“I have a handprint on my bathroom wall and on my mirror,” Maggie said.

The student said she and her roommate joked about the apartment being haunted by a “ghost.” But it wasn’t, as she found out on Saturday.

“I just hear rattling in my closet. It sounded like a raccoon in my closet,” the student told the news station. “I’m like, ‘Who’s there?’ And somebody answers me. He’s like, ‘Oh my name is Drew.’

“I open the door and he’s in there, wearing all of my clothes. My socks. My shoes. And he has a book bag full of my clothes,” Maggie explained.

Police told the Greensboro News & Record that the student made the discovery when she came home on a lunch break from school.

Glenn said the student called her boyfriend to the apartment and asked the man to leave, adding the man was non-confrontational.

“He tries on my hat. He goes in the bathroom and looks in the mirror and then is like ‘You’re really pretty, can I give you a hug?’” Maggie told Fox8 News.
