A teenage fan of the CW series Supernatural had been unknowingly giving her neighbors quite a scare thanks to the life-size cardboard cutout of Jensen Ackles she has propped up against her bedroom window.
Kellie Burkhart, a high school student from Tennessee, took to Twitter earlier this month to reveal that her neighbor actually sent a Facebook message to her father complaining about the appearance of the cutout.
‘I’m tired of being scared of whatever is in your kid’s creepy window,’ the man wrote while sharing a haunting photo of what the cardboard cutout looks like from his home.

Unsurprisingly, there were plenty of Twitter users who were incredibly amused by Kellie’s situation, and her post has been retweeted over 32,000 times.
