Ok... this has freaked me out and I'm pretty chilled

(NC as I’ve text about this to a few people who haven’t replied yet)

I woke up about twenty min ago, funny feeling and went to check locks downstairs for reassurance (all secure).

There is a note on the kitchen sideboard, lined notebook paper and light blue ball point in blocky neat handwriting. It says:

‘This is your house Kathleen. You live here. David has the front bedroom and your bedroom is at the back. This is your house Kathleen and you can look at the garden.’

Really tidy kitchen, in the middle of an empty side. I went to bed last. Obv I’m not called Kathleen or anything similar and I don’t recognise the handwriting or even the pen ink.

Maybe this will be easier to grasp or solve in the morning? But right now I’m a bit 😳 and unable to sleep...

Thinking about the lined notebook with blocky handwriting in ballpoint pen it can only be a chav ghost.

I think like pp that it could be a page marker in a library book

Just bizarre, placemarking

Could it have got caught on shopping bags or something and left on the side when you picked a bag up?
Did your DH go to bed after you? He may have found it and left it there to ask you this morning

I've been up ALL night and missed this?

Can't wait for the explanation.

Place marking, creepy!

I would have had to wake DH!

I really hope it's not OP with the dementia and she is Kathleen 😟

I can't believe you didn't wake up your husband and just went back to sleep!! Did you at least double lock the doors or leave the keys in? Eep I'm freaked out for you.

Oh god, maybe it's scary David from that Twitter ghost story and Kathleen is his evil baby bride.

I don't believe it

A strong contender for Mumsnet classics.

But yikes, if this isn't made up then it's rather unsettling. It definitely reads like a dementia note - but why would it be there?

This is very surreal. Wtf has the pregnancy got got do with poor Kathleen?

This is creepy... I would have woken DH up and never could have fallen back to sleep. Hope youre ok OP.

Christ this is scary.

Update op and leahbealle?

Trying to find my way around that Reddit post is driving me to drink (it's 5.44pm Thursday here in NZ)

Like other pp's I am thinking about the ironing board that wasn't there and the pictures found under the bed. Now it's a notebook that wasn't there but now is. Poltergeist? Or previous occupier still holding a key...
Or completely reasonable explanation. We wait...

I think the note will have gone by this morning

How odd. I wonder if OP dreamt it? I'd have had DP out of bed so fast his feet wouldn't have touched the floor!

There is no way this is real. You would not find that and just go back to bed without waking and asking anyone

Ooooh how weird! (This entire thread!) Sorry nothing to add just place marking

@willowmelangell what happened in the end with the pictures under the bed? Any ending to that? And the ironing board tbf...

Read ‘Elizabeth is Missing’ recently, OP....?

I’m Kathleen.
It was me.
It’s my house
