and gave me permission to post for him this was shortly after my friend left for work the girl in the video is his wife and she's walking outside to do laundry out of nowhere she hears a voice asking for help or something she says she heard the voice as if it was coming from outside directly behind her not from the ring device speakers she turns and looks in the direction she heard it from and there's nothing but a near wall their dog can also be heard whining in the background she was really freaked out by the whole thing and called the cops to investigate she had no idea what it was but i was worried it could have been somebody hiding around their property the police listened to this recording and scanned around their house but did not find anything if anybody can enhance the audio or

We have already notified authorities. I'm not interested in identifying these men, but rather understanding their motivations and intentions. Any thoughts, theories, or insight, no matter how small, would be greatly appreciated and would certainly serve to help curtail my anxiety. The OP sends a link to the videos. In the first video, we can see one guy walk up to the door, like the OP said, at 3.30 at night. Obviously, pretty sketchy, late at night. I'm going to blur these guys' faces because I just don't want to be at fault for exposing these guys. That's not my job. Also, the OP even said they didn't need these people identified. We can see this guy walk up and knock on the door. In the second video, we can see two guys here, both hooded. The other guy is looking down, has his hands in his pockets, which is obviously pretty sketchy, but he rings the doorbell. In the third video, we see the guy outside ring the doorbell again, and they're just standing there doing something on their phone. In the fourth video, we see the guy outside ring the doorbell again, and they're just standing there doing something on their phone. In the fifth video, we see the guy outside ring the doorbell again, and they're just standing there doing something on their phone. In the the phone out of his hand and then his phone start flashing but they're still just looking down and then in the fifth video we see this guy holding up um something to the camera i can't see what's on the phone it's just too bright but he's holding up a phone and then pointing at the ring doorbell camera and so very strange behavior especially so late at night um but let's get into the OP's post. The OP says, some background information. We live in a pretty residential neighborhood. This type of activity is not common or expected around here. We are relatively new to the area. Don't go out much and certainly have not made any enemies. The dog that you can hear barking is ours. They were at our door for roughly two minutes. When they did leave, they ran to a vehicle parked on the curb that quickly sped off my current thoughts and observations one gentleman , we see the fifth video, we see the guy outside ring the doorbell again, and they're just standing there doing something on their phone. In the , , , what all is being said? There are some quiet parts that I can't quite understand. Do you think these gentlemen intended to hurt my family? Do you think these is still present danger to be mindful of? And then the OP makes an edit to the post saying, thank you all for your contributions. I've learned a lot and thought of this in several angles I previously hadn't considered. I would like to share some screenshots that I thought might be good food for thought. And now let's take a look at the OP's screenshots. In the first screenshot, we can see the one guy standing there in front looking down at the phone, I assume. And then the guy behind him, it looks like his hand is possibly in his pocket, possibly with something black that he's pulling out or holding. It's very possible. I'm not sure, though. In the second screenshot, we can see the guy behind the first guy is holding something over his face. Possibly. And then in the third screenshot, nothing looks too crazy or out of the ordinary. And then in the fourth screenshot, it's a screenshot of the guy holding up his phone to the ring camera. And the OP continues and says, nobody seemed to comment on the dark objects that I saw the second gentleman messing with. When he is first shown, there's a large dark object around his face. And then later, it's near him. If you watch his hands and how he moves them just before taking the cell phone, it looks like he's stashing something in his hoodie pockets to free up his hands. And he keeps returning his hands to his hoodie pocket. He also opts to receive the phone with his left hand, despite later showing signs that he prefers the right for using the phone. I'm speculating that is because his other hand was occupied with something at that moment. The last screenshot, I believe to be validation of the theory that he was showing an unsent Snapchat slash TikTok video of some sort of find my phone app. It clearly looks like a little red pinpoint on a map. this subreddit has been awesome and i so greatly appreciate everyone giving their feedback and i'm quite impressed with the theories and information you all were able to procure after consuming all of the theories and evidence thus far i'd like to propose my final guess of what happened here i recognize this might come across as near schizophrenic levels of biased rambling and conjecture so i want to get ahead of this by letting everyone know i'm mentally well and not developing any serious paranoia or anything of that nature this is mostly crazy speculation for the purpose of my own enjoyment and amusement at this point it's like at the end of a murder mystery movie where the detective gives the final summary of how the crime took place that feels like something in this subreddit might enjoy so i figured i would share it with you guys and i'd be happy to share it with you guys as well so i'd be happy to share it with you guys as well so i'd be happy to share it with you guys as well here it goes three plus gentlemen are in need and resort to a premeditated robbery they research some known scams and devise a plan to rob a house using the stolen phone scam to entice a victim into opening their door after the victim opens the door they plan to ambush him and enter the house for a quick smash and grab style robbery gentleman a is the getaway driver and will stay in the house for a quick smash and grab style robbery gentleman a is the getaway driver and will stay in the house for a quick smash and grab style robbery and will stay in the vehicle ready to make a quick escape gentleman b which is who we first see in the footage is to knock on the door and do the job of convincing the victim to open the door and ultimately ambushing the victim when they do gentleman c which is who we see in the background in the footage has the job of staying just out of sight from the victim and will spring out possibly armed to assist in the ambush they stroll to the other side of town and select a house the execution gentleman c gets into position while gentleman b approaches the door gentleman b knocks and then realizes that the victim has a doorbell camera and is taken a bit off guard gentleman b thinks back to their research and preparation and comes to the conclusion that showing the video evidence of the lost phone is the best persuasive tactic to get the victim to open the door this quick thinking leaves gentleman c rattled as the plan was for him to remain hidden which has now gone awry gentleman c is unsure how to proceed and joins gentleman b at the doorstep gentleman c knowing that he is now in the line of sight of the victim and being asked to handle the phone opts to conceal his weapon and remove his glove they fumble with the phone for a minute trying to find the video during which they get a text from gentleman a telling them to abort mission because they're deviated too far from the plan gentleman b and c recognize they scuffed their attempt and coupled with the barking from a menacing dog they recognize this attempt will not bear fruit and should be abandoned gentleman b not wanting to be at fault for the botched attempt wanting to be received as given an honest effort and possibly in an attempt to educate gentleman c of how it should go in future attempts gentleman b is now in the line of sight of the victim and is now in the line of sight of the victim and is now in the line of sight of the victim and is now in the line of sight of the victim's attempts proceeds with a short-lived showing of the video shortly after gentleman a pulls the car forward and shouts to let the gentleman know it's time to leave they run to the car and make a speedy escape my second guess would be mostly the same but instead of setting out to commit premeditated robbery they genuinely thought their phone had been stolen and devised a similar plan to strong arm it back from the thief what do y'all think have i gone mad or does that seem like a possible explanation again i'm by no means confident that is what took place i recognize it's conjecture i'm just having fun playing detective and i'm curious to hear thoughts about it and now let's get into some of the top comments one user says on the last video it sounds like he's saying something about a lost phone he may be showing the find my phone app to the camera the apple app is notorious for showing a lost device at a totally random address could it be that they were asking if you'd found their phone good that you didn't open the door though i never opened the door to strangers especially at night and i just honestly completely disagree with this theory even though it's the most upvoted theory on here because if this was at like 3 p.m in the day or even on the weekend that's a different story these guys are showing up at 3 30 in the morning wearing hoodies playing in their pockets very sketchily and also have a you know a getaway driver in the back obviously like if anyone is making an honest attempt to find their lost phone you know they might not show up to someone's house at three in the morning like that's really sketchy um and if these guys were you know actually looking for their lost phone they wouldn't show up in the middle of the night maybe it's just me but i feel like you know these guys are up to no good but another user replies and says yeah he's trying to show his screen to the camera because he knows the camera is capturing but he seems to think he's being watched live he says i'm gonna try to show you this one more time i know you're seeing this bit because i see the red lights on it does sound like he maybe sees so i know y'all got my phone but it's tough to tell for sure if only what's on his phone screen could actually be seen properly i concur with what other person had said below that it looks like what he has open is snapchat and he's showing a video that has been recorded but not sent or posted it really does seem like the most likely explanation based on this is that they're trying to track a lost or stolen phone here's another reason i'm ready to believe that simply because the guy speaking doesn't have one which is why he has to borrow the other guys and that's also why he's showing a video on his phone and he's showing a video of him talking to someone and he's showing a video of him talking to a friend's phone instead of a find my phone app screen directly like they filmed this screen when he was tracking