Mysterious "box demon" caught on camera—should you be concerned?
- Replies 0
Picture this: you're winding down for the night when your doorbell rings unexpectedly.
You check your security feed, expecting a package delivery or a neighbor stopping by.
Instead, you see a masked individual standing at your door, leaving a box behind.
That’s exactly what happened to one York, Pennsylvania, resident—and the footage is enough to send a chill down anyone’s spine.
A chilling home security video captured a masked figure leaving a box on a doorstep, performing an eerie ritual, and uttering a phrase that left the homeowner rattled: "I am the box demon."
While some dismiss it as an elaborate prank, others can't shake the feeling that there's something more to this bizarre encounter.
The figure, clad in an unusual homemade disguise, carefully placed the box on the porch.
They then pressed their hands against the doorframe and rang the doorbell.
Then, staring directly into the camera, they whispered their unsettling introduction: "I am the box demon."
The figure's costume is as strange as their actions.
They wore a colorful outfit, but it was the mask that stood out—a simple white paper plate, roughly cut with eye holes, red crayon markings, jagged black teeth drawn across the front, and paper flowers attached to the sides.
The design might seem childlike, but in the context of this eerie visit, it feels anything but innocent.
Adding to the mystery, the masked visitor called the box a "gift."
But what was inside? A harmless object? A prank? Or something more ominous?
The homeowner, understandably shaken, had no idea who the person was or what their message meant.
Local authorities are taking the matter seriously and have asked the community for help identifying the masked individual.
While some believe this could be a prank taken too far, others worry it may indicate something more concerning.
Police are urging anyone with information to come forward.
If you recognize the individual or have any details about the incident, contact the authorities at 717-467-8355 or email [email protected].
This unsettling encounter highlights the importance of home security and looking out for one another. Even if this was just a prank, incidents like these can cause real fear and distress.
