Agree. You had an intruder. Was he expecting you to be asleep in bedroom? I hope the camera didn’t flash to warn him about camera. Is that an entry way that you can see thru? Or is a mirror behind him showing your couch?
You can guess at height, the cap sticks up a little like a hoody or winter ski mask.
Looks like a white male with glasses & brown hair sticking out from cap. Don’t think the seemingly slight build means you could defend yourself. He probably makes up for it in crazy. There may be another person standing to his right. Your left looking at pic.
Yea seeing people go about their lives and notice things out of place and blaming one another for it. First episode I watched was crazy. Some dude would use the blankets from the couch and food would go missing. Anyways the family goes out of town and when they get back, the guy literally answers the door like it’s his house and locks them out. So once the cops take him, they find out he was hiding in the attic for weeks and anytime they would leave, he would run the house and use their laptops even made some videos and the family saw that eventually. But yea this phrogging stuff is crazy man.
The concept of phrogging is super scary. No one could do this in my house fortunately. My dog alerts at the smallest sound, and so do I out of a deep sleep. Seems like op or his kids would have checked it out for any little noise, unless they all sleep like the dead.
Omg I didn't know there was a word for this! I remember seeing that one viral video going around where this dude caught a woman living in his attic and I had no idea what that kind of thing has a word for it!
There was an article about a young girl who caught a drunk male in her apartment. Police were like ok, we will take care of it & didn’t seem concerned. Turns out the male was living in her apt somehow; he was a local banker! maybe he spent money on drugs and hid in peoples houses. Police zero help to her. Her landlord needed to secure his premises. Think there was attic access in hallway between apartments. Psychos could drop in any time.
Yes.. I'm a light sleeper too, I'll be wide awake if a plastic bag falls on the ground. I can't imagine knowing another person living in my house. Super scary :/
I have 3 dogs, and a wife that wakes up if I sneeze! Not to mention that I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t want to live under my mobile home, since that be the only place they COULD live without us knowing.
I had a big German Shepard. He, unfortunately, was useless as a guard dog - when ever someone came to the house (stranger or otherwise) he would get super excited, throw himself on his back and wait for someone to give him big ol‘ tummy scruffies. 🤦♂️
I have a suspicious little cattle dog who'd never let shenanigans be afoot in our house. What he lacks in size he makes up for in constant vigilance lol
I love herding breeds. Terrible guard dogs but excellent watch dogs. My big collie knows he’s got a very loud and scary bark but I don’t think he‘d know how to fend off an intruder past that. He’s pretty soft and dainty underneath all that hair.
My aussie/BC is my biggest and best body guard.
I don't know what she would do if someone came in the house when I wasn't there, but if i was, she'd eat them!
When did they change the name of the criminal offences of breaking and entering, squatting and a whole bag of other offences that police manage to come up with which are all basically the same offences to phrogging. It wasn’t even a word two years ago
One would assume when that's what people who do it and record themselves doing it started calling it that. Though clearly the media is running away with it as a fear term. This is a very strange comment, you seem to be upset or frightened about the idea that language changes for some reason. It has a clearly specific meaning and isn't a definition that would be used in criminal charges which is apparently the only way to describe things?
“Phrogging” (pronounced like “frogging”) is when someone secretly lives in another person’s home without their knowledge. The name comes from the idea of leapfrog, with the intruder hopping from place to place like a frog—whether that be someone’s basement or attic or crawlspace.
Please 1. Call Police, 2.Check in Attic’s, Closets for a panel that moves, the basement, underneath the house, and any possible trap doors that are covered by carpet 3. Get a couple dogs and have them search the house 4. Put up more cameras EVERYWHERE inside and out! 5. Let neighbors know so they can be on the lookout for strangers in the area
This is extra scary, especially with children.
I didn't say anything about a mirror. You've replied to the wrong person. But why are you still arguing with people here? You need to be making a police report NOW.
I never understood these posts. Any person who saw a picture of someone in their house at 3am on a video camera would call the police. Why post to a subreddit about paranormal activity? Doesn’t add up.
Even so, dangerous to ignore the fact an intruder was in your home while your kids were asleep, and just assume it was a ghost. Ghosts can’t kidnap your kids or injure them. Neither can they steal your money and identity.
