WATCH: Man discovers creepy woman living in his cupboard

Growing up you might have been scared of the "monsters" living under your bed or in your closet, but for one man the nightmare turned into a reality!

Although originally posted in 2008, a creepy clip has resurfaced after it was retweeted by horror Twitter account Paranoia. Watch the clip above.

While Paranoia's Twitter feed is usually full of terrifying fiction or ghostly speculation, in this case the terror is all too real, with news stories confirming a homeless woman in Japan managed to sneak into a man’s house and lived undetected in his closet for a year.

In the clip, the woman is seen sneaking down from her seemingly cramped living quarters and going through the fridge to find food and use the sink as a bathroom!

The only reason she was caught out was reportedly because the man noticed items were going missing, so he set up cameras to try and solve the mystery.

At the time, NBC News reported the 58-year-old woman confessed to sneaking into the house after the man had left it unlocked. She was later charged with trespassing and arrested.

Described as "neat and clean", police found she had moved a mattress into the tiny space and was even taking showers!
