It can happen: Brown blood can be old blood. Your body may have just a little bit more blood & tissue to extrude. Try not to fret.

Yes it may be normal: It is because uterus was not able to fully pass out the menstrual tissue during the periods and is expelling it now, a few days after the periods.It is normal if happens occasionally and the bleeding is small.But if the bleedind is so large that you have to use a pad, than you consult your gynecologist.

Perfectly: Dry brown blood is just old blood. It doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with your body at all. Some women have some brown blood prior to the start of their period, and at the end of their period. Nothing wrong at all.
