A man dressed as a giant gingerbread man has a community in Virginia on edge after he was seen trying to break into a home, according to a report.
An Arlington County resident told WUSA9 he was sitting at dinner with his family Wednesday night when the life-size inflatable cookie appeared on his doorstep, standing silently.
“My wife said, ‘Hey, listen, there’s this guy who didn’t ring the doorbell, he was just standing there and he was wearing a gingerbread man costume,’ and I said, ‘Gingerbread man, what?’” the resident said. .
He preferred to hide his family’s name because the “gingerbread man” is still on the loose and his motives are unclear.
Stunned, he and his wife watched the person through their security camera from inside the house.

“We realized they were trying to push the door. “We look at the camera and I’m looking at this guy in a costume,” the owner told WUSA9.
Not knowing what to do next, he called the police department’s non-emergency line to report the strange encounter.
“I just told them, ‘Listen, I just want to report this, it’s not an emergency. “One guy came in in a gingerbread man costume,’” she said. ” and them [the operator] they were like ‘a gingerbread man?’ I said, “Yeah, a gingerbread man costume.” I have the video,’” he said.
About an hour earlier, another neighborhood resident, Lindsey Churchill, said she saw the gingerbread man lurking outside her house.
“All of a sudden, my dogs were going crazy barking out the window and I looked out, and there was a giant inflated gingerbread man costume on the sidewalk,” he told WUSA9.

“We looked into each other’s eyes and the gingerbread man continued on his way. How strange,” Churchill said.
“It wasn’t very fun,” he added.
Several other neighbors also reported seeing the creep in disguise.
One person described the situation as “like a horror movie.”
“With this costume, this whole ordeal, what was the point? Just to see if we’re home? Or to enter the house? they said.
