A terrifying video shows a woman with handcuffs dangling from her wrist with one cuff on her arm ringing the doorbell at a home in Montgomery County, Texas, in the middle of the night, sparking fears about her safety.

The video was released by the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office on August 26 in an effort to identify the woman and make sure she is OK.

The woman disappeared before the homeowner could answer the door, according to police.

The woman appears to be barefoot and wearing only a T-shirt.

The handcuffs or another type of shackles appear to be hanging from her right wrist as she frantically runs up to the door and rings the bell before leaving.

Another pair of handcuffs or shackle is possibly on her other wrist.

The woman's panicked and scared gaze meets the surveillance video camera's lens before she leaves.

An area resident, who did not want to be identified, told KPRC-TV the woman also rang the doorball at her home.

"We were dead asleep in our beds.

My husband was woken up by doorbell ring.

It rang probably 20 to 30 times.

He walked outside no one was in sight.

It's like she disappeared in thin air," she told the news station.

The woman said she went to her neighborhood's Facebook page and saw photos from the surveillance camera, which had been posted by the resident of the home across the street from her.

"Sure enough, there is a picture posted from a neighbor across the street," she told the news station.

"It was kind of scary because this girl looked like she was just in a shirt.

She looked like she had wrist restraints on her wrist and she was barefoot.

You can see her with a worry on her face looking around.

Another unnamed neighbor told ABC News the woman had rung the doorbell or knocked on doors of several other homes in the neighborhood, but she had disappeared from the doorstep every time when the door was opened.

She looked to be coming from the back of the neighborhood wearing only a T-shirt, no shoes, and has what appears to be broken restraints on both wrists.

The video also shows she was hiding from someone and being very quiet.

When neighbors got to there doors, she was gone.

This girl belongs to someone.

She has people. Family.

Someone must be missing her.

Please call our local police with any tips!" Drude's Facebook post has been viewed nearly 2 million times since she posted it on August 25.
