Why are Endermen walking around my house at day?
I don't mean that they walk IN the house.
After a long strip mining trip (day 18 IIRC, Normal Difficulty), I started building a new house, when suddenly.... 3 Endermen appeared far on the horizon, walking towards me.
It was noon, and it wasn't raining; I thought Endermen would teleport somewhere else because of the sun, but they kept walking/teleporting on my direction as if they were planning to kill me!
They walked past me *phew*, and went on forward until they reached the ocean, then they teleported back near my house (100-50 blocks away).
I'm wondering if this is because the game wants me to go to the End, or perhaps I may be near a dungeon?
I read the wiki, and it does not explain this behavior, and it didn't happen ever before 1.8

Endermen spawn at night, but they are unaffected by daylight. Their teleportation is much more active during the night, and if you attack them during the day, they will more likely teleport away from you than fight you.
Mobs only spawn near the player, so there's no real significance to them hanging around near you during the day.

How can I prevent Endermen from spawning in my house? Endermen hate water, so consider placing three lengths of water around your house. Make a bridge over the water so that you can get in and out. Also, use a glow stone inside your house instead of torches.Do Enderman come out during the day?

An Enderman will only attack players who look at his eyes or attacked him first. So just increase the volume of your game's sound while playing, so when an enderman teleports inside, you will instantly realize this from their special sound, and then make sure you don't look at them into their eyes.

Endermen don't die during the day, just water and the usual effects hurt them. You probably just got a really weird pathing on them, then when they went into the ocean they teleported to the nearest dry land that happened to be near your house
