- Dash cameras are intended for security for many drivers,
a way to protect themselves
if they get in an accident or worse.
But as we've seen, these cameras
will sometimes capture very unexpected things.
And sometimes those things are extremely unsettling.

Here are the 10 Creepiest Things Caught on Dash Cam.
(beats howling)

Number 10 is A Truly Wild Fire.
Just after one p.m. on November 25th, 2015,
a dash cam in a firetruck responding
to the Pinery bushfire in Southwest Australia
captured footage of what it's like
to accidentally find yourself in the heart of a wildfire.
The firefighters who were speeding along
in an attempt to stop the blaze
were unaware that the wind had changed directions
and that the inferno was suddenly
barreling down in their direction.
In the video, seconds after
they realize the blaze is coming,
it sweeps across the road, causing utter chaos
as firetrucks collide into one-another
trying to escape the flames.
The fire engulfs the road and spreads
to both sides in an instant.
The blaze would continue to rip through the countryside
for another six days, and burn more than
210,000 acres of scrub as well as farmland.

Number nine is Bigfoot?
On May 15th, 2009, two Georgia State police officers
were driving down a dark, rural road around 8:30 p.m.
when their dash cam captured a dark figure
striding across the road in front of them.
In the grainy clip, the officers
react to the unidentified figure with disbelief
and turn the cruiser around to get a second look.
Upon returning to the scene, an officer can be seen
exiting the car with her flashlight
to investigate something moving in the bush.
You can hear the officer calling out
as he searches, but no one answers.
After a moment, the officer returns to the car
to search the surrounding area for houses.
The officers can be heard discussing
what the figure could have been as they drive.
Was it a bear mysteriously walking on two legs?
Or a harmless prank by some locals?
Or Bigfoot himself?

Number eight is 18-Wheeler Group Robbery.
Just after 10 p.m. on September 6th, 2016,
a trucker driving an 18-wheeler down a dark,
one-way road, found his path blocked
by several large branches on the road.
As he approached the roadblock,
his dash camera caught a large group of people
swarming over the barriers on the sides of the street
and advancing towards his truck from the front and the rear.
In the clip, the driver reverses away from the obstruction
as people outside began hurling rocks at him
in an attempt to break the windows and rob him.
He then realizes that there are people
behind his truck, too, preventing him
from backing away to safety.
So he decides to risk possible damage to his tires
and accelerates forward over the branches.
The driver escaped the attack,
but we are left to wonder what was he carrying
that so many would want to steal?

Number seven is the Girl on the Highway.
In Singapore on a seemingly ordinary drive
down a well-lit Upper Bukit Timah Road one evening,
a dash cam suddenly captured a ghostly woman
seemingly floating in the middle of the street.
As the car enters a curve in the road,
what appears to be a woman dressed
in all black except for a white apron
can be seen hovering above the center median of the road.
When the clip is slowed down for better examination,
it appears as though the apparition has no legs
and simply watches as cars drive past her.
While all this could be an illusion
created while a girl tried to cross the road,
why would she just stand on top of the barrier?
And if it is simply an illusion,
where's the woman going in those desolate surroundings
so late at night and all alone?

Number six is a Locust Swarm.
On a bright, sunny day in Dagestan, Russia,
a dash camera in a man's truck
captured what initially appears
to be a sandstorm on the road ahead.
As he advances, he suddenly realizes
that it's not dust darkening the horizon,
but a massive cloud of locusts.
As he continues to drive slowly through the swarm,
there are moments where the sheer number of creepy insects
almost completely blocks out the view of the road ahead.
This particular locust plague
covers an area of almost 700,000 square kilometers.
These ravenous insects can eat
their own weight in food each day,
making the fact that there are so many of them
truly unsettling.
The swarm seen in this video
could eat the same amount as thousands of people,
leaving trails of barren land
that could mean famine for the locals.

Number five is Ghost Car Through a Fence.
A dash camera in a police cruiser
involved in a late-night, high-speed chase in Texas
documented a bizarre ending in which a suspect's car
appears to vanish through a chain link fence
to evade its pursuers.
Throughout the clip, the driver of the suspect's car
swerves across the road in an attempt
to outmaneuver the police.
When this fails, he pulls a sharp turn
and speeds off with unbelievable speed
in the opposite direction.
Then, the car suddenly turns down a side street
and races towards a dead end before quickly turning again
right through a chain link fence.
The officers are left staring at the fence
as the taillights appear down the road
on the other side of the fence.
How did the car suddenly appear
on the other side of this barrier?
Many have had theories,
but no official answer has ever been given.

Number four is the Fireball.
Just after 6:30 p.m. on November 14th, 2014,
a dash cam in a vehicle driving
down a dark road in the Sverdlovsk region in Russia
captured a stunning eruption of fire
that lit up the night sky as if it were daytime.
While the illumination only lasted around 10 seconds,
it painted the entire sky in a wash of yellows and oranges,
and lit up the scene enough that the forest
and other cars could clearly be seen as though sunrise
had occurred in a moment and then vanished.
While the Russian Ministry for Emergency Situations
officially claimed that it was the result of an explosion,
no sound was heard accompanying the light.
Other theories, none of which have been proven,
include a high-altitude nuclear explosion,
a meteor strike, or even alien visitors in a UFO.

Number three is Ghost Crossing.
In a dark evening in Russia, a car bumps along
an icy, snowy, seemingly empty road.
Suddenly, the dash cam captures
what appears to be a woman in a long, white dress
standing on the side of the road.
As the driver slows down,
the woman walks right in front of the car
and crosses the road without acknowledging the car at all.
When the footage is paused, it appears the woman
is carrying something in her hands.
Why is she out wandering in the dark all alone,
dressed in a long gown?
And what is she holding?
Locals who have heard of this footage
believe she's the ghost of a young bride
who was killed in a car accident
and is searching for her groom
unaware of the fate that she met.
We may never know the truth about this ghostly wanderer.

Number two are the Men in Suits.
As the driver speeds along a narrow road
through a grassy area late at night,
they round a curve and suddenly
see a man dressed in a suit and carrying a briefcase
scurry out of their path towards the side of the road.
He's joined by another identically dressed man,
and the pair run off the road
where they join a group of at least 10 men
all dressed exactly the same way.
The group seems alarmed as they
appear to bob up and down in the headlights.
The camera then pans to show another figure further away
and seems to be holding a lit flare above their head.
As if this wasn't bizarre enough,
at the very end of the clip,
a figure can be seen walking into view
holding a stick from the left side of the car.
Did this driver stumble upon some creepy cult?
Or was it all an elaborate prank?
Unfortunately, we may never know.

And number one is Taxi Stop.
On a seemingly normal night in a large Japanese city,
a taxi driver spots a woman
standing on the left shoulder of a busy road.
He assumes the woman is waiting for a ride
and drives his cab towards her to pick her up.
His dash cam captures his approach to the woman,
who can be clearly seen and is dressed in all white,
staring straight forward and seemingly motionless.
The rear-facing camera in his taxi
captures the approach to where the woman
was standing a moment before,
but there was no one in sight.
Was this woman a ghost of a poor soul
who was killed on the roadway?
If not, then where did she go so suddenly?
