Am I crazy or is someone entering the house?

A few years ago I found out that my husband had cheated. We separated. He stayed in the marital home and I was the one who left because he didn't want us to separate.
Since returning there have been a handful of times I have felt like someone might be entering the property when there's nobody there.
The first time I noticed it was when we came in from an afternoon out and it was like the furniture had been moved. I couldn't say what had actually been moved but the gap between certain items had narrowed as I walked through.
There were a couple of other times when I wasn't sure but it felt like things had moved. There was one time that I know that something had definately been moved.
Another time our adult DC commented on a strange chemical smell in the house as we entered. I could smell it too but DH couldn't.
It's only ever happened if we have been out during daytime, never evening.
For someone to be entering they would not only need a key but they would need to know that neither of us were in. They would also need to know if our adult DC was staying with us as he comes and goes.
I thought maybe someone could potentially track one of us via a phone, but surely not three separate phones.
I can't see that it would be possible for someone to know when all of us are out.
I'm sure I'm not going mad because I get the feeling only occasionally, not all the time, and there was one time I can say 100% something had moved.
any ideas welcome because I cannot work it out nor why a person would want to enter the house.

Please look up the term Phrogging, said frogging. Basically its someone living in your home when you are not there. I've just watched a TV series of people this has happened to. A Google search will tell you methods to catch the offenders but I would certainly be reporting this to the police and keeping a diary of events.

Oh is that what it's called?! Yeah it's a known thing and creepy as anything!

A single strand of hair, taped to the bottom of the door. If it's broken then the door has been opened

The one big thing here is that the husband said he couldn’t smell the chemical smell that two other people did smell
