This story is for the birds. Gary and Patti Reitemeyer returned to their home to a scene straight out of an Alfred Hitchcock movie. Hundreds of swallows had apparently entered their home through the chimney! “We opened the door and it was crazy! We were ducking and dodging”, said Gary. They called a restoration company to help clean the house, as it was uninhabitable. “All of the furniture is gone, all of the carpet is gone, the blinds are gone,” Gary said. No word if this will be a Netflix movie or not.
