Not sure but I do know they only close fully in this house if I do it!

We have someone in this house (DH ) who leaves all drawers., doors open. I can track his progress round the house. He denies it so I expect they do come open on their own, or the fairies do it

I have this problem in my bedroom with one of the bedside lockers and I am sure that something has fallen behind but I cannot take the drawer out fully to remove the offending item.

Hmmmn,... You have a ghost?

My filing cabinet drawers keep opening all by themselves.
I think they could be resting on a bit of uneven floor boards or we got a nosey ghostgrin

Have you been in my kitchen Kateykrunch? Seriously though DH oiled all the drawer runners, now I only have to walk into the kitchen and a drawer opens!

We have a chest of drawers that used to shut properly but now unless you are incredibly gentle and slow the two bottom drawers slide part the way out again. Most annoying.

BBbevan We have drawer opening ghost in our household, thought to be male and in his early 70s.

It's not mine is it?

Don't know - but I will go and check (passage of a minute or two) No, definitely mine, I recognised the sweater.

We have one that mysteriously opens in the utility room; it's the one with screwdrivers, spanners, batteries etc in it, handy for DH. I shut it every time I walk through and it opens all by itself again 10 minutes later.

Well we have someone in this house who wees and doesn't pull the chain. My husband says it's not him and I don't think the dog could manage to sit on the loo. So a weeing ghost maybe??

It is not just drawers but cupboards as well. But as DMiL used to say, at times, about her DS 'Born in a barn, if I didn't know better'. So I cannot complain that I wasn't warned.

We also have a cheese mouse who can open the fridge and a seal who splashes around in the bathroom every morning. I have never caught either of them but often thought I could hear them

I have a fridge that drinks milk, I keep finding empty bottles in it, mind you it is tee total and never touches the open bottle of white wine so I am grateful for that.
