Hey everyone, If you're confused by the name change, please read this: www.reddit.com/r/NightmareExpo/comments/9p1q2l/faqs_about_the_nexpo_rebrand/?st=JNDOYIKP&sh=489ac01f Nothing's going away. I'm just opening up the floor to new video-essay topics :) ALSO, if you’re interested, a few good friends started a fan podcast about the channel if you’d like some additional listening material: ua-cam.com/video/V4pIj1qxI64/v-deo.html
Felt like people where forgetting the main thing, that some dude or woman was scratching the cat door. Seems like it was a hoax that took off and the dude didnt plan the whole hoax so he made shit up as it went then got bored with it or didnt know how to end it so he just ended it abruptly
He actually planned out at least the later parts of it, he set up the spiderweb in a clear storytelling fashion so that when it was used to prove the camera wasn't moved it was something the reader already knew. It's the classic Chekov's Gun situation.
When I see an online post that's in journal entries and one of them starts with "NOPE. NOPE NOPE" I know its a person flexing their creative writing skills lol
That's close to my theory. Spoof the MAC of the camera and the image you send will look like it's coming from that cam. If you can get on their wifi, you can mess with their cameras.
1. This is fake, I used to sell, install and maintain security cameras, including wireless Zmodo branded ones, you definetly have the option to disable motion detection and record continuously. With a 1TB hard disk, a 2MP camera (most commonly used) will record 4 months of continuous video at 1080p. An 8MP 4k security camera (extremely rare) will record for a month. In fact back in 2016 most wireless Zmodo cameras were 720p. 2. On top of that if the cameras were setup to only record on motion detection they would record a VIDEO! Not still photos. In fact they would record footage from 5 minutes before it detected any motion (the DVR records continuously even on Motion detection and deletes the videos after a certain period). 3. It doesnt matter what app you use to view the recording or watch the stream, you would never lose the videos if you changed apps, because the VIDEO IS STORED IN THE DVR!! The app only connects via p2p to stream the video from the dvr into your phone. The app does not store the video on your phone, unless you download a certain clip.
I can imagine this person isn't really all that tech-savvy, as they're talking about how the app 'changed' and they're only sharing stills, they don't seem like someone who knows that you should a.) change the default password for wifi cameras and b.) how to go through settings and set up a camera to record. My dad's had security cameras for our property for years, he stores a lot of construction equipment and they help monitor the comings and goings of the people he employs, works with, etc. I think OP didn't know how to set shit up properly and wasn't about to admit that he screwed up some setting(hell he could have even set up his own phone to take stills every time the phone failed to unlock). He never shows us a screenshot of the app--and the cameras are totally hackable if you've set up Password123 as the password then figured it's totes secure--like I bet you can even save stills from your phone to the app/device. Why not share video? Why not double check all their wifi and camera settings after the first instance of obviously-inserted photo? So I would say--Fake in that OP clearly isn't able to manage settings correctly, and is probably misinterpreting stuff as paranormal when really OP needs to brush up on their wifi security. It's like if I was one of those parents who kept the wifi password default on a camera or something and then when it was logged into by a random stranger I went "oh my god the camera's haunted!"
I'm an Electrical Engineer that has installed dozens of security systems & hundreds of sensors & cams. Although I've never installed Zmodos in particular, here's what I know: - There is no way in Hell for anyone to approach, unmount & move the cam around without getting caught by it. Not even a ghost, since the cam's motion itself would trigger an alarm. But! Like I said I don't know those cams, but if they don't send alarms upon video loss/disconnections, then I guess it's doable if they're switched off before someone enters their visual range. - There is no way he's picking up some neighbor's cam, as someone commented. Seeing neighbor's cam (which is connected to a different router) is as possible as it is to see a random cam from the other side of the planet: not possible at all. (Also, why would his neighbor have CCTV cams on his bed? 😛) So, what are the possibilities? - He's lying. - He's using Zmodo's cloud storage instead of a DVR, from which he received some old snapshots from, I don't know, when he was testing/setting the cam on his bed? Although it sounds weird & it's probably a rare glitch, something similar has happened to me personally (albeit only once). I was installing an IP/cloud cam & when I got it online, I received snapshots of a workbench, the factory & the guy that presumably was testing it. - The app itself &/or the previously stored snapshots are messed up & out of order (perhaps due to wrong timestamps or whatever), so he's seeing older snapshots as new. - The ghost of a hacker or a cat burglar (no pun intended) is haunting him. 😱 Although I'm a cynical, skeptical Engineer, I can't dismiss that last possibility. You see, my own cams have caught some weird crap over the years, at my in-the-middle-of-nowhere home. Who knows...
Do you think it’s possible to send false footage to the app or camera? Basically hack the camera or app to edit videos or images, or even send new footage entirely?
This justifies my paranoia and distrust of anything "stored on the cloud". Hell, all "cloud storage" even means is "our corporation will be able to access anything on your computer*" *short of any sort of extensive software design, I know there's plenty of people who will go the extra mile with shit like VPN's and similar things that encrypt the data better, but for the average person, all cloud storage means is "sign here and trust us to have access to all your data, and we pinky promise never to delete your data if it takes up too much space or becomes an inconvenience(and you can TOOOOOTALLY trust us, right? It's not like silicon Valley isn't constantly "leaking" or losing data to hackers and rival entities") Fuck cloud storage. If I get security cameras on my house the last thing I want is amy sort of internet connection running them together.
I think I listened to a creepypasta once with ukulele music in the background, and then suddenly after talking about some eerie shit it goes real loud DOOT DOO! A ukulele jumpscare. -_-
I dont care if it's a hoax, I love stories like this, especially when they're framed so solidly in reality. It's entertaining. The fact that you're not able to trust something so important as a camera is terrifying. It serves for a fantastic narrative and horror story.
I don't. They are boring and totally take away any intrigue from the mystery - I want real shit that will scare me, not a hoax or ARG. It's not entertaining at all. I want reality, not fiction.
@@Wackaz then why are you watching videos you're sure are a hoax? I didn't ask whether you liked it or not. I was just making a comment that I personally don't mind.
I had instant doubts when none of the cameras ever recorded anything but the creepy pictures shown in the video. Also "nah I'm not gonna unplug my fan or light to plug this camera in, it's not like someone is apparently sneaking around my house even while I'm home!"
@@frankjr5813 i live in a small town, and cops around here don't screw around a simple bathroom vandalism is a nuclear threat, they're already on the scene 30 seconds after it's reported but we do have a burglary problem that's still unsolved, maybe they are more laid back than expected...
There is also the possibility that the camera was never moved at all. It's possible that someone was able to override the signal by using another camera. If the intent was to mess with this person, that would be far easier than all the nuanced installation and moving around of the original camera.
@@jakefreeman8485 Defending your home is legal in the constitution, the supreme laws of the land. If they die while trespassing on my property because of a claymore then it's not illegal. Off of my property is another story.
@@minoxiothethird did you even Google the laws? Placing a mine,claymore or even a pitfall trap without a sign warning of explosives or traps on the area will get you arrested
@@Isabella-xr1ik It's the "Florida Man Birthday Challenge". You search Google News for "Florida man" and your birthday, to see what he was getting up to that day.