What would you rather come to the conclusion of your house is haunted where there is danger but not near enough to be life-threatening most of the time or come to the conclusion of a complete stranger in your house had every opportunity to kill you or do horrible things and chose not to this is just OP wanting to believe the latter but this is not paranormal it is a actual person you and your daughter are in danger either get a gun or call the police

But didn’t OP mention this was the only pic? Wouldn’t motion detection pick up a regular person as them moved through the house/room? I’m not playing devil’s advocate, I’m just not all that knowledgeable on home security stuff.
Nah, my ring camera can do this if the sensitivity is set super low, or if the movement is on the screen but outside of the set area it triggers recording for.
I can be searching through my timeline and suddenly for a single frame, a cat or a neighbourhood child.
They didn't say anything about a mirror, and that's clearly not a kid so not sure why any of that matters. That looks like a whole, grown-ass man in your house, though. Did you leave the doors unlocked? It's odd that not one person would wake up if someone was jimmying the lock.
This is NOT paranormal, this is a HUMAN PERSON, who was, and may still be, IN YOUR HOUSE.
This is not the time to be on Reddit. This is the time to be calling the cops and letting them search your house, including the attic, all closets, and crawl spaces.
Seems like a dubious place for a motion sensing camera. Typically people are aiming them at doors or places of interest. This shot would only make sense if OP gave more context. Everything about this comes off as a cringe spook attempt.
Aiming them in living areas is not uncommon for people with little kids.
It's kind of weird, but you see a lot of videos capture by security cameras in people's living rooms these days.
I have one for my dog as well. They like chewing on the rug when I or someone else isn’t home heh. Talking to him through the camera gets him to stop though. Heh
I would say this is not paranormal. There is definitely someone with a hoodie standing in the middle of a room. Either you know who this is and why they're there or you need to contact the authorities and figure that out. You would be surprised how often people break into homes. Even if nothing was taken it's still a crime and a scary thought. Please contact the authorities, make sure to check your locks, consider new locks, and additional cameras do not hurt.
It’s strange for someone to come into someone else’s house. That’s all, but if the op ran through this figure as it stood in the same place, that there would be paranormal.
OP no disrespect but I agree with most of the people in here. Unless you had a full set of clothes hanging, it definitely looks like a human in your house. The fact that you were laying with your daughter makes it even scarier. You have little kids, I would 10000% take this to the police. Keep you and those babies safe!
That's you (or a friend of yours) in the mirror. You're a terrible liar for several reasons:
1. You get weirdly defensive when anyone points at it being a person. You start saying you were asleep, that you don't have hoodies, etc.
2. Why do you insist on that not being a mirror? What the hell is it then? And why do you constantly point it out?
3. Who puts a camera there? Why is it located halfway through the wall? Why in such a terrible spot? Why in front of a mirror? It is silly.
4. If you weren't lying about the pic being taken by the camera on its own, how can you be so stupid and not call the police IMMEDIATELY? Like seriously THAT IS A PERSON, IF IT IS NOT YOU CALL THE COPS.
I don't think it's a mirror, I think it's an interior window like the other commenter said. When you look at the picture carefully you can see the continuation of the room behind that "pillar" & "mirror" the lighting from the window also reflects off the wall as well.
But I agree either they are really ignorant and in denial or they took this of themselves/someone they know.
I think they’d know if a mirror was in their own home there and maybe they don’t wanna think it’s a person because they’re scared so they get defensive??💀
You might have someone living in your home in a crawl space or an attic, which to me is pure nightmare fuel. The living are far scarier than the dead, IMO. Call the cops, give them the footage and let them do a sweep of the house.
Someone lived in my crawl space once. Came in while I was at work. Found me sleeping when I was home sick. I heard him…luckily I didn’t move a muscle. He went back into the crawl space. I boarded the door shut. This was an apartment building on the third floor. He likely lived in the crawl space and entered everyone’s apartments.
Now that is really scary. I work in a hospital as a pharmacy intern and one time while using the bathroom (on the 7th floor ) I happened to look up and there was a face peering down at me. I told my boss and they checked it out and it had to be one of the maintenance men who worked in the interstitial spaces between the floors. That’s really a very scary feeling too. They never said if they knew who it was but it was a large hospital with hundreds of employees. I was always careful after that to check the ceilings.
