In the small town of Hailsham, East Sussex, the residents have become a bit unsettled by a series of unusual incidents. The local police have been on the lookout for someone they've dubbed "Spider-Man" who has been leaving parcels outside of one resident's home on Western Road for almost a year now. It's definitely not your typical neighborhood drama.
The homeowner's doorbell camera captured a person in a Spider-Man mask and zip-up jacket approaching their door on August 26. However, it seems like this mysterious delivery person doesn't always dress up as a superhero. In the most recent incident on December 29, they were seen wearing a cap and plain mask with headphones around their neck. The footage shows them giving a friendly thumbs up before leaving the parcel at the door. The contents of these parcels have not been disclosed, but the resident was concerned enough to report the incidents to the police.
These strange deliveries have been happening since February 13, and the suspect even seemed to acknowledge the camera in the latest incident. The police are unsure if it's been the same person each time, as they've had multiple cases of similar circumstances. They're appealing to the public for any CCTV footage, photos, or witnesses that could help with their ongoing investigation. A police spokesperson stated, "We are asking anyone with information to report it to the police."
These incidents may sound bizarre, but they're not the only ones that have caused fear in small towns and villages. In 2019, there was a "gimp man" sighting in Somerset who wore a black latex bodysuit with red eyes and a stitched mouth. Witnesses described him as jumping out of the dark and crawling and wriggling on the ground. One resident even mistook him for a badger at first. The sightings continued for years until a gardener named Joshua Hunt was arrested in 2023 and banned from public appearances in a full black bodysuit or mask for five years.
Since then, there have been other reports of masked individuals, causing concern for the safety of the community. But not all of these cases have turned out to be dangerous. In one instance, the person was simply wearing a dark hoody, cargo pants, and had a fabric covering their face. The police, of course, did not need to investigate. It's clear that these incidents have caused some unease in the town, but hopefully, with the help of the public, the police will be able to get to the bottom of it.