Obvious fabrication, and not even a good one... "Someone got into my house and moved all of my cameras, let me just STAY HERE and also WALK AROUND NAKED" come on, man
I have problems with these "stories" where a person continues to live and SLEEP in the house. You can't expect people to accept the idea you genuinely believe someone is gaining access to your home AND you continue to live there. It's ridiculous.
honestly I think more characters should be portrayed as having a hard background because that will absolutely give you the horror movie idiot personality, because you're used to brushing things off and having to survive when afraid. I have a lot of trauma and I would absolutely die in a horror movie
If the post is true, they could have had the camera somewhere else (say the front of the house) just not included it's footage as there wasn't anything of note on it
Smugumin the second camera I believe was just unplugged and in the house but that still means that he could’ve just plugged it into somewhere and taken the pictures (also the fact that this guy was behaving just like a character in a movie or something says a lot lmao)
This is probably a hoax, because if you check out FlexGunship's account he posts fake scary stories on subs like r/nosleep and r/shortscarystories, so this was probably one of the scary stories that he wrote that he decided to continue due to popularity
I agree. Also the fact that his thread was moved or continued in the paranormal subreddit. Letsnotmeet is for true stories and events, not the "fake but real" style that nosleep is supposed to be.
@Major Cbass Also, they could have easily used extension cords to take the pictures that were either inside or in the forest. Or maybe they just took normal pictures and photoshopped it so that the quality looked like something a camera would take
@@blue---monday Mellyanda Ratu I think he might've wanted to make up a convincing story to post on r/letsnotmeet for Reddit karma because his older stories didn't gain a lot of karma. Stories like his are very common on subs like r/nosleep, but they're uncommon on r/letsnotmeet due to the fact that the stories there are usually real, and when they're made up they're usually not as extreme as FlexGunship's story, cause they're trying to be convincingly real. FlexGunship probably just wanted karma and attention, like most redditors do, but decided that making very realistic fake stories on subreddits for that kind of thing was not getting him enough karma, and that posting one of his very convincing fake stories to letsnotmeet would probably gain more traction and give him lots of attention and Reddit karma, which it did.
@@endianajohns4788 "hmm yes, the lighting needs a little more polishing. the polished floor tho, thats pretty good. i reccommend moving the wardrobe to a different place to make the light more, distributed."
You know what really kills this story for me? The fact that it started with scratching and actually catching someone doing it, but immidiately after we are told to forget all about it and hear about some weird unexplainable phenomenon going on.
"Oh it's probably just some kid messing with me, good thing I don't care enough to catch them. Oh, cops said theres someone living in my walls, guess I'll just uninstall the cameras so if i get attacked theres no evidence"
I was staunchly not looking at the video because I’m a wuss so I’m glad you pointed that out, that is the single funniest video clip I’ve ever seen in my L I F E
I know I’m a bit late, but working in network security, I can tell you that there are devices out there that will clone your WiFi enabled Camera. So this is entirely possible. A device clones the camera and temporarily disabled it and the new camera becomes the current feed. Then, upon disabling it, it goes back to the original one. It’s not that hard to do. Just a thought
Riis, read about MAC spoofing. Also, when you set up the cam, you probably only assign it a custom DHCP lease based on the MAC, not add it to a network whitelist, so if one would be to set a static IP on a device and disconnect the other one (either physically or by dropping it off the network with a ton of malfunctioned ARP packets (netcut-style)), it would be totally possible. I'm wondering how did they get cameras compatible with that system to work exactly like the other ones did. Probably a fake because of this.
Something like that was one of my first thoughts, but if that was the case there's no way the camera would be getting shots of the bed without someone moving it, whether or not it's hacked.
0rbital That's what I was thinking. Hack the existing cameras to see when OP is home, sneak in and plant new cameras, make OP think they're being haunted.
they're wifi cameras... that shit can easily be faked through the use of a phone connecting to their wifi, then sending a signal to the camera system, and voila, magically the cameras are moving without actually moving.
Yeah, cause the picture of the bed supposedly coming from the “camera” seemed higher quality than the shit quality from outside, so the person must’ve connected to it, make the cameras believe that the phone camera is the real camera, turn on the flashlight in the dark, and make the picture black and white.
I once had my security cameras hacked into by my neighbor and they connected their camera to it and recorded my window to creep me out, but once I got really scared she fessed up
It's kind of the point The paranormal board writers and those who visit it go to get scared and you don't really expect something true It's just good writing most the time
The motion cameras would have been going off the entire time they were moving about. Not just snapping a rando with exactly no context. Every time. And its clear he unplugged something so he could take angle shots of his room, he then chose the best one. But pointed out the discrepancies after he thought someone might notice.
I was drawing while listening to this video and looked up right when the ghost hit the door. Made me jump out of my skin since it was a sudden sound effect that wasn't Nexpo's voice LOL
I love how the narrator sometimes pauses for dramatic effect, but what I love even more is that the effect has absolutely no impact on me and many others either lmao.
those consumer security cameras are notorious for having unsecured network connections - I think it might have even been you that made a video about those awful websites where people just tap into random private cameras around the world. It’s more than likely that the cameras just picked up a neighbor’s feed. Especially since that last bedroom shot had an arm in it while they were supposedly out of town. Still creepy but not impossible. That first time was certainly a real break-in attempt though. Probably some dumbass thinking he was so smart for trying to get in through the cat door.
"Yeah its just ghosts, nothing unusual, happens all the time. Just get your house blessed by a preist and cover all the openings to the house with salt." Police
Is the camera itself mounted to the wall or is the based screwed in and the camera detaches from the base? I got into the logistics of the camera movement, but then he claims to want to walk around naked when he's supposed to be freaked out. Nope, the power of PJ's to protect us from machete welding madmen is well documented. 😜
I knew it was horseshit as soon as they said the camera didn't record anything. You're going to buy a nannycam and NOT have it set up to record? Sure. Another Reddit roleplayer. Theres also the "uhh..", "hmm", "edittacular", all the ellipses. They didn't even try. Not to mention how they tried to explain away the sleepwalking thing with how difficult it would be, unplugging it, dismounting it, etc.. But someone else is doing that? Someone else is unplugging it, dismounting it, running an extension cord into his living room, triggered some motion senses, unplugged it, put away the extension cord, remounted it, and plugged it back in. Dude sealed his own fucking coffin with his own excuse. And then he just.. sells the cameras? All this shit is going down and theyre terrified, as it seems, so they just sell the cameras and forget about it..? Lmao, fuck this is rich.
Also, the redditor that posted it also posts fictional stories to r/nosleep and other scary story subs. Yeah, clearly fake. I've noticed that this channel isn't very thorough with research and mostly just regurgitates reddit stories.
@@damienjohn Extremely easy to produce basically. Garbage horror channels salivate over reddit posts because of how easy it is to throw it into windows movie maker and vomit out a video their gullible subscribers will eat up. Hide in the comments D:

