A woman in Virginia was terrified to come home and find a stranger lying on her couch and heard him ‘crying.’ 

The Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office reported to Joette Breeden’s home in Warrenton, around 50 miles from Washington DC, around 9.50pm on Thursday. 

She walked into her home to find a stranger lying on her couch, with several wounds and blood all over her home, Fox 5 reported. 

Breeden told the outlet: ‘I never saw him. I just heard a man crying.’

‘When I entered the house, I could hear what sounded to me like a man crying and at first I thought I had left the TV on but then I looked and the TV was off and the lights were still off,’ she said. 

‘…but I could see someone on the sofa, so I just turned around and ran back out of the house.’

The homeowner walked into her home to find a stranger lying on her couch, with several wounds and blood all over her home. Breeden said: ‘I never saw him. I just heard a man crying.’

The man was given medical treatment when emergency services arrived before he was taken to the Winchester Medical Center, according to a press release from the sheriff’s office. His identity has not been released, but he was later reported to have passed away

She told the outlet she had noticed her car port door was open when she arrived home. 

As she entered and realized there was a stranger in her home, she turned out and ran back to her car. 

Jeffrey Long, a spokesman for the sheriff’s office, said that the man had ‘obvious trauma to his body and neck.’

The man was given medical treatment when emergency services arrived before he was taken to the Winchester Medical Center, according to a press release from the sheriff’s office. 

His identity has not been released, but he was later reported to have passed away. 

Currently, it is unclear why the man was inside Breeden’s home.  

The sheriff’s office told The Independant that they would be investigating if the man had been the victim of a crime. 

Breeden’s bizarre story comes as a babysitter similarly encountered a terrifying situation after checking under a child’s bed for monsters and came face to face with a stranger.

27-year-old Martin Villalobos Junior was allegedly found underneath a child’s bed in Kansas after a babysitter checked underneath when a child complained of a ‘monster’

 Deputies from Barton County Sheriff’s Office responded to a disturbance call on Monday after the babysitter discovered the man hiding under the child’s bed around 10.30pm.

The child complained there was a ‘monster’ under their bed, police said in a press release.

When the babysitter checked under the bed, hoping to reassure the child nothing was there, they found a 27-year-old named Martin Villalobos Junior.

‘An altercation ensued with the babysitter and one child was knocked over in the struggle,’ police said.

‘The suspect then fled the scene before deputies arrived.’

Villalobos had once lived at the residence, according to the sheriff’s office, and had a protection from abuse order issued against him to keep away from the property.

The next morning, Villalobos was found and pursued by officers on foot before he was arrested and taken to Barton County Jail.

He was booked on charges of aggravated kidnapping, aggravated burglary, aggravated battery, child endangerment, felony obstruction of a law enforcement officer and violation of a protection from abuse order.

Villalobos is being held on a $500,000 bond.
