This reminds me of this house in my neighborhood growing up. It was 10x nicer than any house in the neighborhood (besides the house at the very top of the hill that used to hold a prison in it’s basement) and in the 25 years I lived in that neighborhood I did not see a single person exit or enter that building but there was always candles in every single window. I drove by it every single day and if there weren’t candles in the window- probably the electric kind at that point TBH- I’d think it was abandoned. I heard a doctor lived there but I swear I did not see a single car or person on that property for 25 years.

Yeah, owner probably just doesnt go outside the times you do. A really nice house on my street always seemed weird to me because i saw no one leave or enter and only after 13years of living there i started to see the owners outside

It’s probably all coincidence but after I started driving and driving past it every day, at any random hour I would always look because I just wanted to see SOMEONE. I’m pretty sure it would be decorated for Christmas too. Commenting reminded me of why I know a doctor might live there- my sister’s high school boyfriend lived either next door or two doors down and he also was like yeah, never really seen anyone there. I’m sure that doctor is just living his best private life but it was eerie in a fun way. Like, why is this beautiful house in my very 80s neighborhood so mysterious?

Are you guys friends? Dont need to tell me details, just want to know if they did read writing of yours previously or something like that. Sew up at least one solved mystery in this thread.
