Model Gustė Janušauskaitė claimed on June 14 that last year she caught an alleged stalker lurking outside her bedroom window.

According to her now-viral TikTok, a Ring camera that Janušauskaitė's mother had her to install outside her home captured footage of a man walking up to her bedroom window and peering inside. The model has since moved but told her followers that she has PTSD from the incident.

In a TikTok that now has more than 1 million views, Janušauskaitė says: "Woke up to police at my door because my mom caught someone stalking me last night." The TikTok opens with Ring footage of Janušauskaitė outside her home talking to a police officer.

The video then shows what is thought to be footage from the night before. "This man appeared as soon as I came home," she says.

Viewers can see a man walking past her front door. She switches to footage from a camera placed outside her bedroom window that shows the man walking through her yard and up to the window. She claims she does not know how long the man remained on the property.

"Police did nothing, so we moved the camera closer to my room and caught him coming back," she continues as she shows footage from a different angle, which captures the man again trying to look through her bedroom window.

Viewers were concerned for her.

"Get automatic motion lights that light up when someone stands close," suggested a commenter named Lorena. "We get robbers in the area and our lights scare them off!"

"Please be careful," commented another TikToker named Lexii. "Don't leave your house without your phone or something to protect yourself with."

Janušauskaitė posted several follow-up videos providing a more detailed timeline for her followers.

In part two of the series, Janušauskaitė says: "So, randomly my mom decided to put up Ring cameras, one in front of our front door and the other one outside of my room."

She explains that at the time, she thought her mother's decision to install the cameras was "extra" because their community was "safe." However, she says that she is ultimately thankful for her mother's "intuition," because the decision to install the cameras "saved [her] life."

"I got home at 11:10 p.m., and he was outside of my window by 11:11," she says in the TikTok. "So, he knew my schedule and when I got home."

In part three, Janušauskaitė again claims that police did nothing to help with the alleged stalker. So, she decided to set up a trap outside of her window. According to the video, she tied a rope between the base of two trees that would cause the stalker to trip. Janušauskaitė says that the noise from his fall would alert her that someone was outside.

"A week goes by, we don't hear anything, but here comes the following Sunday," she says. "I get home at 2 a.m., and guess who hears my booby trap go off at 2:05?" She ends by telling viewers to watch part four.

In the following video, Janušauskaitė says that once she heard the noise from outside her window, she "immediately had a panic attack." She tells viewers that she checked her Ring app and saw that the "stalker" was standing directly outside her bedroom window, trying to peer inside.

"So, I'm watching him watching me literally two inches away from my f***ing face," she says.

Instead of calling the police at that moment, Janušauskaitė ran to her mom's room. She alleges that her mother then ran back to Janušauskaitė's bedroom, opened the blinds and started beating on the window.

She eventually called the police, but not until after the man "very calmly walked away" from her house. By the time the police showed up, the man was nowhere to be found. She claims they told her to keep her blinds closed at all times and to be alert whenever leaving her home.

"This is literally how women die because no one listens to us and we're constantly in danger," she says.

When a commenter suggested she contact the police while he's outside, she says she wished she'd done that, but her "fight or flight" kicked in. She advised anyone who might be dealing with a stalker to "not let them know that you know."

Janušauskaitė now lives in a third-floor apartment so no one can look through her windows.

"I do carry pepper spray and a pocket knife, but I don't know if I should still be concerned about this man coming back," she says in one of her follow-up TikToks.

"He might still stalk your social media," commented a viewer. "So be careful with what you post if it is close to your new apartment. Be careful! So sorry this happened!!"
