  • My Weekend

    It snowed here over the weekend. It snowed both Saturday and Sunday. Both days me, my mom and boyfriend had to go to get something to eat. We went out Saturday to Wendy's, which there is one in my town. Sunday we went over to Hershey to get KFC. I found out they got rid of the Popcorn Chicken and was really disappointed. They replaced them with Bites and instead of coming in sizes like the Popcorn Chicken, you have to get in pieces. Like six pieces, ten, etc. They cost more than the Popcorn Chicken did too. Before heading home, we had to stop at the grocery too. 

    Even though it snowed, it was still a nice weekend. Marc and I were playing Lego Harry Potters Years 1-4 for the Wii and beat it. We're going to start playing Aragorn's Quest soon. 
    Something weird happened over the weekend. It happened Sunday night, it was around 1am. Marc and I were sitting in my room. Suddenly, we heard a knock. It was at my door. And before I go any further, let me explain something. On our front porch, there are doors. We only use one of them, and that is the one that leads into the living room. One of the other doors on porch leads into my bedroom, but the door isn't used and hasn't been used for years. You can tell when you come up on our porch, which is the door to go to. Where my door is, which is at the end of the porch near the drive way and get to it, you have to go past the chairs, swing and table on the porch, plus some other things that are laying directly in front of the door. 
    So, it is 1am and someone knocks on my door. They wait a few seconds and knock again. After that, there is no more knocking, but I tell my mom what happened. We look out the windows, but see no one. About 10 minutes later, my mom yells for me and tells me that someone is on the back porch. 
    I got a flashlight and used it to look out the window, but saw no one. Then, me, my mom and boyfriend went outside to look around. Marc and I walked behind the house. We couldn't see much since there is no working light out back, but in the distance, I heard someone walking. I couldn't see them, but I heard them and I just left like we weren't alone back there. I was glad when we finally came in the house.
    On Monday, we found footprints in the snow that leads from our driveway to the alley behind our house. It seems the person used the alley to walk up to our house into the driveway. Then, they went back down the driveway into the alley again. And from where the footprints go, it seems they might have went to some other peoples houses as well. 
    We don't know what was going on, but there have been some break ins on my road in the last few years. So, we are being careful and told our neighbors what happened so they can watch out for anyone lurking around peoples houses.
    But besides that, the weekend was fine. Marc and I had fun playing video games together. And the reason I didn't post anything yesterday is because my internet connection has been messing up. 
    How was everyone's weekend?

  • Oh, dear Lord ... that sounds scary! It is good that you did not open the door first and glad that you are not at home alone either - esp at such time. What odd is, the knocking did not come with a calling of names or whatsoever - usually when I knock on someone`s door, I would call out to make sure if someone is there at home or not ...

    You take care, dear! Till later.

  • scary about the knocking.  i'm glad everything is ok.

  • that's pretty creepy about the knocking and the break ins, glad you are safe.

  • I sympathise with how unsettling the mystery knocking incident must have been. We have a porch at the front of the house in which we just leave our shoes and coats, nothing more valuable than an umbrella perhaps. This we don't bother to lock because we do also have a front door inside the porch which we DO lock. But twice in the last fortnight it's sounded as though someone has wrenched open the porch door and then shut it again quickly when the dogs have barked (it's one of their trigger noises.) We've looked outside but seen no one but it's made us wary so we've started to lock the porch door when we go to bed.

    It's a eerie feeling suspecting that someone may have been planning something nasty for you or your property.

    I hope you (and your internet connection) are feeling much better!

  • Glad you are Ok Yep they were checking the door to break in. They used to do that at our apartment complex. Freaky though.

  • Geez! How creepy! I'm thinking about getting some of those security cameras, but I suppose they're expensive.

  • EEEEEEK!!  Spooks me out!!

  • Yikes. Stay safe.
