Unbelievable Moments Caught on Home Security Cameras That Defy Explanation
Ohhhh story time!
So, my dad had two cameras set up. One for his truck, one for my suv. His truck is always parked in front of the steps to our house. Mine is parked a short distance from his truck.
5 years ago, my dad caught a army of raccoons coming into our house through a cat door, taking peices of trash out of the trash can and walking out with it. My dad couldn’t figure out why it was taking more time to take the trash out.
He viewed the camera a month later and all you could see was 12 raccoon eyes charging in and out of the house. My dad did finally catch them in house and shot one. Game and fish wasn’t happy and wanted to file charges on him. Didn’t work out though because they technically broke into our home. My dad was defending himself.
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.
Woke up to a dead rabbit laying under our bird feeders. Scanned through the footage to see the rabbit hop up, snacked on discarded bird seed for a half hour, then just tipped over dead. No idea WTF happened. Dude just straight-up died — some global warming s**t.
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.
Early one morning many years ago, I got a call from my buddy across the street.
“Get over here. You’ve got to see this.”
So I get over there and we get into his office and pull up the previous night’s security footage on his computer (he had installed one to keep an eye out for a vengeful ex-friend who had been going onto his property and vandalizing things).
He begins to fast forward the video and pauses around the 3:00 AM mark. At first there wasn’t much going on, but gradually we began to see signs of movement in the shadows of his neighbors’ front lawn. All of a sudden, a very tall, pasty white man with a beard and long, straggly hair stepped out of the shadows and stood on the sidewalk in front of my friend’s house and stood staring at the street.
“What the f**k?” I said. “Is he naked?”
My friend shook his head. “Keep watching.”
The man stepped all the way in front of the house where he was now illuminated by a nearby street lamp. I could see that he was wearing a pair of briefs that were nearly as white as he was.
“Who is this guy? I’ve never seen him around here before.” I said.
“Me neither. Keep looking. It gets better.”
Indeed it did. Abruptly, the man turned and faced the house for several moments, then began to slowly creep up the driveway towards the front door in a highly exaggerated manner that immediately brought to mind Elmer Fudd hunting wabbits.
He then stared at the front door for a full ten minutes and moved over to tap on the front windows a few times before noticing the light of the security camera. He approached it and appeared to wiggle it around a bit before tiring of it and moving over to the side of the house.
It had been a trash pick up day, and my friend had not yet moved his empty can to the backyard. We could see the man kinda fumbling with something, but between the relative darkness and an obscuring palm frond we couldn’t tell what he was doing.
Our question was soon answered when he wandered back into the center of the yard with the empty 50 gallon garbage can over his head! All you could see was his pale legs. He kind of roamed around aimlessly for a few moments, even ducking down entirely into the can when a passing car went by. He soon tired of the garbage can, pulled it off and rolled it down the driveway where it came to rest against the car (the strange placement of the garbage can in the morning being what had prompted my friend to check his cameras in the first place).
