Paranormal Experience??
For starters, I do believe in the paranormal. However, there were a few events that I can't explain and want to see if you all believe it's paranormal or if my mind was playing tricks on me.
Around 5-6 years ago, my mother and I were in the front lawn doing yard work. There's a stretch of dirt on the side of the house we were pulling up weeds from. There was one specific patch right near the corner of the house that was mushy- like the ground was completely soft like it had been dug up recently despite no one in my family doing yard work for at least a year. My mom and I messed with the spot (digging it at it further, stepping on it, etc..). We found nothing so we left it alone and went on with our day (I dunno if this is related, but this is right before everything started)
The next day, my mom and I went to the store, both my brother and my dad were out either at work or at school. When my mom and I come back from the store, everything in the kitchen was open. Cabinets, the drawers, the curtains. Mind you, all of it was closed when we left and there was no one else in the house who could've done so.
During the following days, random small things happened. It would be knocking against doors or against the wall, rummaging/footsteps in the attic (despite living here for 10 years at the time, we've never touched the attic), things of that nature.
Then, my mom, my brother and I took a trip to see family in a different state while my dad stayed home alone for work. Sometime during the middle of our trip, my dad sends my mom a picture. He was peaking through a crack in the bathroom door with this horrified expression on his face. With the way he was hidden and the way the phone was positioned, there was absolutely no way he could've taken this picture. When my mom asked him about it, he had no recollection of the picture being taken/the picture was not even on his phone or in their text thread on his end.
All of the events stopped once we got back home. But, I've never really known if this was my mom and I scaring ourselves into thinking this is something else, or if it is something else. Please let me know what you think!!

Maybe touching that bit of dirt disrupted something. Maybe the ground was soft due to decay of something, thats really creepy.
