15 Interesting webcams

Some livestreams merely involve some random guy playing video games... And others take you to more unique scenarios. From a chance to witness the Loch Ness Monster to a front row seat of the oldest science experiment in history, join me as we count down 15 rather odd webcams.

#15: Bubble Cam

This livestream takes place in the back yard of a Florida couple. The fun part comes from the bubble machine. Click on the bubbles button underneath the viewing window and you'll see a blast of bubbles cover the yard.

#14: Centennial light bulb

This cam takes place in a California firehouse and focuses on a light bulb. That doesn't seem like much, until you read around the site and discover that bulb's been burning for over well 100 years!

#13: RealLifeCam

This website allows you to view the rooms of various people living in an apartment building. Some of the cams are free, but you need a membership to access the rest.

#12: Aquarium of the Pacific

This website allows you to see several aquatic creatures up close and personal. Viewable creatures include penguins, jellyfish and even sharks.

#11: BigRigTravels

This cam puts you in the front seat of a truck driver as he makes his usual deliveries. The whole site decorated like the console of a truck and you can view the action from either an integrated YouTube player or snowman cam.

#10: Watching Grass Grow

This might seem like the most boring site imaginable, but it has some quirks to it. For one, you don't just see the grass grow. Occasionally, a car will drive down the street or the site's owner will mow his lawn. On special occasions, you can see the owner put up some nice looking decorations. The site also has a lawnmower animation that follows your mouse and a MIDI song that plays while you watch the stream.

#9: Cedar Point

This site gives you not one, but two live streams of the famous Cedar Point amusement park, as well as the many people enjoying the rides.

#8: Nautilus Live

With this site, you can witness the strange deep oceans from the comfort of your own home.

#7: International Space Station

Here you'll get to witness the breathtaking views of outer space and the satellites NASA uses to detail it. On occasion, you'll be able view the planet Earth and the NASA crew on-duty.

#6: AroraMAX

This site lets you witness the Northern Lights in all their glory. If you missed the latest stream, you can still see it with the AroraMAX replay window.

#5: EarthCam

This is a site that lets you explore various places around the world, from the bustling city of New York to the beautiful beaches in Australia.

#4: Willard Library Ghost

This page contains camera footage of several rooms of the Willard Library, known for being the alleged home of the Grey Lady Ghost. If you think you see her, you can click on one of the livestreams to submit a picture.

#3: Nessie Cam

With this cam, you get to watch the world Famous Loch Ness from the comfort of your home. If you're extremely lucky, you just might see Nessie herself peer up from beneath the deep. You can even take a snapshot if you think you see her!

#2: Drive Me Insane!

Unlike most of the other webcams on this list, this one is interactive. You use hyperlinks on the bottom of the page to turn various lights on and off in an attempt to annoy the owner of the room being streamed.

#1: Pitch Drop

You'll have to login into this site with either your email or Facebook account (provided you trust them with your personal data), but you'll get front row seats to the longest running experiment on this planet. What you'll see is a semisolid in a funnel. One so thick that from the experiment's debut in 1927 to modern day, only 9 drops of it have fallen through the funnel into a waiting cup.

If you're stuck at home thanks to Covid-19, weather issues or something else, I hope you give these cams a gander. If you know of any interesting live cams I missed, tell me about them in the comments section. I'll see you later. Have a good day or night depending on what time it is.
