It Was Never to Be Seen Again
Whether it'southward a business concern or a home, surveillance cameras are key in identifying unwanted situations on a property. While footage might show a frightening intruder, sometimes the cameras end upward 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 photographic camera out once and I had a neighbor who would merely walk through my belongings. I didn't care; the place is pretty and there's no back fence. Just I kept having sheep go missing, then I gear up out a camera.
The photographic camera caught my neighbour walking by. Then, similar xxx seconds later, a mount panthera leo walked past, stalking him. It apparently never attacked every bit he was fine, but he had no idea how close he was to that matter.

Incorrect Floor, Pal
I used to piece of work overnights at a hotel and would monitor the security cameras. They would detect motility, and a piddling indicator would blink when motility was detected. Anyhow, it always gave me the creeps when I'd hear the elevator ding. I'd run out to the entrance hall to greet the guest to brand sure they didn't demand something, and nobody would get off the elevator. I'd watch the tapes and see the motility indicator blinking on a floor, then see the elevator open up on that flooring. Then I'd run into the elevator open on the ground floor and the motion indicator glimmer on the photographic camera down the hall. It gave me the heebie-jeebies.

Stranger in the House
I was business firm-sitting in a huge place and prepare up a security photographic camera near the bedroom. I had an uneasy feeling someone else was in the house with me, so I set upwardly the camera only to make sure no one came most my room. In the middle of the dark, someone approached the camera from behind and turned it then it faced a blank wall. Then a few minutes later they turned it dorsum the style information technology was before. It tripped the security settings and I got a notification on my telephone. I saw it and searched the firm thoroughly the side by side morning time but never found annihilation. Needless to say, I slept with my door locked the rest of my time there.

On the Loose
I worked in a maximum-security prison for a while. I was assigned to central control i night, which is where the camera screens were.
1 of the cameras was for the classifications room. I glanced at it and there was an inmate in at that place. This was super odd considering it was 2 a.g. and nobody was supposed to be in there. Everyone who had keys to that room went home at 5.
And so, this inmate is merely sitting in at that place doing nothing. I got the sergeant's attention, told him someone was in there and gave him the spare key to the room. He went to become check it out with a couple of other people, but past the fourth dimension they got there, the room was empty. They searched for like fifteen minutes but at that place was definitely no one in there.

Taken for a Ride
I used to have an flat pretty close to my function. The role edifice was kind of in a business district, but information technology was also kind of off on its own relative to the city'due south commercial commune "footprint."
I sold the apartment and, before moving into my new dwelling, I left my bicycle chained to the edifice's cycle rack. It was only going to exist there for a few days in that no man's land earlier I was able to motion into the new place.
Anyway, i day in the centre of the week, I come up into the office, walk past the wheel rack and notice that it'due south completely empty. The building has a agglomeration of security cameras and i more than or less is facing the bike rack since it's side by side to the front entryway. I sit down and watch the security record with the IT guy. We're watching. We run across everyone leave the function the night before and meet the wheel. We keep watching, and suddenly, poof — the bike is gone. In the tape'southward timestamp information technology literally happened in one second. I assume my bike got taken to the Upside Down.

A Ghost Probably Did Information technology
I used to work security at a college dorm, and I once witnessed ane of the doors on a washing car slowly open itself and proceed to tear itself clean off of the machine. I told my boss this creepy story and showed him the video. He made me review camera footage for the rest of the nighttime to find out who broke the machine, despite the fact that he watched information technology suspension itself.

Survival of the Fittest
I used to manage a retail swimming pool store, and we had a nice koi swimming in the side grand. I chiefly cared for it, 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 k to get to the dorsum office when I noticed in that location were no fish in the swimming. Information technology's not a big pond, maybe a foot or so at its deepest and seven feet long. Information technology's not like they were all hiding! At beginning I thought someone hopped the fence at dark and stole the fish — koi are expensive, after all. I reviewed the security footage from the night before to endeavour and catch the cretin who did this. And at 6 a.m., I caught him.
A behemothic heron with a half dozen-human foot wingspan came down 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 nearly a foot long. Nosotros bought more than fish to proceed him company and I made a rock cove covering over one-half the pond so they could abscond in case the heron came back.

