Man Tried To Catch The Food Thief, But The CCTV Footage Shocked Him

Strange Entity

“So I kept discovering stuff missing in my apartment that I knew I wasn’t consuming,” Joe explained in a YouTube video. “I asked my girlfriend… about it, and she said she wasn’t eating it.” Was she lying?

Strange Entity

The Truth

Joe said that despite their disputes, he grew persuaded of her involvement, so he set up a camera to record the fight in order to demonstrate what happened when the food went missing.

The Truth

Hidden CCTV

Joe placed the camera in a kitchen corner with an excellent view of the surroundings, then left it running while he left the room. He supposedly couldn’t believe his eyes when he eventually sat down to watch the film.

Hidden CCTV

A Strange Woman

And, if Joe is to be believed, something bizarre occurs in the video after he left the kitchen. From the corner of the screen, a woman’s form slowly emerges from the storage area above the room.

Crawling Back To The Dresser

The video shows the woman dangling and attempting to stand on a dresser near the kitchen door. Her complete body then emerges, crouching on top of the dresser. Perhaps Joe had been correct all along – his girlfriend had been stealing the food…

Crawling Back To The Dresser

Not His Girlfriend

There is only one issue with his discovery. That lady wasn’t his girlfriend. He had no idea who she was! He has never seen her before, he claims. Yikes! Isn’t that unsettling?

Not His Girlfriend

Kitchen Stranger

The video just gets crazier from there. The strange woman climbs down from her position on a stool. What was her next move going to be? Will she go straight for the fridge?

Disgusting Acts

When the mystery woman reaches the ground floor, she begins performing different ordinary duties. The worst part? She can be seen peeing in Joe’s sink.

Disgusting Acts

Thief

The woman in the video opens the fridge and helps herself to the contents, swigging directly from the cartons. Joe now knew why his groceries were going missing.

Her Bounty

The strange woman opens the cupboard and searches inside. And, despite the fact that she opens the door with a loud crack, she remains unaffected, ultimately departing with handfuls of looted food.

Her Bounty

She Panics

Suddenly, the woman appeared to panic. She seems to be hearing noises from the rest of the house. And she can be seen rushing off to a hiding area minutes before Joe enters the kitchen.

She Panics

Joe Gets Back

Joe, who looks unconcerned about the situation, pours himself a drink before going to bed. When he is out of the way, the lady returns to her foraging operations. She eventually returns to the stool and departs the place via the crawl space above.

Joe Gets Back

Shocked and Disturbed

Joe was shocked and terrified to discover that a sinister and mysterious nightly visitor had started eating his food. And he said that as soon as he realized what was going on, he fled his flat and phoned the cops.

Shocked And Disturbed

For How Long?

When the cops arrived, they discovered that his overnight visitor had created a home for himself in the storage space above his kitchen. According to Joe, police believe the lady entered the house to steal it before fleeing, and she might have been there for up to two weeks.

For How Long?

Unbelievable

His attempts to turn the film into a self-promotional exercise have earned him a lot of criticism in the YouTube comments section. Several internet critics, in particular, have called his account of events into question. At least, that’s how Joe put it…

Unbelievable

For Clickbait

Joe, you see, promised to expose the video only if more people subscribed to his YouTube account. And his suggestion that people who have questions follow him on Facebook to learn more has led others to suspect the video is a scam.

For Clickbait

Unrealistic

Others said that the scenario was unrealistic, and that no one would put a hidden video camera in their kitchen to record their girlfriend eating. Another Redditor claimed to have spotted the woman in the corner moving about as the camera was being installed.

Unrealistic

Still Creepy

Joe, for his part, maintained that the video was real and that he had recorded a strange intruder lurking in his home. While the true nature of the incident remains unknown, one thing is certain: this footage still manages to send chills down the spine. It’s almost as honest as Melanie Darnell’s video…

Still Creepy

Tired Momma

Melanie was a tired but interested mother. How many hours of sleep did she get each night? To find out, she set up a camera to watch herself sleep. When she eventually saw the film, the penny dropped and she was rendered speechless.

Tired Momma

She Doesn’t Need This

Melanie’s tiredness is something we can all relate to, right? Sleep may be a true luxury at times in our lives. It also smells! You’ll go nuts only from the mental fog. Melanie didn’t need to be fatigued either.

She Doesn’t Need This

A Big Family

Melanie and her husband have three small children. And, as any parent will tell you, caring for children necessitates your best efforts. It’s not enjoyable to feel like a sleep-deprived zombie while your child causes mayhem! We can understand Melanie’s curiosity about why she was so tired.

