Gingerbread Man’ Spotted in City, Caught on Camera at Home
‘Tis the Season for a Creepy Gingerbread Man
It’s that time of year when holiday cheer fills the air, but in one Arlington, Virginia neighborhood, there’s something more sinister lurking. Residents were startled to spot a person dressed in an inflatable gingerbread man suit and Santa hat roaming the streets, as reported by WUSA-TV.
While a gingerbread man costume may not be out of the ordinary during the holiday season, this particular gingerbread man took things to a creepy level. Witnesses claim that the inflatable figure attempted to open a local resident’s door and was even seen peering into another home’s window. It’s safe to say that this was no ordinary holiday prank.
One neighbor, who wished to remain anonymous, described the bizarre encounter, saying, ”My wife said, ’hey, listen, there’s this guy, he didn’t ring the doorbell, he’s just standing there and he’s in this gingerbread man costume’ and I’m, like, gingerbread man — what?”
The homeowner, upon reviewing their security camera footage, discovered the unsettling sight of the gingerbread man trying to push their door. Unsure of what to do, they decided to report the incident to the non-emergency police line.
Other witnesses in the neighborhood also spotted the inflatable gingerbread man throughout the evening, leaving everyone feeling uneasy. Lindsey Churchill, one of the witnesses, shared her experience, saying, “We kind of locked eyes and the gingerbread man went on his way. So weird.”
A Twisted Fairy Tale Come to Life
This strange occurrence has left many wondering what the gingerbread man’s intentions were. Was it a harmless prank or something more sinister? In a world where anything can happen, it’s hard to tell.
While the police did speak to a witness who claimed the gingerbread man was looking for a friend’s house, they never had a direct conversation with the costumed figure themselves. It’s as if we’re living in a twisted fairy tale, where the gingerbread man is no longer the innocent character who ran away from grandma’s house but a potential threat.
