A Texas family was startled when its doorbell camera recorded a man wearing a Joe Biden mask standing outside the home at night while eating a banana.
The unsettling scene unfolded shortly after 8 p.m. Sunday in Watauga, roughly 10 miles from Fort Worth. The family’s Nest camera captured the unidentified man approaching the front door, WFAA reported.
Barefoot and wearing the Biden mask, the man walked to the entrance and opened his jacket, exposing a T-shirt emblazoned with the word “FREEDOM.” The shirt appeared similar to one Charlie Kirk was wearing when he was assassinated at Utah Valley University in September 2025, according to the video.
He then peeled the banana, nodded and leaned toward the camera, creating an unnerving close-up of the former president’s latex likeness. The man tapped the device twice, apparently attempting to activate the doorbell.
After taking a bite and appearing to look directly into the lens, he turned around and walked away.
The residents reported the incident to Watauga police and provided the video. However, investigators found “no evidence that a criminal offense had occurred,” Police Chief Jim Lewis told WFAA.
Officers searched the surrounding area but were unable to locate the masked man, Lewis said.
“Although the individual’s choice of attire and snack may have raised a few eyebrows, neither appears to have violated the law at this time,” Lewis said.
“And while we can’t explain the costume, the banana, or the apparent political identity crisis, we can confirm that being bizarre is not, in itself, a criminal offense.”

Watauga police have since learned of social media posts from other residents describing similar sightings involving the masked individual, WFAA reported.
Police said they did not have any additional video to release.
Lewis emphasized that the department treats such reports seriously and urged residents to continue notifying police about suspicious activity, “even when the circumstances are a little bananas.”
The bizarre doorbell-camera video has prompted a flood of puzzled reactions online.
“This is scary and so confusing at the same time,” one person wrote in a comment on WFAA’s Instagram post.
“Why’s he eating a banana,” another user asked.
“Don’t play with people’s doors. Nothing good will come from it,” a third commenter warned.
The Post has contacted Watauga police for further comment.
