I found my roommate sleeping under my bed – then he confessed why he had been there for months

It’s the weirdest hide and seek game.

A petrified man, 24, shared on Reddit the horrifying story of how he caught his roommate sleeping under his bed.

“My roommate was staring at me, and he screamed when I looked under the bed,” Reddit user @Slumbering3 wrote online. “I really thought I was having a heart attack.”

The unidentified man uploaded a post online about how his roommate of two years Karl had been hiding under his bed for several months before he noticed.

“He admitted that he had been sleeping under my bed several nights a week for ‘three or four months’ and that he was doing it to get closer to me and to ‘psychologically saturate each other,'” the man said.

The pair agreed to be roommates out of “chance” but Karl, 24, seemed to want more from the friendship.

Karl, who the original poster identified as pansexual, frequently asked his room about his interest in experimenting with other men, which the Redditor promptly shut down.

“I said, ‘I didn’t feel comfortable when he asked me such a personal question,'” he said. “Every time I said that, he basically said ‘we’ll see.’ I was like, what?”

Despite the difficult conversations, they continued to coexist without a problem until one scary night at 3 am.

“I had a terrible experience. I heard a noise under my bed. It was movement,” he revealed. “At first I thought I was imagining things. But then I heard it again. I thought, oh my god, is it a mouse or a mouse or some sh—t?”

The Redditor jumped out of bed and turned on his phone’s flashlight to see what was hiding underneath, only to lock eyes with his roommate.

“[I] began to listen; “I’m sorry, sorry, sorry,” my roommate crawled out from under the bed crying, apologizing over and over,” he admitted.

Completely bored and “creepy”, the Reddit user runs out of the apartment wearing pajamas.

“I’ve never felt real horror and fear as a physical sensation before, but I was completely shocked,” he added.

As he processed this strange situation inside a 24-hour Dunkin Donuts, Karl sent text messages apologizing for his behavior.

But no apology could make him feel comfortable being around his former roommate again, he waited for Karl to go to work before heading back to the apartment to gather his things.

With a month left on his lease and no intention of renewing, he stayed at his friend’s house to avoid the dreaded interaction.

What seemed like a “lucid dream” for him only escalated when word of the scenario reached their friends, who saw Carl’s actions as “inappropriate” but believed his former roommate should had accepted his pardon.

However, many people online disagree with giving Carl a “second chance” because he’s “sensitive,” with some even calling him a “predator.”

“Dude is not mentally stable and you need to get out of there,” one person pleaded. “His behavior is criminal prosecution.”

“Get a new roommate. If he’s willing to do that, then what else has he done?” asked another.

“Yes, you embarrassed him. Yes, you rejected his apologies. Why? Because he crossed so many boundaries of common decency, privacy and basic human respect,” commented one netizen. “This is the behavior of a predator.”
