We stayed in a rental house that was originally booked

This happened just this morning, and I don’t know if it was anything supernatural, but it was definitely strange.

Over the weekend, my dad and I traveled to a small town for a family gathering. We stayed in a rental house that was originally booked by a relative, but he decided to stay elsewhere and let us have it. His wife had stayed in this same house before, just on the other side—it was a duplex-style home.

When we arrived Friday night, everything seemed normal. It was a cozy place with an open layout. You walked in straight into the living room, with the kitchen just past that. To the right were two bedrooms and a bathroom. The bathroom had a door that also connected to one of the bedrooms, which was a little odd but nothing too weird.

I picked a small room in the back, near the door to the yard. My dad originally planned to sleep in one of the front bedrooms, but he wasn’t comfortable with the bed, so he chose to sleep on the couch in the living room instead.

Everything was fine the first night. Nothing unusual happened.

Saturday, after the family event, we grabbed dinner and came back late. Around 10 PM, my dad told me one of my uncles and his daughter were coming by for a quick visit. I was so exhausted that I went straight to bed and didn’t even hear them come in.

Then, sometime between 4 and 5 AM, I woke up. I lay there for a bit, then grabbed my phone to scroll through it. That’s when things started to feel… off.
