Room with a View

From the WTF Department comes this gem. As Yahoo! News explains:

A Rock Hill, N.C., woman knew something was in her attic when she heard a thump and then saw some nails start popping out from her bedroom ceiling one night.

Tracy, a mother of five, thought it might be an animal. She sent her older sons and nephew to check it out, she told WCNC-TV in Charlotte.

She told the Charlotte Observer she thought "there was some poltergeist stuff going on."

And what they found was surprising. It wasn't an animal. It was the woman's ex-boyfriend.

He came down from the attic without any explanation and left with a smile before police could arrive, the Observer reports.

The man had been living in the attic for about two weeks, WCNC reports, noting that the ex-boyfriend was recently released from jail.

While living in an attic may not sound ideal, it apparently did have one perk:

Tracy's nephew told the Observer the man was able to peek through an air vent in the ceiling of the woman's bedroom.

"It's got me flabbergasted," she told the newspaper. "How can you look at someone through an air vent?"

As you know with real estate, it's all about location, location, location.
