They found their garage had been turned upside down and when they went to open the front door, were met with resistance."It opens a crack and we can see a person inside our house," said Brittany.Wearing James' clothes, Ezequiel Zayas tried to stop them getting in, they said.

James said: "There's a man peeking through the door, he's trying to hold it shut and the man says, 'This is not your house,' very calmly."At first the couple thought he was a homeless drug addict who had squatted in their home while they were away.

But after his arrest and a subsequent search of the house, the true horror of his alleged intentions became clear.Their old laptop had been used to record disturbing diary entries about the family, revealing Zayas had been there for much longer than they had initially thought.And the real-life parasite had allegedly been hatching a gruesome plan to carry out surgery on them, to turn them into a species he called "omnivores".The couple said knives had been laid out next to the computer, along with a typed out ‘manifesto’ of plans for the Campbells, such as ‘sexual reconstruction’ and a ‘hand transplant’.Zayas had reportedly looked at websites to buy surgical tables, as well as how to perform certain surgeries at home.
