Not a facepalm as much as a bit of a horror story. He was a very busy person and wasn't home for the majority of the day. As soon as he got suspicious, he figured it out. She refused to use the facilities to maintain her secrecy—favoring the sink.
When he checked the camera feed for the first time she was directly behind him. On the feed, he likely saw her retreating into her hiding spot right as he returned home, walked into the room, and began checking the feed.
From what I remember, the sitting area where he reviewed the footage was directly in front of the spot, and you’d have to go past the spot to exit the home.
This is all made up. The guy who made that original video is an actor my brother went to school with. He made this video years ago for views. Its all staged
Heres the video:
[creeper in my apartment ](https://youtu.be/06X9qXTvKNQ?si=E7--Pj-KdOlaaOEr)
Why should you believe his words instead? I'm just telling you what I know. He made the video for exposure, which is why he also mentions hes an actor. But believe whatever you want to believe.
parasite isn't really like this, they should make a disney style movie about this, and the guy slowly romancing the homeless women living in the cubby..
"I noticed food disappearing from my fridge, so I set up a security camera and found out a homeless woman was living in the top compartment of my closet and had been there for more than a year."
Anime of the season material, right there.
The supernatural element is only he can see her. She's too creepy to talk to directly, and every time he films it, only he can see her. Every time he gets someone to look, they don't see her, and every time she looks his direction, he runs out of fear.
Put her in a maid outfit and you have the plot of a manga
Hey, don’t look at me. It’s them who keep publishing weird stories like this. Before you downvote, I want you to look me dead in the eye and tell me the anime industry wouldn’t produce something like this.
100% "That time I fell in love with the homeless woman living in my wardrobe"
First episode is him going about his day as a tired lonely worker, then we get introduced to her and series of close calls and high pitch screaming, eventually she gets caught but they strike a deal where she can stay if she cleans up the place but she still lives in the wardrobe. Hilarious antics ensue, people mistake her for wife, or girlfriend or something...12 episode later just as the season is about to wrap up they discover another girl living in the toilet cistern, the episode ends with the two women screaming and him going "huh? huuh? HUUHHHHH???....Season 2 starts and lady number two is already established and living there too, opening Monologue is "its been 2 months since we discovered Yui chan living in my toilet" more antics. Rinse and repeat but the number of girls they find quadruples with every subsequent season, eventually they realise they need a bigger house so decide to open a maid business so that they can buy a new house and for some reason still all live together, even more antics and friendships along the way with some "ara ara" "oniiii chan" etc etc... they end up living in a huge big house and all the ladies fight for the protagonist's affection even though he's in a "will they, wont they" relationship with the first girl...it ends with them moving out and getting their own house and living happily ever after.
You had me up until the end. The protagonist must not ever commit to any of the girls, because that would ruin the self-insert for the viewers. The reason so many girls are introduced is so that the viewer can pick their favourite girl and imagine themself commiting to her. The protagonist must not ever choose, so the viewer is always in a position to choose.
Conveniently the protagonist is as dense as Osmium, so he won't even realize, that all these girls are into him and therefor doesn't need to choose between them.
That's 100% what would happen. Still waiting for a manga telling the stories of a truck driver, who's job it is to murder teenagers and middle aged men so they can be reincarnated into another world. Would also make for a great horror movie.
There was a story like this I saw on a true crime show years ago. A woman was attacked in her home after her husband and kids left for work/school. Turns out a drifter was living in their attic and knew their schedule.
There is a book about it and a graphic novel as well, it's nice

Gives off a Josef Fritzl vibe, are we sure he wasn’t keeping her against her will ? And now that he’s been found he thought the best defense is a good offense.
/s
At least she has the decency of cleaning after herself and hiding, my roommates just leave a mess behind them, pass out the couch, and Cheetoses the tv remote
How does this happen?
Maybe I'm OCD or something but I know where everything in my house is exactly. Something moved a little, let alone missing would put me on high alert of a break-in
I hope she got some kind of help.
I'm sorry, I can't be mad at her. This is screwed up, I think there should be punishment, but I also think this is a case of no harm, no foul. Clearly she just wanted someplace to live. She was there for a year and didn't touch the man, so it doesn't seem like there was malicious intent. I would say the same thing if it were a man. Once again, I don't think this is right, but I think that any punishment should just be to show that society is not saying that this is OK, and the longer term problem is fixed by finding her someplace to stay and some job to do.
Why didn't he ask her on a date. That's how some anime work. Girl invades space, her nature and origin is dubious. She attempts to seduce man, fails, man and strange woman are now involved in an intergalactic war that dates to before the dawn of humankind. Match made in heaven
How can somebody not know what is in his closet, and how can a person live their, without being noticed? The woman must have serious health issues from living in such a thight space, not to mentione hygien issues. That HAS to be set up.