this phone on his pc or something if that makes sense op i never saw anyone holding something dark when i looked for it it's weird that the only one kid has one glove on but aside from that being odd and the time obviously being way late my personal opinion is that there's nothing here that would indicate ill intent as you said they're clearly not worried about being seen or on camera their body language is relaxed etc just my opinion okay am i losing my mind because how does this commenter say and like how is this one of the top upvoted comments but this person says there's nothing here that would indicate ill intent like what other signs do you need two hooded guys plus a getaway driver showing up at 3 30 at night one guy wearing glove at least one glove possibly multiple gloves and i think he took one off and then also the op did show screenshots of the black thing the one guy was holding up which could be who knows what like come on these guys are obviously sketchy and if they were like i said if they were honestly looking for their phone they would show up in the middle of the day like anyone and say hey excuse me sir do you have my phone maybe like the phone was taken under odd circumstances and he thinks this is some sort of you know robbery and he wants to rob it back in a like call the police in that um regard um this just seems really really sketchy and someone replies and says when the second guy was handing the phone over it looks sketchy for a fraction of a second i'd have thought the worst if it was my house late at night but it's clear it's just the phone when you keep watching it's much easier to figure out these things when panic and fear are not factors i agree that they didn't look like they were planning on doing anything wrong and the op response and says they did not return the following day or night nor have they attempted to contact me since i think the they were looking for their stolen phone theory is the most plausible explanation thus far although if that were the case i really wish they would have contacted me in a different way or even plainly spoken their intentions while they were being recorded they do appear to be young though and i suppose you can't always expect young people to act rationally and then one commenter says i'm leaning on the side that this may have been a scam like i understand wanting to get your phone back and i know everyone has different work schedules but who in their right mind goes knocking on doors at 3 a.m nothing good happens at that hour someone mentioned in another comment that there is a current known scam going around that involves an iphone being in your home you did the right thing by not opening the door op so i'm leaning on the side that this may have been a scam like i understand wanting to get your phone back and i know everyone has different work schedules but who in their right mind goes knocking on doors at 3 a.m nothing good happens at that hour someone mentioned in another comment that there is a current known scam going around that involves an iphone being in your home you did the right thing by not opening the door op and another user says it seems very odd to show up at 3 a.m i'd feel alarmed too even if they are sure their phone is at your address are they thinking they'd strong arm you for it a friend of mine who lived alone had police knock on her door asking to search for a stolen laptop linked to her ip address they found it's in the crawl space under her house with evidence someone has been living there oh my god that is horrifying there was also some weird hatch with access to the house through a closet floor oh my god she was horrified and had no idea idea someone was there that's just a horrifying little side story by this comment like that's my worst nightmare that is horrific and someone replies and says this is scariest f-omg i'm happy she's okay did they ever find the dude and the commenter says nope and the commenter replies and says even creepier and finally another user says definitely nefarious also stupid you would be well within your rights to answer the door with a shotgun in your hand and another user says stay locked and loaded and the op responds and says i've owned a firearm ever since i was legally allowed to and never once felt like i even needed to fetch it until that night honestly this whole encounter made me realize it wouldn't be all that hard for someone to break in and enter my home faster than i was able to fetch and ready my weapon you obviously some youngsters knocking on my door at a late hour isn't grounds to kill but i do feel that it has justified my decision to purchase a firearm all those years ago because just having it available and ready eases a lot of my concerns and anxiety that night seems like reddit has a real negative disposition towards gun ownership but i guarantee if you'd pull these same people immediately after having an encounter like i did which relatively speaking wasn't even that scary of an encounter they'd all opt to have a weapon by their side in that moment and we have never received another update from the op but whose theory do you think is the most likely the you know these guys showing up late at night just looking for a phone innocently or something more nefarious like the theory the op detailed i think i'm inclined to agree with the op here these guys were definitely up to something sketchy came home to a paper towel over my webcam twice now i live alone and the op includes two photos of uh paper towel over their webcam and the first one is just you know obviously a paper towel over the webcam and the second one is the same thing very weird and let's get into the body of the post the op says twice now i've come home from work to a paper towel over my webcam in my bedroom upstairs only thing unlocked was my window my fault which is on the second floor first time was about two weeks ago it was just laid over top second picture tonight was the second time all crinkled up over the camera nothing is missing nothing else has moved or messed with that i noticed nobody else that i'm aware of has the keys to my apartment it's like someone's trying to pull a harmless prank and is just trying to do something super small but super obvious that i would notice i have two cats and they're totally unharmed and acting like nothing has happened and now let's get into some of the top points of the op's second post which is a update titled update found a paper towel covering my webcam twice coming home from work and the op attaches a photo of the second post of the op which is a little bit different from the first post which is a little bit different from the second post which is a little bit different from the second post which is a little bit different from the second post which is a little bit different from the second post which is a little bit different of a carbon monoxide alarm, and it says zero. So I assume the OP just wanted to rule out the fact that they were suffering from, you know, any sort of carbon monoxide poisoning, which it looks like they aren't, thank goodness. But let's get into the post. The OP says, I had zero idea that post would blow up the way it did. A lot of y'all were super helpful too. I did buy a carbon monoxide detector and a security camera to hide in my room. The carbon monoxide detector is reading zero. So it's not carbon monoxide poisoning. I was off work today. I go back tomorrow and I'll see if the camera catches anything. I've been asked if I rent or own. I rent a one bed apartment that only me and the landlord have keys to. Even maintenance needs to be let in by him or me. Now that carbon monoxide poisoning is ruled out, I figure it might be my landlord letting himself in. If not him, then potentially a previous tenant that has a copy of the keys. I've been asked if I take any sort of sleep medication or if I sleepwalk. I don't take any sleep medication. And as far as I'm aware, I do not sleepwalk. I sleep on FaceTime slash video call with my boyfriend on my phone, not with the webcam. And we haven't noticed me sleepwalking. I've been told to check my apartment naturally and I've turned the place upside down looking for any sort of possible entrance in and out of it. And there is absolutely nothing. I've checked behind furniture, all around my closet, in every cabinet, even behind both bathroom mirrors because I saw another comment mention a possible entrance behind a mirror. I can't find anything. I can't find any possible entrance or crawl space. So I'm assuming it's someone with a key. I've been asked if the paper towels are the same ones I have. And yes, they are the same ones I have downstairs in my kitchen. I was told to check my browser history and I did. Nothing on there that wasn't for me. A lot of people pointed out how I don't sound as concerned as I should. And believe me, I know. I have a bunch of other stuff going on in my life at the moment. And I'm completely drained to the point where something like this isn't phasing me nearly as much as it should. It's definitely got me scared, but unfortunately, it doesn't surprise me that life would throw something crazy like this at me. I also unfortunately have nowhere to really stay at while I get this figured out. I moved out of state away from my family two years ago and I have no family or friends here. Good news at least is I'm moving back with my family soon and getting away from it. I will post another update if the camera catches anything. I plan to have it start recording if motion is detected while I'm gone at work. And now let's get into some of the top comments. One user says, you're a girl, right? It's your landlord. 100%. I'm locking that in. Final answer. And another user says, a simple trick to let you know if someone has a problem with you or if someone has opened your door is to close a small piece of paper inconspicuously in the door when you leave. Note its position exactly. If someone opens the door, it'll fall out. They won't know where to replace it if they see it. And another user says, has anyone suggested that the mystery visitor might have set up a surveillance camera of their own? I hate the idea, but it seems worth consideration. And someone replied, and says, oh my God, I didn't think about that. OP said they looked for crawl spaces, but if they weren't looking for a camera, they might not have noticed it. They make tiny cameras nowadays that looks like buttons and stuff too. I really hope nothing like that is the case, especially with OP already going through so much, but they should investigate. I believe if you shine a flashlight around, you have a better chance of spotting a camera, but maybe I am just making this up. And someone else says, if it's not carbon monoxide or sleeping pills, 99% sure it's the landlord. It was always the most likely answer. Usually some crappy landlord with a crappy excuse like, I want to make sure you're taking care of the place. And usually illegal as F in the States. Putting the napkin over the webcam reeks of a landlord thinking they have the right to do whatever they want because they own the place. And another user says, it's probably the landlord. Make sure the webcam is recording when you leave. It'll probably see who is leaving the napkin on it. Yeah? Or a nanny cam. And the OP responds and says, my train of thought for now is to leave it how I normally do so they don't suspect anything different and come cover it up again. The camera