One woman was left well and truly terrified after discovering a man who had been living under her floorboards for months.

Ashly Guardino, who lives in California, made the harrowing revelation after hearing some bizarre noises coming from her home.

After investigating where the odd noise was coming from, Ashly was horrified to find that it was not in fact a bird or a family of rodents cozying up beneath her floorboards - but a full-grown man instead. Check it. out:

Ashly decided to chronicle the spine-chilling saga on TikTok in a video which has since gone viral after clocking up more than six million views.

In the video, the woman can be seen stood outside her residence as she recalls the situation.

"I'm standing at the front door and I'm, like, peeking out and I see the grass moving," Ashly began. "A f***ing arm comes out of the hole and is feeling around."

She continued: "There is a whole a** man living here for months. Living underneath the house. You know how creepy it is to see a f***ing arm come out of this, feeling around the side of the house?"

Pretty creepy I'd say.

She then showed the exact spot located near her front door before walking up to the side of her house to show viewers just how the culprit managed to make his way into the crawl space in the first place.

"Imagine being half awake and seeing an arm, a dirty arm come out of this hole," Ashly added while returning to the front of the house.

The video then cuts to a police officer inspecting the house and later shows two officers with their guns drawn as they demanded the person to vacate the property.

The man eventually climbs out from under the crawl space and is placed under arrest with Ashly claiming that he was 'high as s**t'.

The saga ends with the two officers escorting him into a police van.

Unsurprisingly, people couldn't wait to share their reactions to Ashly's nightmarish discovery with one TikTok user revealing: " I literally would never sleep again."

Me neither.

A second penned: "Ma'am, you’re gonna have to sell that house if you’re ever wanna sleep again…"

"Never been more grateful to live on a slab with no crawl space in my life," added a third.

"The anxiety this would cause me for the rest of my life," sympathized a fourth. "I am so sorry."

A final TikTok user echoed: "I pray that you can find peace in your home going forward."
