Squatter Lived Under 73-Year-Old Woman’s Home



Velma Kellen thought her furnace was broken, and got the shock of her life when a repairman told her a squatter had been living under her house and stealing her heat.

“I said, ‘You’ve got to be kidding me!’” Kellen, 73, told ABCNews.com.

For months, there were mysterious signs — an unlatched gate and the inexplicable odor of smoke inside Kellen’s three-bedroom home in Yelm, Wash., about an hour’s drive south of Seattle.

“It was worse than cigarettes,” Kellen said.

Kellen, a retired caregiver, said her home was cold before Christmas, so she bought a new furnace, but still had the problem.
“I thought, ‘This wasn’t right,’” Kellen said.  ”It was rather cold in the front part of the house, so I called the furnace company and the repairman came to the house. ”

Creepy.

I know. It's like people have no boundaries anymore.