I bought and set up earlier today is pointed at my desk and will end up catching their face clear as day as they come up the stairs or move around their room. They can't reach it to cover it or knock it over without it catching their face first. And unfortunately, we have never received another update from the OP. And this is just one of the ones that is just, come on, I wish we had an update. Like, how did we not have an update to this? Like, this is so creepy. And also a lot of the commenters are right. How is the OP not more concerned about this? Like, if I walked into my apartment and found a painting, paper towel covering my webcam, I would genuinely call the police and then instantly get, uh, you know hitting cameras or maybe even just consider moving out right away like that is just nightmare fuel to know someone is creeping around your apartment and is also cognizant enough to put a paper towel over it but also like they're they're brazen enough to not take the paper towel away whenever they leave like why would they leave it there you know what i mean like there's so many questions we haven't answered and who was it but unfortunately this was posted 10 months ago with no updates so what do you guys think any way to track down a camera i don't check my p.o box very often it's purely to get work emails and fan stuff things like that i went there the other day and amongst all the letters and stuff was a small box with my name and p.o box but no return the postal stamp was from this area and it had a ton of letters and stuff and i was like what the hell is going on here and it had a ton of Forever stamps stuck to it. I opened it up and inside was a beat-to-hell Nixon Coolpix L2. I will add photos later. My husband took it and the box to work to show his friends to see if they could get the picture off. The camera didn't have an SD card in it, so I figured it was empty. I took it home and put two AA batteries in it and when I turned it on there were a few pictures stored on it which I didn't know was a thing that could happen. The first image was a close-up of some sunflowers which I googled the user manual and it seems to be a default image that comes with the camera so people can mess with it or learn how to edit or whatever. The second and only other picture on the camera was of me. It was a very old picture. I was probably 15 to 16 years old in the picture and sitting on a porch. I have zero memory of and I'm in my undies holding a can of beer. I was a bit of a party animal in high school and started early but I never really got blackout drunk or super messed up on pills or anything. It's hard to tell on the small window but it looks like almost like it might be an image of an image. There's some weird questions though. My husband is trying to find the right cable at his office to download the image so we can check metadata but I'm in my early 20s now so if it was taken when i was 16 the camera would have been pretty obsolete since these things came out in the mid-2000s no one in my family or any of my old friends would have access to my po box without some serious digging around and connecting the dots which i guess is possible but probably not i have no memory of the place or the undies i'm wearing but like i said i partied a lot so i can just blow that off as bad memory my guess is that one of my high school friends found me online not knowing who i was then connected the dots and mailed me this camera but i'm not sure what message that is sending since there was no message with it any thoughts and then the op makes an edit to the post saying edit my husband found the metadata was only the date the picture was taken which was two weeks ago from today the rest of the info was the size of the photo and color profile nothing else really interesting but they downloaded the full resolution version and we were able to look at it on a big screen it is a picture of a picture it appears to be a digital photo taken of a non-glossy film photo or maybe printed digital photo edit number two the officer who came by our house to take a statement was not cool at all he said we were wasting his time and there's zero evidence of a crime or any intention of a crime he said it was probably just family sending me an old camera then we got a pretty lengthy lecture about people wasting department resources when there are so many serious things going on in the city i asked him about fingerprints and he said it would be foolish everyone at the post office would have touched it by then and there's not even a reason because there was no crime he said it would be like if someone left flowers on my doorstep anonymously and then i tried to have them arrested edit number three i started thinking a lot more about all of this and looking at pictures from the time there was a guy who i had a bit of a fling with back then around that time and he was very mad when i left town my cousin said he's a born-again christian now and kind of weird he was pretty much suspect number one and i reached out to him on facebook to ask if it was him he denied and said he didn't understand what i meant my cousin said his dad is a complete weirdo and perv and would be more than likely to do something like this and i remembered his dad buying us all beer back in the day a few times and i remembered him being a total perv and so he is pretty much number one suspect right now and now let's get into some of the top comments one user says you say you get fan stuff so you're popular in one way or another is it possible this could be a manipulated photo and someone trying to get a thrill by scaring you it makes me wonder since you have no recollection of the actual picture and the op responds and says it's definitely me i remembered another photo i had of my cousin and i hugging from that same time frame and i compared my hair and stuff and it's all the same the photo looks pretty legit to me and a commenter replies and says did your cousin ever get back to you about the porch area and the obie responds and says yep so one of my cousins remembered the porch the other didn't it was the porch of a guy who i was hooking up with when we were there i even reached out and spoke to the guy he says he knew nothing about it and seemed legit my cousin reminded me that the guy's father was a serious creep who bought us beer a lot and took pictures of us and stuff i have a feeling some shady stuff happened there and i suppressed the memory and the creepy dad came across my of account and is reaching out in a messed up way and another user says are you only wearing undies in the photo you don't mention the top. This is incredibly frightening. Is there any way this person could be trying to intimidate you with more maybe suggestive photos? I think I would call the police. This person calculated shipping costs by using a ton of stamps, meaning they didn't go into the post office and I have the mail carrier weigh it and send it out from the postal facility directly. Freaky. Also, let me add this, I owned a few Nixon cameras in the early 2000s. Electronics were a lot more expensive back then. The majority of the units I purchased came with warranties. These were things you had to fill out and send back into the company in order to validate your ownership of the camera. People were still stealing electronics in the early 2000s because they had value. Registration was important and the op responds and says i was wearing a bra and undies it is very clearly me i know there are a lot of suggestive photos of me out there i was a top of model for three years but with a fake name i think in this scenario if they had explicit photos of me when i was too young they would be the ones having a bad time my husband wants to check the metadata on the photo before we bring it to the police into the whole thing but thinking back to that time frame in my life the people who could have taken the photo are pretty limited even though i have no recognition of the porch it seems like a more rural type porch and there was a brief window of my life when i lived with my cousin in a small town and it was around that time and another user replies and says i would go above that officer's head and tell someone above his supervisor that you were not happy with how the police handled your call, and that you are worried this might be the result of a stalker fixated on you. And being lectured about wasting police time was not the best way to handle this. Tell them you feel like you weren't taken seriously because of how easily it is for men to brush off other men harassing women, and how distressed you are by their lack of concern for well-being. As crappy as it sounds, try to find a woman in the local government who has some jurisdiction around police, who might help you make a stand for your right to safety from harassment. Also, if you're in your hometown, this cop might know the guy who took the photo. They could have been high school buddies, and the guy who found your OF would have likely shared it with all of his friends from high school, saying, hey, remember OP? And the OP says, I'm not in my hometown. I am in Los Angeles. I'm not pursuing that, though. He was pretty clear they had bigger stuff to do. And someone else says, I'm just spitballing here, but that someone else says, I'm just spitballing here, but if you had that much of a presence on OF I'm guessing it's an obsessed fan of yours maybe someone who knew you from before who had a crush on you and also followed your OF account maybe a stretch but maybe he slash she was the one who took the picture in the first place at the party or something had a crush on you way back and held on to it then for whatever reason decided to send this to you why they'd send you the whole camera rather than a printout or something is beyond me the whole thing is pretty odd but also concerning if the person is obsessed with you and seems mentally disturbed hopefully it's just a stupid prank or something though is this the first time you've gotten anything remotely odd like this and someone replies and says I definitely think there's an OF connection could be as simple as someone going through a friend's old photos finding the picture and recognizing you and yeah from there it all starts to sound a bit loony but a fan finding you a before you were famous photo and thinking that might give them a real world in with you wouldn't be unusual and the OP responds and says I agree with this there was a guy I had a fling with that summer he was a weirdo super religious but I closed my OF a year ago because my followers there were becoming too aggressive and it was out of control I'd get grabbed by dudes in person while at stores and stuff I got a ridiculous amount of bizarre things in my PO box ranging from used contraceptives to intimate toys to weird drawings to cookies now I threw it all away and haven't gotten anything for about 10 months and we have never received another update from the OP how to catch a serial prowler there is a prowler in my neighborhood USA who has been bothering myself and my neighbors he mainly uses our abutted backyards the tree lines and the benefit of darkness to go from house to house he disables security lights and cameras by reaching up and moving them he switches off my security light he wears a hoodie track suit with the hood up and a baseball cap underneath so the images I did get were useless he is also very familiar with the landscape seems to know