Tonight hours ago I locked an inner door a few feet away from the front door of the house I live in, something I like to do as an additional security measure. A few minutes ago I decided to go outside and check the mailbox very close to the front door. I put on my shoes, noticing nothing unusual about the inner door right in front of me. When I came back from checking the mailbox, I noticed something very unusual. The inner door was now ajar several inches, and locked (in the sense that the handle was unmovable unless you unlocked it) -- a state I can never recall seeing it in previously. I am at a loss to explain this. I only lock this inner door when it is closed. I wonder whether this event has some symbolic significance.
This is not the spookiest thing I have seen involving a door. As reported here, at a previous residence I once heard the lock cylinder turning on a locked door, and saw the door open slightly, without anyone entering. Going to investigate, and opening the door all the way, I saw no one nearby.
Postscript: Odd things followed. The next Monday I heard a tooth paste tube falling into a sink a full minute after I had left a bathroom, with no one else around. The same night a light seemed to turn on by itself in the hall. The next day while watching a TV episode almost to its end, my PlayStation machine mysteriously turned on, when the TV remote was an arm's length away from me, and I was sitting alone in the room. The PlayStation and its controller were two meters away, and turning on the PlayStation machine requires either touching a button on the machine, or clicking a particular sequence of two clicks using the TV remote.
