This
may sound like a horror movie or a nightmare or an urban legend, but it
happened last week in Ohio. A group of Ohio State University students
rented a house near campus. To be specific, five students rented the
first floor, and ten other students rented the second and third floors.
That's fifteen people in a house. Or make that sixteen -with so many
people in one house, it's easy to overlook someone. It turned out there
was another guy living in the basement, who none of the other residents
knew.
The roommates thought a locked door in the
basement led to a utility closet. When maintenance workers knocked the
door down, they found a bedroom complete with framed photographs and
textbooks, said Jimmy Alderman, a fourth-year in civil engineering.
The
residents had the locks changed that night and posted a note asking
their houseguest to call them, said resident Brett Mugglin, a
fourth-year in computer science and engineering. A man named Jeremy
contacted them and then moved his belongings out of the room.
“He was a nice enough guy,” Mugglin said. “He just wasn’t supposed to be there.”
Jeremy's
cousin had lived in the house the year before, and since the locks
weren't changed, he was able to use the old key. One of the residents
had actually met the guy earlier, but assumed he belonged to the other
unit.
