Woman Finds Strange Eggs In Attic – When Expert Sees It, She Turns Pale

The next morning, Leah started going through Evelyn’s notebooks. Most were exactly what she expected. Her grandmother had recorded birds, weather, nesting dates, and changes in the garden. But the final notebook was different. Between ordinary entries were short notes that seemed to have nothing to do with birds.

“Van after midnight.” “Boxes through rear entrance.” “Someone upstairs again.” “Spare key?” Evelyn had written several dates beside vehicle registration numbers. In another place, she had noted hearing footsteps in the house after locking the doors. None of the entries clearly named a person. Leah read them several times, trying to understand what Evelyn had seen.

Leah showed the notebook to Hannah and the investigators. Their interest was immediate. They took photographs of every page. One of the registration numbers belonged to a vehicle that officers said they would trace. As she watched them leave with copies of the notes, Leah understood something important. Evelyn had not simply been nervous in her final months. She had been keeping track of something.
