00:00On November 30th, 2021, a Twitter user from Dallas reported that her doorbell camera had

00:13recorded a suspicious man standing outside of her apartment almost every night for an

00:17entire month. According to her tweet, she had already reached out to the authorities,

00:21but they hadn't done enough to keep the man away. This is what her ring camera captured.

01:00In most of the clips, the man can be seen standing eerily still outside of the woman's

01:05apartment, possibly waiting for her to come outside.

01:08At one point in the video, the man can be heard talking, but his words are difficult

01:12to make out.

01:14It's unknown what he planned to do if the woman stepped out of her apartment, but judging

01:31by his behavior, it likely wasn't anything good.

01:34After the original upload, the disturbing video immediately went viral, with hundreds

01:38of people checking in on the woman to make sure she was safe.

01:41Two days later, the woman posted an update on Twitter, in which she mentioned that her

01:45friends and family had confronted the man, and that security had been on the lookout

01:49for him.

01:50Many people who viewed the video urged the uploader not to let her guard down, and reminded her

01:54that the likelihood that the man would show up again was very high.

01:56But after the last tweet in December 2021, there haven't been any more updates, and the

02:01man's identity hasn't been publicly revealed.

02:06This clip was captured in November 2019, in Harriet Creek Ranch, Texas.

02:11It was later uploaded to TikTok and Facebook.

02:14The footage shows a little girl holding a flashlight and knocking on the door of an unoccupied house

02:18in the middle of the night.

02:19Help!

02:20Please!

02:21Help!

02:22Please!

02:23Help!

02:24Please!

02:25Help!

02:26Please!

02:27Help!

02:28Help!

02:29Help!

02:30Help!

02:31Help!

02:32Help!

02:33I don't want him!

02:34Help!

02:35Please help!

02:50The girl is obviously scared, but because nobody else can be seen on the camera,

02:54it's hard to tell who or what she was running from.

02:57As she continues to knock and beg for help, she looks over her shoulder several times,

03:02but the footage ends abruptly, leaving many questions unanswered.

03:05Shortly after it was recorded, the video was made public, and police were notified of the incident,

03:10but from what I was able to find, the girl was never identified.

03:13Some think that she was being used as bait to get the homeowners to open the door,

03:16and several people commented on Facebook and TikTok that they could clearly see a man

03:20hiding in the shadows behind the girl, but it was never confirmed whether that's what was happening,

03:25or if the little girl was actually in danger and genuinely asking for help.

03:29Another theory that surfaced is that the girl in the video might have been the same girl

03:33from a missing person case in South Dakota.

03:36In February 2019, a 9-year-old girl named Serenity Denard ran away from a youth home in Black Hills,

03:42and was allegedly seen in Justin, Texas a few days before the video was recorded.

03:46The fact that the little girl knocked on the door of an unoccupied house

03:49shows that she clearly didn't live in the area,

03:52otherwise she would have known nobody was there, which makes this theory a possibility.

03:56Although there's definitely a resemblance between the girl in the video and Serenity,

04:00police didn't confirm whether the video and the missing person case were related.

04:04Unfortunately, not a lot of official information on this footage has been made public,

04:08and we'll likely never know what ended up happening to the little girl.

04:11In this disturbing ring camera footage from 2021,

04:17a woman in a hoodie can be seen approaching the front door of a house in the middle of the night.

04:22Behind her, a man wearing a face mask and a lanyard stands on the steps as she rings the doorbell.

04:27Doorbell cameras are meant for homeowners to see who's at their door and communicate with their visitors

04:47to decide whether or not it's a good idea to let them in.

04:49But in this case, the owner opens the door without hesitation.

04:58Hello, do y'all have a sign I can use?

05:00My car break down, and y'all's the only one that got a light on.

05:03We don't.

05:04We don't.

05:05Sorry.

05:07Open it up.

05:12Come on, man.

05:13The woman tells him that her car broke down and asks if she can use his phone.

