Pennsylvania 'Box Demon' Identified by Police After Viral Doorbell Footage

Authorities confirm there is no public safety threat, but community members remain unsettled by the bizarre late-night incident.

A person dressed in a colorful costume and wearing a paper plate mask left an empty box on a North York Borough porch around 4:30 a.m. Tuesday, calling themselves the 'Box Demon.'
The incident was captured on a Ring doorbell camera, with the individual speaking directly into the device and playing a lullaby in the background.
Police quickly identified and spoke with the individual, assuring the public that there are no safety concerns, though the person's identity and motives remain undisclosed.
The homeowner, Tammy McAnnaney, expressed frustration and concern about the early-morning encounter, calling it dangerous and inappropriate.
Online speculation linked the 'Box Demon' to a character from the Roblox game 'Dandy's World,' which features a similar mask design and accompanying music.
