A female employee said she was "f*cking terrified out of my mind" after seeing a human hand and eyes peering out from some boxes of a hardware store.

The store had closed security footage showed Sierra Galvez appeared to be alone when she could be seen freeze for a heartbeat before turning and bolting through the deserted warehouse.

Seconds later, a man walks into the frame.

The viral video has been seen more than 10.5 million times since it was shared on TikTok last week. She explained in follow-up videos that she called her manager and dialled 911, but the store creeper has yet to be found.

"I stop because I heard a noise and it sounded like paper or cardboard falling and reminder, I kind of joke around that this place is haunted, so I’m freaking out because we always hear noises back there," Ms Galvez in the video.

"So, I kind of looked around and there were some boxes in the aisle and so I looked over and I saw a stack of signs tipped over and instantly I’m like, there’s something wrong, they’re not supposed to be tipped over," she continued.

Looking at some weird movement under a cart, she originally thought a cat or racoon had gotten into the warehouse. It was about 10 pm, two hours after the store closed at 8 pm.

“I didn’t expect to see a hand,” she said. “I slowly look up and I see this much of a dude staring dead in my eyes, that will forever haunt me, is his stare.

“I start backing away and I instantly page on the radio to my manager, because I’m like, there’s someone in the warehouse, and he’s like, ‘are you serious?’

“’I’m not f-ing around with you dude, there’s someone in this warehouse right now’. And I kind of started backing away, because if this dude has a gun, if this dude has a knife, I am screwed.

“He’s like, ‘is it a customer?’ ‘It’s just a random person!’, and I book it to the front and I can hear the dude shuffling behind me.”

The video shows the man walk out from behind the boxes, grab what is said to be a generator, and leave the warehouse in the opposite direction of Ms Galvez.