@🌟༻🅹🅰🆈🅵🅰༺ ✓ • 5 years ago 1. I have seen the video and from what I remember it was dark, you could jus see her on top of the sink but that was it. 2. Bro, you are an urinophile.
may yeah I don't get how anybody is believing this lol, the cat is literally chilling there at the foot of the bed while some "intruder" is just walking around and taking some pics.
You missed a possibility, the dude's account has been comprised, possibly through a leak of major company users, People will often use the same email and pasword for multiple services. Doors can be breached often times without much effort at all with simple tools, not even picking locks, slipping latches is really easy if the door isn't fit correctly. The intruder likely has access to the account and purchases an identical camera. This way, he could turn off the outside camera, walk right in through the improperly fitted door latch, do what ever the hell he wants, including unplugging something, plugging in the camera, then putting the plugs back how they were, or just using a power pack to power the camera. Mr. Guy doesn't know about the third camera because the intruder only joins it long enough to take the pictures, and when there is a manual picture taken and the patio camera is somewhere else, he has just disjointed patio camera and renamed the third camera to patio. I am not a hacker, but I could do what was done to this guy for 20 bucks for some credentials on the dark web, maybe 30 bucks for a camera, and 2 bucks for a bent piece of metal. Also the intruder knows when the guy is gone because he also has access to the app and the cameras can show when the guy leaves the house. This is why proper security is important.
@@xeinbee161 I guess because it doesn't rely on ghosts playing with cameras. It makes the most sense and nothing in my explanation is impossible. If I wanted, I could make a how to guide on doing this. ... But I really don't want to.
Yes I agree, This is what I was thinking the whole time. The cameras sharing information via wifi signal opened them up to anyone with enough know-how. If this is even real, which it very well may not be.

