'Dad? Is That You?'

While watching a horror movie, two siblings hear someone at the front door, both thinking that their father had returned home. No one was there. What caused the sound?

I received the following account:

"One night, when I was a teen, I was watching 'The Conjuring' at home with my sister when we heard someone putting a key into our front door and opening it. We were sitting in the living room next to a sliding door that was very close to the front door so we both heard it very clearly. Now this didn't alarm us since we knew our dad had recently gone out to get some stuff, so we just assumed he had returned.

“Dad, you’re back already?” I casually asked.

There was no response.

“Dad?” I asked again, thinking that he had not heard me the first time.

Again, silence.

At this point, I got the feeling that something wasn’t quite right and I could tell by the look on my sister’s face that she was quite nervous as well (I’ll note that up to this point, she had spent the evening rolling her eyes at horror movie clichés and she very rarely gets scared). We looked at each other for a moment wondering what we should do before we started hearing a few more scattering sounds from right outside the sliding door. I was frozen in fear by this stage.

I tried one more time in a louder, but shakier voice: “Dad, is that you?”

I'm thinking, 'Please respond, please respond...' repeated in my head. But the silence continued.

Now at this point, I’m freaking out and I literally jumped off the couch. My sister also abruptly gets up and starts rapidly walking towards the other end of the room which leads to the kitchen area (she later revealed to me that she was planning on grabbing a knife). She had this horrified look on her face that I hadn’t seen before. We looked at each other in nervous silence; I didn't really know what to do and I didn't want to make any further sounds.

I finally decided to walk up to the sliding door and began opening it as slowly as possible, peering into the darkness (I know, I literally became the idiot who investigates the unknown, creepy noise without anything to protect myself with). When the door was finally open wide enough, I poked my head out and scanned the hallway, preparing for the worst. To my surprise, there was no one there. But what was more strange was that the front door was still completely shut (we never heard the door close). My sister and I were obviously both extremely relieved as we were almost certain that there was an intruder in the house.

After this, I immediately went to ask my mom (who was situated in her bedroom at the other end of our house) if it was her or whether she had noticed anything. She told me that she thought my dad had come home as well and she also heard someone opening the front door.

Around half an hour later, which felt like an eternity at the time as we were still quite shaken from the incident, my dad finally arrived home and confirmed that he had not come home earlier. To this day my sister and I still have no idea what happened that night." C

NOTE: I wonder if this was a case of a thoughtform or mind manifestation that resulted from watching the horror film. The fact that 3 people heard that same sound would, most likely, dispel it as a tulpa, but I've heard of stranger things occurring. What are your thoughts? Lon
