This vine like thing sprouting out of the ceiling in my mother's apartment is really creepy. My brother reports that it came from a 'pod' or 'cocoon' that he'd noticed on the ceiling a few days ago. Today it burst open and this 'thing' came out and attached itself to the wall. It was oozing this black stuff where it came from and and where it attached itself. We've called the city to report it but they haven't come to see it yet.

This is in an apartment in New York City, so it is not some plant coming in from through the roof. If anyone has any idea what this is, please email me at spiritofthebear2003@yahoo.com. This is freaking us all out.
