When you find out your ex-boyfriend from twelve years ago, who was just released from prison, has been living in your attic for over two weeks, how would you react?
A woman in South Carolina started seeing nails coming out of her ceiling, along with her and her children hearing things from the attic. FEeling that something just wasn’t right, the family travelled into the attic where they found her ex-boyfriend sleeping in the corner. They also found Sonic cups filed with feces and urine.
Even creepier yet, her ex had opened all of the vents so that he could look down on the family during the day.
Once being found out, he escaped by foot. Police are still searching for him.
Is this news? It definitely falls under the unusual or rare category. Things like this don’t happen often, and although it’s not a feel-good story (rather, sends some chills down your spine!) I think it can be considered news. It’s not the kind of article you’ run in a newspaper, but on online sites like the Huffington Post, I think it’s acceptable.

And HuffPo has an unlimited amount of space, unlike traditional media that have to make news decisions. Bazinga!