How do you manage to scare me or creep me out everytime with no scary person no ghosts, monsters, aliens or anything close to it. Love your videos always leaves me with my heart racing
For the sleepwalking thing There are a few times he had pictures taken while not even home or out with friends. I don't think you can sleep walk and mess with your camera at home while out at a bar with friends
You did a lovely job on this video, but this story sounds very fake to me; again, not necessarily due to its contents but by the way it is told. It just strikes me as the way people talk when they're making something up, and not the way they talk when they're describing something that happened to them. Admittedly, there were a few parts toward the beginning that struck me as the way people talk when they're describing stuff that happened to them, but the farther along it went, the more it sounded like the way people talk when they're making up a story.
Rainy Jane totally agree. Too much detail and explaining why they were doing things. “I closed the curtains because I like to walk around naked..” that kind of stuff. I’d imagine someone just saying “my curtains were open when they were closed before”
A better moral of the story is that you shouldn’t contact authorities. They’ll say your house is haunted, and you wasted your time asking them for help.
Here’s a theory: Someone was indeed messing with OP. They paired a third camera to his system, disconnected the two cameras when they were pulling the prank, connected their camera, took a bunch of weird stills by tripping the motion alarm, then reconnected everything. It’s not a perfect solution (depends on how quickly the cameras boot up), but it’s better than the ghosts theory offered by the cops. It was definitely a hoax (for me, that cop ghosts theory really confirmed it), but I wanted to try my hand and coming up with a somewhat reasonable explanation for the situation.
revisiting... having even an undiscovered, unexplored space in your home is already terrifying... having something staying there unsettling, and having some ONE in there... ...bone-chillingly mortifying...
Okay not staying this is real but I can explain the different year on the camera. They were new security cameras and he probably just set up the time and just hadn't set up the year yet. My dad got a dashcam and it was the same way and still is the same way. (It says 2012 if anybody is wondering lol) and also sometimes some dash cams on cop cars are the same way where the timestamp is correct but the year is not they usually try to correct this though.
doesn't explain why the time is not matching on either camera, he finished a game of starcraft, which can range from 10 minutes to an hour, but usually lie within the 20-30 mark, I find it hard to believe that he had not checked the alerts earlier, seeing as the game is not full focus the entire time, and with our assuming range of anywhere between 15 to 40 minutes, which could account for differing game factors, also since he had technical difficulties, we can assume he lost 5 minutes, so using the 15 minute number, he would have had to start the game at 9:26pm ish, and that would be well past the timestamp of the original pictures that were mysteriously taken. if we assume it was the 40 minute mark, that would mean he started at 9pm ish which makes this seem a little more reasonable, but not by much more, if we assume it was 30 minutes, the most likely number, it would have had to start at 9:10, which is also out of the plausible range, seeing as he would have cleared the alerts/checked them before, if he was so paranoid. So this claim only makes sense if the game time was upwards of 35 minutes. while this is possible, it is unlikely. what probably happened is he took the pictures, played a game, and set them back up where they were, which using the 20-30 minute estimate average, he would have enough time to re set up the cameras and write the post. that is assuming that a range of variables fit, but overall makes the most sense of this situation. and it is possible that those sets of images were not faked, and he did have the camera moved (based on the assumption that he is telling the truth, although that is already unlikely due to other behavior). if the cameras were moved by a 3rd party, it could fit the timestamp of the images. Assuming the game was upwards of 35 minutes. That does not explain why the second camera has such a fucked timestamp (after he quickly took still photos to check the camera location). the year on the inside camera does not match the outside camera, and while others have explained this as a common occurrence with these types of cameras, that does not explain why the cameras time is set incorrectly and it also doesn't explain why they dont match up with time zone differences, as well as the idea that a guy this paranoid about ghosts/intruders would not set up the camera. As well as the camera is connected to the internet, there should be automatic time sync (although it may not be a feature). also, why would a ghost take two pictures separated by almost 6 minutes exactly, just doesnt add up. conclusion: this, along with many other discrepancies, make op, almost certainly guilty.
"Strange things are happening to me! Im just gonna stop investigating and live in ignorant bliss" What the heck is that dude thinking. Get /x/ to investigate it. That's what i would do lol
It was a dead giveaway when they said they had no outlets and they couldn’t go without their fan or lamp... if you’re buying all these security cameras you might as well buy a $10 power strip
To be honest just up and leaving the home or apartment is usually not the best idea for most of these things. People don't have that much money or time to just change places all the time or just buy new houses. Staying over someone's place will not last forever. So its either live with the ghost or be homeless and I prefer living with ghosts that just love to play with cameras. Still I don't think this story is true anyways lmao.
Hey Nexpo, I know this video is old but here is what FlexGunship had to say about your video. "Meh. I don't live there anymore; bought a house across town. Nothing happened after the cameras came down. I got called a liar and got shit on enough to basically just ignore questions. Video seems fast paced compared to real life... Took months for all of that to happen. Weird to see it distilled down to a few minutes."
The reason these stories immediately come across as bullshit is that the people claiming them to be real always act like characters in a horror movie. The only thing missing in the story was him calling out, "Helloooo" when he got home after the "motion sensor" alert. No one in their right mind would go home. You would immediately call the police and tell them there's a possible break in happening at that moment. This is also why all haunting stories are bullshit. No one would stay in a house/apartment/cardboard box where an entity you have no control over is intruding. You would immediately leave.
He could easily have taken multiple pictures of his mounted camera from different angles to post later to show that it "never was taken down." It's not like any of the images of it have timestamps on it
Looks like a selfie, you can see the arm and the chest while tucked under the cover, with a weird figure or shade of something light/white standing at the end tip of the bed...
I have to say that out of all of the channels that cover this kind of content. Your channel is easily the best. Your narration, direction, ambience, and choice of material is hands down the creepiest, most vile and intriguing stuff that I've watched in years. Outside of obvious shock and awe, gore. Like faces of death, stuff of that nature. Rating: 9/10 Keep doing what you're doing, it's amazing.
This is absolutely horrifying. The worst thing that I can think of happening is someone messing with me and stalking me at my own house. It’s basically the one place where you can stay safe, besides like a fire department, hospital, police department, etc. That is a living nightmare.
I'm 95% sure this is a hoax, especially with how it ended, if this was legit happening to me, I'd be afraid to get rid of the cameras, ...or to even keep living in that house. Also, why couldn't one of those devices be unplugged? Who doesn't have a at least one full outlet that they don't unplug things from when vacuuming for example? Even if he had a clock or something plugged in, the intruder could have fixed the time upon plugging it back in.
Alternative theory: The camera's software is garbage and he's getting alerts for super old legitimate videos. Maybe the time stamps got messed up and so he's getting alerted as if they just happened, but were actually archived footage just resurfacing.
I have a similar camera that the OP does. It's not the same brand, but I can confirm that I will get alerts late. It will also go off without reason, sometimes many times in a row for no reason, and sometimes will be quiet (as it should be) for days at a time. I believe the false alerts are from something not visible to the human eye, like distant lights flickering, wind or heat, rain gets in the way of a distant light for a second, mundane things like that. I get more false alerts when there's wind or rain (but this could be confirmation bias). In any case, it's ghosts. Sorry to bump a 9 month old comment.
Yes! Look at the bed timestamps. 12:13 am 2013 (Unplugged clock may reset to 12:00 am) Then, as he's messing with the time and date 1:13 am 2016 Clearly, he's in the middle (or software is) of updating the time at this point (first year then hour). Unless they waited EXACTLY 1 hour to take the second shot (after fixing only the year and stopping).
Oh, and 9:13 as well. These are posted on different days. So either he's checking them at the exact same time as well, each instance, it's a fake and he's reusing old ones for later posts, or the software messed up the timestamps as you said.

