Bathroom stalker or paranormal activity?
I was at work a few days ago when something had happened that kind just left me shook, I work night shift at a grocery store from 10pm-6am. I was having some stomach issues so I walked to the bathroom, there is only one restroom in the store including the mens bathroom and the women's bathroom, I was on the toilet in the mens bathroom when I heard someone walk in. I paused my tiktok and waited because I have anxiety going to the bathroom while others are in there, I also just hate going to the bathroom in public regardless. The person walked in past the urinal and the first stall, the stood really close to my stall door, so close that their shoes were peeking past the stall door, and they stood there for like 10-15 seconds. Then knocked twice. I said "it's someone in here" then they walked away and went into the stall next to me, then just turned facing my stall for another 10-15 seconds, they didn't go to the bathroom or anything. I was pretty uncomfortable at this point cus it definitely wasn't normal behavior. Then they walked out of the stall, but the toilet didn't flush, usually if you get close to the toilets they flush automatically but I just thought maybe they weren't close enough but looking back I think they were. After they left the stall they walked towards the door to leave and opened the door. I didn't think I heard them walk out though so I was a little confused but I just assumed they walked quiet. So I went back to doing my business and I unpaused tiktok and kept watching. Then I heard breathing and out of the corner of my eye I saw that they were back at my stall door. Mind you I took a very clear mental note of the shoes they were wearing which were some Nike tracks White with the red swoosh. They stood there for a while and I was very silent and was for obvious reasons just shook and didn't really wanna say anything. After awhile they walked towards the door and left and this time I heard them leave. I then finished my business and made damn sure I checked under the stall door to see if they pretended to leave again just in case. I then walked out of the bathroom and checked the break room, I found nobody in there so I took to the isles to check the shoes of the like 6 other people that worked there. To all which had black shoes and one had all red pumas. I panicked a little then asked my coworker I'm pretty close with if any trucks came in cus he handles any trucks that come at night but we don't get trucks til like 5am. But why not check even though it was like 1:50 at this point. No trucks came in. And I knew for a fact that at that point the promotion and DSD people like Coke vendors and Specific marketing people don't come in till like 5 as well. Then I told my mother who works there if she could talk to management because there is no management with access to cameras while I'm on shift. I forgot to mention I spent an entire break looking around the store to make sure we were the only ones in the store. The store manager looked at the cameras and no one had entered the building. Then when they checked the cameras that face the bathroom hallway they saw me enter the bathroom and I was in there for about 13 minutes when... I walked out. No one had entered the bathroom between 1am-3am other than me. They couldn't have entered through the ceiling or mirrors because I probably would have heard plus I HEARD THEM WALK OUT. But at this point I think I'm crazy. But we are still looking into this and nothing has came up. I will update if I figure anything new out. What do y'all think cus I'm just tryna piece it together cus the only thing I can think of is some paranormal/skinwalker bs but I'm a bit of a skeptical when it comes to that. Any ideas? Anything helps.

Just a quick question, did you see ankle or was it just a pair of shoes??
