Man made terrifying discovery after setting up camera to find out why food was going missing in his house

The New York apartment wasn't just housing him and his girlfriend

A man made a terrifying discovery after setting up a camera to find out just why food was going missing in home.

Back in 2009, actor Joe Cummings was living with his girlfriend in a New York apartment.

Promising the story is ‘every bit as real and messed up as it seems’, he explained he kept on finding that food was going missing that he was sure he wasn’t eating.

He even confronted his girlfriend, but she promised it wasn’t her secretly snacking during the night either. But Joe didn’t quite believe her claim, and set up a video camera in the kitchen with the plan to catch her in the act.

And though he did catch a woman eating his food, that woman wasn’t his girlfriend.

Shared to YouTube, the eerie footage shows someone slowly climbing out of a storage loft in the night, climbing down onto a table before doing her business in the room.

And by that, I mean she went for a wee in the sink, drank something from the fridge and helped herself to items from the pantry.

Making things even creepier, Joe event emerged at one point and the unwelcome guest managed to hide herself from view.

After watching the shocking footage, Joe says he immediately left his apartment and called the police who came to investigate and escort her out.

“The police officers thought it looked as though she had been there for at least a couple weeks,” he explained.

In the description, Joe said he had ‘no idea’ who the woman was and that ‘she didn’t say much when the cops came and escorted’ her from the apartment.

She had apparently set up ‘a little nook’ for herself with a blanket in the storage area that goes ‘pretty deep back’. With no connection ‘to any outside ventilation’.

Asked how she must have gotten in there, Joe wrote: “I have no idea, 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.”

It’s thought she may have been there for ‘at least a couple weeks’ or potentially even longer.

Afterwards, Joe decided not to press charges and ‘felt bad’ for the feral woman.

Well, that’s something to keep you up tonight.
