The camera snaps 2 images when it detects movement. First image snapped at 2:15am
Second image, again at 2:15am. There appears to be something on the otherside of the glass door in the hallway. To me it looks like a figure of some sort. I can definitely see the eyes, head & body.
This third image is just to show what it looks like in the daytime with the door open.
I live in an old English cottage built in the early 1800's. The only strange thing that happens with the exception of this is that the upstairs sink tap is often running when I arrive home from work.
Close up image of the door.

My reaction to the last picture.

Now I'm fucking paranoid, as soon as I'm about to go off to sleep.

@OP It's light coming in from the window on the left, reflecting off the door:
does the window face a street?
ThePandaMania
Maybe a nosleep post?

Put salt lines at all of the windows and doors and just to be safe, burn down your entire house.

Please update and tag me somehow. Im horrified but need more. Also please call the police

more like the ghostbusters

If there's such a thing as ghosts then I figure we have to treat them like dust mites: They're everywhere and we can't do anything about it.

It's just me, OP. I like to watch you while you sleep. And gently stroke your hair. In my mind we're the best of friends.
tehmeisterer
We have a tendency to see faces. It's innately human. People who don't have a cognitive disorder, prosopagnosia.

Hello I would like one cognitive disorder please

Fuck you. I'm too stoned and alone for this.

Our brains are so good at detecting patterns - especially faces - that we spot them where they don't exist, and get unnerved if they're off.
Zapster109
Probably just a passing car light, though your brain's pattern recognition is fucking with you - google 'Uncanny Valley'
NotaClipaMagazine
Fun fact! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareidolia
whatupmyknitters
that's cool and all but i'm not really seeing a face there. just the light and that the monitor picked up movement intrigue me.
itsthevoiceman
But @OP is seeing a face, and that link helps to explain why.
Naeaes
I see it too.
snusnuvolunteer
I'm disappointed that it wasn't Cera
brifriend421
Zordon?
absolutelyido
Steven Segal?
GnomeMode
I can't make it out, who'd you put in there?
throbinwoo
I'm just going to go on believing it's tim allen
cinematicheart
I think its the face from the picture frame in the window in the 3rd pic

i thought this said "my pet cat caught something strange" and was looking for the cat in every picture for way too long

ran them through an image difference detector. You're welcome. Changes marked in yellow.
FreeRangeHuman
That is super cool. Thanks.

SmellOfMonkey
Oh, that makes it totally not unnerving
Laynco
So, i still dont see anything different
fryedman
This makes it look like it is just a light change, it was creepier before. thanks for ruining my emersion
quagma
You are very welcome. I try my best.
DukePaulAtreides
Any windows facing/angled toward a street in that room, @OP? Could be a car's headlights reflecting off something in a weird way.
fairycheese
Yeah that's my thoughts
Carnot
Ding ding ding:
Notice how bright the window on the left is, and the reflection on chair/right wall
AbsolutelyUndecided
Depends on how thick the curtains are

People like you are why i dont believe in ghosts. Thank you
rezpawner
Look at the window to the left. It's clearly being lit up.
DirtyDefault
Yes, there is a small window on the front door which is just to the left in the hallway out of shot. But I am still unsure
DukePaulAtreides
If you're really curious, maybe have someone drive by at night and see if the light tips anything off?
Martecles
Hey @OP haven't heard from you in 7hrs. Are you okay?
happiergnome
Black out the window and leave a lamp in the far back corner so the next time you have light to see the demon...
imNotChrisPratt
What about the light source behind the left window that isn't there in the first picture?
ProktorTrosman7
I think you just made OP's day. He won't need to burn down the neighborhood after all.
Satin1
I more worried about the 3rd picture. I mean there wasn't a beat in the fist 2 how did it get there
VikingInOz
That's obviously just a reflection from the clown ghost thing
Smigions
Dam Velma you solved the case. Good eye.
JustThePGTips
Good eye!
GoatKun
good eye, it could be a passing car adn the change in lighting is causing it to trip the sensor. it happens at my work with hanging flags
NotAfraidToOffendYou
Good catch
DirtyDefault
I think there may be a car turning in the street. It could just be the concoction of passing light and windows that's creating this image.
RollforDiplomacy
Time to investigate. Lets see if it happens when the curtains are closed. Its been 10 months. Nevermind
technitium
but still that light wouldnt have been able to hit the door unless it was reflected off something else
FrankLake
It's coming from the UFO.
ceramicpear
KiImoIosbter
That's why he door is opened in the lit up picture. So we can't see that it has no windows.
GnomeHitman
I think there is just nothing visible for the light to bounce off of in the first pic. The only thing highlighted after, is "the object".
shinkiro36
light is coming in from outside the window in the second pic, would light up the next room too.
KiImoIosbter
I think it's shopped because the door in the light up picture doesn't look like it has windows. It just looks like a regular wood door.
christiangoth
You're right that the door looks like it has no windows but probably wrong that it's 'shopped. The light just reflected off of the door.
KiImoIosbter
Then another photo must be shown to sway me. I'm still calling no windows on og door.
christiangoth
So was I, but with no 'shop. I was arguing that those panels on the door are not windows, although after revisiting the photo I doubt myself
Hyippy
Yup and you can see light entering the other room from the same angle in the daytime pic. I'd say a car passing shining light into far room
mrDword
But the curtains are closed
stinkysteve
How do we know they are closed in the other room?
ellert0
To add to that the wall on the right in the lower pic has a bright steak on it, suggesting light coming in from that angle.
handsMoleman
SOLVED ==> I ran the photo through a few algorithms. The initial image with adjusted levels [brighter].
handsMoleman
Then I zoomed in on the area and adjusted the darks in the blue channel
itsthevoiceman
I got scared and then laughed at this ridiculousness!
handsMoleman
Finally, cranking up the saturation on the image in 32 bit mode revealed the culprit:
