Imagine yourself and your loved ones gathered around the dinner table when all of a sudden you notice a notification from Ring. Examining the camera, you discover that it’s a gingerbread man and not a delivery man or a neighbor.
That is exactly what an Arlington family who live on N George Mason Drive on Wednesday went through.
“So, my wife comes up to me and goes, ‘You won’t believe what I just saw. There’s this guy outside, not even bothering to ring the doorbell, just standing there in a gingerbread man costume.’ And I’m thinking, gingerbread man? What on earth?”
The neighbor, who asked to remain anonymous out of fear for their safety, claimed that they were worried about the mystery surrounding the intentions of the “gingerbread man” and the unidentified person.
Observing the camera from the comfort of their home, they had no idea what to do.
“We observed an attempt to push the door.” “I’m looking at this person in a costume,”
The homeowner remarked as they gazed into the camera.
He told WUSA9 that while he wasn’t sure how to react, he thought it was important to report the incident just in case. He made a call to the police non-emergency line.
“I politely informed them that I simply needed to report this matter, emphasizing that it was not an urgent situation.” There was this person who showed up wearing a gingerbread man costume, and the operator seemed to resemble a gingerbread man as well? I absolutely love the idea of a gingerbread man costume! “I have the video,”
he reported to WUSA9.
It happened on a Wednesday night around seven o’clock.
Another resident told WUSA9 that she had seen the gingerbread man in the same area of N George Mason Drive about an hour earlier.

“Out of nowhere, my dogs went into a frenzy, barking incessantly as if their lives depended on it. Curiosity piqued, I rushed to the window to investigate. And there it was, a colossal blow-up gingerbread man costume, standing proudly on the sidewalk,” Lindsey Churchill reported.
She said in an interview with WUSA9 that she was surprised.
“Our gazes met briefly before the gingerbread man continued on his journey.” “That’s so strange,” she added.
Numerous neighbors who provided accounts to WUSA9 claimed to have seen him around at different times during the evening.
The following details, according to Arlington County Police, were given to WUSA9 on Thursday night:
A suspicious circumstance was reported online by a community member. According to the report, on December 13, at around 6:00 p.m., a man dressed as a gingerbread man attempted to enter a house located in the 2600 block of N. George Mason Drive. However, he left after realizing that the door was locked. When the subject was approached outside by a witness, he allegedly said he was trying to find a friend’s house.