What Did the Barrier Do to Her?
I used to work as hospital security, and we had video cameras accessible in the office. Once we were eating lunch, watching the cams in the parkade. At that place was a bulwark that went down to block the exit until you paid. Some lady in a minivan pulled up really slowly to the arm, stopped so put the pedal to the metal. She blasted through the arm occludent, snapping it into smithereens. She then stopped on the other side for a good 30 seconds before casually driving off. Because she did it then casually, we assume it was intentional.

A Burning Consequence
I worked It for a string of retail stores. I was asked to support the information from an incident. Information technology was a disheveled-looking man who came into the store just before midnight. He had crazy pilus. He went right to the lighter brandish and started selecting lighters and placing them directly to his ear. To hear the hissing of the butane? I don't know. Only on the fifth lighter or so, he hitting 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, only his hair was…singed. Desperately.
I had a adept express mirth, backed up the data 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 abode surveillance organization. There was a domicile invasion robbery near me, so later the cops came (and arrested the perps) I checked for surveillance footage.
There's me, taking out the trash. Less than 10 feet from me, the two 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 and so drove upward the street to do a robbery. They broke in the dorsum door of a house where two teenagers were home lonely. The kids hid and called the cops. Nobody got injure, and the cops arrested all the crooks.

Seize the Day
I help run tech back up for a regional convenience store concatenation. About two months ago, we had a crazy occurrence of iii people having seizures in our stores (three different stores) in the same solar day. Here's the kicker: They all happened within a range of x minutes. I have admission to each store'south tapes and watched the first happen, and then two minutes after saw the seizure at another store. Then seven minutes subsequently I saw it happen at a third shop.

Orb to exist Wild
I was installing CCTV in a retirement residence apartment and didn't have a difficult drive to salvage the recording. I set up 4 cameras with the monitor in the bedchamber. 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 effectually 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 continuing in. We both, without maxim anything, just turned and stared at the door, but naught appeared. I've worked with CCTV for many years and never saw any orbs similar that before or ever again.

Nothing Like a Challenge
I work nights at a hotel, and in that location'due south this kind of odd family unit living on the floor in a higher place me. I sentry the cameras then I tin sit down and chill. Fairly often in the middle of the night, an older lady who lives at that place comes out and runs backwards to the leave, I assume 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. Actually odd.

Gone to the Dogs
I have cameras upward around the forepart of my house because nosotros had our car broken into 3 times i year earlier the constabulary shut down the gang doing it.
1 Christmas Eve, we're virtually 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 arroyo them. I race home and find the gate open up. I immediately put them back in the yard and get get a lock for the argue. The whole time this is going on, my married woman is telling me that the dogs probably pushed the gate open, which is a reasonable supposition.
So it'southward actually bugging me because I've never had a lock on my fences and neither dog had tried to escape in three years. I review the tape, and these two guys go to the side gate and endeavour to steal my dogs! The male is easily 85 pounds and the female is 65 pounds. The video was hilarious because these two guys were running for their lives to an SUV parked two houses down with both dogs all over them. Then afterwards they left, the dogs went to the porch to lie down to look.

A Wild Turn of Events
I used to be the barback at a pizza place/brewery, and on most nights that included billowy duties to kick out unruly people. The identify was correct by the beach and so we had a lot of people who were homeless come through. One nighttime an older homo came in with a bamboo staff and was waving it around similar he was going to hitting someone. I had to grab the guy and have his staff and drag him outside.
He wouldn't leave, so nosotros called the police and I had to look there for the cops to prove upwards. In one case they got there, I told them what happened and went back inside to have my intermission. I was in the office watching the police talk to the guy on the outside cameras when of a sudden a Lotus pulled upwardly behind the cop car. A guy in a suit got out and talked to the cop as he uncuffed the man. The man got in the Lotus with the guy in the conform 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 continue to clean their cars for an hour or more at like four a.g. The funniest thing 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).
Anyhow, they do the deal and the guy comes to trade the money for I retrieve singles or something. The money is apocryphal. We had a skillful laugh at that ane for a while. As well, be careful with your phones; our cameras could see everything people texted if nosotros thought someone was sketchy or nosotros were merely bored.