He actually planned out at least the later parts of it, he set up the spiderweb in a clear storytelling fashion so that when it was used to prove the camera wasn't moved it was something the reader already knew. It's the classic Chekov's Gun situation.

@@rokukou that's not what he said
1. This is fake, I used to sell, install and maintain security cameras, including wireless Zmodo branded ones, you definetly have the option to disable motion detection and record continuously. With a 1TB hard disk, a 2MP camera (most commonly used) will record 4 months of continuous video at 1080p. An 8MP 4k security camera (extremely rare) will record for a month. In fact back in 2016 most wireless Zmodo cameras were 720p.
2. On top of that if the cameras were setup to only record on motion detection they would record a VIDEO! Not still photos. In fact they would record footage from 5 minutes before it detected any motion (the DVR records continuously even on Motion detection and deletes the videos after a certain period).
3. It doesnt matter what app you use to view the recording or watch the stream, you would never lose the videos if you changed apps, because the VIDEO IS STORED IN THE DVR!! The app only connects via p2p to stream the video from the dvr into your phone. The app does not store the video on your phone, unless you download a certain clip.
I can imagine this person isn't really all that tech-savvy, as they're talking about how the app 'changed' and they're only sharing stills, they don't seem like someone who knows that you should a.) change the default password for wifi cameras and b.) how to go through settings and set up a camera to record. My dad's had security cameras for our property for years, he stores a lot of construction equipment and they help monitor the comings and goings of the people he employs, works with, etc.
I think OP didn't know how to set shit up properly and wasn't about to admit that he screwed up some setting(hell he could have even set up his own phone to take stills every time the phone failed to unlock). He never shows us a screenshot of the app--and the cameras are totally hackable if you've set up Password123 as the password then figured it's totes secure--like I bet you can even save stills from your phone to the app/device. Why not share video? Why not double check all their wifi and camera settings after the first instance of obviously-inserted photo?
So I would say--Fake in that OP clearly isn't able to manage settings correctly, and is probably misinterpreting stuff as paranormal when really OP needs to brush up on their wifi security. It's like if I was one of those parents who kept the wifi password default on a camera or something and then when it was logged into by a random stranger I went "oh my god the camera's haunted!"
This should already be pinned.
Edit: I'm so stupid. Need to sleep.
Definitely**
I'm a cop & am backing up that this is fake.
He's got footage of everything but the cops checking out right where the cops would've been checking.
How much does a cam/set up like that cost?
I'm an Electrical Engineer that has installed dozens of security systems & hundreds of sensors & cams.
Although I've never installed Zmodos in particular, here's what I know:
- There is no way in Hell for anyone to approach, unmount & move the cam around without getting caught by it.
Not even a ghost, since the cam's motion itself would trigger an alarm.
But!
Like I said I don't know those cams, but if they don't send alarms upon video loss/disconnections, then I guess it's doable if they're switched off before someone enters their visual range.
- There is no way he's picking up some neighbor's cam, as someone commented.
Seeing neighbor's cam (which is connected to a different router) is as possible as it is to see a random cam from the other side of the planet: not possible at all.
(Also, why would his neighbor have CCTV cams on his bed? 😛)
So, what are the possibilities?
- He's lying.
- He's using Zmodo's cloud storage instead of a DVR, from which he received some old snapshots from, I don't know, when he was testing/setting the cam on his bed?
Although it sounds weird & it's probably a rare glitch, something similar has happened to me personally (albeit only once).
I was installing an IP/cloud cam & when I got it online, I received snapshots of a workbench, the factory & the guy that presumably was testing it.
- The app itself &/or the previously stored snapshots are messed up & out of order (perhaps due to wrong timestamps or whatever), so he's seeing older snapshots as new.
- The ghost of a hacker or a cat burglar (no pun intended) is haunting him. 😱
Although I'm a cynical, skeptical Engineer, I can't dismiss that last possibility.
You see, my own cams have caught some weird crap over the years, at my in-the-middle-of-nowhere home.
Who knows...
What kind of weird crap? If you dont mind me asking
One hell of an analysis. Could be turned into a video!
Do you think it’s possible to send false footage to the app or camera? Basically hack the camera or app to edit videos or images, or even send new footage entirely?
This justifies my paranoia and distrust of anything "stored on the cloud".
Hell, all "cloud storage" even means is "our corporation will be able to access anything on your computer*"
*short of any sort of extensive software design, I know there's plenty of people who will go the extra mile with shit like VPN's and similar things that encrypt the data better, but for the average person, all cloud storage means is "sign here and trust us to have access to all your data, and we pinky promise never to delete your data if it takes up too much space or becomes an inconvenience(and you can TOOOOOTALLY trust us, right? It's not like silicon Valley isn't constantly "leaking" or losing data to hackers and rival entities")
Fuck cloud storage. If I get security cameras on my house the last thing I want is amy sort of internet connection running them together.

