Am I seeing things?

I was in the kitchen this afternoon, folding the laundry as you do. My kitchen window is by the back door (the one which everyone uses the most to come in/out)- we are gonna need a diagram aren’t we, I’ll get one done after I’ve posted this.
So I’m folding the washing, the kitchen/back door is to the right side of me, out the corner of my eye I saw someone walk down the garden path, it looked like a black shadow, so turned to face the back door, I saw the shadow reach to the glass and knock (but very lightly) on the door 3 times. It then looked like it walked towards my living room window, I opened the door within half a second of the knock. There was absolutely no one there. You can’t get out of the garden without waking back past the kitchen window and door and back up the garden path. Obviously no one was due over, I’ve messaged the people who would sometimes pop over, wasn’t any of those. Starting to wonder if I’ve had some kind of mild seizure that’s caused visual and auditory hallucinations!

Erm why did you open the door? Absolutely not.

Very woo !

Errrm I'd worry about anyone who needed a diagram to imagine a window next to a back door!

You're right, it's possibly a mild seizure. If it happens again, I'd make a doctor appointment.

It can't have been nice for you OP Flowers

Well I saw it physically with my own eyes touch the glass (it’s frosted glass like you would get in the bathroom), and just assumed it was someone in a black hoodie!

The thought of it being some kind of seizure scares me more I think. I’m only 26 and fit/healthy no mental health problems etc! But yes anything i will certainly be ringing the drs, hopefully I don’t get put in a straight jacket!

Anyone else have any ideas what could be going on!?

Probably a bird then.

Frosted glass makes everything look out of proportion.

Maybe. It’s just I watched it AND heard it knock 3 times on the glass and opened it immediately to nothing there

That doesn't sound like a seizure at all and I bet your GP will confirm that.

it's very woo though.

Knackeredhamster · 13/08/2023 13:24

Very strange, have you seen or felt anything off before?

LadyMacbethssweetArabianhand · 13/08/2023 13:31

Someone casing the joint? Saw your shadow move so hot footed it

Not sure if this explains what you saw but we have something similar. Our front room windows have a frosted film on the bottom half to stop the dog barking at pedestrians who pass. There are no plants in front at that point yet we can often see a branch waving when the sun is out. We have been out to look but there is nothing to the front. However, to the side is a bush and it is a shadow cast by one of that bush’s branches. I don’t understand how it works as it is well to the side, almost behind the front of the house and yet that is what it is.
