Kansas babysitter checking for monsters finds man hiding under bed

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/27/babysitter-man-under-child-bed-kansas

A babysitter in Kansas who was asked by a child to check for monsters under their bed was stunned to discover a man hiding there, police have said.

The shocking incident occurred on 24 March at a property just outside the city of Great Bend, when the sitter was seeking to put the children she was looking after to bed. However, one of them was afraid.

“One child complained there was a ‘monster’ under their bed. When the victim attempted to show the child there was nothing under the bed, she came face-to-face with a male suspect who was hiding there,” police said in a statement.

“An altercation ensued with the babysitter and one child was knocked over in the struggle. The suspect then fled the scene before deputies arrived.”

Apparently the guy had previously lived there… he was found and arrested the next day.
Little kid: “ I TOLD YOU there was a monster there!”