Up Confronting the Wall
I piece of work in a retail store, and for a while, I worked security in that location. Watching the security cameras wasn't technically my task, but we were consistently curt-staffed in that section and the director was preparation me for promotion. So, I got to fill in and watch the cameras occasionally.
One twenty-four hour period when we were reviewing footage from overnights, we saw this teenager calmly ready downward his shopping basket, have off his hat and glasses and just accuse at a wall. He hit it head-on. He did this 2 more times. When he was washed, his face was a mess, and he put his hat and glasses back on and just left.

That Was a Present, Dude
I used to work It at a university, and last Easter we had a burglary. We found the footage of the guy going in at 2 p.m., leaving at effectually 3 and not really taking anything. Fast forward to seven p.grand. The guy comes back in and is walking around the auditorium until 6 a.yard. the next morning. In that time he proceeded to strip into his underwear, steal and article of clothing a mask the Japanese exchange students made for the teacher then steal six full bags of random items.

An Almost Tragic Fall
I worked at a hydropower institute in NC. The top was a walkway with a 30-foot drop off the back. A drunk group of guys is playing effectually on the border. Nosotros meet them on the cams, so we call the regime. In the concurrently, 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 later the 30-foot autumn, getting sucked underwater, going through the cage and coming out. We become out to find the torso, and we observe him, coughing and bruised.

Peekaboo!
I used to work from 7 p.k. to 7 a.m. At around three or 4 a.yard., I would start seeing things due to isolation and lack of sleep. In that location were many times I jumped to the cameras to come across if what I was seeing was real or not. I often idea I saw people watching me and jumping off the parking garage next door.
Simply it was never real, so I stopped worrying about information technology — until one nighttime I saw someone watching me and thought cypher of it. That was until I went to practise a patrol and information technology turned out the person was real and had been staring at me for 20 minutes. At that point, I just ran back inside and decided I was done with my patrols for the night.

Let the Bottle Hit the Floor
I worked every bit a valet back in the day at a very high-finish hotel and had some friends who worked in other areas of the hotel every bit bartenders, servers and security. After busy Friday and Saturday nights, we all go called in like all hands on deck — every member of the staff. The hotel manager is fuming. They had set out a canteen of wine that cost something like $25,000. When they came in Sunday forenoon in grooming for a very important invitee, the vino canteen was smashed on the floor. Everyone denied doing anything, and so it just kind of went away without anyone hearing near what happened.
A few days later, my buddy in security showed me the bar footage. I can clearly come across the director identify the canteen on the bar and then leave and close upward. Then I see the bottle is slightly moved, almost like a cat knocking a pen off the table. Then, bam! The bottle hits the ground and shatters. In that location are what look like footprints without shoes going back and forth. There were tons of various stories near the place being haunted, simply that was the outset video evidence I'd seen.

Making Sheep's Optics at You
I worked in a 24/7 filling station outside of a big town in Republic of ireland. The expanse is pretty rural and is really nighttime at night. The forecourt has a motion-activated buzzer that lets night coiffure within know there's motion exterior. The buzzer went off 1 time during my shift, so I looked exterior only couldn't see anyone…
…just a heavily pregnant ewe staring dorsum at me, I went to phone my dad for him to come to meet if he knew who it belonged to. As I dialed his number, the ewe turned effectually. At that place were two little legs sticking out; information technology was giving birth right and then and in that location.

