Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

I live in Murietta California which is in Riverside Co. in Southern California. I have lived here for 3 years now and have had many experiences here. It is a new house and my husband and I are the first owners.

It was last year in the spring, I was alone because my husband was overseas in Iraq. My friend came over and we hung out for awhile and chatted it was around 11:00 pm when she left and I made sure everything was locked up and I went to bed. Well about 1:30 am it was as if something woke me up and somehow was telling me to go look out of the front window. This is a pretty big house and I didn’t want to get up and walk all the way through to the formal living room which faces the front yard, plus I thought maybe it was just my imagination.

I attempted to go back to sleep and it was as if something I could not see was prompting me relentlessly to go look out the front window. Finally I decided to get up and go check it out. On the way there I have to pass the hall where the door that goes out to the garage is to the right. As I passed it I noticed it was ajar… funny cause I am very vigilant about locking the house up and I am positive I made sure it was locked after my friend left. So I opened it and peeked into the garage and not only was the other door that leads to the backyard wide open but the ceiling fan we have in the garage was on. As you can imagine I was freaked out by this time plus it was so foggy it was unbelievable.

I went and closed that door and locked it (again), turned off the fan and went back inside. I went to finally go look out the front window and it suddenly struck me whatever woke me up wanted me to see the doors open. Nothing to do with the front window at all. At first I was thinking that it was a good entity that actually could have saved me from someone who could have come in and killed me but some people I have told this to have said that the same thing that woke me up is the same thing that opened the doors and turned the ceiling fan on. I have mixed feelings… any thoughts?
