Blind keeps opening by itself

I’ve googled but all I can find is questions about roller blinds and electric blinds.

I have wooden horizontal blinds in my bedroom and it’s both creeping me out and annoying me that one keeps opening on its own. I’ll be reading/looking at my phone/getting to sleep and hear a strange almost faintly crunchy noise and the slats will slowly tilt open a few as I’m looking at them.

It’s annoying because I want privacy in my bedroom and it makes the room lighter in the morning. And obviously freaks me out a bit! But the weird thing is it seems to happen randomly and sometimes doesn’t happen at all.
Has this happened to anyone else or is my blind haunted by the ghost or a peeping Tom??

Oh I didn’t know there was one in Venetian blinds. Possibly silly question but what do I check it for?
