Maddy shared a picture of the image she saw on the camera on TikTok, which showed the jungle animal apparently standing on its forearms right in front of the sofa.
“I just looked at my baby monitor and saw a GIANT GORILLA IN MY HOUSE????” she captioned it.
“I ran in and found…”
The next picture showed what she found when she ran into the house.

While trying to figure out where the animal had gone, she eventually realized that her son’s toy gorilla had been left near the security camera, making it seem like the monkey was in her house.
“I’ve never rushed over to see what the hell makes it look like that!” laughed Maddy.
The comments section was almost instantly filled with people hysterical about their hilarious mishap.
“Now I know what this looks like. I will keep playing pranks on you,” wrote one.
To which Maddy replied: “Please don’t, I was really panicking!”
“This really made me laugh,” added another.
“I actually haven’t stopped laughing about it since it happened,” Maddy replied.
“There was no point in making me laugh like that,” said another.
“No, because can you imagine if it hadn’t been there when you looked? How confusing!” laughed another.
“When I went in and found absolutely nothing, I was so confused and thought maybe my monitor was hacked,” Maddy replied.
“The toy was so small that it took me a while to realize it came from THAT little toy!”
I think I would have died of fright!

“Hahahahaha that really looked so convincing!!!” said someone else.
“Oh my god, I can’t stop laughing. The day was 100% done,” said another.
“May I ask what your plan was, if it was a real one?” someone else asked.
“Absolutely no plan, except that my baby was in the house so I had to run in,” Maddy replied.
“I think I would have died of shock!” admitted another.
Someone else said, “The SWAT team would have been at my door before I even looked!”
Others reported similar situations that had happened to them. One said: “It happened to me with toy cars, but TO A GORILLA??”
“This happened to my cat – I thought I saw a black panther!” wrote another.