The fact that you're not able to trust something so important as a camera is terrifying. It serves for a fantastic narrative and horror story.
I dont believe in any of this but damn the stories are cool

In my opinion, a well-crafted hoax is more entertaining than non-fiction. Cause this stuff doesn't exist in real life.

Yeah he "didn't have the recording feature set up." Boi you can still screenshot on your phone.

There is also the possibility that the camera was never moved at all. It's possible that someone was able to override the signal by using another camera. If the intent was to mess with this person, that would be far easier than all the nuanced installation and moving around of the original camera.

This needs to be seen
It checks out as the listing does say it's a 2 pack.
If the post is true, they could have had the camera somewhere else (say the front of the house) just not included it's footage as there wasn't anything of note on it
Smugumin the second camera I believe was just unplugged and in the house but that still means that he could’ve just plugged it into somewhere and taken the pictures (also the fact that this guy was behaving just like a character in a movie or something says a lot lmao)
This is probably a hoax, because if you check out FlexGunship's account he posts fake scary stories on subs like r/nosleep and r/shortscarystories, so this was probably one of the scary stories that he wrote that he decided to continue due to popularity
I agree. Also the fact that his thread was moved or continued in the paranormal subreddit. Letsnotmeet is for true stories and events, not the "fake but real" style that nosleep is supposed to be.
@@Jessika28 Agreed
@Major Cbass Also, they could have easily used extension cords to take the pictures that were either inside or in the forest. Or maybe they just took normal pictures and photoshopped it so that the quality looked like something a camera would take

@@blue---monday Mellyanda Ratu I think he might've wanted to make up a convincing story to post on r/letsnotmeet for Reddit karma because his older stories didn't gain a lot of karma.
Stories like his are very common on subs like r/nosleep, but they're uncommon on r/letsnotmeet due to the fact that the stories there are usually real, and when they're made up they're usually not as extreme as FlexGunship's story, cause they're trying to be convincingly real.
FlexGunship probably just wanted karma and attention, like most redditors do, but decided that making very realistic fake stories on subreddits for that kind of thing was not getting him enough karma, and that posting one of his very convincing fake stories to letsnotmeet would probably gain more traction and give him lots of attention and Reddit karma, which it did.

Proceeds to milk the shit out of his fake story
I know I’m a bit late, but working in network security, I can tell you that there are devices out there that will clone your WiFi enabled Camera. So this is entirely possible. A device clones the camera and temporarily disabled it and the new camera becomes the current feed. Then, upon disabling it, it goes back to the original one. It’s not that hard to do. Just a thought
(given its real:) isn't it still disturbing that the pictures captured are of/on/in OP's bed?
Good to know!
So could that happen with his phone if he's messing with his phone at night before he goes to sleep it would take a picture of his bed like that
Riis, read about MAC spoofing. Also, when you set up the cam, you probably only assign it a custom DHCP lease based on the MAC, not add it to a network whitelist, so if one would be to set a static IP on a device and disconnect the other one (either physically or by dropping it off the network with a ton of malfunctioned ARP packets (netcut-style)), it would be totally possible.
I'm wondering how did they get cameras compatible with that system to work exactly like the other ones did. Probably a fake because of this.

Maybe it might be hacked wifi cameras are very unsecured. But yea a hoax is the best option.
Something like that was one of my first thoughts, but if that was the case there's no way the camera would be getting shots of the bed without someone moving it, whether or not it's hacked.
Mmmm true.
BrightBlueInk Could it be hacked to show pictures taken with another camera as coming from their cameras?
0rbital That's what I was thinking. Hack the existing cameras to see when OP is home, sneak in and plant new cameras, make OP think they're being haunted.
What proof was there that it was his bed?
they're wifi cameras... that shit can easily be faked through the use of a phone connecting to their wifi, then sending a signal to the camera system, and voila, magically the cameras are moving without actually moving.
Yeah I wondered that, maybe they're even seeing another camera's feed by accident or something.
@@jack1701e that's what i'm thinking his phone is just capturing every camera in the area for some reason
Yeah, cause the picture of the bed supposedly coming from the “camera” seemed higher quality than the shit quality from outside, so the person must’ve connected to it, make the cameras believe that the phone camera is the real camera, turn on the flashlight in the dark, and make the picture black and white.

You missed a possibility, the dude's account has been comprised, possibly through a leak of major company users, People will often use the same email and pasword for multiple services.
Doors can be breached often times without much effort at all with simple tools, not even picking locks, slipping latches is really easy if the door isn't fit correctly.
The intruder likely has access to the account and purchases an identical camera. This way, he could turn off the outside camera, walk right in through the improperly fitted door latch, do what ever the hell he wants, including unplugging something, plugging in the camera, then putting the plugs back how they were, or just using a power pack to power the camera.
Mr. Guy doesn't know about the third camera because the intruder only joins it long enough to take the pictures, and when there is a manual picture taken and the patio camera is somewhere else, he has just disjointed patio camera and renamed the third camera to patio.
I am not a hacker, but I could do what was done to this guy for 20 bucks for some credentials on the dark web, maybe 30 bucks for a camera, and 2 bucks for a bent piece of metal.

