From predators under the bed to creepy exes, we look at 8 terrifying accounts of intruders
hiding in people’s homes.
8.
Guard Cat • Five year old, Sam, was staying at his
mum’s place and decided to sleep in her bed rather than his own.
• The mother’s first floor apartment had just two bedrooms, directly across the hall
from one another.
In the middle of the night, Sam wakes up to see his cat on high alert.
He watches as the cat turns into his bedroom and starts meowing.
• Just as Sam is elbowing his mom to wake her up, they see a large figure standing by
the open door.
He quickly slinked away from the bedroom down the hall.
Sam’s mom throws her son out the open window, then leaps out behind him like a goddamn ninja.
When the cops arrive, the shadowy figure is long gone but in the water heater closet was
a notebook with names and drawings, as well as a pair of gloves and gum wrappers.
The intruder had broken in earlier in the day and had waited for them to fall asleep.

Don’t go in the basement • A 16 year old girl is house sitting for
a family friend.
Late one night, home alone she hears a weird clanging noise coming from the basement.
• She decides not to go down in the basement and instead calls 911.
She explains what’s happened but tells them not to rush, it’s probably nothing.
Within two minutes several cops are at the door.
Four cops make their way down into the basement and one stays with the girl.
• She hears yelling and a struggle.
The cops bring out a wild, deranged looking man.
He’d been sitting on the washing machine, banging a machete to lure her down.
She asked why they’d come so quickly and the cop explained that when she’d hung up
the phone the operator heard a second click of somebody else on the line.
He was listening.
People in horror films should take note of this girl’s example; the po-po ain’t always
a no-no.

The Monster under the bed • One woman entered her apartment after
a 12 hour shift and is looking forward to a date with her bed.
• She turns straight to her bedroom, when she walks into the bedroom she noticed movement
under her bed, she stops and says to herself out loud, “Damn, I forgot to lock my bike.”
She exits her apartment and calls the cops.
• The cops arrive and find a man that’d broken in hours earlier and was waiting for
her.
Turns out the guy has a rap sheet a mile long; he’s a convicted rapist no less.
This girl was just lucky she didn’t nod off on the couch instead of going in her bedroom.
I shudder to think.
5.
Attic Ghost • In 1941, Theodore Coneys was homeless
and broke, so he went to an old friend to try and get some cash.
• But Phillip Peters wasn’t home so he let himself in and decided “I’m gonna
live in this guy’s attic, he won’t mind”.
Coneys lived secretly in the house, stealing food while Peters was out.
He was finally busted and in a panic he bludgeoned the 73 year old Peters to death before going
back to his hidey-hole.
Police were confused; all the windows and doors were locked from the inside.
The attic trapdoor looked too small for anyone to fit through.
• So Peters’ murder went unsolved and Coneys lived in the attic for another 9 months
but police eventually found him.
He spent the rest of his life in prison, which he didn’t mind since there was more space
in his cell than that tiny attic. 4.
Carlo the creep • Back in 2005, one woman and her friend
were hanging out on their day off from a busy hospital.
• The friend saw something move underneath her bed and took a gander to see what it was.
There he found Carlo Castellanos-Feria, the 32 year old valet from their work.
The friend restrained Carlo while they waited for police.
It turned out he’d been hiding in the apartment for two days.
• Cops found Carlo’s bag containing latex gloves, condoms and a power cord.
I’m not sure what he had planned, but I’m betting he wasn’t making balloon animals.
He’d also hidden a camera in the room.
The creep got into the house by making a copy of her keys.
At least he went all out with his stalking. 3.
Drugs are bad • A couple came home to see that their house
had been broken into.
• The place was a wreck but nothing appeared to be missing.
Whoever broken in had left chunks of hair sprinkled them around the house like some
kind of psycho’s pixie dust.
The cops searched the property and left with their reports in tow.
When the long day was finally over the pair went to bed, ready to forget about the whole
ordeal.
• Just as they’re drifting off, they hear the guttural growling of an animal from under
their bed.
So they fuck out of there and call the cops back.
The cops find a small, ragged woman beneath their bed clutching a knife.
Turns out the growling woman was on a meth rampage and couldn’t remember where she
was.
So remember kids, if you think there are monsters under your bed, it might just be meth-heads.
2.
Tender Bartender • A bartender came home earlier than usual
one night to find his apartment not quite as he’d left it.
• As his van approached the duplex, he was surprised that his cats came to the window
as they normally do.
He was shrugging this off he saw that his kitchen light was on when it wasn’t before
and saw movement inside.
Very freaked out, he called the cops.
• 5 minutes later the cops told him to wait in his car and went in.
He could hear yelling and after what felt like forever they emerged with a woman in
handcuffs.
It was a woman that he’d kicked out of his bar recently for being drunk and disorderly.
She’d been waiting for him in his bedroom closet with a large knife and a length of
rope.
This lady sounds like one hell of a vengeful drunk.
Bartenders beware, you’re in for a scare.
1.
• Single mother, Tracy, was having a hard enough time lately raising 5 kids on her own.
• In 2012, she started hearing some odd noises from her attic.
She and of her two sons went to check out and couldn’t find anything up there.
They thought, “Mom’s just being paranoid”, even when nails from the roof started to fall
out.
• A few days later a small piece of plaster fell on to her head from the ceiling.
Then after hearing a loud noise, Tracy sent her nephew to check it out.
There in a corner he found Tracy’s ex-boyfriend from more than a decade ago.
He’d obviously been living in her attic for a few weeks and left behind cups of urine
and feces.
What a charmer.
He’d also cut a small hole in the plaster above Tracy’s bedroom.
This creepy Romeo had only been out of prison for 3 months.
Unfortunately he managed to get away and there are no reports of him being found since.
So check your attics and check for meth-heads under the bed.
Oh and always call
the po-po.
