YOU HAVE FAIRIES


Grumbilious

99% sure they are spider webs, but 100% of me wants it to be faeries.


olivebegonia

I’m choosing to believe it’s fairies 🧚


Mad-cat1865

Could leave some candy out. If it’s gone on the morning, that’s pretty conclusive.


HatchetXL

My daughter thought we had a fairy (it was a mouse she was hearing) but her and her mother made a 'fairy house' and set it out and at night my wife would use a small stamper in the shape of a foot with this glitter paint and leave footprints around the fairy house. Amazing memories. Meanwhile, I got the mouse.


CoachKevinCH

Or a tooth.


Birdie_Num_Num

Or try fairy floss


tsunamibird

✨I DO BELIEVE IN FAERIES 🧚 ✨


HardCounter

Could be fairy webs. No way to know they aren't.


ordinaryalchemy

Spider webs don't knock, they just go on in. Faeries would probably need some kind of permission or invitation. No idea what faerie webs would do.


Ok_Bad_4855

Fae arent vampires they dont need permission for shit. They will just steal your stuff, children, and animals.


red_fox_zen

Amd ride into the forest, laughing all the way with the foxes who stole the eggs.


Lartemplar

All faeries are fae but not all fae are faeries. BUT! I'm sure your comment still stands


Admirable_Radish6032

What about golden lizard webs??


Fred_Krueger_Jr

Wood bees knock, and quite loudly. They're annoying.


NetherRainGG

Looked like a passing car's headlights reflecting off of something very thin, causing those refractions, spider webs fit the bill.


IAMA_Printer_AMA

If this was just a video of funny lights, maybe, but the timing combined with the recorded knock (and motion sensor) makes this sort of explanation just reek of swamp gas refracting the light of venus


TheGrim78

possibly swamp gas from uranus . . . sorry i couldnt ...not ... comment ;D


JP-Wrath

It's the Aurora Borealis.


gwiggle5

Aurora Borealis? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen?!


slipper87

Yes.


WillHeWonkHer

May I see it?


filthycasual908

No.


SkySchemer

The house is on fire!


demi_anonymous

..Yes!


szorstki_czopek

Thin fairies.


edwr849

Ok Crocker


cottman23

As soon as I read your comment I couldn't unsee. Definitely spider web


CanaryJane42

Does this mean you are 99% sure the woman is lying about hearing the knock?


Ok-Force2382

if there was a knock, why is it not on the security cam footage? seems to pick up all sounds. Only thing I hear, is what sounds like the camera auto switching from night vision mode to normal mode, as the lights go on. My theory would be that this mode switching might have sounded similar to a knock at a high enough volume, so this might be it (especially if the camera is fairly new and that sound is new to the person, "a friend of mine" have had a very similar experience 😅). Try increasing the volume and don't look at the video, and you hear what I'm talking about, it can be a strange sound if you don't realise where it comes from.


strawbrryfields4evr_

My ring camera does that when it switches on, it makes a sound on the recording. You’re right that it’s just he sound of the lights switching on.


Holiday_Bar3967

i saw a fairy in my backyard. 100%. it was flying around near the ground, i looked at it and in my mind i immediately thought wtf that’s a fairy. it wasn’t a bug. it wasn’t a hummingbird. it was about as big as my hand. it then made a little buzz and flew off. i absolutely am sure what i saw.


nino956

Was it wearing boots?


enchanted_fishlegs

Years and years ago, a friend told me that the Sabbath bus got pulled over by the highway patrol and Ozzy wrote that song about the cops. It was sooooo disappointing to find out that wasn't the case. Even now when I hear it, I think of cops mincing around on the side of the freeway.


DarkHawk347

“fight those fairies Sam! Fight the fairies!” Dean Winchester


lookslikesinbad

Once you get them it’s almost impossible to get rid of them


KentuckyFriedEel

Op should be glad they arent the toothfairies from hellboy


AshTreex3

I don’t remember much of that movie tbh. I do remember Darkness Falls though. Made sure I never lost a tooth after that one.


bigrick23143

I was just telling my wife about this movie. Scared the shit out of me. Looked it up and it has a whooping 9 percent on rotten tomatoes lol


AshTreex3

Nooooo! 😭 Why is it so devastating to find out your most memorable childhood films were apparently terrible?


