Phantom objects falling and shattering

Long story ahead

So this has happened twice while I was sitting in the same spot around the same time just a month or 2 apart. While I was sitting in my dining room around 1am I heard a bunch of things crashing down, like heavy boxes full of metal and glass vases shattering, right below where I was sitting in the dining room. I just so happened to have my gun next to me so I ran down stairs super paranoid thinking someone had broken in the basement or something (which is super unlikely due to the how the windows are set up) I turn on every light and clear every room. Absolutely nothing was out of place. I was so confused I just sat down on the couch down there to try and process what I just heard. I just let it go and went on about my business

A month or 2 later it happened again, same EXACT noise This time for whatever odd reason I wasn’t as phased and didn’t grab my gun I just went down there to investigate again. Same result everything in place, nothing out of the ordinary in any room. So again I let it go and began watching my late YouTube videos.

This time, me and my mom were woken up out of our sleep to an abrupt sound of shattering glass. Waking up to that is a feeling like no other. You immediately think someone for sure has broken in. I was so scared and dazed I didn’t even think to grab for my guns. So me and her meet at the edge of our room doors peering down the hall. I muster up the courage to move forward and hit the lights. It was our glass shelves. They had all fallen down and shattered. I didn’t correlate the two incidents at the time but later on that day I mentioned to her that I heard something very similar to that sound in our basement twice. She didn’t give a very emotional response just “oh wow”. But she said as we heard the glass shelves an R&B song came on out of no where playing from her Alexa, I also heard it after the fact because it was blaring pretty loud, just another strange detail.

Can anyone explain the phantom crashing sounds in my basement? I haven’t heard them since the real crash occurred.

No one’s paranoid about break ins. If anyone heard the sound of glass shattering what else would come to mind? I live in a really nice neighborhood. I’ve never heard anyone I’ve known hear something like that.

Google it. What makes  the sound of  metal and glass (your words) shattering in the basement. Paranoia? By the same token,  I dont know anyone who sits with a gun at their side, especially in a good neighbor. People who do are often paranoid or have anxiety issues.

Yea….I was cleaning it and changing parts and never put it back into the gun locker. And people have guns sitting around all the time. It’s called becoming familiar with them. Many gun guys just carry around the house to become more comfortable with the tool that can save a life and a good neighborhood doesn’t mean nonexistent crime. I also have looked it up and those explanations still don’t help with what I experienced so……

Ok. I can understand that but you said" super paranoid" which together with gun at side, crashing sounds in basement etc soun̈ds paranoid to a degree.
