The “Boston Foot Tickler” was once thought to be a myth, like a centaur or actress Kathleen Turner once being hot.
But students at Boston College have recently discovered the Tickler is real and targeting their campus.
According to The Boston Globe, a man has been breaking into the homes of Boston College students and either watching them sleep or tickling their feet.
The Tickler has now been sighted ten times, with three of those sightings coming on April 7. He has been described as a 5-foot-8-inch black male who either tickles his victims’ feet or masturbates while he watches them sleep through a window.
Jake Barrows told the Globe he hasn’t slept in his bed since the night he saw the Tickler standing at the end of his bed before running out the back door. Daniel Marenzi said he awoke last October to his feet being tickled, but the Tickler was already out the door by the time he sat up.
Every victim who spoke with the Globe was male and none of them reported any valuables being stolen. And now they all know that they have really nice feet … so that’s nice.
None of these pranks involve feet tickling or masturbation. That’s why they’re pranks and not crimes: Hilarious College Dorm Pranks
