Staring at Camera Anomaly — Animal Hospital
CCTV Detection LayerEvidence: HIGH
Quick Answer
Staring at Cameras: the patient stares directly into the CCTV camera at all times — even while moving. In person and in the photo they look completely normal; only the security camera reveals it.
How to Spot It
- The patient looks directly at the CCTV camera at all times (even while moving).
- A normal patient stares straight ahead at the office — not at the camera.
- The patient looks normal in person and in the photo.
"One of the most uncomfortable anomalies to witness" — CCTV-only.
What to Do
Reject the patient when you catch them staring into the camera.
Special Mechanics & Warnings
- Don't confuse it with the Camera Monster — the broken-camera entity that zooms in and jump-scares you.
Source Disagreement
Wording resolved: Fandom says the patient looks at the camera at all times, IGN describes it as staring when you check the CCTV — different phrasing, same behavior.