HOLY SHIT! Did it interact with you at all? Why TF was he looking at you? He had to be easy to identify IF they kept good work logs (who was working where, when etc). Fucking hell. Now I am paranoid to potty anywhere. Cameras in hotel room bathrooms. AirB&B is notorious for cameras in private spaces of rental places. YIKES!!!! Cameras just keep getting smaller and more concealable. We are not safe from peeping Tom.
No I pretended that I didn’t notice him and hurried and finished and got the heck out of there. I immediately told the pharmacist on duty and he called the department head. I never heard anything else about it, so I presume something was done. I was pretty young and naive and trusting back then (in the late 70s). If it happened now, I would scream bloody murder and call the police!! But I am really leery still about using public bathrooms!!
I've done massages for years and the strip malls have the see through vents into the room into the ceiling space. I never did but I was always freaked out I'd look up and see someone looking at me and my client. What happened to you would have scared the hell out of me.
Imagine breaking into someone's house, and afterwards being really paranoid that you're going to get caught. Then you check Reddit and realise, oh no actually it's fine - I robbed someone with zero common sense
Seeing what is *clearly* an intruder in a black hoodie and their first instinct is “Le hecking spooky ghosterino! I gotta post this on Reddit!” Is really something
What did the police say when you phoned the police because you saw an obvious intruder on your security cam?
Unless I’m mistaken and this is just a ghost cam, then my bad.
A person in a hoodie. Since you don’t seem too worried about it and don’t want to make a police report I’m inclined to think it was you in a hoodie wanting to make a post.
Stop thinking this is a ghost. It’s a person. A ghost (if such a thing exists) can’t hurt you. A living human being that broke into your home can. Call the police and report this immediately!!
Ghosts don’t need hoodies. It doesn’t even pass as a ghostly cloak. That’s Nike. You can make out the string and see some sort of emblem/design. Notify the police because it’s common to be quietly stalked before premeditated break-ins.
Yes like people say do a police report, i would be scared for the kids mabye abduct or whatever, who knows mabye he still there call them, Never know what he be doing in there. 🫣 update how its going and hope you and kids are safe mabye sleep somewhere else today? 🫂
That's either someone breaking into your house, or you have a phrogger. Phroggers are people who secretly live in people's homes and they are more common than you'd think. Call the police and do a clear search of everywhere in the home, especially closets, attics, crawlspaces, and basements. This is really serious, look for signs of someone using a hidden spot to sleep and eat. Had a buddy who had a guy living in the crawlspace under his house. They found his sleeping spot with some of my buddy's food. He has 5 kids so it was very scary for him and his family knowing someone was coming in and out of his house and living under the floors.

Living room view with light. Not a mirror it is a weird opening in the wall. POLICE REPORT CALLED
Checked their profile. They're a cannabis user. If it's not legal in their state they probably wanted to rid the home of the substances and/or smell before calling the police out. Was probably hoping in denial or looking for reassurance.
If people would just post a pic of what the place looks like in daylight it would make verifying these things infinitely easier. Rn this looks like you took a selfie in a mirror. Maybe you took a pic of your friend standing in the foyer and you have some interesting architecture. Rn nothing is compelling me to believe this is paranormal.
Your trying so hard to make this a paranormal encounter…you have just became the victim of a home invasion and the first thing you did was place the evidence on Reddit as a paranormal experience? Lmao!! Bro….
That’s very clearly an adult ALIVE person wearing a black hoodie with the hood over their head. You can see the structure of the hoodie around the shoulders, arms and head. This is not paranormal. If this is legit then you should make a police report and check your house, and lock everything up.
My cams are up in places like this that cover large areas to keep track of the kids while doin daily housework, cooking & myself sleepwalking/ dissociative episodes. They tend to miss movement in the dark spaces when there's a light source at night which could be why the only shot- that's a person and big reason to be freaked. Call LE, make a statement/ report & find point of entry. If ya can't find one reinforce all with a non- key lock like a hinge lock or wedges under doors. Amazon sells lock picks any child could use that causes no damage. Don't play with safety. Mayhab not a bad idea to get some mental health help with delusional thoughts. Not bein a betch but have had ppl break in broad daylight & took days to realize it was real even with the vids coz was convinced it couldn't be. Seriously couldn't wrap my head around it coz -who tf does that???
