Twitter user @grady_hendrix, tells a terrifying story about a mysterious man literally living inside of their houses's vents. Can you imagine going down to the kitchen for a little midnight snack, seeing the outline of a dude eating at your kitchen counter, losing your sh*t, and having nobody believe you? It sounds just like the start to every bone-chilling horror movie.

    Text - Grady Hendrix @grady_hendrix When I turned 9 I realized I could sneak downstairs after everyone was asleep and eat anything I wanted in the fridge. No one ever noticed!

    Text - Grady Hendrix @grady_hendrix I could make a peanut butter, Cheez Whiz, & mayo sandwich, eat leftover pizza, scrape off the icing from birthday cakes - as long as I was careful I could do anything!

    Text - Grady Hendrix @grady_hendrix Creeping down was the hardest part. I had to navigate the pitch dark house all the way downstairs in total darkness like a tiny ninja.

    Text - Grady Hendrix @grady_hendrix One night in May, '81 we ordered from Fish & Shrimp House. I waited until everyone was asleep & crept downstairs to eat the leftover sweet n'sour pork.

    Text - Grady Hendrix @grady_hendrix It took forever. I finally stepped into the totally dark den & let down my guard. All of a sudden I heard a fork click on the counter. I froze. The microwave clock light showed the outline of a man sitting at our kitchen counter.

    Text - Grady Hendrix @grady_hendrix He couldn't see me, but I saw him: a skinny guy, eating our leftovers, and drinking our milk from the carton.

    Text - Grady Hendrix @grady_hendrix I can't explain how terrifying it is for someone to BE IN YOUR HOUSE. I slooooowly backed away, crept upstairs, and woke up my mom & dad.

    Text - Grady Hendrix @grady_hendrix They made way too much noise & took way too long & by the time they got downstairs the kitchen was empty.

    Text - Grady Hendrix @grady_hendrix Everyone said I read too many horror comics so they blew off what I said. But no way was I pouring milk on my cereal.

    Text - Grady Hendrix @grady_hendrix I started tracking the position of everything in the kitchen. One day the paper napkin holder was on the wrong side of the counter. Another day a mug was in the sink that was NOT there the night before.

    Text - Grady Hendrix @grady_hendrix My bedroom door didn't lock so I kept a steak knife under my pillow. I must've stabbed myself in the hand 1000 times checking to make sure it was there.

    Text - Grady Hendrix @grady_hendrix Then in August, I was in my room reading when I looked up. There's an A/C vent over my bed. Behind the vent a pair of eyes were watching me.

    Text - Grady Hendrix @grady_hendrix I freaked & raised hell until my parents searched our attic and the crawl space under our house. Nothing. I wasn't very popular for a few weeks.

    Text - Grady Hendrix @grady_hendrix The last week of August our house started to smell. One night, rice fell out of the vent over my bed. Maggots. The A/C people said something had probably crawled into our vents & died

    Text - Grady Hendrix @grady_hendrix Turns out what had crawled into our vents & died was the guy. We lived in an old house with lots of space between the walls & big ducts. He'd been living in them since May. At least

    Text - Grady Hendrix @grady_hendrix He'd put a foam pad beside my bedroom vent so he'd be comfortable while he watched me. The police said he'd made lots of "drawings" but when I asked they pretended they hadn't said anything

    Text - Grady Hendrix @grady_hendrix No one ever identified him. He was buried as a John Doe. To this day I can't look inside the vents in houses.

    Text - Grady Hendrix @grady_hendrix But sometimes when I'm at someone's house I'll smell a little BO coming from their central air conditioning, and I'll wonder who's living back there in their ducts. Who's living in the dark?
