A Man in my House?

Last night, I came out of the bathroom and saw a strange man in the hall. I ran back into the bathroom and locked the door. When I felt brave enough to come out, he was gone. I grabbed my lead pipe and searched the house for him. The doors were still securely locked and nothing seemed to be disturbed, except me. Do you ever see things that aren't there? Why does it happen? Who do you think was in my house?

What did he look like. I usually do not see things, but think I see things from the corner of my eye but usually that is just extreme stress or over tired.

@akalinus Yes a fleeting moment. So do you think it is an illness or do you think there might be spirits in the house? Just curious about it Jo Ann.

He was just a man who was dark. I think he had black hair and wore dark-colored clothes. I only saw him for a second.

@akalinus Maybe there is a ghost living with you.

I have seen other things that really weren't there. When I have a migraine, I start out by seeing wavy lines everywhere and then smoke in the room. I almost called the fire department the first time it happened.

@akalinus Really? All due to the migraine?

@jaboUK I think so. It happens whenever I get a really bad headache. I hate the dizzy feeling I get too.

This is interesting to me. It seems that now with time having passed since the incident you are second guessing what you truly saw. I have a few questions. Was it late at night? Were you tired? Had you been sleeping? My theories are this: You were still half asleep / in a dream state. You were experiencing some weird phenomena that only happens at night / during the winter season. (You saw an apparition)

@akalinus For me the word "apparition" refers to an unexpected thing happening, something out of the ordinary like a ghost. Haven't we spoken about weird things happening in the place you are now?

I know it was late in the day but not sure what time it was. I have heard of apparitions but don't really know what they are. My friend from India wrote a post here that he thought he saw an apparition but it turned out to be a shadow or something.

Hon, you need to call your son and ask him to bring a small security camera and set it up for you. He can get one fairly cheap and hook it into your internet. Then, if something happens, he can check and see what the camera shows... I hope there wasn't anyone in your house. (You already know I believe in ghosts, but I'm trying to give you a practical solution without causing you added worry. )

@akalinus Your son could hook it up so you could watch what's happening on your phone while you're locked in your bedroom or bathroom. He could set it up so he could see on his phone what's happening while you're locked in your bedroom or bathroom, too.

I guess I forgot you believe in ghosts. But the camera is a good idea. I sometimes wonder what goes on in here when I am asleep or away.

@MALUSE Thanks. That is a good idea. The only abnormal things I have seen involve missing food. I have written posts about it before. I know I'm not eating it because I have not gained any weight, so where could it have gone to? If someone came to my door and said they were hungry, I would gladly share what I have with them.

I looked all over my place which is not very big. I don't know where he would be. I have often wondered if someone else was living here because of a lot of missing food and things.

@thelme55 I have read about other people who thought someone was living in their house without their knowledge and then they caught the person sneaking around or on camera. There is no attic or basement here so I don't know where they would be. I did have a neighbor who kept telling me that there were two men on my roof but I think she was mental.

Did you see signs of a break in? Anything disturbed you're sure wasn't done so by you? If you didn't find any physical signs someone entered your home apart from you, then you either, saw a ghost (if you believe in such things) or, you're dreaming and have an over active imignation.

@rebelann We always had dogs before. When our last dog was put down due to cancer, we did not get another. We were traveling around a lot and it would have been a problem what to do with a pet. Now hubby is gone and I am alone. I am tired a lot and dogs need walking, grooming, and other stuff. I don't know if I am up to that anymore.

If this happens again, I will seriously think about getting a dog. Your dog must be a comfort to you because you will know if someone is lurking around your place.

@akalinus Over the years, where we live now, a touch lamp would turn itself on and my fireplace insert would turn itself on too. I moved the lamp to different areas of he house to try to stop it from doing that. It did stop here and there but every time O put it back where I once had it, it would turn itself on at times. It used to scare me because I thought someone else in the home turned those things on. I assume it is a power surge though making it do that but still. I got rid of the lamp a few years ago. It was a pretty lamp but it was freaking me out and becoming annoying. The fireplace still turns itself on from time to time but after the winter months, I just leave it unplugged. Makes me wonder what is going on in the house though for sure.

@stephcjh Usually, I speak to things that might not be real. I tell them that if they come from God, they can stay. If they are not from God, they must leave immediately. I only saw this person for a second and did not have a chance to say that.

@akalinus Just a figure of a man, no one that I could recognize. I was 10 or so when it happened. My brother and I were playing in the basement and he was standing over by the piano. When I lived in Philadelphia. A couple years later we moved out of the city into the suburbs. I haven't had anything like that happen again.