where all of the cameras and lights are and is good at staying out of range so far he has just been a nuisance he keeps going into my neighbor's yard to tease their dog was messing with his kid's bedroom window wow that is terrifying crossed into my yard tilted my camera down then came onto my porch and moved my security light and switched off my motion detection old model light before continuing to another neighbor's yard so far he has not broken in anywhere that we know of but seems to have a route that he travels my neighbor caught him in his yard previously yelled at him repeatedly to leave the house and he said I'm not going to leave the house but the prowler ran when my neighbor was getting shoes and a weapon the prowler came back to the same yard a few nights later another neighbor reported he had moved her cameras before she caught him looking in her windows he ran when she yelled and began calling the police oh my god who is this psychopath this is terrifying but the op continues and says the police have not been able to help or catch him but four other neighbors on our block have had their cameras slash lights moved two of them have had their window screens removed so it is not looking good this is just a hunch but I believe it is the young adult child of a former neighbor because the main house that he keeps returning to is his former residence the kid had an issue with trespassing on neighbor's property when he lived here he found the house and he said I'm not going to leave the house he felt entitled to jump fences and cross through yards like he owned them and would get really mouthy when caught and told to stop does anyone have a good idea for how to legally catch slash stop him and now let's get into some of the top comments one user says safely and legally keep calling police maybe adjust light slash cameras to make it harder to hide from all of them most importantly you can't hide from all of them you can't hide from all of them you can't hide from all of them you can't hide from all of them you can't hide from all of them you and your neighbors need to collectively realize this is not just a nuisance he's messing with your kids windows taking out screens nah this is a seriously potentially a dangerous situation I would be adding cameras putting out a trail cam in an unexpected place example your regular security camera is at the corner of the house facing the back deck the trail cam goes on a post of the deck so it still catches images when he's reaching the house and he's at the corner of the house I would probably be asking for extra patrols on my street and I would be watching for any patterns in his appearances and try to be a step ahead and the OP responds and says thank you for your response you are right it is more than a nuisance I am very concerned and afraid because I think he is becoming bolder I will take your recommendations and share them with the neighbors the police have been asked to increase patrols and have but are not taking this as seriously as they should several of the neighbors including me are older women so when they don't immediately catch the prowler they imply that we are imagining things and have outright told the new neighbors that we are crying wolf I don't know how they explain the guy seeing him in his yard or the window screens and someone else says if it can be switched off from outside it is not a security light you can move your camera inside of a window so it can't be reached you can set up a motion activated sprinkler they are made to spray deer with water to get them out of your yard I'm sure the prowler would not enjoy getting soaked and the OP responds and says it's an old security light maybe from 1995 the prowler moves the direction of the lights to themselves up or completely unscrews them then moves the switch to between the motion detection setting and the always on setting it works perfectly for decades and was never moved to reset since it was installed it is hardwired not accessible by animals and the controls are unaffected by weather so someone has moved it several times and someone replies and says so it's within their reach not something they need a ladder for are your neighbors close enough together that you can have a security camera and motion lights that could cover someone else blind spots and the OP responds and says he walks onto my back porch then stands on his toes and reaches up to disable the light he is tall and someone replies and says this is terrifying update your security and get some bright motion activated lights installed at the roofline update all of your door and window locks make sure you never leave your garage door or anything else unlocked don't leave your car unlocked if you park outside recommend all of the neighbors to do the same you are not overreacting most serial killers start out by creeping yards and breaking into houses of vulnerable people and another user says do not dismiss this type of behavior as just a nuisance every profiler knows this is how dangerous predators start call the cops every time if this person has a routine that can be predicted you may want to request LE presence on the evenings where he's expected keep a journal this will be helpful for the future for LE and the OP responds and says I agree I guess I felt that since the police were not terribly concerned and had thought that we were overreacting I minimize the situation it is serious the prowler does seem to be active on warm nights starting around 10 p.m. and on weekends and no offense to the OP here but like how do you not think this is a serious issue this freak this psychopath this deranged lunatic is crawling up to people's kids windows looking in removing screens possibly trying to unlock windows and get in and like do God knows what inside of your house or getting into your kids room like this person is as dangerous as you know any other criminal or psycho I don't know how the OP is like you know this is just a nuisance no this guy is a psychopath and someone else says it sounds like the Golden Gate Killer and also Richard Ramirez scary and the OP responds and says it is scary I'm hoping it's just a dumb kid thoughtlessly running around out of boredom and not someone with real mental problems and someone replies and says the person is removing screens in kids bedrooms has anyone woken up to this also moving lights is pretty brazen touching a kid's window or anything anyone's really can be perceived as threatening. You don't know if someone would shoot an intruder. This seems intentional, and not like a game or a joke or kids playing outside and trying to win capture the flag no matter the cost. No one would touch someone's light or go near a window. If you suspect a person, maybe look into them and see if they are around when they aren't supposed to be. Follow them, maybe? And someone else says, number one, it seems odd that so many of you placed your cameras in places a prowler can reach. Number two, think liminally. Where is he entering the neighborhood from? Start there. It is where you are most likely to get unmasked images and license plate. Number three, footprints. He can't help but leave them, so take pictures when he does. Number four, decoy and lure. They make deep-seated shots of people in the area. Number five, they can't help but leave them. Number six, they can't help but leave them. Number seven, they can't help but leave them. Number eight, they can't help but leave them. Number nine, they can't help but leave them. Number ten, they can't help but leave them. Use them to give the real cameras protective cover. Depending on how the neighborhood support you have, they could also serve to lure prowler into setting off alarms. Number five, patterns. Keep notes of and cross-reference where and when he is seen with other neighbors. There will be a pattern of some sort. And the OP responds and says, the problem is that I need access to the cameras to charge and service them, so they need to be within my reach. This put them within reach of the prowler, too. I wish there was a camera designed to sit in a sill and video out the window at night. It would solve a load of problems. And then the OP comes back a few days later with an update titled, Update. I took the advice of Redditors and spoke directly with the police chief. We had a very productive conversation. I had been under the impression that the patrol officers didn't believe me. I had believed myself and other neighbor concerning the prowler, but was assured by the chief that he did believe us and was investigating. He stated that one of the neighbors who'd had repeated issues with the prowler was waiting to contact patrol. The delay was making it more difficult to catch the prowler in the act. I expressed that. I'd also hesitated to call the police because I had felt dismissed and disbelieved on previous incidents. The chief stated that he wanted us to call immediately, every time, no matter the hour. I relayed this to my neighbors. A few nights ago, the prowler returned to the neighborhood. He entered the house of my neighbor through their back door. The neighbors were sitting at their kitchen table. They yelled and immediately called the police. The prowler backed out of the door and ran. The police encountered him walking towards a bar a few blocks away. Since the neighbor didn't catch him on a camera, he was not caught on our property. He didn't take anything or hit the neighbor. In state laws, they were unable to arrest him. They did ID him, though. We were told that the officers told him that they know he is a prowler and warned him to stay out of the neighborhood and out of people's yards and homes. I am very disappointed that he was not arrested, but the police now know who he is. Hopefully, he will heed the warnings now that he has been identified. One user says, Good lord, that is brazen. To enter an occupied structure. Peeping toms and prowlers always escalate. I'm glad the police know who he is now. And the OP responds and says, Yes, it is outlandish and very scary. And someone replies and says, I seriously don't understand why if there were witnesses home when he entered the property that they needed camera footage. That seems like complete bull. They should be able to press charges. I'd almost recommend contacting a lawyer. This police department sounds like a bunch of clowns who are trying to avoid paperwork. Also seems like a quick way to get shot with how many people own firearms in this country. Insane. And the OP responds and says, I don't understand either. Why can't the homeowners testify? Hopefully, the prosecutor will bring charges at a later date. And someone else says, this is a very scary individual. If you have time, gather and consolidate the information and police reports from all of your neighbors and insist that your law enforcement contact include it in the report. Include dates, times, locations. Continue to keep your own journal. Sometimes separate incident reports involving the same individual won't cause law enforcement to connect the dots. Even if the same agency handles them, the individual may have a large number of incident complaints, but he won't be viewed as prolific if investigators only see a single report at a time. Yes, it's their job, but you can help by keeping them informed. And we have never heard from the OP ever again, but oh my God, is this just a terrifying Reddit thread? Because not only, you know, everything this