A mother was left horrified after she found out that a stranger had been living in her ceiling for several weeks.
Monica Green from Queensland, Australia, first noticed that items in the house were suddenly disappearing only to appear again in the different spots.
She initially ignored the concerns as she has three children playing around but when she arrived home from a doctor’s appointment one day, she knew right away that something wasn’t right.
The back door was open and the air conditioner was turned on, and what surprised Ms. Green even more was the half-cooked meal of chicken nuggets.
“It felt like it was something out of a horror film,” she said. “I’m meant to e the one that protects them (her children) and I feel like I’ve failed.”
The mother-of-three immediately called the police who found that the attic door was misaligned.
Ms. Green believes the stranger managed to gain access to their home after stealing her keys.
In an interview with the New Zealand Herald, she asked: “What has this person been doing in my house when I’m not home?
“Were they trying to harm me or my kids? Did they want one of my kids?
“Were they going to come down at night and murder us?”
Police found evidence of a person living in the attic but they haven’t yet been found.
One person commented: “It’s very scary that he’s not been found and therefore not explained his motive. The family need to be rehoused.”
Another wrote: “My brother found a hide out in my old house in Doncaster. Sleeping bag and a jacket . I found a carving knife under a carpet in the kids room. We realised someone had had a big secret in there.”
A third said: “This is one scary story you have to wonder what the person was going to do.”
