whoa thats freaky but how does it unpause that sounds likea huge glitch to me.

The game does not unpause on its own, but people can accidentally unpause it without realizing they've done that.

Really? I left it for a few minutes on pause. When I came back, everyone was in a different position.

That's not the same thing. The game does not store the positions of the villagers when it's paused. If you leave the game on pause for awhile and then either change screens or unpause it, the villagers will change positions, but everything else will be unchanged.

Oh, thanks!
