One scary security camera story could be about a family who installed a security camera in their old, creepy house. One night, they checked the footage the next day and saw a shadowy figure moving slowly down the hallway. It had no distinct features but seemed to be floating.

There was an office with a security camera. One night, the camera picked up a strange mist that seemed to be seeping in through the vents. As the mist spread, it took on the shape of a human figure.

They even called in a paranormal investigator, but nothing conclusive was found.
Once, a girl found an old camera in her attic. When she took a photo, strange shadows appeared in the picture that she hadn't seen in real life.

She was so scared that she threw the camera away, but she could still hear the clicking at night, as if the camera was still taking pictures of her in the dark.
Once upon a time, there was an old, abandoned house with a camera obscura in it. A young girl, curious about the strange device, entered the house alone.

The figure in the camera obscura grew closer and closer, and she could hear its raspy breathing. She closed her eyes and screamed, hoping someone would hear her. When she opened her eyes again, the figure was right in front of her, and then everything went black.
