North Carolina woman says someone has been living in her home's crawlspace

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WCNC) – Landscapers make a startling discovery inside a North Carolina woman’s crawlspace. It happened Monday morning in the Charlotte area.

The homeowner said her landscapers discovered several items in the crawl space including candles, coke bottles, and toilet paper.

She believes someone broke in through the side door into the crawl space, but she’s not sure how long they were down there.

The homeowner, who did not want to go on camera, said there’s never been a break-in during her twenty years living at the home.

Now, she’s added a padlock and is urging her neighbors to do the same.

“Maybe a homeless person, but they must have been familiar with the neighborhood,” the homeowner said. “Nobody knows where this is, they always make a comment I had no idea this neighborhood was back here.”

No arrests have been made so far.
