Firefighters have rescued a soot-covered naked man from a chimney at a recycling company in Carroll.

Carroll Redemption Center owner Brad Sapp told the Daily Times Herald he was sorting cans Tuesday night when he heard someone whisper, "'Get out of here.'" At home Sapp's wife, Carrie, mocked him for being afraid of ghosts.

But Wednesday morning Carrie heard someone in the chimney cry out for help and say, "'I was playing hide-and-seek with my cousin. ... Don't call the cops!'"

But they were called, along with firefighters who eventually hammered a hole in the chimney before getting the man out through the bottom.

He was naked, although his clothes were inside the chimney.

Jordan Kajewski was charged with trespassing. Court records don't list the name of his attorney.
