The cemetery guard heard strange noises at night: one day he decided to set up a hidden camera and was horrified when he watched the footage 😱😱
The guard had worked at the cemetery for many years. He was known as a calm, serious man—and, most importantly, someone not given to superstitions. He never believed in ghosts or the “weird things” the townspeople whispered about. For him, the cemetery was just a workplace: quiet, peaceful, orderly.
But in the past few weeks, something felt off.
Every night, just after midnight, sounds would begin in the silence. At first, it seemed like footsteps—sometimes to the right, sometimes to the left, occasionally behind him. But whenever he went out with his flashlight—nothing. Graves, crosses, stone slabs, and only the wind rustling through the trees.
After a few days, the footsteps were joined by muffled thumps or rustling, as if someone were digging in the ground. The guard sat in his booth, listening intently, his heart involuntarily beating faster. He tried to dismiss thoughts of the supernatural, but the sense of unease lingered.
On one especially cold night, he poured himself a hot cup of tea, sat by the window, and listened. And again—the same strange, unnatural sounds. Not screams, not wind. As if someone were carefully, slowly digging in the earth.
He decided: this couldn’t continue.
The next day, the guard took an old video camera, disguised it, and placed it among the gravestones. He hid the wires so that no one would notice. Now everything that happened at night would be recorded.
When the time came, he sat again in his booth. The sounds were getting closer, and terrifying images flashed through his mind. But in the morning, when he watched the footage, a chill ran down his spine. On the video, he saw…
People. Several men in hooded jackets, carrying tools. They were slowly digging up fresh graves and taking items from them: expensive jewelry, chains, rings, and sometimes even pieces of clothing. All of it was packed into bags.
The guard couldn’t believe his eyes. The horror wasn’t from ghosts—but from the fact that living people were capable of this.
He collected all the footage and took it to the police. At first, they didn’t believe him, thinking it might just be teenagers playing a prank.
But when they saw the recordings, it became clear—this was a group of “cemetery thieves” who had been looting graves for a long time.
A few days later, the police set up a nighttime stakeout at the cemetery. The thieves returned—and were caught in the act, thanks to the guard’s vigilance.