prowler was doing, but also the fact that he entered someone's home for whatever reason, the police found him, but he just wasn't arrested. So this guy can just go back to doing it tomorrow or in a different neighborhood or, you know, whatever. Like this guy is a psychopath and he keeps going back over and over and over again. He must be getting a thrill out of it of some sort, you know, looking into kids' windows, you know, taking off screens of windows. God, that is just, that is horrifying. This really is scary. And it is even scarier how the police didn't, you know, arrest him. But hopefully he's in jail now. You know, for, you know, maybe he gets picked up later on and hopefully the OP and her neighborhood is safe. Most terrifying night of my life. Warning, graphic details. So I'm going to get it out there because it's been too heavy on my shoulders since almost a month now. And sorry for the mistakes. English is not my first language. The night of the night, of the national day here in my country, after having a nice meal with some friends, my boyfriend asked me to go check on one of his friend, father slash son kind of relationship. Since he's not feeling well, he has some sort of heart condition. So on our way home, we stopped by his place around 10 at night. We got there, drank a beer and chatted with him, his wife and his stepson for a moment. After about 45 minutes, we were about to leave when we eared a crazy howling coming from outside in front of the house. In retrospect, it sounded so much like a zombie's growling. His stepson opened the door and asked what was going on, but he doesn't even have time to finish his sentence. Then a man erupts at the door covered in blood. I mean, dark black, dried blood, but so much. I thought he had a dark skin tone since he was so much covered of black, dried blood. Took me about 30 seconds. Seems like five minutes, but surely took only 30 seconds realizing it was all dried blood coming from these gigantic slashes he had on his head, not his skin color. I must say he looked and sounded exactly like more of a zombie than a zombie. I mean, he looked and sounded exactly like more of a zombie than a zombie. It's the French word for zombies and literally translates as dead alive. That's exactly what he was. A walking dead. He had three deep gashes on his head. The biggest was on the middle from his forehead to the back of his head. Two inch wide at the largest. I drew him to get it out of my mind. I will share it if you want to see it. And I will share it if you want to see it. I will share it at the end of this story, guys. And it is a terrifying drawing, but let's continue. So the guy just screams and yells and falls to the ground and everybody freezes like in movies. I jumped on the guy. Instinct kicks in and we bring him out. Me and my boyfriend without looking back. We were in the car in less than a minute for sure. I can't really explain what went through my mind, but I knew that if we were not on the way to the hospital right away, we would have to he would not survive. I sat him on the front passenger seat so I could keep him awake while my boyfriend drove. I called 911 the minute we got on the road so they can send an ambulance meet us on our way to the hospital. But the agent on the phone started asking me to pull the car over on the side of the highway and wait for the ambulance to arrive, which we haven't done since the guy was dying in my arms. We got to the hospital before the ambulance arrived. I was told to call the ambulance and the police, but as soon as we got there, some medics who were already outside came and helped him right away. The police then arrived at the hospital and took our deposition. But guess what happened next? The guy we brought to the hospital falls into a coma after 30 minutes there, before the police could interrogate him. From that moment on, the police started the procedures for a homicide investigation and we were then considered as prime suspects. Last witnesses of a possible murder. They finally led us home at 4 a.m. a.m and came back the next day for asking further questions and letting us know that they knew we were not related to the crime they also informed us that the guy escaped the hospital the next morning in a cab that the attack was probably gang related that those gashes were probably done by a machete and he survived the attack because he was on h or various drugs i will never forget that night and those screams holding on to the fact that i saved a life and then the op adds so here's the link to the drawing i made and the black is not shadow and the picture looks like as follows yeah that is just terrifying we can see these huge drawn gashes on his head and how his entire face was caked in blood um that is just beyond horrifying but it is still unknown how or why that guy was caked in blood and showed up at the op's door and we have to wait and see what happens next but we have to wait and see what happens next we have never heard from the op ever again knocking at my door at night posted to r slash rbi throwaway account the past few weeks i'm woken up to knocking at my front door my bedroom was very close to it all all that's between my bed and the entryway to the house is one wall my bedroom window can see onto the front porch but at such an angle that i can't see the door itself only the space directly in front of it my parents whose bedroom is in the basement don't hear the knocking neither does my little brother but he's at the other end of the house my sister is almost as close to the front door as i am and while she doesn't hear the knocking she has been complaining about not sleeping well lately more details about the knocking it tends to happen very late at night or early technically during the week i'm in bed at 10 or 10 30 so i can be up for work at six everyone else is in bed at the same time or shortly thereafter on the weekends i'm up a few hours later but everyone else's sleep schedules stay the same when i go to bed early the knocking seems to happen at around 12 or 1 but when i'm up late it's not until 12 or 1 that i can hear the knocking and when i'm up late it's not until closer to three this makes me think that whoever is knocking is somehow trying to get my attention maybe they even know that i'm near enough to the door to hear them better than the rest of my family maybe they're trying to wake me up or interfere with my sleep so they wait until i'm asleep just an idea the knocking is fairly quiet another reason it might be targeted at me so i hear it but not anyone else it's loud enough to wake me up but without filling the whole house it doesn't seem to follow any sort of pattern just a typical three or four knocks like you'd use to normally knock on a door i usually wake up mid-knock making me think that whoever is doing it has probably already been knocking for a few minutes before i wake up but that's just a guess and i really have no way of knowing once i'm awake it continues every couple of minutes for 10 or 15 minutes before stopping suddenly sometimes even mid-knock i have tried looking out of my window to see who is there but whoever it is stays out of my view from the window in no way am i going to the open the door to see who's there i can see however that the screen door is being held open so they can knock on the wood door oh my god that is so creepy it could just be some prankster but it has been happening for close to three weeks now that seems like a lot of time and effort especially so late at night just to get no reaction before you ask i'm going to buy a night vision camera if it doesn't stop soon it is a lot of money but at this point it is worth it if it helps and yes i have told the police but they say there isn't a lot they can do they have sent patrol cars by a few times but they don't see anything those nights the knocking comes late but it still comes they say they will continue to help however they can but they can't dedicate a unit to watch in my house since they don't have any evidence of what is happening besides my testimony if anyone has any ideas please share them i am getting desperate whoever this is seems determined to torment me and i am helpless to stop them i will take any and all advice thank you and now let's get into some of the top comments one user says that's spooky as hell sorry you're dealing with that for the record i have two nest cameras they are a little pricey but very reliable and the quality is good good luck and the op responds and says that's probably what i will be getting since there's no sign of anything changing i really don't want to spend the money but it's a lot better than living with this or even worse whatever they might do next and another user says if you can see the screen door being held open why don't you just wait until they're done to see who closes it and the op responds and says that's a really obvious idea can't believe i didn't think of it i'm trying this tonight we'll post pictures if i can get any and someone else says have you considered asking your parents if they will stay up with you and a witness the knocking and b open the door when it occurs sorry you're experiencing this i can imagine how scary and frustrating it must be and the op responds and says that's a good idea i hadn't thought of that if they hear it i know i'm not crazy which has been on my mind a lot even though i don't think i am and if they don't then at least i know what's going on i will ask them tonight and post an update tomorrow and someone replies and says for the record you don't have to be crazy to have auditory hallucinations especially when you are half asleep and someone else says how old is your sister i suspect she may have a night time visitor especially seeing the knocking sometimes stops mid-knock and she has been tired lately otherwise go and get your parents when the knocking starts or sit up and watch until the person leaves so you can see who it is this really should be an easy one to solve and the op responds and says she's about the right age but she's extremely conservative and not at all the type and if that were the case the visitor would probably be knocking on her window instead of the door because it's an easy reach but she surprised me before so i could be wrong and that could be what's going on i will have to watch for any signs of that someone else also suggested just watching to see when they leave so that's what i'm going to do tonight hopefully i will be able to get some pictures and someone else says is it possible your mind is playing tricks on you i used to experience something similar when i would wake up in the morning and i could have sworn i heard someone knocking on my door but no one was ever there it wasn't loud but it seemed to happen regularly then i learned about something called exploding head syndrome where people are awakened by what they think are loud noises only nothing is actually there i haven't read a lot about it but from what i've learned it sounds exactly what i experienced and the op responded and said it's possible but unlikely because it continues when i'm fully awake and alert i can even get up and move around the house and still hear it coming from the front door although i don't go near the front door for obvious reasons it definitely could still be something psychological and i'm not going to rule it out but it seems unlikely because it meshes so well with the real world and then the op comes