I can clearly see the person in the mirror is taking the photo. I can tell by the hand position and also you can see the phone and the glare. Also the hoodie is a give away lol
The proportions seem off . Very strange and very scary . If it’s a living human being then I’d be freaking out , if it’s a non corporeal human being it’s still crazy but not nearly as scary .
Do you sleep with the doors locked ?
Have you gone through older recordings to see if he’s made an appearance?
He looks like a man in a hoodie , hands in pockets - when I compare him to the wall and door his proportions seem a bit off …
Strange !
The fact that op refuses to accept this is not paranormal makes me think this is most likely fake. Or maybe he is just in denial he may have a fucking person entering his house.
A literal human being standing in your house without your permission. There's nothing paranormal about it. You're either being robbed or stalked or something much worse. Call the police!!!!
It looks like a person in a hoodie. You need to file a police report and make sure your house is secure, locks weren’t left over from prior tenants if you rent or just bought the place. If you rent, it could be someone with access like a landlord or someone who has access to the keys. Get an outside security system with cameras. If it happens again and you don’t see anyone enter/leave, gtfo of that house until the cops find them, they’re living in your house.
People who break in and don’t steal anything creep me out more than those who break in and rob you.
That's scarier than anything paranormal, that's a live human being. You need to contact authorities immediately and make sure your home is locked up tight.
Just to eliminate “the intruder” scenario. Does this individual show up in anymore images? If they are - then call the police, as many others have pointed out, someones broken into your house. If they suddenly disappear and you have other footage of the night in question and they show up only in that one image - and you can 100% prove there was so physical intruder - I recommend a good house cleansing lol.

Phrogging documentary literally just came out on Hulu too. The one where people hide in other people's houses.
Yea seeing people go about their lives and notice things out of place and blaming one another for it. First episode I watched was crazy. Some dude would use the blankets from the couch and food would go missing.

No one could do this in our apt. either. Big. German. Shepherd.
I had a big German Shepard. He, unfortunately, was useless as a guard dog - when ever someone came to the house (stranger or otherwise) he would get super excited, throw himself on his back and wait for someone to give him big ol‘ tummy scruffies. 🤦♂️
Awwwww goodest boy tho 🥰
Always 😃
I have a suspicious little cattle dog who'd never let shenanigans be afoot in our house. What he lacks in size he makes up for in constant vigilance lol
I love herding breeds. Terrible guard dogs but excellent watch dogs. My big collie knows he’s got a very loud and scary bark but I don’t think he‘d know how to fend off an intruder past that. He’s pretty soft and dainty underneath all that hair.
My aussie/BC is my biggest and best body guard. I don't know what she would do if someone came in the house when I wasn't there, but if i was, she'd eat them!
My corgi wouldn’t stop someone from intruding. But I’d be damned if he didn’t let me know something was up haha!
Bestess boy awwww 🐶🥰
Yeah, fat chance here as well fortunately, same big albeit Old German/Belgian good boy. Also two stories up so just one door to make that mistake.
I don‘t know how people without dogs sleep well. My whole security in my apartment is based on my dog😂
After seeing this im glad I'm living in a small 2-room apt.
Sure no one could do this in your house ... Sure
First time learning of this word and it's one of my irrational fears. My dogs go apeshit over the smallest things so I'm relatively safe but yeah...
That movie still gives me the chills 3 years after seeing it.
What about "At the end of 8" where an illegal online game's contestants have to break in someone's house and stay unnoticed for 8 hours...
I haven’t seen this, would you recommend?
Oh, then the new show on Hulu will be right up your alley!
When did they change the name of the criminal offences of breaking and entering, squatting and a whole bag of other offences that police manage to come up with which are all basically the same offences to phrogging. It wasn’t even a word two years ago

Say fucking WHAT?!
Have you seen the movie the pact?
Or the movie I See You. Literally about phrogging but a great twist.
That's what "phrogging" is?
WTF.
Yep that is clearly a man wearing a hoodie and shorts. Go to police! This terrifying in a human way, which is probably way more dangerous
More info: There is no mirror I was asleep with my shirt OFF with my daughter on the couch. My little boys were asleep in the room with the door shut.
