This time we saw something too. We saw what appeared to be a man running through our backyard. I then looked down at the lock on the backdoor and realized it was unlocked. When I reached down and locked the deadbolt, the noise from locking the door startled the man that was in our yard. He stopped on the patio and was now on the other side of the door staring right back at me. My uncle and I quickly ducked down for what seemed like a minute or two. When we popped back up to look out the window, the man was still standing on the patio just staring back at the house. My uncle and I quickly came up with a plan to try to and scare him off. First, we tried to turn off all the lights to make it look like no one was home. But when we looked out the window, he was still there. We then tried to make it look like we had a weapon, but that failed too.

We then heard sirens in the distance that sounded like they were getting closer. Looking out the window, I noticed the man running down the street and out of the light. I did not fall asleep at all that night because I had no idea where to he was. As I laid there in bed, I thought to myself, maybe I shouldn't open the door to just anyone. Next time I might not be so
