'He had his clothes on, at that point, and then he started standing there with his arms crossed and hollering at the lady at the desk,' Sherry Ketchie told WBTV.
'He stood there for a moment and then started taking off his clothes. I ain't never seen nothing [like that] in my life.'
Airport security surrounded the man as he started to strip, but he stood naked on the concourse for about an hour, said Ketchie.
'I was not expecting to see nothing like that, I've never seen nothing like that at Charlotte Douglas airport. Never,' she said. 'And that's when I got out my phone and started taking pictures.' \