A Big Family

The Footage

So, what did the footage ultimately reveal? Melanie’s sleep was disturbed in the middle of the night for what reason? Following her viewing of the video, the mother resorted to social media to share her findings. And she has a large internet following, which is probably why her video went viral.

The Footage

Social Media Influencer

Melanie isn’t as well-known on social media as Kim Kardashian, but she’s doing just well. She had over 91,000 Instagram followers and over 40,000 Facebook fans at the time of writing. In addition, the mother of three has over 17,000 YouTube subscribers. Excellent figures! But there are many other exhausted mothers, so what sets Melanie apart?

Social Media Influencer

Work Out Time

Melanie appears to value exercise in her daily life. Yoga and gymnastics are two of her favorite activities. Her hubby is likewise quite active. He works as a professional stuntman, of all things! Working up a sweat, however, did not explain why Melanie was always fatigued. It’s also not the explanation for her different social media output.

Work Out Time

A family affair

There are already a lot of fitness aficionados online, so Melanie should add something unique to the table. And you’d be right. On the About page of her Facebook profile, the parent mentions that her exercise routine isn’t only for her. It’s frequently a true family affair.

A Family Affair

Upping the ante

“Physical fitness has always been a high priority in my life,” Melanie explained. “And when I found out I was expecting my first child, I made it my mission to learn everything I could about prenatal fitness, live what I preach, and share my experience along the way.”

Upping The Ante

Swapping dumbells for a baby

Melanie, on the other hand, made everything public on Instagram. “I now had a new balance to achieve post-pregnancy, which was continuing my fitness routine while juggling a baby,” she noted. “My solution was home workouts with my child!” That is still my answer three kids later, and I love sharing no-equipment home exercises on my blog! “They’re also enjoyable to see.

Swapping Dumbells For A Baby

Five Years

Melanie celebrated her daughter’s fifth birthday by posting a video montage of the two working out together for over five years. But don’t be alarmed! Her young child stretches and exercises lightly, not lifting weights. And the mom’s Instagram followers weren’t astonished because she’d published something much more remarkable a few months prior.

Five Years

Doing it together

Doing It Together

Setting an example

“Encourage [your children] if they desire to participate in more healthy practices!” Melanie wrote. One of the reasons I like to workout while they are at home is that it allows me to focus on other things. They can see that my health is vital to me and that moving my body makes me happy. “I feel myself fortunate to be able to set an example for them,” he says. Working out also helps Melanie shed the grogginess brought on by a lack of sleep.

Setting An Example

More health habits

Melanie instills other healthy habits in her children than exercising. The mother and her husband are also vegans. They are also educating their children on the benefits of a plant-based diet. Melanie, on the other hand, seemed unaffected about it, despite receiving criticism from time to time.

More Health Habits

Living proof

Melanie defended herself on Facebook, saying, “I gained consent from my obstetrician and have won over our doctors by example.” “It’s tough to argue against healthy, developing, non-nutritionally deficient children fed on a vegan diet,” she said. Is Melanie getting enough nutrients to assist her body combat fatigue?

Living Proof

Healthy Alternatives

Yes, it appears to be so. Melanie shared a short video of herself making a morning smoothie on Instagram in September 2020. A single banana, Medjool dates, hemp seeds, an antioxidant berry combination, cranberry water, and flax oil are among the ingredients. And it looked delicious! At the very least, the kids seemed to like it.

Healthy Alternatives

An entrepreneur

Melanie’s life choices have done more than just make her a social media sensation. She has her own Fitmomma website, replete with a blog and a store. To name a few of her products, the mother sells food, Vitamix blenders, and ebooks. If you’re interested, her 5-Day Vegan Kickstarter guide will set you back around $20. And, no, it wasn’t her diet that was tiring her out…

Still no sleep

Yes, even though the mother ate well and exercised frequently, she had a problem. She was unable to obtain a decent night’s sleep! Melanie created an ingenious plan to keep track of her movements when the lights went out.

Still No Sleep

Setting up the camera

“My husband is on business, my ten-month-old is still not sleeping through the night, and my two-year-old has an ear infection,” Melanie explained on YouTube. I duct-taped our Nest Cam to the ceiling because I was curious about how much sleep I was getting. What you’re about to witness is true footage of my night.”

