Well, perhaps it could be the unknown. Maybe the camera Goodman is a cursed object in the story, and every time someone uses it, something terrifying happens. For example, it might show images of ghosts or otherworldly beings that are not supposed to be seen.
Well, there's Goodman of course. He's probably the central figure related to the camera. He might be a mysterious character, perhaps an inventor or an occultist. Then there could be the people who find the camera later. They are likely the ones who start to experience the horror.
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. They were so terrified that they called the police. But when the police arrived and searched the house, there was no sign of anyone breaking in or any explanation for the figure on the camera.
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. The figure then moved towards the desks and started to open drawers as if it was looking for something. When the employees came in the next day and saw the footage, they were really scared. They even called in a paranormal investigator, but nothing conclusive was found.
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. As she peered into the camera obscura, she saw a shadowy figure that seemed to be staring back at her. She gasped and tried to run, but the door slammed shut. 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.
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. Every time she took a new photo, the shadows got closer. One night, she heard a clicking sound like the camera shutter, but the camera was in a locked drawer. 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.
A scary story could be that a Ring camera caught a strange face peering into a window late at night. The owners were shocked when they saw the footage the next day. It made them realize how vulnerable they were without the camera.
One scary story could be about how a Ring camera captured a figure lurking around a house at night. The owners were alerted and when they checked the footage, they saw this shadowy form that seemed to be casing the place. It sent chills down their spines.
The mystery of it. Camera obscura is an old device, and not many people know how it really works. In a horror story, this lack of knowledge can be used to create fear. For example, strange images can appear in it without any obvious explanation.
It could be about a digital camera that captures something it shouldn't. Maybe it takes pictures of ghosts or other supernatural entities. For example, every time the owner takes a photo at a certain old house, strange figures appear in the pictures that no one can explain.
