A man told the ECHO that a group of youths repeatedly knocking on his window and ringing his doorbell caused him to suffer an anxiety attack.
The man said the hooded and masked youths were captured on his Ring doorbell camera on Halloween, Sunday, October 31.
He had spotted them as they approached his house in New Ferry and said he had no intention of answering the door after spotting them on camera.

Video showed three masked youths with their hoods up pushing their faces right up to the Ring doorbell camera.
Members of the group brazenly made obscene, sexual gestures into the camera while waiting for somebody to answer the door.
The masked youths are then be seen looking through the window before saying "trick or treat" and waving into the camera before uttering more insults and obscenities.
The youngest looking trick or treater then pulls his mask off and presses his face right up and blows kisses into then licks the camera.
After a while, two of the gang walk away but the tallest member determinedly keeps pressing the buzzer shouting "hello" then knocks on the window again saying "trick or treat" before finally giving up and walking away.
The man who recorded the footage said: "I was just sitting at home in my back room when I heard the ring doorbell notification on my phone and looked at it, seen it was three teenage boys roughly between 12-15 years old.
"I don't give out sweets for Halloween as I don't really like Halloween so I decided to just leave it and they kept knocking and wouldn't leave so I just kept watching what they where doing".
He went on to say that the obscene gestures and language the group used while persistently ringing the doorbell gave him an anxiety attack and so he made the decision not to answer the door or speak to them for fear of repercussions.
After the video was posted on Facebook, neighbours replied condemning the teenagers intimidating behaviour.
One woman said: "Disgusting, I hope their parents do recognise them, how shameful".
A man replied: "Shocking to think what they would of done if you actually opened the door".
Another man said: "I hope mummy and daddy see this display".
While one woman branded the teenagers "Mindless prats".
