This is The Guardian.
Today, the sinister rise of hidden spy cameras.
So, the very first day that I moved in and I had a bath,
I sensed that there was eyes watching me when I was in the bathroom,
which I know sounds ridiculous, but I just sensed it.
It was just before Christmas in 2019, and Heidi Marnie was having a terrible time.
Her relationship had broken down, and suddenly she and her baby daughter were homeless.
Help arrived in the shape of a family friend,
who offered them a room in his house in Sewerby Bridge, near Halifax in West Yorkshire.
It was a detached farmhouse, four bedrooms across three floors.
And my daughter and I had the back end of the house.
The rent was low and Heidi was grateful.
But in the bath that first night, something felt off.
So he had a sensor in the corner and also a TV in the other corner with a dongle hanging down with a red light.
So I took a picture of that and I sent it to my friend and I said,
you don't think that's a camera, do you?
I have an unbelievable feeling I'm being watched.
And my friend said, no, that's just a sky dongle so you can have sky in every room.
Heidi felt stupid for even suggesting it.
I said, no. He's the nicest person.
