Nature can be far more bizarre than you might expect. What animals get up to when there are no human beings around would remain a complete mystery if not for the existence of trail cameras.
As autumn sets in and the days get shorter, we thought that it might be time to get you all in a spooky mood. That’s why the Bored Panda team has scoured the far corners of the internet to bring you the creepiest and most unnerving photos ever captured by trail cams. Scroll down for the eeriest pics. But keep in mind, it’s not just animals that ended up in the frame…

Trail cameras are incredibly versatile tools. They allow researchers, conservationists, and photographers to take pictures without disturbing the local wildlife or ecosystem. Though some wildlife photographers prefer lying in wait for the perfect shot, in some cases, that might be impractical, so they rely on trail cams.

Generally, trail cams are motion-activated, weatherproof, and have infrared capabilities for taking pics in the dark. These tools are also known by a variety of different names, including wildlife cameras, remote cameras, game cameras, and even camera traps. The very earliest cameras of this type actually used tripwires to trigger the tool.

Trail cams can help gather visual data about the animal population in a given area and track their habits. For instance, you can use the photos and the time they were taken to track what animals feed when, how large their social groups are, and how different species interact with each other.

For example, by tracking the local wildlife you might learn about some rather unusual but wholesome cross-species cooperation. Badgers and coyotes, both the top predators in their own respective food chains, actually hunt together for small animals in the American West. It’s the type of camaraderie that you’re likely to see in a Disney animation.

Whatever or whoever it is, it resembles a blurry person running in a housecoat.
Ghosts are real, but even those who've seen them can't fully explain them.
There must be a playground near by. The song would be GHOSTS.

I believe! What is the timer-lapse of the 3 photos taken? Maybe reduce the timing and get more images closer together. . . then become a believer too!!!!
It's just a man running across the camera focus. Just because it's abandoned, doesn't mean that there aren't people running around.
I always get a good laugh when someone says,”I think this is a ghost, but I don’t believe in them”.. um, ok. What you’re actually saying is “I don’t want to look foolish by believing in ghosts”. But knowing full well you’re looking at one, & denying it, seems a bit more silly. - I’ve no idea what this is, but I DO believe in spirits, so, could be. 🤷🏻♀️ Stranger things have happened; people still believe in tRump. 😜
Looks to me like someone in a camouflage outfit. Trespasser on their property?
that's just the toe man waiting for your feet to be uncovered by the blanket
Demon... *I mean*.. Branch or owl, or moth or.. Anything but what it looks like
Clearly it’s a man running with a dog in his arms that is looking at the camera
It's your uncle, and you should probably consult a professional about his behavior.
The slurping finished and the goat, drained of blood, slumped to the ground. 'There is no such thing as a Chupacabra' it thought 'But as long as they think it exists and keep blaming them, I can keep doing this' It stepped out of the forests edge and shuddered as it took on a human male shape. It waled up to the back door of the house and opened it "Hi honey, I'm home" it called and his wife kissed him on the cheek "Busy shift sweetheart? I've put the kids to bed and your dinners in the microwave. I will see you when you come to bed"
Looks like a big, pudgie guy in a zippered to, with fat baby legs, and wearing a diaper. Is that just me? BTW - ghosts are REAL. I’ve seen 2.
That could be me. Nothing funnier than seeking out somebody's trailcams and appearing on them in disguise, and then hearing them go on about skeletal ghosts roaming the woods.
Opossum Pushes Skunk In Pond
As National Geographic points out, coyotes and badgers don’t just have a transactional relationship either. They’re friendly with each other: they’re actual partners and suddenly friendship doesn’t seem like a ‘human-only’ trait anymore. Many of us wouldn’t have known about this without nighttime footage taken by the Peninsula Open Space Trust, a nonprofit group.

However, it’s not just animals that can activate trail cams. Any significant or sudden movement can trigger the motion sensors. That means that these cameras can pick up people walking around the forest in the middle of the night and spooky, blurred objects that you can’t quite make out. Naturally, our minds go wild when looking at these photos, with our imaginations filling in the gaps and weaving theories about what exactly happened out there.

What The Hell Is This.. Trail Cam Ghost?
Body heat can also activate these cams, when within a certain range of the detectors. This is a practical design decision. Trail cams don’t take photos or videos continuously because that would drain their batteries incredibly quickly. Some cams come with the ability to connect them to an external power source or even solar panels, so this gives them extra longevity.

While some cameras store all the photos on internal memory cards, others can transmit all the data to you, wherever you might be. That means that, depending on the gear that you’ve bought, you could watch what’s happening in nature live, from the comfort of your office or home.

It’s perfectly all right to feel creeped out or unnerved by some of these pics. However, most of the photos featured in this list (probably) have a logical explanation about what’s going on. Faults with the motion detectors, infrared tech, flash, and the memory cards themselves can mean that some photos get taken when there are only harmless shadows around or that the image gets corrupted somehow.
Meanwhile, dirt on the lens, weird angles, the wind, animals too small or too quick to be noticed, or even random people passing by can make the entire scene seem creepier than it actually is.

One always has to wonder if these are real or they had someone dress up weird and walk through the property once within range of the camera. Sorry to burst anyone’s bubble of be,if, but there are lots of charlatans out there who would do exactly that and claim it’s supernatural or Sasquatch or aliens or something, just to bet their 15 minutes of fame. Don’t get me wrong, I truly think these things just might exist, but I also need concrete proof, something set up using strict scientific method, 100% fraud-resistant, witnessed by unbiased scientists-and for the FIRST time, getting clear high definition pictures and videos where you can see every single detail. I am sick to death of fuzzy pictures that could be anything being touted as the real thing. I’m not gullible, I have to see clear pictures and proof they’re not faked, to even try to believe they’re real.
yeah and like oh how convienient that its during night and its all blurry and dark

How to think logically: “I see a blurry, low resolution image. It must be a ghost.”
This thread worked on the app when it was posted. It won't now. Weird.
One of those articles that's entertaining thanks to pandas' comments.
Truly awful compilation of badly faked ghostly pics. Very disappointing.
Instead of bitching about the app why don't you just use the website? Are you people not capable of learning from your mistakes and adapting?
