CHICAGO (WLS) -- A home surveillance camera captured an intruder inside a Chicago couple's home watching them as they slept.

Jack Mackercher and his girlfriend, Jordan Buranskas, didn't realize that a man had been lurking around their Bucktown neighborhood home in the middle of the night until they noticed that Buranskas' purse was missing. Monday evening, the couple retraced their steps by scrolling through video recorded by one of Mackercher's surveillance cameras.

They rewinded to 3:30 a.m. Monday. What they saw terrified them.

"I'm like, 'Why are you at the top of the stairs wearing a white hoodie before we went to bed?' She's like, 'I wasn't at the top of the stairs.' So that's when you go flush and start to freak out a little bit," Mackercher said.

An intruder had crept in through an unlocked door. And for several minutes, hovered over the couple, who had fallen asleep on the couch. The suspect moved so slowly and quietly, he didn't disturb the couple's two dogs, sleeping at their feet.

"He stood there for about 5 minutes the first time then walked away, then came back and hovered over us again for another 5 minutes," Buranskas said.

The thief has been nicknamed the "Creeper Ghost," and is believed to be responsible for other neighborhood burglaries.

 

[demosthenes]

Nope nope nope.

 

[takriel]

Straight from a horror movie

 

[Euphor!a]

I think this is less him being a weird creeper and more not knowing WTF he should do having not anticipated this.

 

[HazySaiyan]

Jesus Christ that's fucking terrifying. Lock your doors at night folks!

 

[Reverend Funk]

heck no

 

[dkeane]

There would be a thousand locks on my doors and windows the next day. Jesus.

 

[diaspora]

PT viral marketing?

 

[hawk2025]

Holy fucking shit.


Shivers, everywhere.

 

[whitemex88]

He just really wanted to watch Mr.Robot.

 

[MMarston]

And I just finished Hannibal Season 3 today.

 

[Abounder]

Even got by their dogs. Yikes.

 

[Corpekata]

I think this is less him being a weird creeper and more not knowing WTF he should do having not anticipated this.

Yeah. Seems like he's just a good thief and playing it extra careful / trying to decide what to risk.

 

[TheSpoiler]

He's like "fuck this is awkward, what do I do now?"

 

[Joyful]

well at least he didnt murder them in their sleep
so hes not all bad
I mean he might still be working up to that but ya

[EdibleKnife]

At least he wasn't wearing a mask. And I'm shocked he avoided the dogs

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

Appropriately horrifying.

 

[Lightning_Roller]

Oh fuck that noise, I would lock every door and window if that happened to me. And make sure they stay locked through the night.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Yeah. Seems like he's just a good thief and playing it extra careful / trying to decide what to risk.

But he came back and stood there for another 5 minutes.

 

[Unknown One]

The picture is makes it seem more creepy than it seems.

 

[Fuchsdh]

After that happened I would probably start identifying with those guys who litter their houses with man traps a lot more.

 

[ClosingADoor]

That's some useless dogs.

 

[perfectchaos007]

3:30am?

 

[EdibleKnife]

But he came back and stood there for another 5 minutes.

Mr. Robot was on

 

[Tom Nook]

An intruder had crept in through an unlocked door.

I always check the doors before going to bed.

 

[Dalek]

This is some David Lynch level shit.

 

[Kwixotik]

But he came back and stood there for another 5 minutes.

Decided it was too risky and then decided fuck it

 

[SirRattleBalls]

 

[styl3s]

There would be a thousand locks on my doors and windows the next day. Jesus.

A decent security system should of set off alarms the second they guy tried to get in upstairs so either they don't have a security system (or it's a piece of shit) or forgot to turn it on.

If i reviewed my tapes and found this i go out the next day and get a fucking panic room installed and sleep it.

 

[SlimySnake]

The dogs done fucked up.

 

[sora87]

The fact the dogs didn't even notice is creepy

 

[Smokey_Run]

Nope!

 

[Seesaw15]

It was a good episode of Mr.Robot

 

[Kurdel]

The suspect moved so slowly and quietly, he didn't disturb the couple's two dogs, sleeping at their feet.

Wow, worlds worst dogs are the real headline here.

 

[norinrad]

I should start a security firm.

 

[Calm Mind]

The moment you become too comfortable is the moment you are most at risk.

 

[DeployThatPizza]

That's really creepy.

 

[CrazyDude]

Off Topic but why is rain breaking news in Chicago?

 

[ShockingAlberto]

"He stood there for about 5 minutes the first time then walked away, then came back and hovered over us again for another 5 minutes," Buranskas said.

Okay at first I thought maybe he didn't realize anyone was home and was being very cautious in just getting what he came for and leaving.

But then he came back around.

 

[Corpekata]

But he came back and stood there for another 5 minutes.

But there's also a bunch of other robberies he's committed. I mean I guess he could just be really into watching people sleep for 10 minutes, but it doesn't really fit. Why steal anything at all if the voyeurism is his goal?

That second 5 minutes could have been because he thought he woke someone or one of the dogs and was again trying to figure things out.

 

[N.Domixis]

The fact the dogs didn't even notice is creepy

It can only mean one thing, ghost.

 

[jon bones]

yeah let's go ahead and not get this trending so my wife never sees it

The fact the dogs didn't even notice is creepy

word, that's nuts

if i fart in my sleep it'll wake my dog up

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

This is some David Lynch level shit.

Was about to post the second tape scene

 

[Kayhan]

 

[erlim]

It can only mean one thing, ghost.

No way, the dogs are probably like 14 years old. They're probably deaf or blind or both.

 

[StoOgE]

Them dogs are fucking not good dogs.

Buy a better dog.

 

[TheBaldEmperor]

Who forgets to lock their doors? As soon as I enter my house the door gets locked right behind me always.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Who forgets to lock their doors? As soon as I enter my house the door gets locked right behind me always.

It's reasonable to forget every now and then.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

That's some useless dogs.

Seriously. My dog would bark if someone came within 10 feet of the door. I used to open it before friends knocked because I could tell someone was coming when he perked up and investigated.

Those dogs were slacking.
