19 Of The Creepiest Things Ever Caught On Surveillance Cameras

13.

Used to see little crescent shaped light orbs floating around the back dock of a nursing home that I did a little security for when I was young. First time I saw it I thought it was a reflection of a flashlight and that somebody was screwing around behind the building. I jumped up and ran to that door only to find that it was pitch dark and no movement of any kind going on. Only explanation I was ever able to come up with is it had something to do with the electrical panel energizing when the ac units would kick on. Don’t know for sure but it made me feel a little better. Also around that time the nurses found a cat that had been deboned, sprawled out on the sidewalk in front of the healthcare entrance. Paws and skull were the only hard bits left.

I have cameras on my front and back doors that send video to my phone when they detect movement. I was out of town and woke up to seeing several police officers walking around in my front and back yard. I called my neighbor to find out what had happened and found out that someone had crashed their car through my back fence, which borders the highway.

I don’t work in surveillance, but have a home security system. I left for work one morning, walked out my back door, got in my car, and pulled out of my driveway. The moment I left the driveway, a homeless would-be burglar, came out from hiding on the side of my house and tried to open my back door. When he found it locked, he reluctantly wandered off after looking around a bit. Never would have known if it wasn’t for cameras. Makes you wonder what goes on without your knowledge

Not worked in surveillance, but I helped a friend to install a camera inside an elevator. The mall guards had a “special” drive location for interesting footage. They showed us an elderly couple making out inside an elevator. It wasn’t creepy because they were old, but because how sweet “gandpa” and “gandma” turned into lust beasts as soon as the door closed, and back to sweet just before the door opened again. That elevator has seen a lot of action (gay, straight and other), but that couple was in the top 10.
