Current Events > Man arrested for living in woman's home unnoticed for 6 months (half a year)

(+) Yeah! (+)

Last week in the city of Himeji in Hyogo Prefecture, a man paid a visit to his 90-year-old mothers house and cooked her a meal. However, during his time there, his ears picked up a strange sound coming from the second floor that his mothers had been unable to detect.

Walking up the steps and opening a door, he found a 20-year-old man, whom he had never seen before, sleeping on a futon. Holding back his shock, he quietly went back downstairs and called the emergency number 110.

Police quickly arrived at the home and woke up the young man before arresting him and taking him back to the station. The suspect has been uncooperative during interrogation, not even revealing his name to the authorities.

However, according to police, he is believed to have first entered the womans home on Dec 12 at about 7:20 in the morning. He even left his shoes at the front entrance upon entering. The mother told police that she almost never went up to the second floor and doesnt know the suspect at all.

Readers of the new were understandably creeped way out by the incident.

Every night she went to sleep with someone else and she didnt even know it. Gyagh!
Im pretty worried about the woman if she didnt notice this guy.
Maybe he thinks if he never speaks, theyll keep him in prison forever.
At least they caught him before something bad happened. In a situation like that it seems almost certain something bad would have happened.
He probably went down and stole her food while she slept, just like a cockroach.
Thats both ridiculous and bone-chilling at the same time.

The mans motives are somewhat mysterious. Japan is known to not have a stellar track-record with homelessness compared to other developed countries, but the private sectors has surprisingly pitched in, in the form of internet cafes which often act as de facto homeless shelters, especially for young people.

Without knowing what his intentions are, the charges remain at trespassing for the time being.

This reminds me of all those RPGs were you just walk into someone's house, go through their shit and sleep in their beds and they don't react.

There's one moment of FFVII that always sticks out to me where you go into some old guy's house and can steal something, and if you do he's like "WTF? did you just take my thing?" and I swear no other Final Fantasy NPC has ever done that.

Hell in FFIX one of the very first things you can do in the game is steal an old woman's entire (tiny) life savings right in front of her for no reason.

Thanks, I didn't know how many months half a year was.

In FF4 if you walk all the way up the tower of Fabul you'll get to the king's bedroom and if you walk into the bed Cecil will say "let's sleep in the king's bed!" and go to sleep and it's a free Inn.

Yeah lots of RPGs let you do that.

FFX is the weirdest one tho, they have "Inns" you can pay for to get fully healed.... Despite the fact merely touching a save point replenishes your health for free.

And those things are everywhere including inside every Inn

What where they thinking?

I guessed Japan, not because of the title, but because who posted it.

How many half days is 6 minutes though?

I mean what if he didn't want to harm here he just had nowhere to go... kind of like a harmless parasite

I read an Internet horror story like this about how an escaped mental hospital patient who murdered her children snuck into the house of a young boy and lived in his attic for months, watching him as he slept.
