‘Gingerbread Man’ Seen Roaming City Streets, Security Cameras Catch Disturbing Move When He Reaches Home Doors

‘Tis the season to beware. It might be the season for a Darwin Award, as well.

A person dressed in an inflatable gingerbread man suit and a Santa hat was seen wandering around an Arlington, 🏛️Virginia, neighborhood, according to WUSA-TV. Considering the season, that’s not so very odd.

What is strange is that this gingerbread man allegedly walked to the door of a local residence and tried to open it. He was also seen standing outside of another home looking in the window. That’s not only odd, it’s creepy.

A neighbor who didn’t want to be identified at the time — presumably because the gingerbread man was still out roaming the streets — said, “My wife said, ‘hey, listen, there’s this guy, he didn’t ring the doorbell, he’s just standing there and he’s in this gingerbread man costume’ and I’m, like, gingerbread man — what?”

The homeowner said, “We noticed the door was trying to be pushed. We look at the camera — I’m looking at this guy in a costume.”

It was so weird the homeowner didn’t know what to do.  The gingerbread man wasn’t brandishing a weapon or trying to kick down the door. But something was definitely off, so he decided to report the incident and called the non-emergency Police
