A New York City actor discovers an unwelcome guest secretly living in his small apartment, prompting a bizarre investigation caught on camera.
In a spine-chilling incident, professional actor Joe Cummings discovered that he had an unwelcome guest secretly living in his tiny Manhattan apartment, consuming his food and even using his sink as a restroom. Perplexed by the intruder’s origin and hiding place, Cummings installed a night vision camera to capture the eerie details and subsequently shared the footage on YouTube.
Cummings confirmed the authenticity of the unsettling situation in his video description, stating, “This is every bit as real and messed up as it seems.” Upon realizing a woman had been living in his apartment, he immediately left his residence and contacted the police. He was not willing to take any chances with the stranger in his home.
“(Her hideout) is a storage loft/area in the apartment. It has no connection to any outside ventilation or anything of that such. It does go pretty deep back in there, almost all the way to over the stove/kitchen area. She had set up a little nook for herself.”
The police arrived and apprehended the mysterious stowaway, who refused to identify herself. Cummings later discovered her hideout—a storage loft in his apartment with no connection to any outside ventilation.
“The only way she could have gotten in is through the window, as I am on the top floor and there is a fire escape. The police think she was probably coming in to rob me when I was gone and decided to stow away in the crawl space. Supposedly this isn’t the first time the cops had come across something like this.”
The intruder had made herself a cozy little nook deep inside the storage area. Though Cummings remains unsure about her entry method, he believes she might have accessed his home through the window via a fire escape.
Authorities speculate that the woman initially entered Cummings’ apartment to rob him but decided to stay in the hidden crawl space instead. The police also revealed that this wasn’t the first time they had encountered such a bizarre case. As for the woman’s actual time spent in the apartment, the police estimated a few weeks, but the duration could have been longer.
Cummings’ eerie experience serves as a reminder of the strange and unpredictable events that can unfold in the heart of a bustling city like New York. As this unsettling tale unfolds, it leaves people questioning their own security and the possibility of uninvited guests lurking in the shadows of their own homes.
