The day started just like any other but things soon changed when I heard an unexpected knock
on my door.
It was one of the other tenants from the floor below complaining about strange noises coming
from my apartment and asking me to stop moving things around so late at night.
I was initially confused and told the neighbor that he was mistaken but nevertheless, he
seemed convinced that the noise was coming from directly above his apartment.
A few days later, however, I did start noticing something strange.
It was only little things at first.
Objects around the house that seemed out of place.
But I thought that perhaps I was just being forgetful and distracted.
Things at work had been stressful lately so I had quite a lot of things on my mind.
But then something happened that I simply couldn’t ignore.
I don’t know how, but for some reason, the furniture in my apartment had been completely
re-arranged while I was sleeping.
Nothing was missing and there were no signs of a break in.
I wasn’t a very deep sleeper so I couldn’t explain how all this happened without being
woken up by the noise.
Then I heard another knock on the door.
It was the neighbor from downstairs again.
This time he seemed a lot more agitated and I could tell his patience was running out.
I didn’t know what to say, but he threatened to submit an official complaint to the building
owner if I didn’t stop.
Things were getting worse and I needed to get to the bottom of it.
The last thing I needed was to get evicted so I decided to make the most of the weekend
to investigate further.
I quietly moved the furniture back into place, made sure my front door was locked and I set
up my phone to record any audio while I was sleeping in the hopes that it might provide
some clues to what was going on.
I woke up and saw that once again, all of the furniture had been re-arranged in exactly
the same way as before.
On the one side, I was fearful of what was going on but I was also hopeful that my phone
picked up something that might reveal the truth.
I could only sit in silence and disbelief as I played back the audio.
I still couldn’t understand how I was not awoken by these noises.
Even the neighbor from downstairs could hear it.
The thought of having a stranger in my apartment moving things around while I slept was extremely
unsettling.
If I was going to go to the police, I knew I needed some solid proof so I decided to
set up a camera and leave it recording.
This would undoubtedly reveal the truth, no matter how terrifying.
Strangely enough, I found myself almost getting used to the idea of finding my furniture in
a different place every morning but now I had what I needed.
I hooked up my camera to my notebook and began scanning over the footage.
What I witnessed next, was something truly horrifying.
After seeing the footage, I felt so lost and completely alone.
With nowhere else to stay and no one to turn to, I decided to spend another night in the
apartment this time without moving the furniture back in its place.
I thought maybe if I left things the way they were, this nightmare would just go away and
I would be left alone but it was that night, that changed everything.
