Light Orbs Around A Nursing Home
[ranking: 11]
From Redditor /u/tonytwotimes505:
Used to see little crescent shaped light orbs floating around the back dock of a nursing home 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.
A Prisoner Who Just Disappeared
[ranking: 6]
From Redditor /u/Bb21297:
I worked in a maximum security prison for awhile. I was assigned to central control one night, which is where the 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 two in the morning and nobody was supposed to be in there. Everyone that had keys to that room went home at 5.
Anyways, so this inmate is just sitting in there doing nothing. I got the sergeant??s attention and told him someone was in there, and gave him the spare key to the room. He went to go check it out with a couple of other people, but by the time they got there, the room was empty. They searched for like 15 minutes but there was definitely no one in there.
A Washing Machine That Tears Itself Apart
[ranking: 9]
From Redditor /u/beatsnstuffz:
I used to work security at a college dorm and I once witnessed one of the doors on a washing machine slowly open itself and proceed to tear itself clean off of the machine. Told my boss this ??creepy story?? and showed him the video and he made me review camera footage for the rest of the night to find out who broke the machine despite the fact that he watched it break itself.
People Disappearing Into The Basement
[ranking: 3]
From Redditor /u/planet__express:
This happened a few years before I started working at my current job. The elevators in my building go down to the first and second basement. Late one night, one of our security guards spots a group of people heading into the elevator at Level 4. He thinks it??s curious because nobody is supposed to be in the building after midnight, so he keeps a close watch on all the lobby cameras to see which floor the group alights at.
The doors open at Basement Two, but nobody comes out. The second guard scurries down to the elevator doors while the first guard keeps his eye on the cameras to make sure no one has left. When the second guard gets to the basement elevator, he looks puzzled and searches around. He comes back to the guard station to confirm that it??s empty.
Putting the building on lockdown, the two guards spend the rest of the night combing the building together but they were unable to find anyone or anything. They decide to call the police, who review the footage and see the same thing. In the end, the sighting was still unexplained but my workplace decided to stop being cheap and install security cameras in the elevators too.
A Vanishing Bike
[ranking: 10]
From Redditor /u/tjs252:
I used to have an apartment pretty close to my office. The office building was kind of in a business district, but it was also kind of off on its own relative to the city??s commercial district ??footprint.??
I sold the apartment and before moving into my new home, I left my bicycle chained to the building??s bike rack. It was only going to be there for a few days in that no man??s land before I was able to move into the new place.
Anyway, one day in the middle of the week, I come into the office, walk past the bike rack and notice that it??s completely empty. The building has a bunch of security cameras and one more or less is facing the bike rack since it??s adjacent to the front entryway. I sit and watch the security tape with the IT guy. We??re watching, see everyone leave the office the night before, see the bike, keep watching, then all of a sudden poof, bike gone. We slowed the tape down and it seemed like when you??re watching digital cable or satellite and the image gets garbled. Literally it was bike there, then poof gone. In the tape??s time stamp it literally happened in one second. I assume my bike got taken to the upside down.
A Mysterious Man Who Could Not Be Found
[ranking: 8]
From Redditor /u/eiram777:
I work for a security company, we install and monitor CCTV on construction sites.
One night (about 2am) our response officer gets a call from the monitoring station to say there??s a guy walking around one of the buildings under construction. They described him as tall, dressed in all black with his hood up, but couldn??t see his face because he had his back to the camera. He wasn??t stealing or vandalizing, just wandering around (usually homeless looking for shelter).
So the response goes to investigate. When he gets there there??s nobody around, so he asks the station to check the camera covering the way in/out of the building to see which direction he went, but there??s nothing. He does a full patrol of the site and there??s no trace of anyone.
The only other way for this guy to get out was to shimmy down scaffolding and he could be hurt so the response officer asks the station to do a check on all of the camera footage through the night to see if there??s any sign of him leaving. Nothing.
The next day we ask the station to send over the stills from when they initially picked the intruder up. He??s not on any of them. Just footage of our response officer walking around.
We were pretty freaked out talking about it in the office and it was laughed off as the monitoring officer being sleepy and seeing things, except the cameras we use have IR beams and they only alert the monitoring station when someone breaks them.
