No, she said it WASN'T on the mailbox, she said it was inside the mailbox.
Out of Order...I looked at the buzzer system, it's really old fashioned, there seems to be no way for me to turn it off without some fanfare ...and I decided that it's better for me to know when someone's out there buzzing away at me than have them out there thinking they are buzzing away at me and me not know it cuz I broke it. So I have decided that I am not going to make a habit of answering the buzzer, revealing weather I am home or even live here, unless I am expecting to be buzzed. If something like that happens again, and I really want to find out what's happening I decided I'll sneak out the side alley door, around the front, and up behind them. I also don't trust my landlord as he has just shown up at the door to my apartment around 9 p.m. and knocked on it, even though he could have called me. That's creepy too!
AT&T told me hackers hacked my cell phone, so I got rid of it and got a home phone. The way people can use electronics to invade the lives of others really creeps me out and it's something we just don't think about enough, how our electronics are these little lifelines we unknowingly throw to people that should best be left drowning.

Ah. Then I think she does well to wait to see what happens; still, while informing landlord of possible trouble.
This apartment had been sitting vacant for several months before I moved in apparently, but yes, perhaps. It's sad that things can be easily explained, but due to past scary incidents, I can't always accept the easy answer and move on scare free.
Thanks guy, I'm going to try to have more logical thoughts instead of more fear based emotions.
P.S. My mailbox has a card affixed to it that says " Name Inside "
Is it possible your landlord is checking on you to see if you're ok? That the person buzzing you said something to him?
Did AT&T say when someone hacked your phone?
I discourage the idea of trying to sneak up on anyone. Stay inside where it's safe as long as you keep the door locked. It's not against the law for you to do that.
Sorry to hear about your troubles, Van, but I must agree with blunt. I don't think you want to be sneaking up on anyone. That just doesn't sound good. Does the landlord also own the building or is he just hired help? If you're feeling uncomfortable about him as well you could seek out the owner of the building (if possible) or talk with a neighbor you feel comfortable with. Good luck and keep in touch!
I started to type some responses to various points made by various posters who have responded, then I realised I need to take a deep breath, I've gotten myself going by acknowledging what creeps me out and letting it have space in my head. The truth is that I have received " unwanted attention " in the past, for some extended amount of time, and I now suffer post traumatic stress related to the incidents, so even talking about mystery calls or mystery buzzing, no matter how innocent it seems, just puts my mind back into this sort of place where it's happening ongoing, always, that pressure stress feeling in my chest of hyper vigilance.
I got myself all ramped up. That's my bad. I'm going to stop now. It's a bad place to be in. I should go read. It's always a good idea to take a good book to a bad place when you know you're going there.
Good day.

Koontz's The Bad Place is a good book.
Hi folks!
More creepy-outs---Nutria rats...they look like beavers with huge whiskers and a rats tail.
can't stand em. Fortunately, they do NOT live in Canada, where we have cute regular beavers. Also, just plain rats creep me out.

(Thanks Night Gallery) enough said! 
Finally, I have a great ghost story to tell about when we moved to our new house. The 'ghost' was the previous owner who had recently died. When we first viewed her home, all her stuff was here. She had been quite the equestrian. Riding boots, crops, etc. I believed to have captured a shade of her in the back yard when I took some happy snaps; one photo clearly shows the shape of a woman with a horsey looking beast beside her. Unfortunately, I lost those pix when my PC died some years back. After we moved in she was quite active. Shuffling footsteps on the stairs, my reading lamp turning on and off and one night, two huge bangs in a row--she obviously was NOT pleased at something! There were other minor incidents. She kept if up for a few months. I was afraid at first, but only a little. I'm not a stranger to such events, nor is my mum. At a friend's suggestion, I began talking to her or gently giving her hell, especially when the lamp went off and on (I was probably reading a SK book at the time haha).
Anne Louise eventually settled. I guess she was satisfied that a nice little family was taking care of her home. This is a true story. With hubs at work all the time and the kid finishing high school, I kind of miss her company.
peace xxooa

Today I was online and all of a sudden I had no internet connection. I went over and picked up the phone to call the internet provider and I had a busy signal, which made no sense. I tried to hang it up and pick it up fresh but my own line out was still busy. Then I tried once more and it was dead air on the other end. At that point, I had no phone out. After a few minutes the internet came back on but their was still no phone line out, which made no sense either. Finally the phone came back on. I was terrified and spooked and creeped and then I went back to watching the X Files.
My internet tapped out on me for a bit yesterday, and then back on.It was quick, but weird.
ok, ok, I'll let my fears ... I'm afraid of spiders ............ the first time I saw IT the first time I was shocked, yet not I recover !!
