THE View's Joy Behar has shocked her co-host Sara Haines with a true story of her "illegal" activities during a candid conversation live on the air.

The discussion kicked off when Sara, 44, described "a scary thing" that happened to her on The View.

The ABC star revealed how her son Alec, six, played a prank on her, claiming to her: "I think I saw someone upstairs, momma!"

Sara nervously said: "I am the adult! What do I do?"

However, Alec then said: "Just kidding!"

This led Whoopi Goldberg, 66, to mention it would be scarier if someone was "living inside the walls" and "peaking."