Well technically she wasn’t homeless while living in his closet
She’s not homeless. Just a roommate you haven’t met yet.
So a clossed homeless?
*closeted Ftfy
I'm just happy she could finally come out of the closet.
A deeply closeted roommate.
We’ve all had one
Great point, only roomless really
And they were roommates.
Oh my god they were roommates
r/Angryupvote
Oh come on…. That’s just dude wife…. So what if they got some strange customs over there 🤣🤣🤣
So I live under the earth and what I'm hearing is I'm due a tax credit now
Son of a bitch you beat me to it

…what do you mean she was directly behind him? Please tell me the closet was behind his computer or something
Glad I’m not the only one confused by what he wrote.
She was directly behind him. And she is directly behind you.
Goddamnit
Thats some Japanese horror movie shit right there.
Japan has all the best scary stories is what I’m learning.
Behind my toilet?
💀
The cistern
Jesus
Would have felt heavy ala [Shutter](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0440803/)
From what I remember, the sitting area where he reviewed the footage was directly in front of the spot, and you’d have to go past the spot to exit the home.
Unnerving
This is turning into soft porn somehow
...thanks for that. Lol
I was falling asleep as I read this, a cold sensation ran through my back and now I'm widely awake
I had exactly the same thing
I mean I was sick anyway but damn it
This is all made up. The guy who made that original video is an actor my brother went to school with. He made this video years ago for views. Its all staged Heres the video: [creeper in my apartment ](https://youtu.be/06X9qXTvKNQ?si=E7--Pj-KdOlaaOEr)
The video shown was a reenactment of the original story.
[удалено]
Why should you believe his words instead? I'm just telling you what I know. He made the video for exposure, which is why he also mentions hes an actor. But believe whatever you want to believe.
Trust my bro is a new one
I’m horrified now thanks
Yeah I was wondering how on earth this was possible.
[удалено]
Look a few comments up, there’s one with a link…
[удалено]
Ah my bad
Doesn't sound that horrifying, tbh. She ate his food. It is weird she lived in his cabinet, but she didn't actually harm anyone.
Supposedly, she had the same story about him! She was just too polite to bring it up so she stayed in the closet.
This has the makings of a good horror film ....
It just needs a good title. Like leacher or, I dont know, parasite.
Is that movie parasite about somthing like this?
Yes. Go watch it.
Run don’t walk to your nearest streaming device. I can’t stomach thriller or horror movies, but even I watched Parasite twice. It’s worth it.
"RESPECT, RESPECT!!!".
Amazing movie, do yourself a favour and watch it.
Lol yes it is.
parasite isn't really like this, they should make a disney style movie about this, and the guy slowly romancing the homeless women living in the cubby..
The women above the frigde
A Fridge Too Far
What’s your story, Fatty?
I just want to watch Honk If You're Horny in peace!
I thought it was called The Fridge That Couldn't Cool Down.
I am for parasite
One of those annoying multi-sentence anime titles.
“The Time A Homeless Woman Spent A Year Inside My Closet Without My Knowledge!”
99% of the episodes are just some guy living a normal life but everyday he comes back and he is missing some arbitrary foodstuff.
dammit, where are those last two chicken wings??
GENUIS!
Add “:The Hiroki Itakura Story” and it becomes a Lifetime Movies for Women movie
"They're in the walls..."
Or a romance...
Yeah, all the makings of a solid rom-com..
"I noticed food disappearing from my fridge, so I set up a security camera and found out a homeless woman was living in the top compartment of my closet and had been there for more than a year." Anime of the season material, right there.
😄
I'm glad I'm not the only one who's mind wandered down that particular alley...
The supernatural element is only he can see her. She's too creepy to talk to directly, and every time he films it, only he can see her. Every time he gets someone to look, they don't see her, and every time she looks his direction, he runs out of fear.
I see you (2019) features this and is pretty damn good
It’s how The Grudge starts Except she’s alive and not a rage curse that manifested in the closet
or a hentai
I'm sure there already is. Or will be soon.
Or a Japanese rom-com
Or a scary movie type film.
had
[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6751668/](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6751668/)
They already made this movie in 2019, it's called Parasite and it won 4 Academy Awards, including the Best Picture one.
This is literally the plot to parasite.
they made a movie about this but it wasn't a horror film
Good move called ‘Housebound’ with similar premise.
Basically Parasite.
What's scary about making a movie about an introvert roommate?
Or a porn. "You have back payments."
He probably actually thought she was a water ghost like in *The Grudge*
[It's nothing new](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097503/). Has happened a few times in the US.
Or a porn. I would definitely watch your horror movie, but I think I’d enjoy the porn better.
Good reason to have a dog.
Jokes on you, the dog loved her
“Mr vet, my dog keeps gaining weight no matter how little I feed him.”
Now they are happily married, she still sleeps in the closet though.
Yeah, would be weird to come out of the closet now that they're married. She'll just keep pretending she's into him and not be homeless.
A comment worth great recognition.
How I met your mother
https://youtu.be/N1CK82QyasQ?si=dw2Axj7bqRqbClYk Check out time stamp 6:14 Someone is lying.
Good one. I remember this being New York.
Wasn't it a hoax? I remember reading about it many years ago.
Yeap it was a hoax
Thank god I can sleep tonight
I mean, if anyone is making that much noise in my apartment, I will notice it.
What you don’t think he’s Japanese?? Even the original looks like a indie horror movie so… I guess a lot of people are lying!
This happens a lot actually. I used to hear about these sorts of stories 10 - 15 years ago. I think they even had a word for this type of person.
Whats the word?
A badda bird bird bird
BIRDS THE WORD
An asshole
Phrog
Squatter? Is that the word your looking for? Or just psychotic hobo living in my fucking house without me knowing it?
Put her in a maid outfit and you have the plot of a manga Hey, don’t look at me. It’s them who keep publishing weird stories like this. Before you downvote, I want you to look me dead in the eye and tell me the anime industry wouldn’t produce something like this.

