Was sitting on the couch with my daughter working on stuff for her college applications.
We both heard a child giggling and talking. Thought it was coming from the front porch. I figured it was one of the neighborhood kids selling something which is a near constant deal. Got up went toward the door. Can see through the glass and through the dining room windows. Nobody there. Sidewalk, yard, street. All empty.
Go back and sit down. Daughter says “nobody there?†I’m like “nope, guess the stupid brat skipped off somewhere. “
A few minutes later the front door — which has not been opened all day and which I assumed was locked — swings slowly open. This is a solid wood door. It’s not light. It’s balanced and will stay where ever you leave it on opening.
We see it when it first starts to move so nobody could have walked in. It opens up about 2/3 of the way and stops.
She looks at me. I look at her. I go to the door. Nobody there. Not on the street or in the yard. I go outside and check the bushes. There is nobody anywhere.
Closed the door. Locked it. We left.
