CLACKAMAS COUNTY, Ore. (WJW) -- Every home has its creaks and groans -- sounds that don't always make sense. But one Oregon homeowner got a big surprise when it was discovered those "strange noises" were coming from a man who had taken up residence in their crawl space.

The Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office was called to a condominium complex outside of Happy Valley Wednesday around 11 p.m. for reports of a mysterious man seen parking on the premises.

The man had been seen going to the back of the building and a light was on coming from a crawlspace, deputies said in a press release.

Upon arrival, deputies said "they noticed the door to the crawl space was damaged and now locked. An extension cord was seen running through a vent."
