At first, the footage showed nothing suspicious\u2014her reading a book, watching TV, tidying up. But then came the moment I had been waiting for.<\/p>\n
One evening, while I was in the shower and my husband was out, she quietly entered our bedroom. She opened my jewelry box, took a necklace, held it to her neck in the mirror\u2014then snapped it in half and placed it back as if nothing had happened.<\/p>\n
Another clip showed her entering the kitchen in the middle of the night, pouring salt into the sugar jar, and swapping labels on spice containers.<\/p>\n
But the worst came three nights later.<\/p>\n
In the grainy black-and-white image, she stood silently in our bedroom doorway while we slept. Still. Just\u2026 watching us. For nearly five minutes. Then she bent down, picked up a framed photo of me and my husband from the nightstand, and whispered something.<\/p>\n
When I enhanced the audio, I could barely make it out:<\/p>\n
\u2014 He was mine before he was yours\u2026 and he\u2019ll be mine again.<\/p>\n
I froze.<\/p>\n
I showed the footage to my husband the next day, expecting excuses. But he turned pale. Speechless.<\/p>\n
That evening, he asked his mother to leave. She didn\u2019t resist\u2014she just smiled, like she knew something we didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
She moved out that week.<\/p>\n
But I still lock the bedroom door at night. And sometimes, when the house is quiet\u2026 I still feel like someone\u2019s watching.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
