Pennsylvania authorities are investigating a bizarre case wherein a mysterious masked stranger calling themselves the 'Box Demon' appeared at the doorstep of someone's house in the middle of the night. The incredibly creepy incident reportedly occurred at around 4 AM on Tuesday in the community of North York. In footage captured by a home security system, an individual wearing a paper plate fashioned into a mask resembling a flower wandered up to the residence with an empty box. The scene took an even stranger turn after the person placed the container on the porch and eerily addressed the camera.
"I am the Box Demon," the masked stranger explained in a spooky voice, "this box is a gift for you." The weirdo subsequently departed the scene, leaving the homeowners scratching their heads and understandably unnerved when they later discovered what had unfolded on their doorstep in the middle of the night. Detailing the curious 'suspicious person' case in a press release, the Northern York County Regional Police Department indicated that the rattled resident had no idea who the Box Demon could have been nor what their creepy costume and moniker meant. While the case was likely the work of some mischievous prankster, cops are taking the matter seriously, asking the public to contact them if they have any information concerning the odd individual.
