The idea of working security and staring at a camera for eight hours has never appealed to me. I've always figured I'd fall asleep on the job, or get scared being by myself. I never really thought about the horrors that people who work these jobs might see on a daily basis. A few years ago, Redditor u/rudsfromithaca started a thread where they asked security folks and camera watchers to get together and share their weirdest and most disturbing stories from when they were on the clock.
These night watchmen have seen it all, from people acting super weird, to bleak stories of death and addiction, and they're here to spill the gory, unsettling details. If you're sensitive to depressing tales, we'd advise you to steer clear of this listicle and the darker stories at the actual thread. If these night watchmen needed counseling thanks to some of the disturbing incidents, you can imagine they're not for the faint of heart.
