What's the most unhinged thing you've caught on surveillance footage?

0:04.0

I had a game camera out once, and a neighbour would just walk through my property any time.

0:09.0

I didn't care, the place is just pretty big and there's no back fence,

0:12.0

but I kept having sheep go missing, so I set out a camera.

0:16.0

The camera caught my neighbour walking by, and then, like 30 seconds later,

0:19.0

a frickin' mountain lion walked by it

0:21.6

stalking him. It apparently never attacked as he was fine, but he had no idea how close he

0:27.4

was to that thing. I used to work overnights at a hotel and would monitor the security cameras.

1:02.0

Also, one time I was in my office in the middle of the night, and it sounded like somebody banged

1:06.3

on the door with the side of their fist, just one single slam. You can see me reacting to it on the video.

1:12.9

My head whipped around to face the door where the sound came from, then immediately whipped

1:16.5

around to stare at the camera to see who the frick was outside my door. There was nobody there,

1:21.3

and none of the motion sensors had picked up anything. Not fun finishing the rest of that shift.

1:26.6

I was house sitting in a huge house and set up a
