, I got to fill up in and lookout the cameras occasionally.
I day when we were reviewing footage from overnights, we saw this teenager calmly set down his shopping basket, take off his hat and glasses and only accuse at a wall. He hitting it head-on. He did this two 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 last Easter nosotros had a intermission-in. We found the footage of the guy going in at ii p.m., leaving at around iii and non really taking anything. Fast forrad to 7 p.thou. The guy comes dorsum in and is walking around the auditorium until 6 a.one thousand. the next morning. In that time he proceeded to strip into his underwear, steal and wear a mask the Japanese exchange students fabricated for the teacher and then steal six full bags of random items.

An Almost Tragic Fall
I worked at a hydropower plant in NC. The top was a walkway with a 30-foot drop off the back. A drunk group of guys is playing around on the edge. We meet them on the cams, so we phone call the authorities. In the meantime, i 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 after the 30-foot fall, getting sucked underwater, going through the cage and coming out. We go out to notice the torso, and we find him, coughing and bruised.

Peekaboo!
I used to work from seven p.m. to 7 a.m. At around 3 or iv a.grand., I would start seeing things due to isolation and lack of sleep. In that location were many times I jumped to the cameras to encounter if what I was seeing was real or not. I often thought I saw people watching me and jumping off the parking garage next door.
Merely it was never real, so I stopped worrying about it — until one night I saw someone watching me and thought nothing of information technology. That was until I went to do a patrol and it turned out the person was real and had been staring at me for twenty minutes. At that point, I merely ran dorsum inside and decided I was done with my patrols for the dark.

Let the Bottle Striking the Flooring
I worked every bit a valet dorsum in the day at a very high-end hotel and had some friends who worked in other areas of the hotel as bartenders, servers and security. Later busy Friday and Sat nights, nosotros all go chosen in similar all hands on deck — every member of the staff. The hotel managing director is fuming. They had fix out a bottle of wine that cost something like $25,000. When they came in Sun morning in preparation for a very important guest, the wine bottle was smashed on the floor. Everyone denied doing anything, so it just kind of went away without anyone hearing about what happened.
A few days afterward, my buddy in security showed me the bar footage. I tin can clearly come across the manager place the canteen on the bar then exit and close up. And then I see the canteen is slightly moved, almost similar a true cat knocking a pen off the tabular array. Then, bam! The bottle hits the ground and shatters. There are what look like footprints without shoes going back and forth. At that place were tons of diverse stories well-nigh the identify being haunted, but that was the first video evidence I'd seen.

Making Sheep'south Eyes at You
I worked in a 24/vii filling station outside of a large town in Ireland. The surface area is pretty rural and is really dark at night. The forecourt has a motion-activated buzzer that lets dark crew inside know there's movement outside. The cablegram went off i fourth dimension during my shift, and then I looked outside but couldn't run across anyone…
…simply a heavily pregnant ewe staring back at me, I went to phone my dad for him to come to see if he knew who it belonged to. As I dialed his number, the ewe turned around. At that place were two little legs sticking out; it was giving nascence right and so and in that location.

As You Wish
I worked at a hobby card shop well-nigh 12 years ago. I become to work one morning and the police are already there. We'd had a break-in and had some stuff stolen. Our IT guy gets in and pulls upwardly the video from the night earlier. We see a person's shadow walk in front end of the door a few times, 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 bag and runs dorsum out.
Nosotros 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?" Nosotros then proceed to lose it even more. Needless to say, Orlando's Finest never caught upwards to Boba Fett.

Going Out With a Bang
I was a cop in the Air Force. One night while working the operations heart, I find information technology looks like one of the gates to our airfield, shared with a major business organization and local airport, is on the basis.
I radio my patrols to go check it out and all I hear is, "Uh, control?" I say, "The gate is on the ground isn't information technology?" I gear up up a makeshift checkpoint with my people and call the airport and local police.
Afterward they arrive I review the footage and see this car stop at our gate, support maybe half a mile, break for a few minutes and so floor it. He turns toward our office of the airfield and either sees our large cargo planes or the two cops not paying attention on the flying line. He turns effectually. (Both of these officers got in problem later for not seeing this.)
He then floors it towards oncoming air traffic and is gone. I notify airport police that some guy is out in that location dodging airplanes, and their dispatcher leaves without hanging upwards the phone bold to aid. They finally catch him after a short chase ending in a ditch with two empty bottles of vodka in the automobile. He's killing a third when they pull him out.

Smell a Rat
It was the center of the dark and I was working alone (watching security cameras) in an African country. All of a sudden, a Large animal jumps off the roof and scuttles away into our courtyard by the front door. Terrified and well-nigh to call for fill-in, I pull up the recorded camera footage and replay it until I finally figure out what it was — a giant rat. I'm non certain how big those things tin can get, only this 1 looked like a medium-sized canis familiaris.

Scream Your Guts Out
The creepiest I've seen involved our neighbors. The lady had walked into the street at about 2 a.g. She was staring at the storm bleed 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 drain, screaming. This went on for about 10 minutes. And so she stood there and screamed at the basis before going inside.

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

A Flurry of Papers
I worked the overnight shift equally an asset protection officer for a department store distribution heart. When I was hired, people joked about it being haunted, and some warned me about information technology.
I was outside checking in my coworker who worked profitable the truckers, and I was watching their cameras. I watched my part being torn apart by…no ane. Papers being thrown, office chair pushed bated. I saw and heard a lot of weird things during my time at that place, but that scared me the most. And knowing I had to go dorsum inside after my outdoor rounds scared me fifty-fifty more.

The Old Switcheroo
Xx-three years ago I was doing a job that involved monitoring some people through a CCTV camera on a double-decker. It was hidden behind the mirror the driver uses to watch passengers. Well, it was odd because a guy was standing at the front end near the yellow line watching the route with the driver.
Then I see information technology. A heart-aged woman in the front end has her bag on her lap with her easily resting on top of it. Seconds later, the purse kind of flashes abroad from her easily and is under the seat. Then it's back to being on her lap. Then it's away once again underneath her seat. Then it's back to being where information technology started on pinnacle of her lap. Information technology was and then infuriating that I went on a binge.

Trick or Treat
I actually do watch security cameras for a living — for a high-rising in a big city. Every Halloween, like a dozen of the folks in the visitor that works in there practise a big grouping Halloween costume. One year the theme was presidents. Ane year information technology was unlike characters from the same Television set prove. So on this item Halloween, I'yard watching the cameras, not really thinking about Halloween. I glance at the lift cameras to see an elevator door open, and a dozen women all dressed like The Grudge ghost enter the elevator at once. Information technology spooked me for a second!
