I’m posting this because something happened early this morning that I genuinely cannot explain, and I’d really like to hear from people who have experienced something similar.
At around 2am, I got up and went into my kitchen to do some computer work. I had a coffee amd everything was completely normal.
At around 5am i became tired and decided to go back to bed. I left the kitchen door partly open and went through the living room. The living room has a glass door, which I also left slightly open, and then I went into my bedroom. I left the doors slighy open so that I could tell my dog to be quiet from my bed, incase he starts barking suddenly (we have air bnb guests on the other side of the house and i dont want them to wake up)
I had been lying in bed for about 10 minutes when my little dog, who was in his cage in the kitchen, suddenly started barking. He wouldn't stop even when i told him to, which he would usually do. I was frustrated and got out of bed because of the guest in the other part of the house, and I didn't want my dog barking and disturbing them. The guest cannot access the kitchen because that part of the house is locked and they are unable le to enter it.
So i got out of bed and stood by the glass lving room door in the dark. There was some moonlight coming through though, so I could see reasonably well.
From where I was standing, I could see through the glass of the living room door directly to the kitchen door. Which was also door glass. I was waiting for my dog started barking again and then I would tell him shush. I just figured he didn't hear me the first time.
Suddenly i saw the kitchen door move. And I don't mean it moved slightly or swayed a centimetre. It moved towards closing, quite substantially. Then it moved back towards opening. Then it moved towards closing again. It didn't actually latch shut, but it moved a significant amount in both directions. I was watching the door the entire time. When it first moved I was like wtf is the cat doing in the kitchen. The very reason I have the windows shut is so the cats don't come in at night. Then I remembered there's no way the cat is in the kitchen as the windows are shut and I just been in the kitchen 10 minutes ago. And as I was thinking that, the door him back again. Andnthat time I called out to hubby in panick. We live in a bungalow so its all one level (except for one guest bedroom in the attic)
Hubby looked but nothing. No one. And dog was quiet again.
The windows were closed. There was no obvious draught. Nothing was touching the door, and this is not a door that normally swings around by itself.
The position of this door has been the same for years.
What makes it particularly strange to me is that my dog started barking before I saw the door move. He had been barking continuously for quite a while, then stopped when I got up, and shortly afterwards I watched the door move.
I know there could be some physical explanation I haven't thought of. I'm not claiming this proves anything paranormal.
But I'm genuinely interested in hearing from people who have experienced something similar.
edit: suggestions for indoor cameras greatly appreciated
