Woman Says She Noticed Her Shower Curtain Kept Moving — Then Found Out Someone Had Been Coming In While She Was Gone

A woman on Reddit said it started with something small that didn’t make sense. Every time she came home, her shower curtain looked slightly different. Not wide open or fully closed—just shifted enough that she noticed.

According to her post, she told herself it was nothing. Maybe it moved when the bathroom fan ran. Maybe she bumped it without realizing. It was easy to explain away at first.

But it kept happening.

She said the position was never exactly how she left it. Sometimes it was pulled a little farther closed, other times slightly open. It wasn’t random—it looked like someone had touched it.

That’s when she started paying attention to other things.

She noticed a towel she hadn’t used was damp. A bottle in the shower was turned the wrong way. Small details that, on their own, didn’t prove anything—but together started to feel like a pattern.

She decided to test it.

Before leaving for work, she took a photo of the bathroom exactly as it was—curtain, towels, everything. When she came home and compared it, the curtain had moved again.

That’s when she knew.

Someone had been inside.

Her first thought was maintenance or the landlord, but she hadn’t received any notice. No emails, no texts, nothing that would explain someone entering her apartment.

So she took it a step further.

She set up a small camera in her living space and left for the day.

When she checked the footage later, she said her stomach dropped.

The video showed someone entering her apartment while she was gone.

According to her post, it was someone with access—a person who used a key to unlock the door and walked inside like it was normal. They moved through the apartment, went into the bathroom, and spent time there before leaving.

She said that moment confirmed everything.

The curtain, the towel, the small changes—it all lined up.

When she confronted her landlord, she said he initially tried to explain it as routine access, but couldn’t give a clear reason for why someone would be in her bathroom specifically or why she hadn’t been notified.

The explanation didn’t hold up.

After that, she said she started documenting everything and looking into her options. She also made plans to leave as soon as possible because she no longer felt safe staying there.

By the end of her post, she said the part that stuck with her wasn’t just the camera footage—it was how long it had been happening before she caught it. What seemed like a small, harmless detail turned into proof that someone had been entering her home and moving through her space without her ever knowing.