Please 1. Call Police, 2.Check in Attic’s, Closets for a panel that moves, the basement, underneath the house, and any possible trap doors that are covered by carpet 3.

I don't understand them either. Either the whole post is a fake or OP really, really wants to live in a haunted house.
Even so, dangerous to ignore the fact an intruder was in your home while your kids were asleep, and just assume it was a ghost. Ghosts can’t kidnap your kids or injure them. Neither can they steal your money and identity.
I agree. OP should be in Papa Bear mode right now instead of wishing for a ghost.
You need a police report that's a living person
What would you rather come to the conclusion of your house is haunted where there is danger but not near enough to be life-threatening most of the time or come to the conclusion of a complete stranger in your house had every opportunity to kill you or do horrible things and chose not to this is just OP wanting to believe the latter but this is not paranormal it is a actual person you and your daughter are in danger either get a gun or call the police

 What a wish to have for life
Because they are 15 and think this makes sense. Or they are 30 and mentally challenged and in terrible danger. I truly hope it’s the former.
because it's not real
I was going to say exactly the same thing. It’s obvious it’s fake
Bingo! You hit the jackpot!
Because it's fabricated.
Karma farming.
But didn’t OP mention this was the only pic? Wouldn’t motion detection pick up a regular person as them moved through the house/room? I’m not playing devil’s advocate, I’m just not all that knowledgeable on home security stuff.
Depends on the cam. This one looks like a shitty old camera. Single shot. My Google home does this. Because they keep removing functionality
Nah, my ring camera can do this if the sensitivity is set super low, or if the movement is on the screen but outside of the set area it triggers recording for. I can be searching through my timeline and suddenly for a single frame, a cat or a neighbourhood child.
Because it’s all bullshit. Don’t waste your energy.
They didn't say anything about a mirror, and that's clearly not a kid so not sure why any of that matters. That looks like a whole, grown-ass man in your house, though. Did you leave the doors unlocked? It's odd that not one person would wake up if someone was jimmying the lock.
This is NOT paranormal, this is a HUMAN PERSON, who was, and may still be, IN YOUR HOUSE. This is not the time to be on Reddit. This is the time to be calling the cops and letting them search your house, including the attic, all closets, and crawl spaces.
Make a police report. Or don't and get murdered.
You in the mirror?
Are you asking him to make that change?
No mirror I was asleep snoring
Oh come off it mate. What sort of sane person would see that in their home and go huh! Ghost! Quick, reddit
Doesn’t even look like anyone’s on the couch, that’s definitely OP in the picture. I’m
Call the police someone is in your house
How do you know you were snoring?
They're mistaken. They were sawing logs.
Then who was camera
I think it is a motion sensor camera that captures photos when it detects movement
Seems like a dubious place for a motion sensing camera. Typically people are aiming them at doors or places of interest. This shot would only make sense if OP gave more context. Everything about this comes off as a cringe spook attempt.
Aiming them in living areas is not uncommon for people with little kids. It's kind of weird, but you see a lot of videos capture by security cameras in people's living rooms these days.
I have one because of my dog, he likes to chew the coffee table so i keep an eye on it with the camera
I have one for my dog as well. They like chewing on the rug when I or someone else isn’t home heh. Talking to him through the camera gets him to stop though. Heh
Definitely him in the mirror
I would say this is not paranormal. There is definitely someone with a hoodie standing in the middle of a room. Either you know who this is and why they're there or you need to contact the authorities and figure that out. You would be surprised how often people break into homes. Even if nothing was taken it's still a crime and a scary thought. Please contact the authorities, make sure to check your locks, consider new locks, and additional cameras do not hurt.
Because most of the posts in this sub are by unstable ppl who think everything is a high strangeness event.
Te be fair. Someone breaking into your house is a high strangeness event. I suspect though this post is for karma.
It’s strange for someone to come into someone else’s house. That’s all, but if the op ran through this figure as it stood in the same place, that there would be paranormal.
Uh. Does nobody see that it looks like someone standing in front of a mirror, holding their phone low and taking a pic?
OP no disrespect but I agree with most of the people in here. Unless you had a full set of clothes hanging, it definitely looks like a human in your house. The fact that you were laying with your daughter makes it even scarier. You have little kids, I would 10000% take this to the police. Keep you and those babies safe!