05:25The owner politely refuses, but as soon as he apologizes and closes the door,

05:29the man with the face mask tries to break into the house with a weapon in hand.

05:33Fortunately, the owner had locked the second door just in time.

05:36It's unknown if he called the police,

05:38but from what I could find, the identities of the man and woman haven't been revealed.

05:43What makes this footage even more chilling is the fact that there's a playground in the yard,

05:47which means the two had specifically targeted a house where they knew there would most likely be kids inside.

05:52Had the homeowner not reacted quickly,

05:54he and his family would have probably been the victims of an armed robbery,

05:57or possibly much worse.

06:01In February 2020, an off-duty police officer received a message from his neighbor

06:06asking him to go check on his wife because somebody was trying to break into their house,

06:10and the woman was home alone.

06:12The man immediately walked across the street to his neighbor's house,

06:15but didn't see anything suspicious.

06:17When he came back, he saw that his neighbor had sent him this clip.

06:20The video shows a shirtless man crawling up the stairs to the front entrance of the house,

06:48and attempting to open the door.

06:50Realizing it's locked,

06:51he walks back down the stairs and makes his way to the side of the house.

06:54After viewing the footage, the man immediately called 911,

06:57and ten minutes later, four officers arrived at the neighborhood with a canine unit to help track down the intruder.

07:02What followed was an intense game of cat and mouse involving the neighbors,

07:06the police,

07:07and the shirtless man.

07:09Although he was spotted by the neighbors multiple times,

07:11he managed to slip away from the cops every single time.

07:15Several minutes into the search,

07:16the man heard his neighbor calling from across the street,

07:18saying that he could hear someone in his backyard.

07:21The two men scoured the outside of the house,

07:23and eventually found that the back porch light had been unscrewed,

07:26but the shirtless man was nowhere to be seen.

07:29About an hour later,

07:30the man who uploaded the video walked down onto his back deck,

07:33and spotted the intruder unscrewing another porch light,

07:35this time from the house across the street.

07:37With weapon in hand,

07:54the man intercepted the intruder,

07:55and ordered him to get on the ground,

07:57but the shirtless man took off running,

07:59and ended up sneaking into the crawlspace of a nearby house.

08:02The uploader waited until the police arrived,

08:04and after he was ordered out of the crawlspace,

08:06the intruder was charged with two counts of aggravated burglary,

08:10trespassing,

08:11public intoxication,

08:12and disorderly conduct.

08:14Police revealed that the subject was under the influence of hard drugs,

08:17and had an outstanding warrant for failing to appear in court

08:20for another open case of burglary from earlier that same year.

08:24It's unclear if he was convicted of all the charges against him,

08:27but considering his criminal history,

08:28it's more than likely that he's still serving time today.

08:31This footage was captured at 4.30am on April 29th, 2023.

08:39It happened in El Paso, Texas.

08:41The video shows a young woman running up to the front door of a house and ringing the doorbell.

08:46Although nobody else can be seen in the frame,

08:48terrified, she looks over her shoulder multiple times as if she was being followed.

08:52Oh, my God.

09:22The woman begs for help and starts crying when nobody answers the door.

09:52And a few seconds later,

09:54a car's headlights come into view in the background.

09:56As soon as she sees the light,

09:57the woman crouches down behind a column,

09:59and she does the same thing again when she sees the neighbor's driveway lights turn on.

10:03After a few minutes of waiting,

10:21a car's headlights illuminate the driveway,

10:23and the woman walks down the steps towards it.

10:25It's possible that she got in the car,

10:27but this wasn't caught in the ring camera.

10:29As soon as the footage was made public,

10:31many people started speculating that the woman might have been the victim of trafficking

10:35and was trying to escape her captors,

10:37but others believe that she had a totally different motive.

10:40Several viewers mentioned that if she really had been in danger,

10:43she wouldn't have hid from the neighbors when she saw their driveway lights turn on.

10:47Another thing that caught viewers' attention is the fact that at the very beginning of the video,

10:51the woman isn't actually running.

