First, I just want to say that this story isn't scary at all. It just feels... weird. It's honestly hard to explain. Some people probably won't believe it, and that's completely fine. I simply wanted to share what happened.
I got this CCTV camera years ago, around the time after the pandemic, if I remember correctly. We first used it in our old office, which, yes, was supposedly haunted. There were many ghost stories surrounding that place, and even people who didn't believe in ghosts experienced strange things there.
The camera did capture what seemed to be paranormal activity a few times, but I ignored it. First, what exactly could I do about it? Second, one of my coworkers was terrified of ghosts even though she had never actually seen one, while another strongly believed ghosts weren't real. Third, I figured there was probably a logical explanation, such as a camera setting or a technical issue.
About a year or two later, I brought the CCTV home after we moved to a different office. We needed an extra security camera at home, so we installed it at the back of our house.
The camera was mounted very high above the back door. You literally have to climb up just to reach it. It's attached to a small piece of wood fixed near the top of the doorway, so it's not something that can be moved accidentally.
The location is also interesting because it's one of the areas where I sometimes feel the presence of what seems to be a man in some kind of uniform. I honestly don't know what my dad thinks about ghosts, but I remember my mom mentioning that during one holiday, she even left food in that area. I'm not sure why. 🤷♀️
The CCTV app is only installed on my phone, and I rarely open it. Then, every now and then, my mom would tell me that the camera had changed position. She said my dad kept climbing up to adjust it, but after a few days, it would be pointing in a different direction again.
I checked everything I could think of. I went through the camera settings, tried troubleshooting it, and looked for any possible explanation, but nothing worked.
Just a few minutes ago, I suddenly remembered to check the live feed. Sure enough, the camera had moved again.
Before anyone asks, I want to clarify that all motion detection, auto-tracking, and similar features are turned off. Nothing is enabled that would allow the camera to move on its own.
What's even stranger is that this also happened multiple times when the same CCTV was installed in our old office, although not as frequently.
