I Install Home Security Cameras. These are my SCARIEST Stories
Summary
Chet, a home security technician, recounts five unexplainable incidents where cameras captured entities or events absent from physical reality, including a smiling man, wet footprints, a phantom door, and figures visible only in night vision. These anomalies persisted across different brands and locations, defying standard technical troubleshooting. The episode concludes with Chet’s decision to stop installing interior cameras after a final job revealed a creature in a customer’s attic, leaving him unable to explain the source of the footage.