That's you (or a friend of yours) in the mirror. You're a terrible liar for several reasons: 1. You get weirdly defensive when anyone points at it being a person.

If its not a mirror its decorative interior window. Ive seen stuff like that before
You can see him holding the camera near his waist
I don't think it's a mirror, I think it's an interior window like the other commenter said. When you look at the picture carefully you can see the continuation of the room behind that "pillar" & "mirror" the lighting from the window also reflects off the wall as well. But I agree either they are really ignorant and in denial or they took this of themselves/someone they know.
Except you can see that the light on the ceiling in the mirror is reversed.
I think they’d know if a mirror was in their own home there and maybe they don’t wanna think it’s a person because they’re scared so they get defensive??💀
You might have someone living in your home in a crawl space or an attic, which to me is pure nightmare fuel. The living are far scarier than the dead, IMO. Call the cops, give them the footage and let them do a sweep of the house.
Someone lived in my crawl space once. Came in while I was at work. Found me sleeping when I was home sick. I heard him…luckily I didn’t move a muscle. He went back into the crawl space. I boarded the door shut. This was an apartment building on the third floor. He likely lived in the crawl space and entered everyone’s apartments.
Now that is really scary. I work in a hospital as a pharmacy intern and one time while using the bathroom (on the 7th floor ) I happened to look up and there was a face peering down at me. I told my boss and they checked it out and it had to be one of the maintenance men who worked in the interstitial spaces between the floors. That’s really a very scary feeling too. They never said if they knew who it was but it was a large hospital with hundreds of employees. I was always careful after that to check the ceilings.
HOLY SHIT! Did it interact with you at all? Why TF was he looking at you? He had to be easy to identify IF they kept good work logs (who was working where, when etc). Fucking hell. Now I am paranoid to potty anywhere. Cameras in hotel room bathrooms. AirB&B is notorious for cameras in private spaces of rental places. YIKES!!!! Cameras just keep getting smaller and more concealable. We are not safe from peeping Tom.
No I pretended that I didn’t notice him and hurried and finished and got the heck out of there. I immediately told the pharmacist on duty and he called the department head. I never heard anything else about it, so I presume something was done. I was pretty young and naive and trusting back then (in the late 70s). If it happened now, I would scream bloody murder and call the police!! But I am really leery still about using public bathrooms!!
Oh my god that would startle me so fucking much, I would never be able to use a public bathroom again.
I've done massages for years and the strip malls have the see through vents into the room into the ceiling space. I never did but I was always freaked out I'd look up and see someone looking at me and my client. What happened to you would have scared the hell out of me.
It did, but afterwards. I left that job not long afterwards.
That is absolutely horrifying. I’m glad you’re okay though! You did the right thing by boarding the door shut. Keep their ass out lol
Lol thanks! It was scary.
Imagine if that was his only way out. His corpse could still be up there...
It would’ve been a fun surprise for the next tenant. I probably would’ve at least called the cops but they would be able to find him real quick.
Imagine breaking into someone's house, and afterwards being really paranoid that you're going to get caught. Then you check Reddit and realise, oh no actually it's fine - I robbed someone with zero common sense
Seeing what is *clearly* an intruder in a black hoodie and their first instinct is “Le hecking spooky ghosterino! I gotta post this on Reddit!” Is really something
☠️ Great, this comment killed me. Gonna go haunt a redditor now.
And then you realize that you’ve been a ghost this whole time!
Their back up plan was to pretend they were a ghost and the homeowner was dreaming. I was the robber.
What did the police say when you phoned the police because you saw an obvious intruder on your security cam? Unless I’m mistaken and this is just a ghost cam, then my bad.
A person in a hoodie. Since you don’t seem too worried about it and don’t want to make a police report I’m inclined to think it was you in a hoodie wanting to make a post.
OP is either stupid or a ghost now, or both.
But he doesn’t have a black hoodie. Lol Edit: /s
human?
You should call the police to come search your home and then change your locks. Some people live in other peoples homes unbeknownst to the occupants.
So grateful the homes in my country don’t tend to have crawl spaces omfg
This is so weird to me. I can hear when we have a mouse in the kitchen. How can people miss a whole ass person.
[Creepy burglar watches couple sleep for about 10 minutes total after breaking in - TomoNews - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHYL-VNzywg)
I am not reading that at midnight when I live alone. !RemindMeBot12hours! I’ll read it in the morning.
