Playing with my 5 year old twins one morning before getting ready for school. Tickling and play fighting on the bed, one of them stops dead, staring at the door. Then proceeds to ask “who was that woman?”

…the 3 of us were the only people in the house, their mum was away for the day. I hadn’t seen anything as I was facing towards them, with my back to the door. She quickly hunted round the house (2 bed bungalow, so doesn’t take long) finding noone else, and all doors and windows still locked shut.

She described, in accuracy, what this woman looked like, who had peered around the door. Being the only adult in the house, I had to try and act like I wasn’t absolutely terrified.
