3 Campers Checked Their Trail Cam — It Had Been Watching Them All Night

Scary camping stories and trail cam horror. Three people put trail cameras up at their campsites expecting deer and raccoons, and pulled the cards to find something had been standing outside their tents all night. True scary stories and creepy stories submitted to Obscure Nights. Something that watches, something that circles, and something that works out what a camera is for. Wilderness horror. Unexplained. Account 1 — A solo camper in Wisconsin pulled his card in the morning and found forty-one photographs. Something is standing at the treeline in thirty-six of them, across six hours, and in every single frame it is facing his tent. It never comes closer. It never looks at the fire or the food bag. And the last photograph is the only one where it isn't looking at the tent — it's looking directly into the camera. Account 2 — A couple camping with their dog in Alabama listened to their trail cam firing all night from different directions. Their dog wouldn't bark, wouldn't leave the tent, and wouldn't look at one particular wall. Something came into the vestibule and pushed at the inner door, and they cut their way out through the back panel. It was a ranger who spotted what the photographs actually showed — it wasn't circling the tent. Account 3 — A backcountry hunter with nineteen years of running trail cameras found his camera had been rotated a hundred and ten degrees, levelled, and aimed at his shelter. The card showed six frames over five minutes of something turning it. He moved it nine feet up a tree where nothing on the ground could reach it. The next morning the strap hadn't been touched — and all forty-one photographs on the card were taken from inside his shelter.