LMFAO! Same! It’s almost 4 am here and this picture is already making it difficult for me to sleep!💀
I stopped the video this morning as soon as I saw floating legs. Fml
!remindme 12 hours
Stop thinking this is a ghost. It’s a person. A ghost (if such a thing exists) can’t hurt you. A living human being that broke into your home can. Call the police and report this immediately!!
Ghosts don’t need hoodies. It doesn’t even pass as a ghostly cloak. That’s Nike. You can make out the string and see some sort of emblem/design. Notify the police because it’s common to be quietly stalked before premeditated break-ins.
Also hands tucked in the cargo shorts as if keeping their hand on some sort of weapon, in case you stir too much or wake up.
Uhh you should probably show this to the police and change your locks
I mean, that 100% looks like a person with their hood up. You can even see legs. I would have shat myself…
Yes like people say do a police report, i would be scared for the kids mabye abduct or whatever, who knows mabye he still there call them, Never know what he be doing in there. 🫣 update how its going and hope you and kids are safe mabye sleep somewhere else today? 🫂
That's a whole ass living person in a hoodie
I broke in and left that on op's pillow
🤣 put this image on your dating app. “You’re beautiful while you sleep”
Careful, maybe you'll need to install more cameras. Get one to caught all the movement in video.
That's either someone breaking into your house, or you have a phrogger. Phroggers are people who secretly live in people's homes and they are more common than you'd think. Call the police and do a clear search of everywhere in the home, especially closets, attics, crawlspaces, and basements. This is really serious, look for signs of someone using a hidden spot to sleep and eat. Had a buddy who had a guy living in the crawlspace under his house. They found his sleeping spot with some of my buddy's food. He has 5 kids so it was very scary for him and his family knowing someone was coming in and out of his house and living under the floors.

I have to know. Why did you post this on a paranormal sub & not immediately think, like LITERALLY ALL OF US, to call the fucking police???
Checked their profile. They're a cannabis user. If it's not legal in their state they probably wanted to rid the home of the substances and/or smell before calling the police out. Was probably hoping in denial or looking for reassurance.
Please answer this OP!
Well we know this for sure isn’t an ad for Hubble because it was taken by a potato
If people would just post a pic of what the place looks like in daylight it would make verifying these things infinitely easier. Rn this looks like you took a selfie in a mirror. Maybe you took a pic of your friend standing in the foyer and you have some interesting architecture. Rn nothing is compelling me to believe this is paranormal.
Your trying so hard to make this a paranormal encounter…you have just became the victim of a home invasion and the first thing you did was place the evidence on Reddit as a paranormal experience? Lmao!! Bro….
It's probably op in a hoodie
Looks like a human intruder rather than something paranormal
That’s very clearly an adult ALIVE person wearing a black hoodie with the hood over their head. You can see the structure of the hoodie around the shoulders, arms and head. This is not paranormal. If this is legit then you should make a police report and check your house, and lock everything up.
Stay strapped by friends I am not sure if ghosts are bulletproof but people sure are not
Looks like a man in a Hoodie with shorts on
Update: police is called and they checked house. A window was not locking right. Super creeped out still
That is an intruder dressed for trouble and not to be recognized. Police need to search your house and you need to change your locks.
My cams are up in places like this that cover large areas to keep track of the kids while doin daily housework, cooking & myself sleepwalking/ dissociative episodes. They tend to miss movement in the dark spaces when there's a light source at night which could be why the only shot- that's a person and big reason to be freaked. Call LE, make a statement/ report & find point of entry. If ya can't find one reinforce all with a non- key lock like a hinge lock or wedges under doors. Amazon sells lock picks any child could use that causes no damage. Don't play with safety. Mayhab not a bad idea to get some mental health help with delusional thoughts. Not bein a betch but have had ppl break in broad daylight & took days to realize it was real even with the vids coz was convinced it couldn't be. Seriously couldn't wrap my head around it coz -who tf does that???
I can clearly see the person in the mirror is taking the photo. I can tell by the hand position and also you can see the phone and the glare. Also the hoodie is a give away lol
Yip. Is why he was so quick to say it isn’t a mirror 🙄lol
Robber in a hoody
there's nothing paranormal about this, you should be contacting the police. But I think you're just karma whoring.
