A Carrollton, Texas, homeowner was left shaken Saturday evening when a masked stranger with apocalyptic sign showed up at her door. The figure wore a red, Baphomet-like mask and carried a sign citing Revelation 20:1-15, a passage describing the devil’s binding, Christ’s millennial reign, and judgment day, according to CBS News.
The homeowner, who requested anonymity, received a security alert via her doorbell camera around 8:00 p.m. while waiting in her car for her husband. The video showed the masked figure approaching her door and pretending to knock. “I freaked out… I couldn’t even think of anything,” she told reporters, adding that she now feels unsafe both inside and outside her home.
The unsettling incident prompted the homeowner to contact the Carrollton police. Authorities filed a report but determined no crime had been committed. Police have since increased patrols in the neighborhood and encouraged residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity.
Social media reactions to the incident varied widely. While some dismissed the act as a “dumb prank,” others pointed out the potential dangers of such behavior in a state where homeowners are often armed. “Better hope he is bulletproof,” commented one user. Others speculated on the masked individual’s intentions, questioning whether the act was meant as a prank, prophecy, or something more sinister.
Neighbor Gloria Johns expressed her concern, stating, “I’m not aware of anything like this ever happening, and I hope they catch him.” The homeowner echoed the sentiment, saying the incident has deeply affected her sense of security.
While the individual’s identity and intentions remain unknown, the community is on high alert as authorities continue to monitor the area.
