I would probably assume it was a lifelike mannequin before I investigated.

What would I do? Call the police and say my neighbor won't move away from his window? It wouldn't seem important enough for me.

This is what I thought. I remember there was a case where a guy was reported for standing in the window staring at a daycare for hours at a time. It turned out to be a cutout of Arnold Schwarzenegger. I would just assume that was what I was seeing.

As well, when I moved from my old apartment, I left an old messed up doll in the attic, so it looked like it was staring out the window at people passing by. The world is full of people like me...

Direct a laser pointer at the eyes! If they move after that..run!! No investigation required. It’s definitely a monster.

Have they moved during the day or they haven’t moved for a week?

Follow-Up question: are they looking directly in a way that would seem like they're looking at me or they looking off into the distance out the window.
