Intruder
So at 5:05 this morning I heard 3 quiet knocks on our front door. I was deep in sleep, so was not quite sure if I had really heard them, but it was enough to wake me up. Chad was in the shower so I decided to go see who would be knocking on our door so early in the morning. Through our peep hole I saw a dark, shadowed figure standing to the far right of our door. I could not make out the image that well. So I studied it a bit more, and noticed his hands move. So I knew it was a person. I tried viewing upwards through our dusty peep hole to make out a face, when I saw what looked like a fact gazing towards the peep hole. Sufficiently freaked out I jumped away from the door and got Chad. He put on some shorts and grabbed a large PVC pipe he keeps under our bed. He was ready to just open the door and see who was waiting in the shadows. I persuaded him to not get us all killed by just opening the door and trying to see who it was from a different angle. With our faces smashed up against parallel windows, we tried to see the who it was, but were unable to see the front porch fully. We tried knocking on the door, jiggling the handle, trying to get this person to answer us. Finally, I opened the door while Chad was ready to swing at this intruder with the pipe. There was no one there. It was a shadow . I think I am going to clean the dust off our peep hole today.

Laura, that is freaky. Then who knocked three times? Did you just imagine it? Come back to NYC, it is safer here.
Was it just a shadow? Jed and Marie were in their living room about 10 PM on Christmas Eve with the lights ON when they heard someone try their front door knob. Thank goodness the door was locked. They tried to see who it was from the window, but couldn't see. The landlord has since put a peep hole in the door. Keep your doors locked! And PVC pipe - uh uh. You need a baseball bat.
way to go Balls! But, I likewise want to know how shadows can knock. hmmm, I'd take aunt pat's advice about the baseball bat.
That is SO scary! So, I think there was a south park once where they tried to kill someone with a PVC pipe- didn't work so well. I'm thinking next time: lead pipe, front porch, Mr. Donvito. Stay safe!
I was intensely reading and nervous to see who it was, then it ended up being no one - I think you should change the story and say Chad beat the intruder until he ran away screaming for his life. (Still a freaky story though)
Darek: Haha, that's a great story! I could totally picture Chad ready to wail on the poor shadow man!
