Juliet Jarvis, 49, found her son, Stewart Kinsey, 30, under a duvet cover on her dressing room floor at 4.30 a.m. on Sunday morning. He was completely naked under the duvet so she gave him a pillow and he said: "thank you". She then returned to bed but before that, she was taken aback by the fact that he thanked her and she thought to herself: "hmm, Stewart sounds very polite."
The following morning, Juliet woke up and got a huge fright. Her husband, Cliff, came downstairs and what he told her chilled her to her bones.
He said calmly: "There’s a naked bloke upstairs and it is not Stewart."
It was at that point that the woman realized that a drunk man who looked like her son had come into her house at night and she had no idea and even went on to make him feel comfortable. Fortunately for her, he meant no harm.
Juliet took to Facebook to write about the incident. She said the naked stranger, Marc Campfield, 29, looked like her son and had his build so it was easy to make the mistake, although there were some things she considered strange at the time she found him but she didn't think much of it. The stranger also had half his face painted for Halloween so she couldn't tell he was not her son.
In a Facebook post, Juliet wrote: "Thought it was odd that Stew's car wasn't outside and a bit strange that he would come round in the early hours for a kip in my walk-in."
She continued: "I thought his hand looked mucky, but figured it could be that his car broke, and just thought ah well, Stewart does funny stuff, he can explain what he is up to in the morning. So off I went back to bed."
Juliet said: "In the morning it turned out it was a guy called Marc, with a half painted face who had left his clothes in the conservatory covered in mud, with his muddy phone. I wonder if he was walking home and threw himself over the fence at the back? Or did he pick up all that mud in the woods? We live in the middle of nowhere."
Juliet said: "I went in to see a head poking out from a duvet. He said, 'I just need to sleep'. I told him I would get him a pillow, slipped it under his head and made sure he was warm and OK. His hands were filthy but just thought, 'Oh well, Stewart does funny things'. He said 'thank you' and I thought, 'Hmmmm, Stewart sounds very polite'."
The next morning, a still-drunk Marc poked his head out of the door and was greeted by the Cliff. Unsure how he found himself there or what to do to get himself out of the situation, he lied to the family that he knows their son.
He said: "I tried to bluff that I knew their son. The lady took a picture of me to send to him — I knew then I had been rumbled."
The couple gave him a T-shirt and jeans to wear before he came downstairs. Juliet then asked him if he drank the night before. He replied, 'I think so', and they all started laughing.
Marc added: "I could not have stumbled into the home of two more lovely people. They were so understanding."
Juliet's son got wind of the incident and was disappointed his mum still couldn't recognise him.
He said jokingly: "I’m going to have some serious words with my mother — she still can't recognise me after all these years."
