Ok, so when I was about 13 or 14 I lived in an older house. This house wasn't small but it wasn't huge, and our house was on a hill, surrounded by the forest and beach. So I was in my little brothers room (he was young at the time) and i noticed the window open, it usually was never open, as it led to the dog run, and smelled a bit.
So I closed it and went about my day. That night, i heard a sliding of the window opening again and went to tell my brother to cut it out, because it would stink up the house. I walk in and my brother is sleeping and no one else was in sight. I shut the window and go back to bed, thinking of the strange occurrence.
In the middle of the night, I hear what sounds like my dad walking to get food downstairs, as I slept upstairs, and thought nothing of it, other than my dad was a very heavyset man and these footsteps seemed rather light. The clashing and clunking of the cupboards and refrigerator continued and I hear my dad yell out to me to go to bed, which I find strange cause I was in bed and my dad was out and about. The walking stops and I cant hear anything else and I go back to bed.
I rest and have a relatively sleepy night. I was homeschooled at the time and i woke up a bit late. I wander down to speak with my family, have breakfast, get showered ect. My dad had the day off, but was going to see a friend and he asked me why I was getting food at 3 am and that I should be more quiet with my food getting and such. I reply by laughing and asking him if he sleepwalks at night, cause I was in my bed.
My dad shrugs it off and heads to his friends as he had a question to ask about work or something and my mom enters the room with my little brother(young at the time). My little brother comes up and tells me that he is sorry for the food going missing. I ask what he means and he tells he that "Mr. beetle (his imaginary friend at the time) is very loud when eating" I question him further, but he gets distracted and toddlers off,as most little kids do. About thirty minutes later, we smell the dog crap smell, and go out to see the window I closed, open again, i chastise my brother and close and lock it, its at this point he tells me that he had to "let Mr. beetle out" and that "he hasn't left yet".
I then hear a screech as I rush to moms side as she tells me that she thought she saw the closet door outside my brothers room open and close quickly. She calls us close to her and calls 911 as we pack in her car and drive around aimlessly. The police call back and tell us after inspecting the house, it appears someone was in our closet by night and stealing our food for they don't know how long. They can tell this by the food wrappers stuffed in the closet (as it was an unused closet).
My brother then tells my mom "Don't worry, it was just Mr. Beetle." We never caught the person and moved shortly after, It is a story throughout my family and we've told no one, luckily, my brother had no harm done to him, and he is living a healthy life, As am I, and our parents are ok too, with no relapses.