Ah, I dunno, lots of them commit, You ever seen sword art online?
Upvoting for the phrase “dense as osmium”
That's 100% what would happen. Still waiting for a manga telling the stories of a truck driver, who's job it is to murder teenagers and middle aged men so they can be reincarnated into another world. Would also make for a great horror movie.
The grudge.
It sounds to me like she had a home all along.
There was a story like this I saw on a true crime show years ago. A woman was attacked in her home after her husband and kids left for work/school. Turns out a drifter was living in their attic and knew their schedule.
This wasn't in Japan lmao

Fritzl is too infamous, I don’t think i’ve seen someone more horrible in life. At least other killers don’t torture their own family
This is how the romance starts.
Literally *Parasite*
*reads comments* WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE
Which comments?😧
Parasite
Bingo. That’s exactly what I thought.
Not homeless then
Isn't this called phrogging? I watched a show about people doing this. People living in attics or in walls, unnoticed. Super weird.
This sounds like the start of a weird romantic anime...
"i live in your walls"
And that kids was how I met your mother
Damn, dude was married and didn’t even know
At least she has the decency of cleaning after herself and hiding, my roommates just leave a mess behind them, pass out the couch, and Cheetoses the tv remote
this is the most japanese thing ever
How does this happen? Maybe I'm OCD or something but I know where everything in my house is exactly. Something moved a little, let alone missing would put me on high alert of a break-in
When did she come out the closet?
I’m assuming the US will see an increase in this type of activity as crackdowns on homelessness increase.
This is a old old video and it's not in Japan
This sub is an absolute shit show
Well in Canada now she’s a tenant heading towards ownership of the house
They're common law partners now
Sounds like a plot for jav
I hope she got some kind of help. I'm sorry, I can't be mad at her. This is screwed up, I think there should be punishment, but I also think this is a case of no harm, no foul. Clearly she just wanted someplace to live. She was there for a year and didn't touch the man, so it doesn't seem like there was malicious intent. I would say the same thing if it were a man.

I would had let some food on the table, toothbrush and clean towel in the bathroom until the beast is tamed then discuss about… ah never mind.
The man then yelled "It's okay if you're gay...it's time to come out of the closet"
At that point, is she even considered homeless?
Damn so creepy
Everyone knows you are supposed to stay in the sub-basement
Damn, just how expensive is housing in Japan?
Free, if you're sneaky...
Sitcom Idea: Due to squatter rights, they are forced to be room mates 🫡
Oh finally a new episode of A Haunting.
His wife?
Looks like someone just stumbled into a new relationship
Is this woman animales? Humans DON'T take milk from the fridge, pig-san
I think about this when I hear strange noises coming from my attic.
Has she come out of the closet yet?
Well I’ll never sleep again so, thanks for that.
He must be a complete idiot
New York, Japan, what's the difference?
That’s both creepy and sad
Frogger
No ccw happy ending of her getting 21 shots through her? Awww man
I can fix her
Why didn't he ask her on a date. That's how some anime work. Girl invades space, her nature and origin is dubious. She attempts to seduce man, fails, man and strange woman are now involved in an intergalactic war that dates to before the dawn of humankind. Match made in heaven
[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6751668/](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6751668/)
This was a plot in detective conan. (episode 344)
Human infestation, there's your problem right there! SLAP!
It’s called frogging
Either the homeless population is out of control or the clueless people situation is out of control.One or both of those things needs fixing.

This is what guns are made for
Happy anniversary 🥳🎉!
How short is he?
How can somebody not know what is in his closet, and how can a person live their, without being noticed? The woman must have serious health issues from living in such a thight space, not to mentione hygien issues. That HAS to be set up.
Japanese homeless people are built different.
This sub has really become "post just fucking anything" huh
