One of the homes had a Vint smart doorbell, which captured a skinny male suspect wearing a mask and wielding both knives before being startled by the doorbell’s chime and taking off.

“Many homes received an uninvited visitor that was masked and brandishing two very large knives,” Carolina Forest community Facebook group warned in a post.

The post also included the now-viral video of the creepy encounter.
