The writing is on the wall

So Sunday morning I go into my front room to open the curtains and upon doing so I notice on the wall near the T.V (right in my eye line) some odd looking marks on the wall. Now I've tried my hardest to capture the markings with my camera, but I found it really hard getting a photo without editing it in photoshop.

At first I thought to myself it's probably the result of my grandson, but upon reflection, he hasn't actually visited the house for over a week, and even then if had drawn on the wall we would of noticed it as it's right next to the T.V.

I can't make anything out in the sense of it being a word, but I will post it anyway, and put it down to one of the oddities of living here.

All Hallows' Evening

Yes - Yes I know it's been a fair while, but again to be honest I'm trying to write less about what's going on around me and within this house, and to concentrate on the positives in my life, and my many hobbies. Plus apart from the odd noise or shadow nothing really has happened, which brings me around to last weekends events.

So last weekend it was Halloween here in the U.K. and although I don't do a great deal to celebrate the date apart from the odd candle and watching a film on T.V, we don't even get trick or treaters approaching the house ( I suspect because we are near the top of a step hill), so yes, we don't do much. Anyway, the evening before Halloween I was woken up around 3:48am by someone banging, it was 3 heavy thumps. I got straight out of bed and did the usual rounds i.e. checking the doors and windows, and although I knew the sound came from within the house, well it could of been one of a few things, so I got back into bed and fell back asleep.

Later that day I was in the main bedroom, and although it wasn't actually very late it had been a hard day at work, and I was ready for bed, but as I sat on the side of the bed I heard the door handle on the bathroom door rattle followed by the door slamming, and I genuinely mean slamming shut. Now again to be 100% honest this has happened before, but that was due to the bathroom window being left open. The thing that made me take note was the fact I knew the bathroom window was in fact shut, and the only reason I know that was because, 1. I shut it, and 2. The reason it was shut is due to the drain near the bathroom window being partially blocked and smelling pretty bad. The crazy thing was I still got up and walked to the bathroom to double check, and I went into the room only to be greeted by a closed window and little else.

That leaves me with the Saturday after Halloween, well the day had been a good day, I had family around, and things seemed fine. Then as the evening drew in I had a few guests around for tea, again very normal in my house. Basically I left all the guests in the main front room and walked off to the bedroom to close the curtains (to keep the heat in), so it was mid evening at best. Well I walked into the bedroom, put a cloth on the end of the bed, and instead of walking to the window bay to close the curtains I did a swift 180 degree turn only to be greeted by one of my wardrobe doors being fully open, which was closed when I just walked past.

I closed the door and left the room heading back out to the main front room.

Now the following day I tried to recreate the door opening, I had the door partially open, 1/2 open, closed, I even jumped up and down on the floor yet nothing, I couldn't recreate the door opening, let alone even moving in the slightest. The door doesn't swing shut, it doesn't fall open, so I've no idea as to what was going on.I don't think the calender event had anything to do with what happened over those few days, and the only thing that comes to mind is that if there is actually something here, well it's after attention. The only reason I say this is that it all feels very cliche, and by that I mean I can have people here and nothing happens, yet I wander off on my own and something happens, random.
