Every family has that one room that feels a little… suspicious at night. The guest bedroom. The hallway that’s always darker than it needs to be. The corner where the air mysteriously drops ten degrees for no reason. So when this family started hearing what can only be described as a “monster” sound coming from the guest bedroom, it makes sense that they did what all of us would do: checked the monitor camera.
And yep, there it was.
In the funny TikTok video of the incident, the camera feed shows the dog posted up on the guest bedroom bed like he pays rent, while the most unholy, not-from-this-earth noise comes out of him. It’s not a bark. It’s not a growl. It’s not even one of those dramatic little “boof” sounds dogs make when they’re trying to act tough about a leaf blowing by. This is a full-on creature-feature soundtrack, like your guest room accidentally opened a portal to the underworld, and the dog is auditioning for the lead role.
The on-screen caption sets the tone perfectly: “Caught the monster haunting my guest bedroom on camera again.” The key word is “again,” because this clearly isn’t a one-time paranormal incident. The post caption continues, “I swear it’s like clockwork lol,” which somehow makes it even funnier—this isn’t just a haunting; it’s a scheduled performance. Every night at 9:07 p.m., the guest bedroom gets its nightly “monster” show, and the dog faithfully clocks in for his shift.
What really sells it is the dog’s complete commitment. He isn’t acting surprised by his own noises. He’s not looking around like, “Who said that?” He’s just confidently existing, sounding like a gremlin with a sore throat, as if this is a totally normal way to communicate in a household. Meanwhile, the family is probably standing in the kitchen whisper-yelling, trying not to laugh.
Also, can we talk about how fantastic this page’s videos are? It’s the kind of account where you watch one clip and suddenly you’re fifteen videos deep, smiling like an idiot because dogs are pure chaos in the best possible way.
And honestly, Lola—my Heeler mix—would absolutely lose her mind if she heard those sounds through a monitor. She’d be sprinting to the guest room like, “NOT ON MY WATCH,” ready to file a formal complaint with the monster department.
Sometimes the ‘Monster’ Is Just a Dog Processing Joy
What makes this video so ridiculously good isn’t just the sound—it’s the pattern. The caption says it happens again and again, like clockwork, which turns a spooky moment into a family inside joke. And that’s kind of the secret sauce of living with animals (and honestly, living with people too): the weird little repeated moments become the memories you keep.
So laugh. Save the clip. Let the harmless chaos be a comfort. Because years from now, you won’t remember the quiet nights.
Also, it’s a good nudge to check your assumptions. We hear something unfamiliar and our brains go straight to worst-case scenario: monster, intruder, spooky vibes. But nine times out of ten, it’s just a dog being a dog—awkward, hilarious, and completely unbothered.
If you want a focused read on why dogs make such odd noises and how to tell when it’s normal vs. a concern, the American Kennel Club has a solid overview.
