This is something straight out of your nightmares.

An Arlington, Virginia woman called her landlord after hearing footsteps in the attic. The landlord sometimes uses the attic for storage, so it wasn’t alarming. At first.

The landlord promptly called the police, who found a homeless man squatting in the attic, complete with bedding and a change of clothes. The man was taken into custody.

It’s still unclear exactly how the man wound up in the attic, and how long he’d been up there. That’s the really freaky part.

I live on the top floor of a three story building. If I heard footsteps above me, I’d be REALLY concerned.
