Last night my husband, my 18 month old son and me were walking in the
neighborhood. All of a sudden we were aware of a presence and looked
behind us to see a man walking not even 10 feet behind us. After about
10 seconds I whispered to my husband ''Let's cross the street - he's
creeping me out!'' My husband also saw this man this morning walking in
our neighborhood again. We have never seen him before and the way he
walked so close just made us feel weird. I called Lower Allen Twp.
police today, at the prompting of my husband, and reported what
happened and basically said we are concerned. Nothing really happened,
but I don't want to wait until something happens and be sorry. My son
and I walk around the neighborhood every day and I want to feel safe.
Has anyone else noticed this man? He is tall and fairly thin,
caucasian with glasses, brownish hair.

re man walking too close

I think I know who you're talking about. I don't think he's any harm. If he's the person I think you are speaking of, I think he's just on his way to work. He used to walk up my street smoking but I haven't seen him in a while. Maybe he is just taking a different route. He made me uncomfortable at first having young children as well.

If anything comes out of it, hopefully the police will patrol the neighborhood more often. The speeding cars and no speed limit in this neighborhood are ridiculous.