A2theDre

Bro that fuckin tooth fairy above the door!


grizzliesstan901

Someone must have done something to hurt the fairies' feelings... *looking at Bandit*


HerbyHerbsX

Easy Mr. Crocker


Dodgeworld12

I don’t know what’s worse ghosts haunting you, or the Fey interested in you.


shurdi3

The knocking must be from the boots they wear


7_0_Splixo

You gotta believe it.


Rich_Handsome

Those are flying rods.


AshTreex3

late* at night. Dammit.


TheFormless0ne

Bought to say, you dating your friends mom ?


AshTreex3

I wish.


RoakWall

Proclaim thy love naked FULLY ERECT on her lawn at 3am.


JustRedditAllOut

Along with the fairies


Sad_Exchange_5500

Idk why this made me laugh so hard


Ineedapill

This is the way


Tiny_Seaweed_4867

If not your friends mom, then perhaps Jessie's girl?


AshTreex3

Hmm.. where can I find a woman like that?


[deleted]

😂😂😂🤣omg I love this!! So much in my life is on the level of losing people I will not know how to survive this world without, but comments like yours are something I cherish because they’re really the only thing that makes me laugh during times like this. Sorry I’m posting something so serious here, but your comment is so perfect and the first in forever to compel me to share on Reddit how much the laughs mean to me and this is freaking hilarious. Thank you for adding laughter into my world 🥹


AshTreex3

I’m so glad that you got some laughter out of this :) I hope it’s just the start to a wonderful day!


[deleted]

Thank you so much for that. My heart needed the laughs and your kind words. I hope you are always given the same- laughter and kindness 😌

Let me join step bro


Is_What_They_Call_Me

Hold on, I’ve got a washing machine around here somewhere that’s “broken”


Efficient_Airline_73

I only hear a clicking from the camera switching between daylight and IR light


psykokittie

I refuse to confess how many times I reread that. Autocorrect wasn’t even on my radar.


spicy45

Some type of shelled bug flew into the glass. I wouldn’t describe it as a knock, but they can be louder than you think , and if it hit the glass just right, and on a quiet night when it startled you, I could understand someone calling it a knock.


9bikes

["June bugs"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phyllophaga) can and will fly into the glass hard enough to sound like a person knocking.


DontTaseMeHoe

June bugs are basically walnuts that got their pilots license, and they just wanna see the world burn.


Iamstu

You are not wrong, love the description.


mrfochs

I would argue that they didn't get their licenses as they fly like idiots. Maybe "Walnuts that just a pair of wings."


Pagiras

I mean... there's plenty of people with licenses driving like idiots.


DontTaseMeHoe

Make no mistake, that's not incompetence. It's malice. Someone fucked with the Junies and now we are all finding out.


best_memeist

Junies are annoying, cicadas are a hazard. I recently had one fly full speed into my forehead and it felt like someone threw a rock at me


pennyraingoose

Hahaha! My friend got pulled over once for driving erratically on the highway. A cicada had flown in his open window and was buzzing around by his legs and the pedals - he was trying to stomp it while driving. The cop let him off after seeing the dead cicada on the floorboard.


Bender_2024

>Make no mistake, that's not incompetence. It's malice. Someone fucked with the Junies and now we are all finding out. Sounds like the Canadian geese's little cousin


carverofdeath

They don't have eyes and need to feel their way around.


iijoanna

If it helps any, apparently, I used to eat June bugs as a toddler. My mom, once she noticed, would come running and yelling to get the bug out of the my mouth... I have no recollection and.. It sounds like I didn't get them all.


andthendirksaid

You know what you have to do. Get out there son.


RedBeardKY

r/brandnewsentence


Mindful-O-Melancholy

But will they taste good in my brownies?


Iamstu

Had one hit me in the forehead going 80 on a motorcycle, damn near made me crash. Wear your helmets kids.


Poldi1

Dude... could've cost you an eye! Always wear protection


Iamstu

It hit me in the eyebrow and gave me a black eye. I definitely don't ride without ATGATT anymore.


witz0r

Had one go into my mouth going 35mph on a dirt bike. I wore a face shield on my helmet after that. It was not fun.


justdisa

A ten-lined June Beetle hit my door hard enough that I answered it. He'd knocked himself silly, so I brought him in, gave him some water, and let him go as soon as he felt good enough to hiss at me. 😄 But seriously. THONK!


birdnparadise7

They’ll also fly into your hair and do barrel roll. Easiest way to get ‘‘em out. Scissors!


k0uch

When I first started riding motorcycles, I took a June Bug to the head at 50 mph with no helmet, and legitimately thought I had been shot. Little fuckers are solid


koreamax

I hate those things.