back a few days later with a knocking update and it reads as follows so first the boring stuff i replaced the bulb on my front porch as some people suggested it's working fine now so hopefully that will deter the person i ordered a camera but it won't be here until the weekend me and my dad are also going to install a peephole in the door when we set up the camera so between those three things the front door will be much more secure soon now the internal interesting stuff. Last night, me and my dad both stayed up. He was in the living room, which the front door opens into. He had a clear view of the door, and he kept the blinds drawn and lights off so that it would look like he wasn't there. I was in my room catching up on some college work I've fallen behind on since this whole thing started. If I'm gonna stay up, might as well be productive. All of my lights were off and my blinds were closed, so it should have looked the same as normal from the outside. The night was quiet, no knocking, so at 12.30, I decided to go to sleep. I went to tell my dad, and he said he'd stay up another hour just to be sure then he would go to sleep as well. At about 1.15, he got up to use the bathroom. When he came back, he sat back down on a couch with a clear view of the door. As his eyes adjusted to the dark, he thought he could see something in front of the small window near the top of the door. When he looked closer, he realized it was a person's face. He immediately grabbed his phone and called the police, staying away from the door. After a few minutes of talking, the operator asked him to look at the window again from a distance and try to describe the person, but they were gone by then. The police had sent two squad cars over, one to talk to my dad, and the other patrolled our street and the surrounding streets for anything suspicious. They didn't find anything, but they took my dad's story and talked to me as well. My dad woke me up as soon as he got off the phone with the police. They're going to send patrols down our street at regular intervals throughout the night for tonight, and probably the rest of the week too. My dad didn't see enough detail for a suspect sketch, so all we have to go, is the person is tall enough to look through the window in the door. It's about six feet above the concrete step in front of the door, so the person is probably at least six foot five to get a clear look through it. Part of me hopes they come back and we get a better look. Part of me really hopes they don't. On the bright side, this rules out the possibility of it being animals, house sounds, or just my mind. It's definitely real, and the police are involved now. So I guess it's good to have a better idea of what's happening. But still, it's scaring the crap out of me. I am generally pretty brave. I've wrangled loose venomous snakes and didn't break a sweat, but that's a threat I understand and can predict. I know what a scared animal will do. I've got no power what this prowler will do. I know how to catch and calm a snake. I don't have the slightest idea what this guy wants or what he will do to get it. I don't have the slightest idea what he will do to get it. That's what scares me. Not knowing what's next. I guess all I can do is go to sleep and see what happens next. Wish me luck. Someone says, that is honestly terrifying. Do you know if the person realized your dad saw them? I hope everything works out for you guys and you get to the bottom of this. Please keep us updated if you can. Good luck. And the OP responds and says, that's what we assume happened. Obviously, no way to be certain. I will continue to update every time anything big happens, but not too much so I don't spam. And someone else says, ugh, this is giving me the chills. One of the biggest nighttime fears is seeing a face in the window. Have you reached out to any neighbors to see if they've had any knocking too? And the OP responds and says, not yet, bud. I don't know if they've had any knocking too. But I'm going to. The police said they will as well, but some of their neighbors really don't like the police, so I'm hoping they will talk to me instead. And someone else says, the fact that they came back multiple nights and they're not knocking loud enough to get the attention of the whole house seems to me like they're casing your home, trying to figure out when you guys are asleep and if you'd wake up to certain noises. More than likely, just a simple crook looking for an easy break-in. Make sure you have all your friends and family. I'm sure you'll be able to your valuables locked up just in case. And if your parents don't own, that they at least have renter's insurance. If the person saw your dad, then hopefully they know that you guys know they're coming around and will stop. And someone replies and says, normally, I'd agree, but there's something very off about this. If it was just them trying to case the house, they would have just broken in by now. But rather, they clearly are, watching the house mid-evening on and wait until everyone is asleep to go knock on the door. And someone replies and says, I've had a dude try casing my house over the span of months. Drug addict behavior rarely makes sense. But then the OP comes back a few days later with a final update that reads as follows. Just a short update to let everyone know I'm alright and to respond to comments. First, here's what happened last night. I decided to sleep on the couch with a weapon handy. Baseball bat with a sock as was commonly suggested. Because I felt that my dad deserved a break after last night. It was hard to sleep, but the window was covered, so I felt safe enough to eventually doze off. At one point, I woke up and thought I heard footsteps and or voices outside the door. And I'm pretty sure it was just my anxiety and half asleep. I woke up in the middle of the night. No knocking or other disturbances all night, which is a huge relief. As for the other camera, it's been delayed due to harsh winter weather in my area. So I decided to just cancel the order and found one at a store nearby. I couldn't figure out how to set it up, but a friend of mine who's worked on security systems before is going to come take a look at it later tonight. It should be working fine before I go to bed. A lot of people suggested friends or neighbors to help us catch this guy. That's a great idea. I talk to my neighbors. Most of them don't have surveillance cameras, but those who do, we'll see if they can find anything. One of my friends, the tech guy who's helping me with the camera, is going to set up camp for the night in his car across the street in down a ways. So it's not obvious he's watching our house. His girlfriend will be there too. So hopefully two sets of eyes catches something. Last, I want to quickly address some specific comments. I'm not telling anyone to attack them. I'm not trying to get people riled up. I just think these people make good points and I want to talk about it. Here's the first quote. You'd think with everyone having a camera on their phone, somebody would have recorded something by now. How convenient they haven't, in that the one camera is not here till the weekend. We'll never be mentioned again. Nah, I'm sure this isn't all fiction, guys. And then the OP responds and says, it's true. It does look weird that I don't have any photos, but remember that this happens late at night, past midnight. And this person has shown that they're smart enough to avoid detection. I will have a camera set up tonight. So if they come back again, I will get some evidence. And of course you guys will be the first to see it after the police. The next comment is actually a short chain. It's not that long, but it's too long to paste in. So I'll just summarize. If anyone wants to read the original chain, it's on the last post, but please don't treat this person badly. Basically, they say that everyone is taking this too seriously for how little evidence I have provided. And that's a completely valid point. I can't prove any of this right now. So why should you believe me? I probably wouldn't, honestly. Right now, the only evidence I have is what I've heard and seen and what my dad saw, neither of which I can conclusively prove. I am hoping to get some real evidence tonight. Until then, I suppose you are completely in the right to be skeptical. That's all. Since there was no knocking last night, I'm really hoping there won't be any tonight either. Maybe being spotted scared the guy away. Who knows? I will update tomorrow or the next day, depending on what happens. Thank you all so much for the support. I have read some of the comments on this video. I hope you enjoyed it. If you did, make sure you subscribe to the channel and turn on the notification bell so you don't miss out on any of my future videos. I will see you guys in the next video. Bye! I hope you guys enjoyed it. Bye! and a big trench coat. the opie responds and says that's so much scarier omg and someone else says i'm a trusting person so i believe you sadly and i say sadly because this is literally my worst nightmare i used to live in a major u.s city and had my fair share of terrifying run-ins and close calls it sounds like you're doing everything you can to try to make this stop i know some have mentioned that cameras aren't expensive but too many right now even having a spare 20 can be impossible i hope nothing else happens and that your next update is much more mundane double and triple check window and door locks stay safe opie and unfortunately we have never received another update from the opie and if i had to bet something may have happened this final night or got caught on camera because usually you whenever we see a reddit thread like this where the police get involved and it you know escalates into police involvement the police say hey or the lawyer says hey stop posting this online because it's going to mess up the entire court process that's just a common thing that i see in similar posts like these so is that a possible case yes or was it also possible that the opie was you know attacked in his house at night because this creeper kept showing up but i don't know i'm really curious to hear what you guys think but this is a beyond terrifying reddit thread i mean just the thought of someone showing up night after night knocking on your door trying to wake you up and then peeking through your window that is just a nightmarish image uh to think about but hopefully the opie is okay and hopefully that creeper left him alone i think i found a hidden camera in my friend's bathroom i'm staying at my friend's house for the weekend to spend time with him while he's back from college he currently lives with his family mom dad and younger sister while i was using the bathroom i looked over to the right and noticed a black square adapter plugged into the wall facing me directly i looked closer and noticed a black hole in the middle kind of looking like a camera i don't know if it's exactly a camera or just a small hidden led light to show if something is charging i then noticed it was connected to a cord leading to what looks like a white charging block but i honestly don't know what it could be lol if it's a camera it definitely caught me staring at it and taking photos so i don't know if it's a camera or just a small hidden led light to show if something is charging so i am a bit nervous plus i'm female it's scary to think someone could be recording