Actor James Franco has captured public attention again, this time not for a new film project, but for his claims of being stalked by an "extraterrestrial" at his home. The 48-year-old American actor and director has shared a series of videos on TikTok, asserting he has recorded evidence of an alien presence on his property, sparking a wide range of reactions from his followers.

I saw something.

โ€” James FrancoInsisting on the reality of his alleged encounter despite others believing he is crazy.

The posts appeared on the account JamesFranco2319, which the actor launched in June and has since garnered nearly a million followers. Franco has shared several enigmatic videos, insisting he possesses proof of a strange occurrence. The narrative began on June 3, when Franco reappeared on social media after years of inactivity. In one video, he stated he had experienced something "unexplainable" and promised to share evidence over the following days, gradually building a more unsettling story.

In these videos, Franco described seeing a figure with an elongated head, glowing eyes, and a multi-fingered hand emitting strange sounds while he was painting in his garage one night. He also alleged that powerful individuals are attempting to silence him and that his Instagram and TikTok accounts have been hacked twice. In one message, he wrote, "If I disappear, you know what happened. They found me."

If I disappear, you know what happened. They found me.

โ€” James FrancoExpressing fear of powerful forces trying to silence him.

Towards the end of June, Franco deepened the mystery by repeatedly posting the number "2319," part of his account name. While some users interpreted this as an encrypted message related to his alleged encounters, Franco never publicly explained its significance. "They want me to stop. People think I'm crazy. Whatever. I'm not crazy. I saw something," he stated in a video on June 25.

I can't stay quiet. I need this to come out precisely because people are trying to stop me.

โ€” James FrancoExplaining his motivation for sharing his story publicly.

The story gained significant traction on July 13 when he disseminated a video purportedly from a black-and-white security camera. The footage shows a humanoid figure walking outside a house and peering into a window, which Franco claims has been a recurring event for weeks. In the same video, he reiterated his refusal to remain silent, stating, "I can't stay quiet. I need this to come out precisely because people are trying to stop me." The post concluded with another message fueling the mystery: "There will be much more material soon! It's going to get very crazy!" Curiously, in most of the videos, reportedly recorded on different days, the actor wears the same t-shirt, a detail that, along with his claims, has drawn attention from his followers.

There will be much more material soon! It's going to get very crazy!
