Her Creepy Neighbors Started Showing An Interest In Her Young Daughter, And It Made Her Uneasy
Four years ago, TikToker Syd (@syd.in.motion) and her family moved into the house they still live in now. Not long after, some new people moved into the house next to theirs. They really liked Syd’s young daughter and thought she was super cute.
At first, Syd thought it was just innocent gushing over an adorable child. But then, they started bringing her daughter gifts and always asked to watch her so Syd could take a break.
Her daughter was only two years old, and they didn’t know these people very well, so Syd was uncomfortable. She immediately got this gut feeling that something was off.
About six months ago, her husband was in the middle of installing some floodlights when they received a letter from their homeowners association.
The letter basically said that their lights were a nuisance to one of their neighbors because they were shining in their yard.
Syd and her husband made sure they kept the lights pointed down so they wouldn’t bother anyone. But then, they started receiving text messages from a neighbor claiming that they could see the lights shining through their son’s window.
They proceeded to send a screenshot from their camera to show that the light was on.
That’s when Syd and her husband realized that the lights weren’t actually the problem. Their neighbor’s camera was pointed right in their backyard, and the floodlights were obstructing their view.
Syd’s husband texted back, saying that the position of their security cameras was the real issue. The neighbor ghosted them after that, and they never heard another peep about the floodlights.

Many TikTok users shared stories about their nightmare neighbors in the comments section. They also praised Syd for her intuition and for keeping her family safe.
“This is so scary. Keep your guard up on your daughter! I had a neighbor who took interest in me when I was young and tried to kidnap me. I only got away because I was athletic,” commented one user.
“I was a victim at 6 years old. My mom would let our front neighbor babysit me for 2 years. It finally stopped when they moved away. So glad you listened to your gut and are protecting your baby,” shared another.
“Back in the late ’80s, when I was 4 or 5 years old, our neighbor always commented on how cute I was to my parents. One day, they asked if they could adopt me. My parents freaked, and they haven’t spoken since,” wrote a third.
