A Weird Neighbor

I'm going to tell you about weird neighbor we had in this complex. This was a woman who lived on the floor above us. The first time we met her, she stopped and rang our door bell.
When my better half opened the door, she asked if he would accompany her to her apartment. She said someone had been coming inside her apartment while she wasn't there and moving items around. She was afraid to go in alone. She kept saying things that didn't make sense.
I told her I would go with her and I did. She unlocked her door and we looked in the rooms, closets, under the bed, everywhere anyone could hide. I couldn't see anything wrong, but she showed me things that had been moved. I told her she was safe and left.
She stopped several times and always asked my better half to accompany her, but he wouldn't go. I always walked with her and went inside. She was so obsessed with someone being in her apartment, we were afraid she might get him up there and accuse him of attempting to molest her or some such nonsense. She finally moved and we were glad to see her go.

I do not blame your better half for hesitating. She may have just had mental problems, but she might have also been trying to get your better half alone and accuse him of something. You can not be too careful nowadays.

@RubyHawk I have an uncle that I believe I've talked to you about before. He has bouts of paranoia similar to this. He will say he hears things that others don't, or sees things that others don't. Part of it is hi memory. He will put something down somewhere and forget that he put it there. When he sees it there and not in the place it normally is, he panics.

@ScribbledAdNauseum That might have the problem of this lady. It sounds like the same pattern. It must be hard for the family to deal with your uncle.

It sounds as if she had a few mental issues and needed help. I am glad you were kind enough to accompany her to the apartment to check it out. I hope she got the help she needed.

@RubyHawk So many people go through life without the help they need. Perhaps since she moved she got that help.

@Shellyann36 I hope so. I thought she needed treatment.

@Strawberry18 She might have been perfectly innocent but it seemed strange.

It sounds like the poor thing was not mentally well, but at least she is out of your hair now.

Is it possible she was starting to go senile, and was moving things around herself and then forgetting she did it? Or maybe she was just have some mental health issues. But you were smart not to let your husband go up there with her.

That poor thing was quite paranoid. I agree that you husband should not have gone up with her. Good thinking.

I'm sure you were glad to see her go. I wouldn't be surprised if that was her ultimate reason for asking your better half to accompany her.

Some people did that, framed some men for molesting them in order to get some money out of the victims. Didn't sound like she was a good neighbor of yours.

Ohh, she's really a weird neighbor. But thankfully she moved already.

Either she faked the situation and had a plot to accuse your husband of molestation or she suffered with some bouts of paranoia. Glad that you didn't fall for her trap. But if she suffered from mental sickness, she really needs good professional help.
