But the real culprit was none other than a snail.
According to German media Bild magazine, a family living in an apartment in Bavaria woke up to the constant doorbell at around 0:30 a.m. on the 20th of last month.
Dominique and Lisa, a couple in their 30s, said in an interview that `Normally there are no visitors after 10 p.m.'``````````````````````````.
However, motion detectors and cameras installed in the house did not show any movement.
The Dominic family became increasingly uneasy when a relative living upstairs called, complaining of the same noise.
Lisa said "The doorbell kept ringing, but there was no one I could see. It was even more terrifying because the house was old, even the creaking sound overlapped."
The police, who were dispatched after receiving the report, searched the yard, stairs, and basement, but no intruder was found.
Eventually, when the family gathered on the porch, her husband Dominique found the culprit.
The culprit was none other than a snail. The snail on the front door of the apartment slipped and stimulated the sensor to keep the doorbell ringing.
The police carefully removed the snails and released them on the nearby lawn.
Comments such as 'the slowest intruder in the world', 'The twist is amazing', 'It must have been scarier than a horror movie' were posted on the local online bulletin board.
