When TikToker Kelsey (@kperryy) and her family first moved into their house, it was a total dump. The property looked like a junkyard. They worked hard to clean it up. Now, they have lived there for five years.

But after only six months of living there, something strange happened. Kelsey was giving her kids a bath in the hallway bathroom when she heard the dogs start barking.

Her husband worked out of town, and he would come home later in the evening. Every time he pulled into the driveway, their dogs barked and ran to the back door to greet him.

So, Kelsey thought her dogs were barking, as they usually did, to announce her husband's arrival. Normally, her husband texted her when he was on the way home, but this time, he didn't. Still, she assumed that it was him because it was around the time when he would be home.

The dogs came running past the bathroom to the back door. Kelsey heard them jumping around as the back door opened. Then, she heard them settle down as the back door closed. However, no one came inside the house.

"Initially, I didn't think it was weird," said Kelsey. "I just thought maybe he forgot something in his truck, and he was going back out."

"My dogs walked right past and back to the living room. Well, a few minutes go by, and he never comes in. I just thought it was weird."

When she checked her husband's location on her phone, she saw that he was still at work. She got the kids out of the bath, walked to the front of the house, and looked around.

No one was there, so she started freaking out. She called her husband to confirm his location. He told her that he was on the way home.

Kelsey then called her dad and asked him to come over and check out the house. She also thought that the neighbors might be messing with her because they've had some issues in the past, but nobody was there.

Later, she told her very spiritual grandma about the incident. Her grandma investigated the property and told her that there was a man living in the farmhouse on their property.

"He used to live there with his kids, and he's passed away," said Kelsey. "Doesn't realize he's passed away, or he didn't at the time. He saw our kids playing out in the yard and was just curious because they're kids, and he had kids there."

"So that's why he was at my house. He came and opened my back door. It was him doing that."

Kelsey's grandma helped the man move on, and nothing like that ever happened again.
