Wtf?
Ok . . . I walk into my house, and it smells like someone had been cooking . . . actually, it smells Italian, spicy, rich and full bodied . . .
Which is weird because no one has been in the place since I left this morning. Nothing in the kitchen has been touched or used . . .
But the smell is thick!
Culinary Poltergeists?

Well it is October and growing close to all hallowes eve... As each day passes the vail between this world and the next grows thinner and thinner and thinner. Til halloween night when.... BOO! 
On a serious note, how far away are your neighbors and where are thier kitchen(s) compared to your house? Which way was the wind blowing.. etc. etc. Until you eliminate all reasonable possabilities or you see a full body apperition or there is a meal sitting on your table. Then I wouldnt worry about it. Actually if there is a meal sitting on your table, then thank them and eat it. Then send them to my house!

If it continues then call T.A.P.S. to let Jason and Grant debunk it.

Do you live in an apartment?
The last apartment my wife and I lived in we had these Indians who lived in the unit below us and they'd cook this food that was so strong smelling that a hundred scented candles could never cover it up! It would drive me to the brink of INSANITY to come home from a business trip and have my apartment smelling like a G-damned Indian restaurant!
The worst part about it was that the bastards would cook at oddball hours of the night -- I'd literally be awoken from a deep sleep at 3:00 AM by the smell of their god-awful food!
I sure don't miss those days!

About 25 years ago, I lived next to a Filipino couple (in an apartment) and you talk about wild smelling food, it was so pungent it gave me a headache and made me dizzy, burned the eyes, nose and throat . . . and this was from next door!!!
As for this smell, mystery solved . . . someone was in the house and had prepared food brought to the house (they took it with them when they left, but the smell remained).

Farts so powerful, the smell remains for hours . . . .
No, this smelled like really good Italian food, my farts smell so bad they can cause paint to peel, kill small children and people with respiratory problems, and are classified as a lethal gas by the D.O.D.
Besides, the real answer is in the post above.

In my apartment complex back when I lived off Haverwood in N. Dallas, my neighbor used to come down from her apartment saying she could smeel oour food- and how good it smelled, etc...
If you're not in an apartment- I'd be curcious as to how the smells of cooked food is permeating your walls...

No, no, no.
Someone who works for me was in the house.
While they were there, they ordered Italian food delivered.
The food was delivered and sat in the delivery bags in the kitchens (they did not cook in the house and clean up afterward) While the food sat there, the place filled up with the smell of really good Italian food . . .
They left, took the food with them (they did not eat in the house) . . . but, even though the food was gone, the smell remained.
It's not like strange people broke into the house and cooked and cleaned up and then left . . . nothing so dramatic.