You did a lovely job on this video, but this story sounds very fake to me; again, not necessarily due to its contents but by the way it is told. It just strikes me as the way people talk when they're making something up, and not the way they talk when they're describing something that happened to them. Admittedly, there were a few parts toward the beginning that struck me as the way people talk when they're describing stuff that happened to them, but the farther along it went, the more it sounded like the way people talk when they're making up a story.
Rainy Jane totally agree. Too much detail and explaining why they were doing things. “I closed the curtains because I like to walk around naked..” that kind of stuff. I’d imagine someone just saying “my curtains were open when they were closed before”
Odds are the first post was somewhat real (Stray cat or something) but then he just made it supernatural to get more karma.
Thanks to my female friend...
That's why i hate this genre (when it isn't a straight up lie)
Moral of the story: don't buy stuff with 3 out of 5 stars
Yea!
A better moral of the story is that you shouldn’t contact authorities. They’ll say your house is haunted, and you wasted your time asking them for help.
he ordered two cameras tho. wheres the second one?
7:40
Here’s a theory: Someone was indeed messing with OP. They paired a third camera to his system, disconnected the two cameras when they were pulling the prank, connected their camera, took a bunch of weird stills by tripping the motion alarm, then reconnected everything. It’s not a perfect solution (depends on how quickly the cameras boot up), but it’s better than the ghosts theory offered by the cops.
It was definitely a hoax (for me, that cop ghosts theory really confirmed it), but I wanted to try my hand and coming up with a somewhat reasonable explanation for the situation.
the only thing keeping me watching this video was making sure their cats would be ok
“my female cat” is already enough to make it obvious this is fake. there’s no reason they wouldn’t call their cats by their names in the story
Lol you're right
What about to protect potential passwords or security questions?
I mean, it sounds better than "jeremy started meowing and karen started to hiss"
Tbh I don't call my cats by their names in stories too. Most of the time it gets confusing for readers.
I disagree, I'm suspicious that its fake, but female cat isn't enough to entirely rule it out.

So he’s just scrolling through reddit responses and suddenly a whole essay just takes up the whole screen
revisiting... having even an undiscovered, unexplored space in your home is already terrifying... having something staying there unsettling, and having some ONE in there...
...bone-chillingly mortifying...
It's fake, too much narrative.
Everything's fake dood. The world is all fake news!
and plus the camera dates are not matching. One photo is from 2013 on the top of the camera you can see, and the second is from 2016.
Who cares? Can't you just enjoy the video?
Mangled Bot debating the authenticity of the story is part of the point of the video
*"It's fake, too much narrative."* -literally the first damn thing said in this comment chain