me and could be posting it online for some money i know he's not the type of person to stalk on somebody but also he hasn't even been home for that long so i think it might be his father's i want to bring it up and ask about it but i want to make sure that i'm not overreacting i have photos of the adapter and i'm not sure if it's a camera or just a cord leading to the adapter if anyone is interested in helping i will gladly send photos to help the adapter looks exactly like this one i found on the website and the link the op provided is dead link it doesn't work anymore but the op then comes back one day later with an update that reads update next day wow i was not expecting this much help thank you all so much i am currently still here at his house and waiting for my roommate to pick me up to take me home i currently don't have a car if i did i would be gone by now but she's aware of the situation and is just as interested as me and scared i do have one issue when i woke up to use the bathroom i passed by his the father's slash mother's room and noticed what looked like a frantically thrown around room with cords all over the bed i may just be overlooking and this could be someone looking for their charger but again i felt it was important to say this to answer some questions yes the back of the adapter has a weird set of numbers with power adapter model s3 on top of it when i put those words back onto google it did come up recommended search for camera so again i don't know if i'm just overlooking everything simply because i'm paranoid but if any of you saw that and know what it means to have a camera it means please let me know thank you another question slash misunderstanding it was in the bathroom facing directly to the side of me but did not show the whole shower meaning if this is a camera it's been recording people taking showers not sitting on the toilet some back info on the family my friend that i've known for a long time is fully gay and there is mostly women in this house all of the time when my friend is a woman and she's a woman and she's a woman and she's a isn't here in college, unless he is snooping on his father, but I really doubt it. But I honestly think it's more likely the father. He does give me weird vibes. And as for the younger sister, I think she's 15. So if this is a camera, I will be infuriated. Yes, because I was recorded, but the moment I see others were, especially the younger sister, I won't be able to shut my mouth when it comes to confrontation. And yes, the family knew ahead of time I was visiting if this helps. I don't have an Android phone, but my mom does. So I'll probably use hers lol and see if I can detect the camera. Lastly, when I took the adapter, I also took the cords that connected to it and the white block connected to the cord. Feel free to message me. If you have any more questions, I will try to update as much as I can, but I noticed the thread is locked, which I don't understand. I'm not new to Reddit, but this is the first time I posted something serious lol. But again, thank you. It means a lot people care and I will update once I get home. It may take a while since I'm gonna be running errands before going home, but I will update you all in a bit. Thank you. And then the OP makes a second update titled update number two. I finally left and guys, it's a camera. I took off the sticker on the back of the adapter and there is a effing SD card. Here's a picture. And the OP links a picture, but unfortunately the link is now dead and doesn't work. But the OP continues and says, when I popped out the SD card, there was a picture of me and my mom. And I was like, oh my gosh, this is a picture of me and my mom. And there's a effing A written on it. It's 32 gigabytes as well. I'm freaked out. Here's a picture of what it looks like. And unfortunately, this link is also dead. But the OP continues and says, I am freaking out. I told my friend and he's just in so much distress. He is actually scared. I told him everything, including how I posted it on Reddit. Him and his mother want to see what's on it. And I'm like, oh my gosh, this is a picture of me and my mom. And take it to the police. And then the OP makes a third update that reads as follows. Hey, everyone, I'm sorry for the late reply, but I have some important information. So yes, we found proof of being a camera and saw the footage on the camera with a SD reader you plug into your phone. I told my friend and he decided to tell his mother to ask on what to do. And she was completely distraught. She immediately contacted a friend who happens to be a lawyer for some advice. And she advised we take it to authorities and we are planning to. While browsing the footage, we noticed it wasn't anything too revealing. And yes, I know it's illegal to record anyone without their permission or knowledge, but it still helped us deal with everything a bit better. My friend decided to confront his father about it, but he admits a friend from his job loaned it to him a year ago, but quickly quit the company after suing the company after an injury and fleeing the country after receiving his money. Now we are currently trying to find proof that this exchange ever happened. And it could actually be this man knowingly gave an older man with a younger daughter and son a hidden camera to capture them and maybe sell them online. Allegedly, in theory, don't come for me. Now, as for what's on the card was over 70 videos. Different amounts of footage and folders. Only one folder had the videos, but there was a WhatsApp folder that was empty, which was weird. A lot of it was black, just showing the candle burning all day, but it did capture people using the bathroom. I try to keep updating as I go, but it's still a cover for me. I am still in denial about this, so I'm just going on my own pace as well as my friend's family. My friend said his dad was really upset once he told his daughter, wife, and son was possibly recorded. So I don't know. take that as you will. And we have never received another update from the OP. I think I'm being stalked. I never thought that I would be the one to post something like this, but I am terrified, and I need help. I am a civilian woman, and I am married to a service member. We have been stationed at our current base for just over a year, and it's been an adjustment for me. But recently, I have been experiencing something that I can't explain. It started a few months ago when I was out for a run in the morning. I noticed that there was a man who seemed to be running in the same direction at me. At first, I didn't think anything of it, but then I noticed that he was keeping pace with me. And I was like, what the hell is going on? I started to feel uneasy, so I picked up the pace. And he did too. Ever since that day, I feel like I am being followed. Whenever I go out for a run or go to the grocery store, I see the same guy who seems to be watching me. It's like he's always there. Okay, no big deal. It's not a huge base, but it is big enough that we should not be running into each other that frequently. At first, I thought that maybe it was just my imagination. But then I started to notice other things. My decorative wind chimes that I keep on our back porch have been moved around a few times. And I have found footprints in the backyard outside of our house that weren't there before. I've even received anonymous poems in the mail that are addressed to me. But there's no return address. When my husband is away and I'm alone, sometimes our dog will freak out and bark at the back porch. But when I flip on the light, the only evidence I've ever found besides the chimes was the back gate being unlocked. I haven't told my husband any of this, because I don't want him to think that I am overreacting. He is a service member, and I don't want to add any stress to his already demanding job. But the more I think about it, the more scared I become. I don't know who this person is or what their intentions are. And that is what scares me the most. It's like they are always one step ahead of me. And I can't shake the feeling that they are watching me. And it freaks me out. I'm at a loss as to what to do. And that's why I'm posting this here. If anyone has any advice or has experienced something similar, please reach out to me. I need to know that I am not alone in this, and that there is a way to prove I am not crazy, and put a stop to this once and for all. Edit. I'm reading all of your comments. Just feeling a bit overwhelmed. Some I'm going to answer common questions here. Husband is currently at NTC, so he's several states away. Communication is spotty at best right now. I will speak to him when he gets home in a few weeks. I don't really have any friends here. I'm very much an introvert. And I don't speak to my birth family. So I don't have anyone but my husband here. But one lady next door husband, I think, is in my husband's unit. I'm going to introduce myself and ask her to keep an eye out. Yes, I have a carbon monoxide detector. Yes, it's working. It was tested last week. Anyone who knows, do I contact his unit's rear detachment since everyone is gone? I've never had to before. I am going to look into getting cameras. I'm not sure what kind or what's allowed. I think I need to look at the base housing website to see what changes I'm allowed to make because I'm unsure. Yes, there's a weapon in the house. And no, it is not mine. And now let's get into some of the things that I've been doing. Let's get into some of the top comments. One user says, And the OP responds and says, The problem is that he's currently at NTC, so telling him won't do much good. But cameras and I guess informing the MP, that I suspect something, would be my first step until he gets home. And someone else says, I'd assume it was a coincidence until you mentioned the footprints and things moving. 