Question

I was talking to my best friend the other day and she was telling me about some stuff that was going on in her house. I was wondering if anyone would give me their take on what they think really happened. I don't really think it's paranormal, but in case someone knows something I don't I thought I'd post it.

Her back door is hard to close, every time I've seen her husband shut it he puts some muscle into it. She said that one night he came in, shut the door, and locked it. A few minutes later she said she happened to look up and saw it slowly opening. She got a little freaked about it. She said that when she shut it, she noticed that the door k**b was still locked.

There have been some other strange things that she's discribed to me, but I'm not sure this one's anything to worry about.

So what do you think, did her hubby not get the door shut properly? Or could there be something else going on there?

Answer 1

Without knowing where you are, I am going to suggest that the hubby didn't get it shut all the way and it opened either when the furnace turned on or another door in the house was closed causing a sudden and brief change in pressure.

Answer 2

He probably didn't shut it properly. If it's that hard to close they may have a foundation problem that is causing the house to slant, therefore gravity will cause the door to swing back open if not shut right.

Answer 3

Easily solved problem, install and lock the deadbolt lock. If the door open by itself after being deadbolted then you have something unusual to investigate.

Answer 4

When I was a kid, we had a basement door that wouldn't shut quite properly and when there was certain cold drafts from pressurized air or changing temps outside the door would slowly open unless completely shut and bolted. My dad told us kid that there was a ghost in the basement and was keeping an eye on us  for him and that he sneak up when we were bad. or misbehaving.  Don't know about that but we never went down there unless he was with us. Never saw a "ghost" but still got a lot of spankings

Answer 5

Sounds like the hubby didn't get it closed all the way.

Answer 6

Call the ghost busters

Answer 7

I am sorry, It was me lurking about, trying to scare her.  Let her know that I am sorry for any fear I caused her but I just needed to get out of their... I had a meeting I wanted to buzz... They will be talking about this for months down at the coffee shop

Answer 8

the door probably didnt close properly.. anyway.. wait for a while and see if any other strange things happen.. if they do.. put it on here and we will try and help.

Answer 9

More than likely the door did not shut properly. Are there any other unusual things going on on the house? If so have a Cleansing done of the home.

Answer 10

it could be a stuck door and it could be something, I lived in a house where for two years, one door would open by itself. The catch? it was dead bolted with a keyed deadbolt when it opened. Happened all the time. you had to have the key to unlock this deadbolt, and yet you would be sitting there watching TV and you would look up and this door would be opening. the skepticle wiz kids here will tell you its just a door jamb thats swelling and shrinking. But until you have experienced this stuff, its not very believable. tell them to make sure the door locks are engaging properly, if they are, they could have a visitor.

Answer 11

This alone is easy to answer with a logical answer. That's why I'm wondering why you didn't tell some of the other things that have been happening in her house. That makes a BIG difference. Would you please "Edit" and "Add Details" and tell us what else has been happening in her house? Thanks!
