Current Events > I think someone tried to break into my home last night.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Maybe "break into" isn't quite the right term, but I'll explain.

I work the overnight shift. So I was leaving my house at 10:30 pm. It's been rainy, so the ground was really squishy. On my way to the car my footsteps were making very audible squishing noises. So when I stop to open the car door, I hear other footsteps approaching from behind. So I stop and turn around and am trying to see if anyone is there, but the noise stopped when I started checking. That kind of gave me the creeps, so I got in the car and turned on the headlights and I didn't see anyone in the yard at all. I watched as I backed out and didn't see anything. So, thinking I just misheard something I went on to work.

When I arrived home this morning, mom asked if I noticed anything suspicious when I left. I asked if she heard a person, and she asked if I had heard one. I told her about the footsteps, but that I wasn't sure. She told me that right as I was leaving, she heard someone trying to open the door. She thought I forgot something and was trying to get in, so she went to answer the door. Said she heard the doorknob being turning as she approached but that it stopped when she to the door. She got a creepy feeling and didn't open the door, but instead looked out the window to try and see if it was me. But that's when she saw me pulling out of the driveway and realized it couldn't have been me.

So, from what it sounds like is that someone was hiding in the yard somewhere, possibly quickly stepped away to hide as I approached the car then tried to enter the house as soon as I out of the driveway. Maybe they didn't realize other people were home.

But otherwise, nothing else unusual happened from what she said.

Hm, that's a good point actually. My dog wasn't barking at all. I think if he was I would've been more on alert than just ignoring it and going on to work.

He's a weirdo though, he'll sleep through pretty much anything and only barks for attention. So maybe he was asleep, but he'd likely bark for a stranger to come visit him.

Could've been wildlife looking for shelter from the rain? Eh nah, dogs bark at that too.

There is a lot of wildlife, but I doubt it. The footsteps definitely sounded human. Mom said she initially thought maybe a cat was pushing against the door to make it sound like someone was trying to get in, but then she realized the doorknob was turning.

Well, that sucks. Stay safe man.

If you heard footsteps and saw no one and saw the doorknob turn and saw no one and your dog didn't notice anything then it was a G H O S T

Well, that is unsettling.

It was strange that neither of us actually saw anything. I had a good view of the front door as I was backing out. But the driveway curves and for a few seconds my lights weren't on the house just before driving away. That's the moment mom heard the door.

The timing of her hearing the door as soon as the opportunity arose is what creeps me out. I wasn't even gone yet, if it was someone they would've had to rush to the door as soon as they thought I wouldn't notice. And mom had literally just locked it.

Of course, it could just be strange noises that coincidentally happened in time to seem like a person. So, idk... Weird stuff happens here all the time so we're kinda used to odd stuff. It's just the first time I know of that someone may have tried to get in.
