Something mysterious was happening in the off-campus apartment of Maddie, a junior at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro: Handprints began appearing on her bathroom walls. Items of her clothing went missing without explanation.
Maddie was flummoxed, and began to believe there was a ghost. But according to Maddie, the truth, which emerged last Saturday, was even stranger.
Police allege “Drew” is 30-year-old Andrew Clyde Swofford, who now faces multiple charges, according to a spokesman for the Greensboro Police Department, who confirms to PEOPLE Maddie’s allegations.
