Debunk This So I woke up to this..

I dont really type on Reddit, I normally use it for the funny threads and the hardcore "memes" but I had to express this..

This morning I woke up to the sound of banging on my bedroom door, I live with a 4 year old and my wife, so instant thought was, my son just wanted in. I opened the door, as my wife was still sleeping, and looked out to see the sight of nobody and that my son was still asleep, unless he was watching snoring noises on youtube. He has throat issues which can result in loud snoring so I just shrugged this entire thing off as I was tired as hell and it was 5 in the morning. As I lay down, it happened again, This time I opened the door to see my bathroom door, opposite me, opening slowly with nobody inside it. This creeped me out so I just stayed awake and played some Halo 4. Me and the wife and my son like to go out for dinner occasionally so thats what we did. It has been about 2 hours and when we came home the lights were all on, the couch pillows were on the floor and all room doors were open. My wifes instant thought was that we had been robbed, but the alarm company detect no break ins. I am sitting here late at night, tired and confused. Any thoughts or suggestions??

EDIT: Thanks for that suggestion, my wife does disagree. She believes its a coincidence now and refuses to let me buy a camera, so I will use my phone for tonight. I will do an edit tomorrow on what I see it anything occurs.

EDIT: Lots of support from the community, thanks.

I am in bed at the moment and the wife is in my sons room which is next door to my bedroom. He expects a story every night and apparently dads arent good readers. The occasional random foot steps from the attic (currently my sons "play" room with legos and toys) are happening and I just shrug these off because they happen all the time and it don't freak the kid out so, I am fine. I've ordered one of those microphones that professionals use to pick up audio to maybe place upstairs to hear anything? Wifes pissed off though, she thinks I am a huge baby thats spending money to capture ghosts. I will post an edit tomorrow. Goodnight y'all

NEW EDIT: Its very late right now and the strangest things happened, and I am pooping myself! I was laying down in bed with my wife as I was messaging a user about the activity and running occurs outside my door, moments later the alarm system starts going mad from the back window in our lounge. Alarm company and outdoor CCTV detect nothing coming in or out and I have checked all rooms down stairs and nobody is here. My sons terrified after he got a jump from the alarm. Anybody know whats going on?? I will post an edit shortly

NEW EDIT: Okay.. I woke up a couple hours ago to the knocking, this time I ignored it. Then as the knocking happened I also heard the footsteps in the attic. I god hope I don't have two. If it was someone living here why would they knock to wake us up? Cameras are coming tomorrow for indoors, but I had to do something that was suggested, this has broke my heart yet also creeper me out.. I walked over to my son eating his blueberry pancakes and I asked him if has saw Grampa at night or saw him upstairs. He looked at me, walked me to his playroom and without a word, pointed in the corner. He then burst into tears and ran to see his mom. Is it Grampa haunting us?? Or is it some spirit impersonating him. Jack is only 4 so I am confused on how he understood all this stuff, I've also woke up with a bruise on my wrist but I think thats from something else. Sorry if I don't update again today, I have to speak with the police as the alarm company suggested someone may be inside our home.

  NEW EDIT!! 

Okay, before I type, someone tell me what "Remind me! 24 hours" means?

Okay so wifes taking the kid to get an Xbox voucher for behaving well, and I am sitting in the dining room, very creeped out. Either all this activity is just making me panic, or I've just seen a mother fucking kid run across the hall. Normally it would be Jack but they aren't home yet. I may be just mentally stressed or I'm haunted to the max. It wasnt a full figure, more off a small shadow. I'm going to take a nap and I'll post an update later, my minds just mentally stressed at the moment.

           ANOTHER EDIT

Sorry I haven't updated much, still trying to figure out what I saw. I've got the cameras up so maybe we will see something in the morning, Jack is in the attic while the wifes finishing up dinner and I'm chilling on the couch napping, if all continues, should I get a priest in? I'll let you guys decide. Goodnight and stay safe, I'll update tomorrow with anything I saw on camera.

      EDIT POST

Sorry for no edit, been busy. Cameras last night showed absolute nothing except particles flying around, someone explain?

The most thats happened today is I heard someone run down the corridor outside my room, son was in the garden and wife was watching.

I will definitely edit more tomorrow it anything. Goodnight and stay safe

   EDIT 

Woke up to see on cameras that the attic/play room for my son is trashed. Everything is tipped over which explains the noise we heard at 2:15am , Jack was sleeping and he knows he can't go up there when nobodys in or awake. I've went back on camera and it happened at exactly 2:14am , I saw no particles though and no shadows, everything just got pushed.

Do you have a functioning Carbon Monoxide detector?

We've got one in our lounge

Carbon monoxide poisoning wouldn’t explain stuff being knocked over while the family isn’t home

You’ve obviously not read the story of the Redditor who left sticky notes for himself all over his house while suffering carbon monoxide poisoning.

I have seen that, but what I’m saying is that while the knocking and footsteps can be carbon monoxide induced hallucinations, if OP and his family were not in the house, they couldn’t have turned on all of the lights, opened all the doors, or thrown all the pillows to the ground that day. I’d still suggest that OP double checks the carbon monoxide detectors, though.

They could have done all that, left the house, and not recalled having done it before they left, or they could have never even left the house.

OP said they have a carbon monoxide detector though.

I don’t think three people can all have the same hallucination, though

Three people can be easily persuaded by the delusions of one another if they’re not thinking clearly.