10:53She appears to be casually walking up the steps,

10:56and she only begins to run when she comes into view of the doorbell camera,

10:59which suggests that the whole thing might have been a robbery setup.

11:03Less than a month after the footage was uploaded,

11:05El Paso police arrested 34-year-old Krista Nicole Cordell for burglary.

11:10After her mugshot was released,

11:12some people believed that it was the same woman from the video due to their resemblance,

11:15but police never officially confirmed this.

11:18It's unclear if she was ever seen in the neighborhood again.

11:23In 2022, a Reddit user uploaded this disturbing ring camera footage with the caption,

11:28Zombies want your brain.

11:30The video shows a young man in a bandana,

11:32covered in what appears to be dirt or blood,

11:35repeatedly slamming himself into the front door of a house.

11:46On his third attempt to break down the door,

11:48he apparently knocks himself out after hitting his head.

11:51Stumbling after the impact,

11:53the man collapses over the front porch railing,

11:55knocking over an ornament in the process.

11:57He groans in pain as he flails his arms and raises his legs,

12:24seemingly trying to get back on his feet,

12:26but the video ends before we can see what happened next.

12:30After the footage was uploaded,

12:31many viewers commented that the man was probably under the influence of hard drugs,

12:35which would explain his uncoordinated movements and violent behavior.

12:39Other users suggest that he might have had a seizure after hitting his head on the door,

12:43but because the video was uploaded with no context or explanation,

12:46it's impossible to confirm what actually happened.

12:48After that night,

12:50the homeowner never saw the man again.

12:52On July 24th, 2021,

12:58a woman named Caitlin Curtis took her baby to the park across the street from her house in Arizona.

13:03After sitting down on the bench next to a fountain,

13:05a scruffy-looking man suddenly approached her,

13:08sat on the bench next to her,

13:10and asked her if she wanted to buy his drawings.

13:12According to Caitlin,

13:13the drawings looked like they had been drawn by a little kid,

13:16or by someone with no artistic talent.

13:19After politely refusing to buy the drawings,

13:21she got up and left the park with her baby in the stroller.

13:24As she was leaving,

13:25she saw the man get into the passenger seat of a suspicious-looking truck at the other end of the park,

13:30which then circled around her several times as she made her way back home.

13:34Afraid that she was being followed,

13:36Caitlin took a different route back to her house

13:38and entered through the back door so that the men in the truck wouldn't know where she lived.

13:41Three days later,

13:43when Caitlin was out of town,

13:44her doorbell camera captured the same man walking up to the front door of her house

13:48and ringing the doorbell at three in the morning.

13:50PHONE RINGS

13:57PHONE RINGS

13:58PHONE RINGS

14:32According to Caitlin, her husband was asleep while the whole thing was happening, and

14:42he didn't learn about the man's visit until the next day.

14:45After the video was uploaded to TikTok, some users commented that the fact that the man

14:49rang her doorbell specifically was not a coincidence, and that he might have been watching

14:53her from the day they met in the park.

14:56It's possible that he was using the drawings to try and distract her while the other man

14:59in the truck abducted her child, but we'll likely never know his intentions for sure.

15:04The incident could just be written off as a man who was under the influence of drugs or

15:08suffering from mental illness, but if Caitlin hadn't been careful, it's anyone's guess

15:12what might have happened.

15:14Fortunately, the man never came back, and neither Caitlin nor her family had seen him again.

15:18In October 2021, Reddit user Protomancer uploaded this footage of a man crawling and slithering

15:27through his neighbor's yard in the middle of the night.

15:29There doesn't appear to be any context surrounding the video, but most users are

15:59attributed the man's particular behavior to drug use or possibly mental illness.

16:04Even though he isn't hurting anybody, this is probably not the type of person you would

16:08want to run into on your way back from home in the middle of the night.

16:11The man in the footage hasn't been identified, and it's unclear if he ever showed up again.
