“The police have identified and spoken to the ‘Box Demon.’ There are no public safety concerns,” the Northern York County Regional Police stated.
That’s right—know your meme. The Box Demon has officially entered the scene.
“The person, wearing a mask, brought an empty box to the homeowner’s front door. The unknown person rings the doorbell and identifies themselves as the ‘Box Demon.’ The homeowner does not recognize the person. The homeowner does not (know) what the mask or the term “Box Demon” was to represent. The suspicious person left the empty box on the front porch and walked away from the home,” a statement from Northern York County Regional Police said.
We’ve seen Slender Man, Momo, and countless other viral figures, but this might be the first reported case of the Box Demon.
Honestly, it doesn’t seem all that safe for the Box Demon either—showing up at 4:22 a.m., leaving an empty box on someone’s porch, all while being recorded by a Ring cam. But that didn’t seem to stop them.
So, what’s the deal? A new Ring cam trend? A viral stunt in the making? A parent repurposing their kid’s kindergarten art project as a mask?
There’s a lot to unpack here—except, ironically, the box itself, which was completely empty. And that might just be the strangest part of all..
