“I see this black, oozing mass creeping across the floor.
Then, it stood up into this weird, elongated shadow person with spindly arms and no eyes.”

These stories fromAsk Redditprove it.
During body escorts, we kept finding the morgue door open.
That was weird because it was a heavy door that could only be opened with a keycard.
I swore up and down I didnt and went to check the cameras.
Still dunno what the fuck.

One morning after noticing my back gate ajar, I reviewed the footage from the night before.
I watched as a would-be burglar at 3am pry launch the gate and creep towards the living room.
He suddenly stopped and started backing away when he noticed I was home and awake.
Its probably good that I didnt see him or hear him that night we both would have freaked out.

I sit and watch the security tape with the IT guy.
Literally it was bike there, then poof gone.
In the tapes time stamp it literally happened in one second.
I assume my bike got taken to the upside down.

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.
They searched for like 15 minutes but there was definitely no one in there.

They would detect motion and a little indicator would blink when motion was… well, detected.
Gave me the heeby jeebies.
Just one single SLAM.
There was nobody there, and none of the motion sensors had picked up anything.
Not fun finishing the rest of that shift.

Then a few minutes later turned it back the way it was before.
It tripped the canary and I got a notification on my phone.
I saw it and searched the house thoroughly the next morning and never found anything.
Needless to say, I slept with my door locked the rest of my time there.

He waved his hands for help and he cops came over and carried him to safety.
He didnt crawl to where he had gotten, he just appeared.
He looked like he made it out okay.

Anyways, security is kind of tight.
Bars on windows, multiple locked doors to get to where I am.
I look to the security camera and see someone walking down a hall towards my room.
But nobody came in, and the hairs start rising on my back.
Im told to go home and the manager and girl who replaced me would look over the camera.
After getting home I call my manager and ask what was on the camera.

Dont know for sure but it made me feel a little better.
Paws and skull were the only hard bits left.

My desk is actually from one of the victims.
(Door stays locked for security, I am the only person in this office).
Its in my peripheral vision.
This happens probably 3 or 4 times a day, every day.
I hope its not ghosts, I cant imagine being stuck at work for all of eternity.

Eventually someones cat went missing.
We reported it to the police and nothing odd happened on our street that wasnt drug induced.

Our hospital is a giant L shape, with the front entrance being at the bend.
A woman stopped him and asked him which way the exit was.
He directed her and kept running.
When he got to the patient, it was the woman who asked him for directions.

I saw a glass fly off the shelf behind him and it broke at his feet.
No other glassware moved, and then I saw myself freak out on camera.
Bartender is a seasoned old guy, but that one got to him.

We found blood in our backyard
Not surveillance but a home security footage.
I had been living with my godparents at the time.
I was maybe 10 feet away from him at one point and did not hear a thing.
Scary to think what couldve happened if a window was open.

The elevators in my building go down to the first and second basement.
The doors open at Basement Two, but nobody comes out.
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 its empty.
They decide to call the police, who review the footage and see the same thing.

Strange things happened inside of the psychiatric hospital
I worked in a government-runpsychiatric hospital.
More specifically, a forensic psych hospital.
For our highest-risk patients, there were cameras in every room.
A couple things I saw:
I worked there about a year.
Fun job, but I would never do it again.

Unfortunately we never saw the person who took her phone.

The office I worked at was our regional headquarters so there were a lot of different departments around.
One such department was manned by a friend of mine who I would often take breaks with.
This was around Halloween and these crooks had watched way too much tv before coming up with a plan.
If you know anything about bank robberies, theres hardly ever a takeover situation.
They barge into the branch wearing scream Halloween masks and capes.
This poor teller was only on his second day and still training.
He tried to fire up the drawer and it was locked.
He didnt have the keys.
He got pistol whipped too and fell to the ground.
I dont remember exactly how much they got away with, but it wasnt much.
They were caught a few hours later.

He wasnt stealing or vandalising, just wandering around (usually homeless looking for shelter).
So the response goes to investigate.
He does a full patrol of the site and theres no trace of anyone.
Hes not on any of them.
Just footage of our response officer walking around.

I screamed bloody murder.
Then, I threw up.
Also, no, that thing wasnt really there.
I was just way sicker than I thought; it was a fever hallucination.

A man vanished before I could reach him
I work security.
During the weekdays Im doing parking, while weekends Im at the desk solo.
Ill always remember this one Saturday.
When I took my hand away from the button he started to walk away.
The only thing that was in that direction was more freaking wall.
So to this day whenever Im watching the cameras, Im waiting for this guy.
