Mum and daughter scream as squirrel jumps through window and bounces off walls

A squirrel intruder sent a mum and daughter fleeing while screaming after bounced around the bedroom.

Carlie Jones was watching TV in her room in south Wales on August 24 when the trespasser jumped in through her open window.

After the 21-year-old leapt from under the covers screaming, the rambunctious rodent began running around her room before hiding behind her bed.

Unable to get it out after 10 minutes, Carlie enlisted the help of her mum Helen jones, 51, who grabbed a metal attic door pole to tease it out.

The animal leaps back down onto the mattress, sending the terrified pair fleeing.

Carlie said: "I was watching TV in my bedroom when it jumped through the window and landed on my bed.

"I screamed when the squirrel came in as it barely missed landing on me and was jumping around. I ran and was shouting for my mum to help me.

"I had to take the mattress off my bed as the squirrel was under it at one point and all my bedding was taken off.

"Mum was using a metal attic door pole to try and get it from behind my headboard and out of my room. It had been in there for 10 minutes before I started filming.

"The squirrel eventually jumped and ran out of the window it came through originally and ran through my garden and over the fence.

"It took another 10 minutes to get it out of the house. It was scary at the time but I can laugh about it now."

Carlie's video has been viewed more than seven million times since being uploaded to social media with commenters saying they wouldn't be able to sleep in the same room "for a good month after".

One commenter said: "I would not be able to sleep in there for a good month after seeing that."

Another wrote: "I did not expect that. Screamed as if it was going to jump out of my phone."

One person simply said: "I would have died right there."
