Aussie mum makes a terrifying discovery on daughter's bedroom window

Residents of a small Australian community have been stunned after a mum shared a 'terrifying' photo of a handprint left on the window of her daughter's bedroom.

The mum, from Wentworth Falls in NSW's Blue Mountains, shared a photo of the handprint on Facebook on Thursday.

'Unfortunately, we seem to have a night stalker,' she said.

'Last night he/she decided to leave a hand print on my daughter's bedroom window with a sticky substance to leave a lasting impression.

'Anyone else had anything like this happen,' the mum asked.

She revealed that she had reported the incident to police.

Many residents described the incident as terrifying and creepy.

'At least you have their fingerprints. This is very weird and dangerous,' one said.

The incident happened in Wentworth Falls, an hour and a half west of Sydney, earlier this week

A second said: 'I had this happen to me when I was a teenager. The neighbour called the police. It was terrifying - I'd been getting dressed for bed.'

Others advised the mum to install security cameras and lights on her property.

'Get a light sensor next to the window so that it alerts everyone that someone is there. I would be super worried as over time this person could get the courage to do more,' one said.

A second added: 'Have a look into the Eufy 180 cameras. They run off your WiFi and are super easy to install. You can set light and alarms based on triggers.

'So if someone moves in range while you have a home setting on at night, it will light up, and a siren will sound. You can also listen and talk to them through a phone app.'

Another said: 'Time for some big dogs, even if you don't have a dog, put up a sign. It can be a helpful deterrent when a crook chooses which house to visit.'
