A terrifying and strange incident occurred at Lennox AMC 24 on Sunday should have moviegoers double-checking the floors.

In what is nearly a horror-movie scenario, the three women were there watching a matinee in a nearly empty theater when they felt something move underneath their row of seats.

A man.

A man who’d had been there for at least 90 minutes. When they screamed, he claimed he was looking for a missing cell, and vanished.

This is not the first incident, shockingly. AMC Lennox called the police but did not file an official report.

As far as the women know, the motive for man underneath the seats is unclear.

“We were very creeped out. You kind of feel vulnerable or violated. Either he was stealing or waiting for someone to put their purse on the ground and he could take their credit cards or their wallets.” said Berkes to FOX28.

Berkes offered some advice to other women at the theater, to keep their purses on their laps and to always check under the seats.

I'm wondering how this guy got under the seats in the first place? Standard theatre seats have side pieces that go right to the floor. There's no place under the seat to be; anyone under the seat would be laying in/stretched across the aisle of the next row back, clearly visible and likely to get stepped on or tripped over.

I was wondering the same thing.

There is no way to get "under" the seats in a stadium style theater and the stanchions would prevent a person from crawling directly under the seats in a standard theater. The only way I can think of would be to crawl on hands and knees in the row directly behind in a standard theater.

If there was anybody else in the theater except the victims and the perpetrator, it's probably a sure thing that a person would get noticed. The perpetrator would have to be very sneaky, indeed, to avoid detection.

Bottom line is that I don't think we're getting the whole story. Something else must have been happening that didn't get reported. But, then, again... that's what most mainstream news agencies are all about... NOT telling the whole story, only covering the most dramatic and superficial parts of the story.

Anything to make a buck while doing the least amount of work possible.

At a midnight show once, we had a guy fold up four armrests and stretch out across five seats and conk out for a snooze. Lucky I did a walkaround after the movie or I'd have never seen
