ExampleThe moving door.
This happened to me 6 months ago. I was at my mother’s house. My husband, my daughter, my mother, my sister, my nieces and I were sitting and talking in the dinning room when I decided to use the computer that is in the living room.
So, I stood up, went to the living room and turned the computer on.
I was using the computer when suddenly I heard like someone hitting and opening the door. I saw how the door was moving!!!!. I continued working on the computer because I though they were my sister or nieces who moved and hit the door. Some seconds later I looked at the dinning room and my family was still talking. I asked them if they stood up and move the door and their answer was NO!!! There were not any people in the house and there were not windows open, there weren’t any air flows so I got scared in that moment and my mother told me don’t worry, there were happening strange things in the house that week and nothing had happened.Now every time I want to use the computer there I remember what happened that day and I feel scared.
