The Door Was Locked

Half a year ago I lived across the street from my college with my couple month old son and his second cousin. During the summer I had taken a class at the college on the paranormal. Part of the class was to go out and go ghost hunting. Luckily for me the college itself happens to have a reputation for being haunted and one of the buildings was being torn down during this assignment. So I wandered over to the college in the middle of the night with my son. Meet up with some of the employees (my mom works there so I was on speaking terms with most of the staff) and have them take me through some of the buildings. We get to one that's fairly popular paranormal wise and my son who has always been a doll starts freaking out I mean full on temper tantrum. He wouldn't stop until finally we left the building. I got a few pictures of orbs but nothing spectacular.

During the next couple weeks things started getting weird in my apartment. My son's toys would go missing then appear in the room between me and the room mate while we were talking about it in a place we had both looked tons of times. The tv volume would act up and I would randomly feel like I was being watched.

One morning I came down stairs because my roommate called me to unlock the deadbolt.

Now the deadbolt was set up so that it could only be locked and unlocked from the inside of the house, we both agreed when moving in that we would never lock it. Yet here it was locked. At the time we brushed it off as me being tired and locking it without thinking. That was until the incident happened.

I took my son over to the college to have a walk and eat lunch with my mom. When we got home I unlocked the door and went to open it. Only it wouldn't open. The dead bolt was locked. My roommate was out of town visiting an ill family member so no one should have been inside the house. My initial thought was someone broke into the house. So I call my mom shaking telling her what's going on and to be on standby at work because I was going to call my son's father to come over and check out the house for me before calling the police.

I sit outside with my son ready to bolt if someone comes outside smoking a cigarette while I wait for my son, s father. I see him pull up below and at the same time here the sliding of the deadbolt and a click of it unlocking the door. The door was suddenly unlocked when I had tried it a bunch of times before that. We walked through and checked the house for anyone but it was empty.