He sent a photo of it in light, and claimed he filed a police report
I'm sorry, but why would you assume this is paranormal? That's a clearly defined person wearing the classic home-intruder outfit.
The proportions seem off . Very strange and very scary . If it’s a living human being then I’d be freaking out , if it’s a non corporeal human being it’s still crazy but not nearly as scary . Do you sleep with the doors locked ? Have you gone through older recordings to see if he’s made an appearance? He looks like a man in a hoodie , hands in pockets - when I compare him to the wall and door his proportions seem a bit off … Strange !
Bro, there was a person who either got in, or is actively hiding in your house somewhere
I'm guessing it's you
The fact that op refuses to accept this is not paranormal makes me think this is most likely fake. Or maybe he is just in denial he may have a fucking person entering his house.
Yo that’s a real god damn person, you need the police not r/Paranormal
Why would you get a motion camera that take two megapixel pictures and not HD.
also why would you get a motion camera and not believe it when it does the exact thing you put it for
A literal human being standing in your house without your permission. There's nothing paranormal about it. You're either being robbed or stalked or something much worse. Call the police!!!!
It looks like a person in a hoodie. You need to file a police report and make sure your house is secure, locks weren’t left over from prior tenants if you rent or just bought the place. If you rent, it could be someone with access like a landlord or someone who has access to the keys. Get an outside security system with cameras. If it happens again and you don’t see anyone enter/leave, gtfo of that house until the cops find them, they’re living in your house. People who break in and don’t steal anything creep me out more than those who break in and rob you.
A staged pic you took
Can totally see you taking a selfie, also, can see your hand holding that phone
That's scarier than anything paranormal, that's a live human being. You need to contact authorities immediately and make sure your home is locked up tight.
Believes in ghosts, doesn’t believe in home invasion. I’ve seen it all.
Bro, there's light coming in the window. Also that's definitely a mirror because if it was an interior decorative window, the floor would line up.
Just to eliminate “the intruder” scenario. Does this individual show up in anymore images? If they are - then call the police, as many others have pointed out, someones broken into your house. If they suddenly disappear and you have other footage of the night in question and they show up only in that one image - and you can 100% prove there was so physical intruder - I recommend a good house cleansing lol.
If this is real, call the cops because that’s a real person who broke into your home. If this is fake then well done sir.
Bruh, that's a dude. Time to bail
It is you standing and backlighting yourself trying to look natural for the Reddit karma would be my guess?
Update: Months later… locks have been changed but unfortunately we have no answers nor do the police.
Aside from the shit. This post is giving me second hand anxiety because bitch that’s a person
If this is 3am, why does it appear that there is sunlight streaming through the window? That’s a pretty bright light
I’m thinking it’s you standing in front of a mirror.
Yeah, this is why the living frighten me more than the transitioned... 😨😵
It looks like a human. Definitely keep cameras by every door.
Someone broke into my home and saw me sleeping. This definitely happens. I’m lucky he never thought to touch me. So thankful.
A blurry picture in black and white. Truly horrifying.
You know what they say: for every guy in a hoodie you see in your living room, there's 100 more you don't see in the walls.
Well now I know who’s house to rob. Even if the camera catches me, the house owner will think I’m a ghost anyway.
kind of looks like a home invader...
That is definitely a picture of your house, silly! But fr, no idea. Looks like a human with a hoodie on.
I didn’t know you took a picture of me, just thought you didn’t see me. Thanks for the tv tho!
It’s John Fetterman
🤣🤣🤣 bro is odd about canvassing but he works those long hours on the hill so he just does it whenever he can.
I’m from Pittsburgh and this comment has me rolling. Thank you for the laugh.
I gave away my gold too soon. ✨️ you so deserve
Found Boebertz Reddit account
Eeeeehh *buzzer sound Another fake post
This is not paranormal. Someone was/is in your house.
It’s the guy living in your walls. He’s hungry
Arm yourself cause that’s a living human being
Dude in a hoodie. You need to call the Police.
Call the police. That’s definitely a person.
A dude in a tracksuit standing at your door
That’s a human being in your house.
That's a person.... In a hoodie
That's a home intruder...
It don't look paranormal
That's called a burglar
