(16,161 posts)three yrs ago we bought this house we're living in. In conversation with the neighbors I found the previous owner raised dogs for fighting and at one time had 18 of them in cages. One evening I was watching the teevee machine and thought I saw a dog walk through the hallway and into our bedroom. No noise, just a shadow. I got up to look and there was nothing there. A while later, a few days at least, while waiting to fall asleep, I felt the weight of something climb onto the bed and lay down near my feet. I could feel whatever it was relax like a dog would prior to drifting off. Ya'll know that feeling? I sat up, nothing there. A few weeks later it seemed like I felt the snout of a dog lift my hand for petting. I again sat up and looked, nothing there. Anyway, I've gotten a mental image of this "thing" to be a boxer/pitty mix in black with a white fur patch from it's eyes to the nostrils. Hasn't caused me any problems and I don't have to walk or feed it so it gets to stay.
Next strange.
Same house.Three bedroom/two bath. Master bath is in the master bedroom, 2nd bath is off a hallway. I get out of bed before my wife does and usually use the hallway bathroom for my wake up call and the lid to the commode is always closed.Two weeks ago the toilet seat in that bath was fully up. both the ring and the lid. when I went in to use it. My wife did not use the bathroom that night and neither did I. We assured each other we weren't the ones that left it up. Three days ago, it happened again. other days I wake up to the smell of burnt toast in the hallway, no one in the kitchen, the toaster is not on but the smell is distinctive just like someone is making breakfast. Other days, it's the smell of cigarette smoke in the master bedroom and neither my wife or I smoke cigarettes, especially at 6 a.m.
I can't find anywhere these things might be generated from.
I wonder how much stranger it's going to get.