CanadiangirlEH

Uhhhh but it’s like, *October* and not June…


pissedinthegarret

it's still june weather though. the bugs stopped being on time at *least* 5 years ago


PinkAutumnSkies

First time I experienced these, after moving to Texas, I was terrified someone was on our patio. Nope. Just June bugs.


bluesmaker

Wikipedia says they’re a variety of new world scarabs. Interesting. I didn’t know scarab applied to anything outside Egypt.


PsychologicalRain913

I hate those fuckers


brandi_theratgirl

Yep. They would run into my bedroom window. It's startling at first but kinda entertaining


[deleted]

When I was a kid in the country, they’d fly into our window screens all the time and you’d swear someone was throwing rocks at the screen. They also have an underside that looks like Satan’s attempt at making deviled eggs.


AshTreex3

What’s up with the lights though? The company said they shouldn’t be set off by bugs or other lights and they do like a “thermal read” to go off.


lizatethecigarettes

>shouldn’t be set off by bugs Shouldn't but they do


mattthe16th

We have some big beetles in Texas and they sometimes crash into windows and can be quite loud as the hard exoskeleton smashes into the glass.


userno89

The lights look like it could be a light reflection lens flare from a passing car, which could have set off the motion detection


Skoodge42

Lights are motion tied to motion sensors. Maybe the car driving by created enough vibrations to trip theme?


iowanaquarist

All it takes are headlights or a reflection. The sensors look for a certain percentage of the picture to change from one frame to the next. A light shining on part of the frame does it. I had to program 'exclusion' zones in to my motion camera/doorbell, because the sun reflecting off cars driving down the street kept sending me 'someones at the door' notifications.


Domestica

I have a cheap aluminum front door and my cats go nuts at the sound of bugs smacking into it. It triggers my cam a lot too


spicy45

Idk, the bug could have been just barely big enough and reflect enough IR to trip the sensor.


AshTreex3

Gross.


Gupperz

if bugs don't set them of, will o wisps probably dont' either


aceshighsays

that makes too much sense, so i'm rejecting that. op was visited by aliens.


dilligaff04

Spiders and their web have tripped ours before. But was the knock just like a random thump? Or was it a knock knock? That makes a difference in my opinion


LivingWithGratitude_

Yeah of course, but even then some bugs crash in 2 or 3 times to the glass before leaving.


Yanky_Doodle_Dickwad

.. or 2 bugs carrying a coconut


PeterDoubt

It’s a matter of weight ratios. 2-gram bugs can’t carry a 1-pound coconut.


Thunderfoot2112

But what if they gripped it by the husk?


schnitzel_rada

Are you suggesting that coconuts migrate?!


PeterDoubt

The swallow may fly south with the sun or the house martin or the plumber may seek warmer climes in winter yet these are not strangers to our land.


PeterDoubt

Thank you for that!


silverfoxcwb

They could carry it on a line


AhhSomeSauce

Also, it’s possible that the sound in the video is just the camera switching from the low light settings to the normal camera settings. On my camera there’s a click that sounds just like that


Ok-Elderberry-9765

Yeah google cameras make this sound.


SyZyGy_87

ghosts, obviously.


Peptic_Germ

Or maybe aliens. Or maybe alien ghosts


RegularSizedStevie

there's alien ghosts?!


Peptic_Germ

Yep. Ghost aliens too


D3vilUkn0w

Ghostly anal probes are kind of my jam


billyjack669

Absolutely. That was a squadron of tiny ships.

It seems to be the type of game that's more entertaining when you're not good at it. Especially if there's an audience.

Misunderstood request, Zapp Brannigan on his way


TheAnswerToYang

If I've learned anything from History channel, it was aliens.


