A naked man was mistaken for an animal under a woman's house, causing her to hear strange noises.

In a quiet California neighborhood, a 93-year-old woman living alone was startled by strange noises coming from beneath her home. At first, she brushed it off as just some animals, but as the noises persisted for months, she became increasingly concerned. One night, while her family was visiting, they all heard loud banging coming from under the house. It sounded like something was knocking back at them. Her son-in-law, Ricardo Silva, described it as "kind of like, as my wife was walking, they were kind of knocking back from under the house so she says, 'You know something's wrong.'"

Alarmed and unsure of what to do, the family called the Los Angeles Police Department for help. When officers arrived, they discovered a "barricaded suspect" hiding under the woman's home. He refused to come out, despite attempts by the officers to coax him out. "He wasn't scared of the dogs, and the first two attempts at gas didn't fish him out," Silva explained.

It wasn't until the next day, after being subjected to tear gas, that the suspect finally surrendered and was arrested for trespassing. The woman's family was shocked to find out that the man, identified as Issac Betancourt, had been living under their home for possibly as long as six months. "Food and blankets were removed from beneath the house," said the woman's grandson. Investigators believe that Betancourt had been spending the nights under the house and leaving in the mornings.

The family has since secured the crawl space to prevent any future unwanted visitors from sheltering under their home. They are grateful for the quick response of the police and are taking precautions to ensure their safety. In a similar incident, a woman in Connecticut found a bear hibernating under her deck after her dogs started acting strangely. The family is relieved that no harm came to their elderly grandmother and are now extra vigilant about any strange noises coming from their home.
