Mysterious Photos of Family Members During Sleep: User shares intriguing photos of family members taken while sleeping, with no explanation. Red light and crosses in room raise suspicions, but family is confident it wasn't an intruder. Suggestions include locking doors and windows as a precaution.
A user named OP is perplexed by mysterious photos taken of their family members while they were sleeping, including their mother, stepfather, and youngest sister. The photos were taken around 3 AM in April, and the area where they live is rural and quiet. OP finds the picture of their mother the most intriguing, as it appears to show someone taking a close-up photo of her while she was sleeping, with a red light in the room and what looks like two crosses on the wall. The family members have no explanation for these photos, and OP has doubts that any of them could have taken them due to the timing and the fact that all three photos were taken around the same time. The family is confident that it wasn't an intruder due to their five barking dogs. The suggestion is to lock all doors and windows as a precaution. The user also mentions that the pink light seen in the bedroom is not pink but red. The overall tone of the discussion is curious and puzzled, with participants offering suggestions and theories.
