A California woman has shared the terrifying moment when she discovers a stranger has been secretly living under her home for “months.”
Ashley Guardino filmed when the police came to investigate under her home after being awakened early in the morning by noises around her childhood home.
In the TikTok video, which has been viewed more than six million times since the weekend, Guardino said she woke up at 6 a.m. thinking someone was climbing on their roof.
She then said she stuck her head outside the front door and saw an arm reaching out of a hole in the side of her Guardino home in Lake Elsinore, California. She said she immediately called the police and told viewers in horror, “Do you know how creepy it is to see an arm come out of this hole?”
The TikToker then watched as officers came to investigate before arresting a man she said had been living under her floorboards for “months.”

She then turns her camera to show a small hole under her house. “A bloody arm comes out of the hole and feels round.”
She then showed other holes on the side of the house and toward the front door, where the suspect may have entered under the floorboards.
“There’s been a whole a** man living here for months, living under the house,” she said.
“Do you know how creepy it is to see a horrible arm come out of this (hole) feeling on the side of the house?
“Imagine being half awake and seeing an arm, a dirty arm, coming out of this hole.”
Guardino then shows two officers, both appearing to be armed with shotguns, investigating the hole. One crouches down for a better look, while the other stands backward with weapon drawn.
They then ask a man to come out from under the house. After persistent attempts to lure him out of the hole, the man crawls through and is immediately arrested.

A voice in the video looking further says, “He’s high as f**k.”
The video then cuts to show the man being led away in a police car.
“This is so scary, but also so very sad. We really need to do better for the unhoused in our country,” one commenter said in response to the video.
“It’s really sad and tragic how people have to resort to crawling into whatever space they find to take shelter,” said another.
Another comment read, “I am so sorry for the fear this would cause me for the rest of my life.”
“I really feel sorry for him… and you as a homeowner, of course, but this shows the crisis we’re in. Sorry to both of you,” said another.