100% tell as many folks as will listen. Your fella won't be more stressed by this than if you didn't tell him and someone else will listen. This needs to go also to his base commander. You may not be the only one this happens to. And the OP responds and says, Someone mentioned contacting his chain of command. They're all gone right now, except for rear detachment. So I'm guessing they are the ones I need to talk to. And someone else says, Number one, Tell your husband. Tell your close friends. People need to know so they can look out for you and check in on you. Your husband may even be able to identify the man. Number two, Call the military police on base. They are different from a regular local police force and this needs to be documented. Number three, Get security cameras ASAP. Nowadays, there are tons of inexpensive systems. This will be critical to possibly deter him from entering your home. And to document it in case he does. Number four, Start carrying red pepper spray and learn how to use it. Red is one of those two brands that are regulated in the United States, so it's super reliable. I recently took a pepper spray self-defense course, so I'm happy to answer any questions you may have. Number five, And this may seem obvious, but keep an eye on your surroundings. Keep your keys in one hand on the way to the car. Lock your doors. As soon as you get inside and don't be on your phone while walking in public. Situational awareness is the first step to preventing violent crime. And man, I really hope that the OP is doing okay now because it seemed like the OP was pretty alone, didn't have many friends in the area, didn't have any sort of family in the area, and obviously her significant other was out of town. And this. This person was escalating things significantly, like the OP says, I found footprints in the backyard outside of our house that weren't there before I've even received anonymous poems in the mail that were addressed from me and also the dog freaking out and also the wind chimes moving all of those things combined is beyond alarming and I really hope that the OP was able to get some help and get this creeper away from her because it seems like this guy is. You know, escalating his tactics and I really hope she's safe now. Has anyone experienced a break in where seemingly nothing was stolen originally posted to our slash RBI and the post reads as follows. So something really weird happened at our apartment recently, and I'm trying to understand what the hell the person might have been looking for. Someone apparently. Broke into our apartment and clearly went through our stuff. Cupboards, closets, belongings, etc. Had been searched slash moved around and everything in them was thrown on the bed or on the floor. So it really looked like someone had been looking for something. The weirdest part is that as far as we can tell, nothing was actually stolen. All of the obvious valuables are still there. My iPad laptop phone. Wallet passport, et cetera. None of the electronics seem to have been touched. We called the police and they suggested that burglars sometimes aren't interested in electronics and are specifically looking for things like cash or jewelry since they are easier to take and resell. But even that explanation feels a little strange in our case. For example, there were gold colored earrings literally lying on the bed. Obviously, they might not be. But if someone was actively searching for jewelry, I would have expected them to at least take them and figure out their value later. At the moment, we genuinely cannot figure out what this person was looking for or why they would go through the apartment and leave all of the obvious valuables behind. Has anyone in Paris slash France recently experienced something similar? A break in where the apartment was clearly searched. But. Apparently, nothing was taken. If so, did you ever figure out what they were looking for? i'm curious whether this is a known pattern or whether anyone has had a similar experience and now let's get into some of the top comments one user says i'm not in paris or even europe when that happens in my little corner of the u.s the criminals are either looking for drugs or there is a really desirable vehicle parked out front and they are looking for the keys another user says had my car broken into once everything was taken out of the glove compartment and center console not a thing was taken i had my headphones my cds it was all in there they didn't take anything cops said sometimes they're looking for drugs or loose change and don't really care about anything else and someone else says check your medication if you have any prescriptions new or old my house was broken into by a delivery driver who wasn't caught for a long time because she wasn't taking things other than just a couple of pills from bottles at a time it was clear someone had been in the house because stuff was shifted and moved around granted it sounds like your intruder was more thorough than mine but it wasn't clear what they had stolen until we noticed a prescription bottles lid was cross threaded and someone else says here's what happened to friends of mine in la they had a problem and it was obvious that they went through the whole house but nothing was taken they called the police the cops explained why nothing was missing everything they said describes my house as well the cops said your stereo system is 20 years old your laptops are old your television is outdated and your jewelry is all costume jewelry thieves are interested in anything you own and someone else says be careful because you're not going to be able to get out of the house because in france your id papers can be used to open a bank account and write unpaid checks you said the thief touched your passport so i would keep an eye out for that and someone else says it's possible that their aim was stealing your identity i guess otherwise it doesn't really make sense they could have stolen took photos of your id passports etc and the op responds and says my passport was moved and opened but it wasn't taken super weird and the commenter replies to the op here and says they can easily take a picture of your passport and steal your identity that way you might want to report this to the authorities i don't think it even matters what come after that just have on record that your identity might have been stolen and we have never received another update from the op and so hopefully the op's you know identity hasn't been stolen but still very very weird that his entire apartment was ransacked but nothing was seemingly taken found a weird video of myself sleeping in my camera roll hello rbi i was cleaning my camera roll this morning and i found a weird video on my phone it is recorded the night between the 23rd and 24th of march at around 12 34. at first i didn't think much of it but i checked my screen time just in case it turns out i went to sleep at around 21 p.m and woke up at around 6 a.m i showed the video to my mother and she was more scared than i was i posted it to youtube because i thought i might post about it on here later and i am my dad said that maybe it was a virus or something controlling it for me i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i haven't really used my phone on sites with a high risk of viruses but you can never know it is an iphone if that has anything to do with it later i showed my sister the video and i got more scared the more we watched it we think we have come to some conclusions but feel free to debunk them if you think they are wrong the phone is physically moving that means that either i or someone else is holding it while filming i sleep with all of my phone and i don't know why the white background is either my ceiling or the door the lines could either be the cornice or the doorway the breathing is very irregular the moving thing on the left must be my side profile the counter argument would be that i sleep the other way around i fell asleep in that position and woke up like that some background information on me and my sleeping patterns is that i am a girl i used to be a sleepwalker but i don't think i've done it in the last five years i sleep with my doors locked and i often check my wardrobe and underneath my bed for scary people haven't found any yet my family consisting of my mom dad and sister live with me but my door is hard to unlock from the outside and i would hear it i'm not the lightest sleeper but i would definitely wake up if someone came into my room and filmed me at least that's what i hope and the op then attaches a video to the video she's referring to the entire time and let's take a look and to be honest nothing seems that out of the ordinary in this video you know it looks like someone just was sleeping or half awake picked up their phone you know turned on the camera app took a video and that was it you know i don't think this is a case of someone breaking in and using the you know op's phone to film but i could be wrong but let's get into some of the top comments someone says the room appearing to be lit up in the video is the result of the phone automatically adjusting the brightness of the video for low light conditions most likely you did it yourself in your sleep or it is a prank by a family member the possibility that a skilled infiltrator would invade your house to creep you out by making a short video of you sleeping using your own phone is beyond unlikely a burglar would just take things a deranged lunatic would leave much more obvious evidence a competent stalker wouldn't make such obvious evidence in the first place if you want peace of mind then you could look into acquiring home security stuff another thing you can do is place tape and or an object on the inside of the door and or such that it can only be put into that position from someone on the inside of the room and you can't leave without moving it from that position for example if the door opens inward then you can put a water bottle or book right in front of it and anyone entering or leaving via the door will cause the door to hit the water bottle and move it from its position if you set up the system each night and in the morning then it can reassure you that nobody entered and then left the room while you were sleeping and someone else says that looks like you fell asleep with it in your hand but if you didn't wake up with it in your bed then i don't know what else to suggest and the op responds and says i forgot to mention it i always put my phone on the floor next to my bed and someone else says do you take any sort of sleeping pills i occasionally take sleeping pills and have used books in a rock tumbler using my phone with no memory of doing so and the op responds and says that sounds crazy i've actually never tried taking sleeping pills but reading all these comments make it seem like we do way crazier stuff in our sleep than i thought and someone else says you live with three other people your family you lock your door when you go to sleep and confirm it's difficult to open and that if someone did open it it'd probably wake you up you have a history of sleepwalking in order for someone to record your phone i assume they have to unlock it with a fingerprint or code etc there's no evidence to suggest it's anything other than you sleepwalking and all the evidence points to that if you are still concerned about it you can buy a cheap camera and record your phone while you sleep to see what's going on but there's a 99 chance that it's you and you are sleepwalking edit you mentioned something about your face being in the video i don't know i honestly have no idea what i'm looking at my best guess is that the dark area is a blanket can't tell anything else but if the position in the video is recorded from is something where you couldn't be holding the phone then that's a different story but i simply can't tell anything about what's being filmed or from where because the quality is just too low you know what i might do try to recreate the video in good quality and bright lighting like try to film what you think is the video from the position it was recorded from with all the lights on and see if it matches up if it matches up then you know what was being filmed and from where and then you can figure out if that's something you are likely to do although we have never heard another update from the op so we're not sure who filmed that but you know in all honesty it's probably the op but in the off chance it's their family or a stranger breaking in that makes it a lot creepier but who knows what do you guys think and all right guys that wraps up some horrifying unsolved reddit threads and i really enjoyed making this video. It was really creepy and scary, but I also really hope you enjoyed because I really like these unsolved Reddit threads. It's a different sort of, you know, vibe than the regular Reddit threads and also a different vibe than the scary stories. And so would you like to see some more videos like this in the future?
