It doesn't get much weirder or creepier than this one! In 2019 in California, a man named Roberto Daniel Arroyo was identified on camera footage in the middle of the night licking doorbell for THREE whole hours. Nobody knows why. He then took a pee in front of the house to top things off!

It's not exactly a terrible thing to find a retro TV n your front porch. But when you think about it it is pretty creepy. This guy goes around leaving vintage TV sets on the porches of houses. He then started to dress as a retro TV to continue leaving these packages. Who he is or why he did it remains a real (and weird) mystery!

Imagine looking at your phone to see a man wearing a dark jacket with his hood up, walking up to the door, and hammering it trying to get in. well this has happened! He then returned with his friend and started kicking the door to try and break through. The home owner called out to scare them and thankfully the pair of them ran off without causing any more trouble.

One person woke up to a movement alert on their ring app and saw that there was a huge fire right next to their house, heading in their direction. Thankfully the couple were woken and alerted by the doorbell app, or the fire could have stretched through their house while they slept.

This man was seen to be having a full blown conversation with the doorbell camera. He was wanting to get inside the house claiming he had worked for the family despite them not knowing who he was. He was very insistent upon seeing the family inside the house but eventually left when he discovered they were not home...

11. An invisible guest

Image source: Ranker

One thing that is totally disturbing is when you can't explain something. For example, this doorbell camera captured a voice, but no image. So you can hear them but you can't see them. How they did it is not known, because from the audio it sounds as though somebody should be right in front of the camera.

12. A man with an unknown motive

Image source: Ranker

This was really disturbing. From what could be seen, someone in a car is waiting nearby and somebody is on the porch. They are having an unknown conversation where the guy in font of the camera is clearly being pushed to do something that he isn't comfortable with. He pretends to knock on the door and even stages a fake conversation with the doorbell. He then asks if a man name Matt lives there before apologising and walking away. He clearly thought better about doing whatever was his initial intention.

13. The man grappling with  the doorbell

Image source: Ranker

This guy on someone's camera looked super intoxicated, and left a disturbing video as he tries to pull the camera and get rid of the camera from the doorbell. He can't do it and eventually jumps over a fence and runs away. Thankfully, he couldn't do whatever it was he was trying to do.

14. The strange bike seller

Image source: Ranker

So it doesn't sound too disturbing but this guy was going around the neighbourhood time and time again trying to sell bikes. But, the way he was acting was super shady. Also, the sounds and the way he was moving make you thankful that nobody was home to answer the doorbell.

15. A rat snake slithering along the door

Image source: Ranker

Okay, not what you want to see when you look on your doorbell camera; a HUGE rat snake slithering along the door. It looks at least 2 metres long. Although I guess it's better seeing it on camera than opening the door without even knowing that you've got a new friend moved in...

16. Leaving a creepy inflatable on the porch door

Image source: Reddit

So this man was not a delivery man, so the family do not know why he came to their house in particular. He had his face covered and he turned up to the porch carrying something. He set it down and then after a while it grew into a huge, creepy inflatable facing into the camera. Very eerie...

17. A van exploding

This doorbell camera caught a van on the road side just randomly exploding and bursting into flames. The footage actually helped authorities work out what had happened. Thankfully nobody had been in the van at that moment as it belonged to a carpet cleaner who was inside the house nearby.

18. Somebody hiding behind the door

Image source: Reddit

Hide and seek in the middle of the night sounds like something straight out of a horror movie. So when somebody is hiding behind your door to avoid the camera in the early hours of the morning, you know it's not for a good reason and it's time to call the cops!

19. A toddler coming to play

Image source: Reddit

It was 5 AM when this homeowner looked at their doorbell camera and saw a toddler knocking on the door, wearing just a pyjama top.

The dad rushed downstairs to find out what was going on and it turned out this little body had wandered out in the night without his parents knowing, wanting a play date!

20. A gang on the doorstep

Image source: Reddit

Okay what's scarier than looking outside your door to find a gang of 6 guys on your front porch? Guys who you have no idea who they are, or why they're even there. And, it's the middle of the night! They were whispering to each other for about half an hour before they eventually left. So disturbing.

21. Someone shooting a gun

They had a mask covering his face, their hood up, and a baseball bat in his hand stood in front of the door in the middle of the night. They were wandering around trying to break in with a baseball in hand. Imaging being the home owner at this moment in time.

23. The creepy clown at the door

Image source: Reddit

Clowns are creepy. That's it. And, this person from Las Vegas had an even creepier clown experience than most of us.

25. A little girl dressed as a creepy doll

Image source: Reddit

Creepy dolls are disturbing at the best of times. And this little girl dressed up as a doll with a cracked skull at somebody's porch in the night (not on Halloween) is equally as disturbing! She was alone as far as could be seen and it was never discovered why she was there as the footage was seen in the morning.

26. A masked man in overalls

Image source: Reddit

The last thing you want to think is that somebody who you do not know is stood outside your house in the middle of the night when they're not meant to be there, wearing a mask and overalls. Why? There can be no good reason for this, making it extremely disturbing.

27. The sleepwalker talking with his deceased grandpa

Image source: Reddit

Sleepwalking is scary at the best of times. But to look out and find your little brother walking outside and talking with his deceased grandpa is another level of creepy. There could be snippets of the conversation heard, such as, 'I'm going to miss you'. This is so sad.

28. A Mountain lion stalking the house

Image source: Reddit

Okay so this is both amazing and disturbing all rolled into one. Because it's truly amazing that there is a wild mountain lion just waking right past your front door. On the other hand, it's extremely dangerous and thankfully this person didn't step outside before they knew!

29. An animals head

Image source: Reddit

You wake up to an alert on your phone telling you somebody is moving outside your house. You look into the camera and see THIS. It's an animals head pointing directly towards the camera. The scary thing is that this is obviously designed to freak out the homeowner. And, it isn't even clear if it's dead or alive.

30. Way too close for comfort

Image source: Reddit

Is there any need to be SO close? It's disturbing. You're watching out at somebody watching in at you  - super creepy. And why are they trying to get so close? They are clearly trying to see into the house. Now this is an image you can't get out of your head.