Equally You Wish
I worked at a hobby card shop about 12 years ago. I get to work i 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 up the video from the night earlier. We meet a person'south shadow walk in front end of the door a few times, and then eventually the thief throws an object through the glass, slap-up it. He runs in, hops the counter, throws some Yu-Gi-Oh! booster boxes into a trash purse and runs back out.
We rewind and freeze the picture show to go a proficient look at the intruder. Nosotros then realize the thief is wearing a Boba Fett helmet. We all exclaim, "It'south Boba Fett!" and start laughing hysterically merely as 1 of the officers walks up. She says, "Oh, so you know the guy?" We and so proceed to lose it fifty-fifty more. Needless to say, Orlando's Finest never caught upwardly to Boba Fett.

Going Out With a Bang
I was a cop in the Air Forcefulness. One night while working the operations center, I notice it looks like one of the gates to our airfield, shared with a major business and local airport, is on the footing.
I radio my patrols to go check it out and all I hear is, "Uh, command?" I say, "The gate is on the ground isn't it?" I prepare a makeshift checkpoint with my people and call the airdrome and local law.
After they arrive I review the footage and run across this car stop at our gate, back up maybe half a mile, intermission for a few minutes and then floor it. He turns toward our part of the airfield and either sees our large cargo planes or the two cops not paying attention on the flight line. He turns effectually. (Both of these officers got in problem subsequently for non seeing this.)
He and 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 up the telephone assuming to assist. They finally catch him after a brusk chase catastrophe in a ditch with 2 empty bottles of vodka in the car. He'south killing a tertiary when they pull him out.

Odour a Rat
It was the middle of the nighttime and I was working lone (watching security cameras) in an African country. Suddenly, a Big fauna jumps off the roof and scuttles abroad into our courtyard by the front end door. Terrified and about to phone call for backup, I pull upward the recorded camera footage and replay it until I finally figure out what information technology was — a giant rat. I'thou non sure how big those things tin get, but this one looked like a medium-sized dog.

Scream Your Guts Out
The creepiest I've seen involved our neighbors. The lady had walked into the street at most two a.m. She was staring at the tempest drain at the curb for well-nigh v minutes before she pulled a huge knife (it seemed like it was a foot long) out of her waistband and knelt downwardly with her caput in the drain, screaming. This went on for about 10 minutes. Then she stood there and screamed at the ground earlier going within.

The Register Isn't That Way, Sir
I found a would-exist burglar in the dorsum of a department shop where I worked security. Afterward a pretty scary confrontation, the cops came and I had to pull video and write a report. He had been lurking effectually the back storage area for a solid 30 minutes before we closed and I found him. It scared me to meet squad members walking around with him lurking in the shadows, going in and out of aisles in the dorsum. I carried mace and was a full scaredy cat for a solid yr or and so after.

A Flurry of Papers
I worked the overnight shift as an nugget protection officer for a department store distribution centre. When I was hired, people joked about it being haunted, and some warned me about it.
I was outside checking in my coworker who worked assisting the truckers, and I was watching their cameras. I watched my office being torn apart by…no one. Papers being thrown, role chair pushed aside. I saw and heard a lot of weird things during my time there, but that scared me the most. And knowing I had to go back inside after my outdoor rounds scared me even more.

The Erstwhile Switcheroo
Twenty-3 years agone I was doing a job that involved monitoring some people through a CCTV camera on a bus. It was hidden backside the mirror the commuter uses to watch passengers. Well, it was odd considering a guy was standing at the front end near the yellow line watching the route with the driver.
Then I see it. A middle-anile woman in the front end has her purse on her lap with her easily resting on superlative of information technology. Seconds afterward, the purse kind of flashes away from her easily and is under the seat. Then it's back to beingness on her lap. Then it's away again underneath her seat. Then it's dorsum to being where it started on top of her lap. It was so infuriating that I went on a rampage.

Trick or Treat
I actually do scout security cameras for a living — for a loftier-rise in a big city. Every Halloween, like a dozen of the folks in the company that works in there exercise a big group Halloween costume. One year the theme was presidents. I twelvemonth it was different characters from the aforementioned TV show. So on this particular Halloween, I'm watching the cameras, non really thinking about Halloween. I glance at the elevator cameras to run across an elevator door open, and a dozen women all dressed similar The Grudge ghost enter the elevator at in one case. It spooked me for a 2d!