The timestamp on the picture on the left says 2013
Okay not staying this is real but I can explain the different year on the camera. They were new security cameras and he probably just set up the time and just hadn't set up the year yet. My dad got a dashcam and it was the same way and still is the same way. (It says 2012 if anybody is wondering lol) and also sometimes some dash cams on cop cars are the same way where the timestamp is correct but the year is not they usually try to correct this though.
doesn't explain why the time is not matching on either camera, he finished a game of starcraft, which can range from 10 minutes to an hour, but usually lie within the 20-30 mark, I find it hard to believe that he had not checked the alerts earlier, seeing as the game is not full focus the entire time, and with our assuming range of anywhere between 15 to 40 minutes, which could account for differing game factors, also since he had technical difficulties, we can assume he lost 5 minutes, so using the 15 minute number, he would have had to start the game at 9:26pm ish, and that would be well past the timestamp of the original pictures that were mysteriously taken. if we assume it was the 40 minute mark, that would mean he started at 9pm ish which makes this seem a little more reasonable, but not by much more, if we assume it was 30 minutes, the most likely number, it would have had to start at 9:10, which is also out of the plausible range, seeing as he would have cleared the alerts/checked them before, if he was so paranoid. So this claim only makes sense if the game time was upwards of 35 minutes. while this is possible, it is unlikely. what probably happened is he took the pictures, played a game, and set them back up where they were, which using the 20-30 minute estimate average, he would have enough time to re set up the cameras and write the post. that is assuming that a range of variables fit, but overall makes the most sense of this situation. and it is possible that those sets of images were not faked, and he did have the camera moved (based on the assumption that he is telling the truth, although that is already unlikely due to other behavior). if the cameras were moved by a 3rd party, it could fit the timestamp of the images. Assuming the game was upwards of 35 minutes. That does not explain why the second camera has such a fucked timestamp (after he quickly took still photos to check the camera location). the year on the inside camera does not match the outside camera, and while others have explained this as a common occurrence with these types of cameras, that does not explain why the cameras time is set incorrectly and it also doesn't explain why they dont match up with time zone differences, as well as the idea that a guy this paranoid about ghosts/intruders would not set up the camera. As well as the camera is connected to the internet, there should be automatic time sync (although it may not be a feature). also, why would a ghost take two pictures separated by almost 6 minutes exactly, just doesnt add up.
conclusion: this, along with many other discrepancies, make op, almost certainly guilty.
"Strange things are happening to me! Im just gonna stop investigating and live in ignorant bliss"
What the heck is that dude thinking. Get /x/ to investigate it. That's what i would do lol
i like the ghost just screwing with him idea because if so it probably would put everything back perfectly just to add to the confusion of it
It was a dead giveaway when they said they had no outlets and they couldn’t go without their fan or lamp... if you’re buying all these security cameras you might as well buy a $10 power strip
His solution is to ignore the ghost. _Epic_ 👍
They REALLY love that...
To be honest just up and leaving the home or apartment is usually not the best idea for most of these things. People don't have that much money or time to just change places all the time or just buy new houses. Staying over someone's place will not last forever. So its either live with the ghost or be homeless and I prefer living with ghosts that just love to play with cameras. Still I don't think this story is true anyways lmao.
He could probably take some hints from that postcontent channel on dealing with apparitions
Hey Nexpo, I know this video is old but here is what FlexGunship had to say about your video.
"Meh. I don't live there anymore; bought a house across town. Nothing happened after the cameras came down. I got called a liar and got shit on enough to basically just ignore questions. Video seems fast paced compared to real life... Took months for all of that to happen. Weird to see it distilled down to a few minutes."
Bruh so it was fake lmao😂
Even his explanation seems fake
TreeStain “video seems fast paced compared to real life” that was the dumbest observation I’ve heard.
Or cameras were hacked.... leaving the originals untouched
The reason these stories immediately come across as bullshit is that the people claiming them to be real always act like characters in a horror movie. The only thing missing in the story was him calling out, "Helloooo" when he got home after the "motion sensor" alert.
No one in their right mind would go home. You would immediately call the police and tell them there's a possible break in happening at that moment. This is also why all haunting stories are bullshit. No one would stay in a house/apartment/cardboard box where an entity you have no control over is intruding. You would immediately leave.
OP: Shows pictures from camera inside the house.
Cop: Yep. Must be ghosts. Ethereal plane is outside our jurisdiction.
I looove the reddit videos
me too but in my opinion they kinda look unreal/staged
Sooo
Did Reddit Loved You Back?... 😭
It's weird to think how the cameras which are supposed to help with security, can make you a lot more insecure and tense inside your own home.
loving the name change
He could easily have taken multiple pictures of his mounted camera from different angles to post later to show that it "never was taken down." It's not like any of the images of it have timestamps on it
I'm confused. What am I supposed to be seeing in these pics?
The camera was supposed to be aimed at the backyard, not his bedroom or the couch.
@@chadschmaltz9790 Oh ok! Thanks for clearing that up. I was thinking they had one inside and outside for some reason.
It's spoOoOoOOky
13:38 that looks like a chest but alright
It does, doesn't it? A lot of the images were a bit confusing...
Looks like a selfie, you can see the arm and the chest while tucked under the cover, with a weird figure or shade of something light/white standing at the end tip of the bed...
It looks like somebody with their hand down their pants to be honest
Literally hold there phone and puting a black and white filter on
I know this is a hoax. But a small camera could easily be feed electricity from a portable charger.
Pretty sure a phone and some basic photoshop editing knowledge would work.
I think its a hoax or someone is hackimg the camera so it shows a camera on a desk
I wonder if he's tried turning it off and back on again?
Sooooo no one is gonna talk about the extra thicc cat at 5:31

I have to say that out of all of the channels that cover this kind of content. Your channel is easily the best.
Your narration, direction, ambience, and choice of material is hands down the creepiest, most vile and intriguing stuff that I've watched in years.
Outside of obvious shock and awe, gore. Like faces of death, stuff of that nature.
Rating: 9/10
Keep doing what you're doing, it's amazing.
This is absolutely horrifying. The worst thing that I can think of happening is someone messing with me and stalking me at my own house. It’s basically the one place where you can stay safe, besides like a fire department, hospital, police department, etc. That is a living nightmare.
I'm 95% sure this is a hoax, especially with how it ended, if this was legit happening to me, I'd be afraid to get rid of the cameras, ...or to even keep living in that house.
Also, why couldn't one of those devices be unplugged? Who doesn't have a at least one full outlet that they don't unplug things from when vacuuming for example? Even if he had a clock or something plugged in, the intruder could have fixed the time upon plugging it back in.
Alternative theory: The camera's software is garbage and he's getting alerts for super old legitimate videos. Maybe the time stamps got messed up and so he's getting alerted as if they just happened, but were actually archived footage just resurfacing.
I have a similar camera that the OP does. It's not the same brand, but I can confirm that I will get alerts late. It will also go off without reason, sometimes many times in a row for no reason, and sometimes will be quiet (as it should be) for days at a time. I believe the false alerts are from something not visible to the human eye, like distant lights flickering, wind or heat, rain gets in the way of a distant light for a second, mundane things like that. I get more false alerts when there's wind or rain (but this could be confirmation bias). In any case, it's ghosts. Sorry to bump a 9 month old comment.
Yes! Look at the bed timestamps.
12:13 am 2013
(Unplugged clock may reset to 12:00 am)
Then, as he's messing with the time and date
1:13 am 2016
Clearly, he's in the middle (or software is) of updating the time at this point (first year then hour). Unless they waited EXACTLY 1 hour to take the second shot (after fixing only the year and stopping).
Oh, and 9:13 as well.
These are posted on different days.
So either he's checking them at the exact same time as well, each instance, it's a fake and he's reusing old ones for later posts, or the software messed up the timestamps as you said.
Alternative theory: the whole thing is just made up.
Alternative theory: The whole thing is fake and was just used for some easy karma
Damn it, I was in that "spooky" mood all the way to the 12:23 mark. I ruined my own mood laughing at that kid.
