| ***Describe Your Mysterious Neighbor!*** I have a new neighbor who is mysterious and puzzling. The couple who lived there moved out, the house was sold again, virtually gutted and workmen buzzed about there for months and months. Even the driveway was re-done. Finally, a brand new car appeared in the drive way one night and was still there the next morning. Next day or so came a huge moving van and box van and by the next day the front parkway was full of huge boxes of: 3 huge flatscreen TV boxes - 1 60" Panasonic LED LCD, 2 55" Sony LED LCD, refrigerator box(never have seen one before) and new furniture boxes for wingback chairs, lamps and some baroque-named desk! Rows of huge boxes. Lights were on that night and the car in the drive. For the next several days, no car, no lights, draperies closed and the huge boxes remained for three days until the city finally picked them up. Since then, a car is in the drive 2 - 3 nights a week and lights are on those evenings but I never see anyone. The rest of the time the house is seemingly abandoned, windows and draperies closed, no lights and no cars about. No visitors ever that I've seen. Now there is a single pink toy babydoll stroller in the yard near the driveway. Never have seen a child but I did see the young lady the day the moving van came. She was taking some things from the trunk of the car so I guess she is the new owner. Her lawn is done once a week by a lawn service and the property immaculate. Normally, I don't notice my neighbors all that much but this has me puzzled. What in the world could be going on with my mysterious new neighbor? Where the heck could she be? ***Do you all have a mysterious neighbor you just wonder about???***

| Hmm at first I was thinking maybe someone bought it to flip it and sell or rent it out. But being that the kids stuff is there, idk. Maybe she travels a lot for work

| I can't believe you started a thread about this because I have a strange neighbor that is driving me crazy. He is a doctor from another nationality. He has a wife and little daughter but the wife doesn't drive so a taxi comes to pick her and the little girl up and take to pre school I presume. Now that may not sound too weird to some people that live in a city but not in Decatur, IL in the country. When he comes home he drives into the garage and puts the garage door down before the car even gets into the garage. The kicker was last night we had a severe storm warning, bad lightning everywhere, wind gusts over 35 mph and the sky just black. What do I see.....the doc, his wife and little daughter walking down the road away from their house. You could see the storm about 1/4 mile away and coming fast. It was so bad we went in the basement. Don't know what happened to them but I guess they are OK. They also like to walk but they don't come out of the house until 9 or 10 at night. My husband teases me and says they are hiding from me watching them. I know I sound like a nosey neighbor..........but...... their house sits right across the street from our house and our office window looks out directly at their house. OK, I'm a nosey neighbor!!!!!

My new neighbor is right across the street from my house, too, so every time I get the mail, take Tibbe for a walk, go out the front to get in the truck or for anything or even turn on the lamps in the living room evenings, I see that mostly abandoned house and wonder what the heck.........

The first thing that came to my mind was he doesn't know what a storm is because they moved here last year and we never had any storms last year....... heck, we didn't even have any rain last year. I wanted to yell at him to get back in his house because a storm was coming but he wouldn't have heard me because of the wind blowing so hard. Good luck figuring out your neighbor. If I get mine figured out I'll come and help you figure yours out.

| I think there was a country song a few years ago about "No one knows what goes on behind closed doors". You may be better off not knowing what the story is. Nothing surprises me about people any more.

| haha. You are probably right! Let us know how your odd neighbors do when they've been around a little longer!

| Oh my gosh, the people across the street from me. They are SO bizarre! Well the woman is ok, but the man is WEIRD. They have an immaculate property also, but leave this old broken down RV parked on their property in front of their house (totally destroying our view) and never move it! We keep hoping someone will hit it or that the hurricane last year would destroy it (and nothing else) LOL But nope, it's been parked there for probably 10 years not moving once. anyways.... the only time we see the man (who we heard is a dog trainer) is when he's doing agility with his 3 Border Collies on the front lawn... Other than that, he gets in his car in the garage, gets out in the garage. He mows the lawn at night but the whole house is pitch black, you can't even tell there is a house there at night, but the lawn mower will be going in the backyard or something. He's definitely odd. The wife seems ok, a little odd, but she'll at least say Hi or pet my dogs when we are out at the same time as her.

| got to laugh at you folks! My neighbour is weird but we just pretend she doesnt exist. She is a real odd ball. She uses different coloured feather dusters to chase away the birds who she claims we feed so they can pooh on her washing! |

| Yikes.. I don’t really have any creepy neighbor’s. I do remember when I was a kid one of our neighbor’s across the street was an old lady- Her yard had all these trees, so my brother and I would play in her yard. She also had a drinking fountain on her front yard LOL ( I know random) we would always drink from it. Then one day my brother decides to play a trick on me and tell me she poisioned the water and I was going to die in a hour! I ran home crying to my Mom…. LOL
