The weirdest, unexplainable things always happen in my house
On October 2024 I bought my house, technically a townhouse. Cool little 2 bed, 3 bath double garage townhouse. Everyone gets along, relaxed HOA, gated etc.
When I came to see the house everything looked normal besides the fact all appliances were original to 1989. To be honest, it looked like no one had lived in it for decades. The county recorded the deed late afternoon and considering I was staying with my parents I drove that same day to the house and stayed overnight to clean. Immediately the house felt "cold", creepy in a way? I can't explain it but at the time I thought it was just a new place and it was expected.
Over the months so much has happened but it had always been things that you can't quite prove it wasnt normal. Loud noises, doors being shut when you leave, opened when you return and so on. Things that make you think "wait did i..?" Still, theres that 00.1% chance it might be been you. Until theres no reasonable explanation..
Tapping on the bedroom door at 3am. You open the door at 12am because you feel thirsty and want to get water but the SECOND you open the door you hear footsteps running and shushing downstairs. "Someone broke in" so you go searching the house. Until eventually after so many times reality sets in and you start thinking "okay maybe I dont need to go outside till morning" then you accept its your new reality and you coexist with these occurrences.
Random sticky "goo" footsteps on the stairs, objects missing just to turn up a day or two later in the randomest, plain view places.
A room that THE SECOND you cross the door frame you feel the + 10 degree change and no amount of windows opened or window AC units seem to cool down the room.
Like i said, ive accepted reality at this point and perfectly coexist. Ive found ways to minimize occurrences. Ive removed multiple doors including the downstairs bathroom, both bedroom doors, upstairs bathroom. No more doors shutting and opening on their own, no footsteps running and shushing the second I open the door, the tapping on the bedroom door at 3am. The banging is still there but its just another Tuesday afternoon.
Sometimes though I feel violated, like last night. Theres something about being touched while youre unaware that fucks with your head. I have to clock in by 5:30am so I slept fairly early. I wake up at 4:20 where I race to go eat, get dressed, prep my food etc. I woke up, go get greek yogurt and it gets on my lips right? I lick my lips and I get this intense chemically taste. More than that, I notice my lips are smooth like plastic but last night I went to sleep with chapped lips. I try to forget about it and keep eating, again, I lick my lips again and its all over them. I go for my pre-made coffee jar I left on the countertop (ew old coffee blah blah blah) and its covered in this oily residue. Not like dripping but theres a visible difference in the glass from where theres oil on it.
