What do you do when Dobby turns up at your door? Dobby went Viral in June 2019 when a Twitter user tweeted this footage with the caption:-
“A lady posted this and said she saw this on her home camera this morning. What y’all think this is?”
The internet was quick to respond – the late great house elf. In one week, this footage got 31 million views. The footage was shot on CCTV cam outside Vivian Comez’s home and as of yet doesn’t have an explanation.
9. Ghost Child Play

It’s not that scary to look outside and see that a kid is skipping across your driveway. It’s almost cute, “look at the neighbor’s kid! They grow up so fast.” But what if it’s not the neighbor’s kid, the figure is translucent, and it’s the middle of the night?
Not so cute anymore, is it? That’s what happened in this security footage of a couple’s driveway. The two were in their kitchen talking when the husband suddenly ran over to their security footage on the TV in shock.
She quickly joins him and they stare, wide-eyed, as a sheer white figure runs across their driveway. They think that it could be a man who was said to have died in the area, but that is 100% a child.
Whatever it is you see, it’s undeniable that arms and legs are moving within the figure as if it were a human body running playfully. What would you do if you saw that on your security camera?
8. Uninvited Guest

These doorbell cameras that people set up are some of the scariest inventions. Every theory on who or what this could be is scary. A teenager in makeup? Scary. A ghost? Scary. A neighbor smiling at your camera at 4 a.m.? The horror!
This footage came from a man who, after getting repeated notifications with no image, finally caught sight of what was triggering his motion sensor in the middle of the night and we’re sure he was not happy with what he found.
The figure doesn’t look violent or threatening, but it sure doesn’t look normal either. If I knew that thing was at my door, I’d never leave again. One of the creepiest things caught on security cameras.
7. Ghost Woman Next to Guards

While before, the girls saw something the camera didn’t, now, the camera sees something the people in the shot don’t. The security footage is from a loading dock in Mexico.
The guards communicate via radio, some watching the CCTV footage, while others investigate with flashlights. In the video, we can see what looks to be a little girl dressed in all black standing on the pavement.
The guards on the ground are instructed to walk backward three steps, and we see them inch so close to the girl, that we get goosebumps. The guards use their flashlights and their arms while they walk across the area and the girl stays in place.
Everything goes through and the guards onsite must start to wonder if they’re part of some practical joke.
“There is nothing” they keep saying, waving their arms and flashlights around. All the while, the girl remains motionless, standing and staring at the ground.
6. iPhone Scare

Another strange phenomenon has gone beyond CCTV and cell phone videos into iPhone live photos. Live photos take a short 3-second recording of what you’re taking a photo of.
This allows for cute reactions, choosing better photos from the three seconds, gifs, and other cool little tricks. Another thing it allows for is creepy encounters. In this photo, we see a man standing in calf-length grass.
Behind him, someone seems to be walking towards him, waist-deep in the same grass. The steps he takes towards the man in the photo are slow and deliberate.
Since we don’t know what happened just before or just after the picture, and the man seems oblivious to his presence, it’s the spookiest gif we’ve ever seen.
5. Bill’s Dinner

The backstory behind this video is just a brother and sister doing what they do. The brother thought his sister kept playing with his dinner when he got up so he set up a camera to keep an eye on her.
When he gets up, the young girl dips her finger into his soda playfully and then, as if it were no big deal, starts to talk to someone invisible to the camera. “That’s Bill’s dinner,” she says, straight-faced, with no traceable fear.
In the corner of the video, we see the silverware move on its own immediately after she says that. She then grabs the can of soda, pours drops into her brother’s drink, then does the same over empty space.
Is she imagining things? Who moved the silverware? I think her brother would have rather not watched this video.
4. The Dashcam Witch

We have some more police dashcam footage! This video comes from the Azusa Police Department of Canyon City. A Police patrol is driving down a Californian road at 3 am when they come across a woman who has started a fire.
There is no real explanation as to what the is going on here. The woman is stood in the middle of a fire circle and we can’t see her face, which leaves me to believe she is either mentally unstable or a witch.
Basically some combination of pure evil. Well, truly one of the creepiest things caught on security cameras.
3. Cab Ghost

This CCTV camera was set up outside, in what looks to be some kind of terminal or parking lot. Here, we see a man hail a cab and hop inside to head to his destination. From the sidewalk to the moment he opens the taxi door, he’s totally alone.
He looks only toward the car, he doesn’t reach for, look at, or talk to anyone else. However, the moment he opens the door to get inside, a figure of a woman appears behind him, walking into the taxi.
She doesn’t bend over, she doesn’t grab the door, she just walks through behind him. The taxi then drives away, and what happened next is unknown. Hopefully, the man never saw the footage, because who could live with that image in their head?
2. Hooded Man

Though ghosts and ghouls caught on camera are frightening, some of our deepest fears are seeing other unwanted people on our security footage.
Like this couple, who fell asleep in front of the TV while lying on the couch. Days later, when they realized the woman’s purse was missing, they decided to go over their security footage.
Unlike our last cases, they didn’t find a child ghost or someone looking into their camera eerily, but rather a grown man standing at the top of their staircase looking down at them, inside their house!
For minutes, the hooded figure stands quietly, even stopping to watch what’s on the television, seeming to be in no rush at all. The couple sleeps soundly as the man finds something to steal and then leaves, but not without getting caught on several security cameras.
1. Revolving Doors Go Wrong

Security camera footage catches this weird phenomenon in the entryway of a building when men hop into a revolving door. The door is revolving normally, with other men inside going through as usual.
Then, as one of the men walks through halfway, two of the doors close in on him and the glass shatters. He runs back into the building holding his head, looking shocked. All the other men run back as well, unable to explain what just happened.
We can’t figure it out either. Whether it was an angry door ghost, some bad karma the man was carrying, or just malfunctioning doors. What do you think?