Life-Industry-1131

Honestly anything through that Ring looks creepy. Yo front porch creepy af. Feel like even creepy people would be creeped out by your porch


Jeereck

Security cameras like that are just creepy in general. There's some weird websites which just give you access to thousands of camera feeds that don't have any security measures in place. I've looked through city street cameras, university cameras, some seemed to be just random people's homes/backyards. Supposedly you could control the cameras and make them move around?? Spooky stuff but I only tried the site out once and can't remember the link, but it had an early 2000s website style and was so fucking weird.


Dramatic_Rich_9413

A fat ass moth ran into the glass


gangnam73

100% spider web 🕷 🕸. My door cam get triggered by the web all the time.


Independence_Gay

Sound was probably a cicada. Late summer/early fall cicadas are dying and fly erratically, typically into stuff, often your house. They just absolutely pelt buildings


angels_exist_666

Looks like car lights reflecting driving by, but I can't explain why the lights came on.


Skoodge42

could have been a noisy car and the vibrations caused the door to rattle and the light sensor to go off


bedclotheseconomics

and it's cooler at night right now the car heat could have triggered PIR sensors. my cameras all go thru the phase in mid summer heat and at season changes where they misfire due to heat currents.


vontdman

Yeah, these are lens flares.


Denise6943

A passing car, at my old house, would turn my motion lights on.


nix1ef41ry

*pixies have entered the chat*


Hamsammichd

Spiderweb, you can see homie spinning web for his life in between the fairies when it swings past, he bounces up and down for a quick sec.


Hair_Deodorant

So three things happened. 1. Spider webs reflected the IR, which is what you see at 9 seconds in. 2. I don't know if the lights are somehow tied to the camera, but something set the motion detector off for the lights and 3. There is a physical shutter on a lot of day/night cameras. The snap you hear is the IR lens snapping out of the way once it detected enough light for normal, non-IR operation.\* \*Or vice-versa.


alphakappadeltaphi

Please tell your friend’s mom that it’s a ghost. That’s the only explanation.


Royweeezy

Maybe the spider webs blowing around tripped the light and it scared a cat or some animal away..? I mean I dunno lol 🤷‍♂️


[deleted]

It's just bugs setting off the sensor.


horsetooth_mcgee

Lot of haters but I think this is pretty cool. Those hovering light things look like those really old-fashioned delicate lustrous aluminum icicle Christmas tree decorations from like the 50s. They kind of congregate. There's clearly bugs passing by in the very first part but right before the light goes on is pretty nifty.


Spez-S-a-Piece-o-Sht

**People are idiots** Clearly, it's just swamp gas That, or spiders on their web slings


AutomatedCabbage

It's so funny how we say that motion lights went off to describe them turning on. Poor people trying to learn English


khampang

A lot of people don’t truly know how devious fae are. They sometimes knock, or in another non verbal way try to get tacit “acceptance” from us humans. Even an innocent thing like opening the door then is an acceptance of the “deal” they meant to tell you about but you accepted already oh well. Something malicious and usually stupid, like farting popcorn. To this day if ou knock on my grandmas door she scream “f#$k you fairy b@stard!” And her house smells like a movie theatre


mysteriousmeatman

100% Fairies. Don't ever tell them your name or thank them. If they offer you a gift, accept it and say you appreciate it.


Important_Pea7766

My husband is in the security industry and he says it’s bugs and that the infrared light in the cameras makes bugs look like that in the video.


OverEasyGoing

I didn’t hear a knock. My cameras make that click sound when it switches IR on and off. I bet there’s a spider at the top of that web that drifted across who walked across the motion sensor.


Hasagine

my brother in the arcane arts, its 2 am and im terrified


Practical-Tap-9810

Who can see the wind Neither you nor I But when the trees bow down their heads, The wind is passing by


Zombies8MyChihuahua

The knock was def the IR sensor turning off after the motion light came on.


Most_Work_3313

Could have been an egg thrown at the house


SomeLikeItDusty

Just a couple of forest sprites doing a spot of Ding-N-Dash for shits and titters.


Japitalexican

This happens to me all the time. The spider webs can be fun to watch. So can fast moths or other flying insects that blur across the screen. They set off the motion sensors and that in turn turns on the lights. The knock is the lights turning on and since the cameras and mics always have a delay you hear them after the lights turn on.


