A Washington Place woman reported a Peeping Tom peering into her window Monday night as she watched TV with her daughter.
The woman, who wished to remain anonymous, called Northport Police after she saw the man staring at her through her living room window. Police responded with a canine unit, but lost the man's scent up the Scudder Avenue toward Seaview.
"I got the sense that something was wrong, like someone was watching me. I turned around and saw this man's face in the living room window looking in," she said. "I turned to my daughter and told her to call 911. He didn't run, didn't look scared, he had no reaction whatsoever."
It wasn't the first time she had seen the man. In January, she saw him by her garage while she was letting the dog out.
"I screamed for him to get away and I locked the door and called the police," she said. "He wasn't afraid. He didn't run and he didn't turn around. He just moved kind of odd, very slowly."
The man has never said anything to her, but she is disturbed by his apparent lack of fear in being confronted.
"I can't sleep, I think this guy's going to show up again," she said. "It's a horrible thing to feel unsafe in your home."
Another woman, who also wished to remain anonymous, said her neighbor on Scudder Avenue described a similar man laying on a mat and looking into her basement window sometime between late November and early December.
The man is described as between 5' 7" and 5'10," fair-skinned, in his late twenties or early thirties, wearing a dark hoodie, and having a distinct walk.
