The same homeowner now has ‘no trespassing’ and ‘private property’ signs in front of her home.
She told ABC 6 her young daughter is scared of all the people flocking to their house.
‘She’s afraid to go outside. She’s afraid to play and it’s become a concern to us because it’s concerning to her,’ she said.
Due to increased complaints, local police have increased the number of patrol cars in the area.
‘You know, we get it, we get it’s an attraction and HBO had a pretty big movie here now, but these people live here,’ Sgt. Michael Montgomery with the Nether Providence Township Police Department told ABC 6.
‘People live here, how would you like it if somebody is looking through your window and walking up on your property?’ Montgomery said.