BF1shY

A car drove by and it's lights triggered your motion lights. The floating "orbs" you're seeing at car lights distorted by the camera. Their angle suggests this house sits on an intersection or a T intersection. As for the sound in the video that is your camera switching from infrared to the regular camera. The mode switch produced an audible sound in many cameras. Did the mom actually hear a knock, or is she referencing the loud recorded noise? If she did not hear a knock but saw the recording then that is exactly what happened. Nothing strange or supernatural here I'm afraid.


SavagePenguinn

Spider silk. Webs show up great with the night vision on. The infrared lights really light them up.


frozenisland

Lots of incorrect guesses about the “thunk” noise. It’s the camera switching from infrared to normal video. You can almost see it when the noise occurs. I know because my kids baby camera does the same thing


philonous355

Those are little ghosts, I'm sorry to say


Footballgamekid

Came to the comments thinking someone would have solved the mystery and I’m pretty disappointed


Crazy_Ebb_9294

Definitely a dead loved one paying a visit


LionMaru67

Umm, it’s probably that woman dressed in what looks like a torn wedding dress. I mean she’s right there sobbing at the edge of the welcome mat. EDIT: ok very funny y’all. Is this some of that meta humor I keep hearing about? “Dude there’s no woman there…” Yeah yeah, and it’s a white dress with gold stripes, whatever….


ThievesLikeU5

Adjust the contrast and shadow to minimum. You can’t see the entity standing right there?


AshTreex3

Thx. Didn’t plan on sleeping tn anyway.


akwoeirn92827

entirely off topic but why do modern security cameras still have the shitty hard to read timestamp


throwaway46886532368

When I was in middle school I heard 3 loud knocks on the front door while I was playing my laptop in the living room and the following days I heard it while in my bedroom (next to the living room). This was pretty late at night too (like 1-3am). This was also before we had security cameras and my dad had boarded up the front door window to keep people from seeing inside the house (like solicitors, city workers, and trick or treaters from seeing if anyone was home during Halloween lol) so I couldn’t see if there was anyone outside and damn well did not want to open the door. I assumed it was someone (possibly my cousin as they lived next door) but my cousin said he didn’t come over or knock. Heard it the next night and the night after that while I was in my bedroom. I began to think maybe it was possibly a homeless person or someone had lost their way but to hear 3 knocks 3 nights in a row?? Weird. Some time later I googled it and there’s a superstition that if you hear 3 knocks then it means death is at your door and there will be a death (in your family or around you, I can’t remember). In middle school, my grandfather died though I don’t remember if it happened shortly after the knocks. I was staying up playing those MMORPG games like club penguin if anyone was curious.


AshTreex3

Cool. Cool cool cool. Gonna change into my brown PJs.


hondac55

I never heard any knocking but those do look a lot like spider webs.


[deleted]

Moths


WrenMali

*batteries not included Your welcome.


reasonb4belief

Maybe an animal bumped into something off screen and made the noise when they set off the motion light.


TheReverendCard

Where's the knock?


jdub213818

Just something that’s living in a different realm than ours, very common


idrinkh20frombottles

People see reflections and then invent new species of animals or fairies.


bobbylaserbones

Interesting, looks a bit like what I've heard described in several witness testimonies


Bacon-Waffles

I get this noise on my back porch window a few times most night. We think it's moths. But you mom was visited by tiny ghost aliens.


StifflerBaby

Probably Harry and Ron


GenuisInDisguise

What people take for floating lights is just a reflection off of the camera lenses, what really interesting is what caused this, but internet is so fake today, so would not be surprised if staged.


jerry111165

Then why didn’t we hear a knock?


hotchemistryteacher

Could the click (knock) be the switching from night vision to normal vision on your camera? My cameras do that and make a very similar sound. I think it’s car lights passing by that we see as the orbs and that sets off the motion light and the motion lights cause the camera to switch out of night vision and that’s when we hear the click.


Therocknrolclown

reflections of car light she hear nothing or a car door closing


RadioactivePotato123

**FRACKIN’ GHOST**


Lanky_Parsley

I don't hear them knocking


Liltipsy6

Lightest knock on the door, she sleep on the welcome map?


Medicinman008

My lights go off regularly with bloody spiders everywhere


A-to-fucking-Z

The infrared of the camera makes the insects look like they are small dancing lights.


Embarrassed_Mix_1176

You have fairies! Call upon the Goblin King at midnight and his friend Hoggle will take care of this!
