NC woman finds ex-boyfriend living in attic
Arapahoe County sheriff’s deputy Jim Osborn searches an attic while supervising an eviction on April 6, 2010 in Aurora, Colorado.
A North Carolina woman recently found her ex-boyfriend living in her attic.
Tracy, a single mother of five, says she heard banging and thought it might be a ghost.
She sent her older sons to check on the noise and they found her ex-boyfriend from 12 years ago was sleeping in the heating unit of her Charlotte home, the Daily Mail reported.
The 44-year-old had just been released from prison two weeks ago.
She told the Charlotte Observer she thought "there was some poltergeist stuff going on."
The man left the attic with a smile before police could arrive, the Observer wrote.
According to WCNC-TV in Charlotte, he had been living there for about two weeks and spying on her through an air vent in the ceiling of the woman's bedroom.
"I want him to be charged with it," she told the Observer. "It could be somebody else he does the same thing to, but she might not be so lucky."
