I think I had a stalker, and whoever it was may have found me

So, the first incident happened about 2 years ago. At the time, I was living, with my family, on a five acre piece of property, literally right off the freeway. Like the back of our yard ended and the free way was about ten feet away from the back fence. Anyway, we lived there for about eight years, and for a while, nothing happened. So for context to this story, the house was at the front of the property, maybe forty feet from the road, not the freeway, but a back road. We had a small corral\shelter we had built right after moving there for my brother's two horses, however, at the time of this story, my brother had moved out and taken his horses with him. My mini per cow, Dexter, lived in the corral at this time. The corral was maybe 100 or 150 feet from the house (if this makes no sense, I'm sorry, I'm not good with distances). It was closer to the freeway than the house.

Anyway, one night, I had gotten my 3 month old Border Collie, and taken her with me up the field to the corral to feed my cow. Now I have pretty bad eye sight, and I wear glasses, but at the time, I had just started wearing them, and couldn't wear them long without getting a migraine, so I had left them in the house. Things far away from me were blurry.

We had five acre properties on both side of our property. To the south, a very nice family lived. To the north was an empty lot that switched owners a few times, but nothing was ever built there. While I was feeding the cow, I noticed something or someone standing on the property to the north, which no one owned at that time. I brushed it off at first, because there was a tree on that property not far from our fence, and I couldn't see well because I wasn't wearing my glasses. Anyway, I turned back to Dexter to throw another pitch fork of hay to him, and when I turned back around to get another pitch fork full, the object, which was black and blurry, had moved closer to the fence, to the point where it was maybe ten feet away from me, about three feet away from the fence, though still in the neighbors yard, and I could see the tree I had originally thought it was behind them, quite a ways.

I freaked out, because my eye sight was so bad, everything that far away was so blurry, I have no idea what it was, but I'm positive it was a human. I grabbed my dog and, because I didn't want whatever it was to know I had noticed it, pretended I was talking to my dog. I said, "Come on girl." And ran back down the field to the house. Once I reached the house, I looked back to see whatever it was had disappeared. This also happened right after sunset, so it was pretty dark.

I thought about this for HOURS, and eventually brushed it off as my imagination, and because I hadn't been wearing my glasses, I was able to eventually convince myself it was nothing. That only lasted for a couple days. This time it was during the day. I was out front this time, in our rose garden, playing with my cats. I heard a buzzing, which I immediately recognized as a drone. I knew this because a few of my cousins and friends had drones, and would fly them at our house to get cool views of the freeway.

I looked up and found the thing hovering right above me. When I noticed it, it flew away. However a few hours later when I was on the back lawn playing with my dog, it reappeared. Both of these times I was wearing my glasses, and can say for sure it was a small gray drone. Again, when I looked at it, it flew away.

Over the next few days, most of the time I was outside, I would hear the drone, see it, or just feel like I was being watched. I don't know how to explain that feeling, but it's like you can just feel eyes on you. I got so uncomfortable I would only go outside when I had too. I would also like to point out where ever I went away from home, nothing like this happened, no matter where I went. This continued the rest of the time we lived there. Also, my dog, who lived in the back yard, would randomly bark at things at night, though it could've been deer or coyotes. Another strange thing, was sometimes at night, I would hear taps or knocks on my bedroom window, but I never dared open them.

One of my brothers often saw the sillouette of a person wearing a ball cap walking past his room in the middle of the night. We had an 8 foot fence surrounding our yard to keep the deer and coyotes out, and an eight foot tall gate. This gate could only be opened by a fob, and it was hard to climb over. We didn't have a man gate, so it wasn't like just anyone could walk into our yard. We also lived in pretty much the middle of nowhere, with only a few neighbors.

Anyway, about a year later after the first strange occurance, we decided to move, as the house was a seven bedroom, and there were only my parents, me and my brother living there. At the time we moved in, our other siblings had lived with us, but had moved out over the eight years. We needed to downsize not only the home, but five acres was getting hard for us to take care of. So we moved to a small house in a pretty neighbor hood, with neighbors on every side, but behind us. We have a huge field behind us. Since we moved here, I have never felt watched or seen a drone. I mostly forgot about the weird things that had happened, until about a month ago. After we moved here we got a small inside dog, who sleeps with me, I still have my Border Collie and a husky mix, but the house is too small for them, and they are more guard dogs, and live outside.

Anyway, one night I opened my window, since I have no fan in my bedroom, and I was roasting. I opened the window a couple inches, then closed the blinds. While, I was scrolling on my phone, when suddenly my dog, who was curled up sleeping on the end of my bed, sits up, and looks at the window. My window is on the front of the house, facing the street. He stared at the closed blinds for a second, then growled. I was terrified. This dog was only 8 months old, and he had only growled playfully when I was playing tug of war with him. He continued to growl at the window, even after I'd told him to stop. He is a VERY obedient puppy.

I finally opened the blinds. There is a street light between ours and the neighbors yard, so I could see pretty good, and I couldn't see a thing. I closed the blinds, and laid back down. Not ten seconds later, he started growling again. I was so scared, I got up and checked again, but still couldn't see anything. I finally shut the window and locked it. When I laid back down, he curled up next to me and went to sleep as though nothing had happened. This happened AGAIN about a week later. Since then, I haven't opened my window at night.

Still, there is one more thing that happened, that may not be related, but is unexplainable. Me and mom have been renovating the front yard, since my brother and dad work, and before we moved into this house, it was untouched for eight months. Anyway, one day we pulled up some dead bushes, and they had been planted inside tomato cages. I have no Idea why. Most of the cages were twisted and unusable, all except one. Mom put it between the two giant pine trees in the front yard, since we were going to use it the next morning, and it was getting dark. The next morning, the tomato cage was on the front lawn, destroyed. I mean DESTROYED. Twisted in all manner of ways, and it was metal, meaning no animal could've done it.

I still have no explanation for any of these events. I have no idea if I have a stalker or not, but it's freaky asf. Any follow up questions and explanations are welcome.

EDIT: When we moved we told no one except the movers and close family where we were moving to this was because we had a few people that had a habit of showing up uninvited to our house.