Setting Up The Camera

So far, so good

The video starts at 10 p.m. Melanie is relaxing into her bed when her sleep is rudely interrupted approximately an hour later. As a result, she exits the room and returns at 11:20 p.m. Her baby was with her.

So Far, So Good

Wriggly baby

Melanie then returns to sleep, placing the infant on the mattress next to her. At the very least, she tries! Most of the time, the newborn does not sit still. He even creeps about at one point. This movement, unsurprisingly, awakens his mother.

Wriggly Baby

A brief good patch

Melanie kisses her distressed baby before wrapping her arms around him. Sure, the kid is still squirming, but it doesn’t appear to bother his mother all that much. The parent then attempts to obtain a fair amount of uninterrupted sleep.

A Brief Good Patch

Three in a bed

Melanie is ultimately awakened by her daughter wailing in the next room. This happens at 1:00 a.m. This leaves the mother scratching her eyes exasperatedly. You can’t help but feel sorry for her! Melanie’s child eventually enters the bedroom and joins her family.

Three In A Bed

Pile on!

Melanie now has two additional bodies on top of her, which does not seem good. During the next half hour, she appears to get a bit more sleep. Around 1:30 a.m., she leaves the room with her child, only to return a short time later by herself.

Pile On!

Wake up, momma!

Melanie falls asleep again, but her baby is not so fortunate. Throughout the night, he tugs at his mother’s hair, and she stirs slightly in response. The time is finally changed to 6:20 a.m. We’re tired of seeing it.

Wake Up, Momma!

Morning!

Melanie was still in bed at the time. What about her son, though? He kisses his mother’s face and crawls over her body, ready to rise. Even the baby is beaming at the camera. Hello and welcome! Melanie eventually opens her eyes, ready to face the day despite her drowsiness.

Morning!

Very relatable

Melanie, the inquisitive one, could now understand why she was so exhausted! She posted the video, titled “Why Parents Wake Up Exhausted,” on YouTube in April 2018. There must be a lot of other exhausted parents out there, because the video has over nine million views at the time of writing.

Very Relatable

What Melanie had to say

“Parenting doesn’t end when the sun goes down,” Melanie said on Instagram after posting the video. I want to parent at night the same way I do during the day. You have two night-time parenting objectives: get adequate rest for yourself and meet your child’s nutritional and emotional needs. It’s a tricky balancing act.”

What Melanie Had To Say

Moms unite

Melanie then turned her focus to her fellow mothers, who were going through similar experiences. And she made it clear that they were all in this together — and that their tiredness should not discourage them. Don’t you think she’s great? Kind words like that may help parents feel as if they are not alone in their struggles.

Moms Unite

Words of wisdom

“To all the tired mothers out there, take a deep breath in and a deep breath out,” Melanie said. These are intense but transient days. You and your child will soon be sleeping better. For the time being, embrace your babies, milk them, and enjoy them – no matter what time it is.”

Words Of Wisdom

Getting emotional

“Someday, the baby you’re rocking now may be gazing at the stars with her darling newborn,” Melanie said. “She’ll be thinking about you and appreciating you.” What a wonderful idea! It clearly struck a chord with Melanie’s audience.

Getting Emotional

Hitting home

Melanie’s Instagram post, you see, received almost 4,000 comments. Many of them could relate to the exhausted mother and shared anecdotes of sleepless nights with their children. One mother looked to be going through a particularly difficult moment, yet she retained a sense of humour.

Hitting Home

Wreaking havoc

“I watched this video on [social media], and this might have been my house last night!” said an Instagram user. Except that I awoke to the sound of my ten-month-old giggling and rocking the headboard! We, moms, are wonderful, yet others wonder why we are always tired! ”

Wreaking Havoc

Natural adjustments

That got us thinking: does a mother’s sleep pattern naturally change after giving birth? So, kind of. They must more than anything conform to the baby’s cycle. That is not an easy task. Infants seldom sleep more than four hours each night, which is bad news for tired new parents.

Natural Adjustments

More sleep, please

A three-month-old will spend 50 to 80 percent of the night in REM, changing between sleep phases more often. As many parents will confirm, this means they are more sensitive to the least sound or touch. Naturally, this may have a significant impact on mom and dad.

More Sleep, Please

The impact on health

As we can see from Melanie’s video, it’s tough to get a good night’s sleep when you have a kid. And the less sleep you get, the more fatigued you are in the morning. Sure, you’ll make it through the first few months, but don’t underestimate the toll sleep deprivation may have on your physical and emotional health.
