Northern York County Regional Police solved the mystery of the strange masked person who dropped off an empty box on a North York Borough porch. The event, which happened at 4:20 a.m. on March 12, grabbed people's attention after doorbell camera footage showed what locals dubbed the "Box Demon."

The strange visitor, who called itself the Box Demon, wearing a mask made from paper plates, left a large cardboard box with a mysterious note. Though police have figured out who did it, they aren't sharing the person's identity or what the note said.

Police worked quickly to ease public worries. The homeowner who got the unexpected delivery hasn't said anything about the early morning incident.

After the strange video hit social media, it quickly spread across the country. The footage showed a creepy figure, face hidden by a handmade mask, walking up to drop off the package.

"I leave this gift, this box, as a gift for you."

The case began when the worried homeowner called the police about the weird delivery. Police asked neighbors for help to find the masked person.

The scary incident rattled the normally peaceful Pennsylvania town of North York Borough. Just a day after the video went viral, police cracked the case.

People online shared all sorts of ideas about why someone would do this, but the police investigation put an end to the guessing. After talking to everyone involved, police wrapped up the odd case.
