A late-night security checkup turned into a nightmare for a US woman when she spotted a stranger sitting silently on her porch, an encounter that has since gone viral online. The incident happened in Louisiana, US, where a random stranger first tried to barge into the house belonging to this woman.
The incident occurred around 2:30 a.m. when the woman stepped outside with her young puppy to switch on the porch light. Groggy from sleep, she focused on watching her puppy play and failed to notice the man quietly seated just a few feet away from her. When she finally realized, she bolted back inside, locked the door, and quickly called her family members. Startled by the sudden reaction, the man fled from the spot immediately. His pet dog tried to chase him but was unable.
