Strange happenings in the bathroom!

We have a TV (not used, unplugged) it scared the life out of us, after it was switched off it would suddenly boom out with a few seconds of a programme!! Would Scare the S**t out of a burglar!!

I have a colour printer which tend to print out the document 24 hours later at a time of its choosing. I think it's to do with being wireless and going through the router. It was only a cheap printer!

@Petra No we’ve not tried communication, although I must say I’ve been tempted, but not quite brave enough yet, in case we get something affirmative !!

My husband died unexpectedly nearly four years ago and my only other ‘paranormal’ experience was a couple of days after he died - I was lying in bed one night, weeping and felt a ‘presence’ in the room. I felt the end of the bed move - the mattress depressed as though someone had sat down on it. I asked if it was him, got nothing back but still felt the presence. A few minutes later the bed moved again, just as though someone had moved off the mattress. To this day I can’t explain it but I like to think it was my husband trying to let me know he was there - perhaps trying to comfort me. I moved to my new home after meeting my partner - from the home I shared with my husband. I have wondered if it’s him, trying to let me know he’s looking after us.

Smart TV’s & PVR’s update themselves each night (usually at 2am. or 3am. I was unsettled until I realised this.

Have you tried communicating with your ghost?
I wish I had said something when I saw my first one. I knew who it was, it was my boyfriends late father.
The second one was a cat. That was odd.

I don’t have anything constructive to say other than that really made me chuckle!! We all know it’s just an object but then allow our minds to wander to these crazy ideas - I would be the same ?

When my youngest daughter was at high school, she brought home a 'smart' baby doll for the weekend. (I think it was a lesson on the reality of motherhood.)

It cried regularly (and loudly) when needing a feed or change.

After one sleepless night, she abandoned it on the landing, of course. At bedtime, I buried it deep inside the laundry basket, to muffle it's sound.

At 4 am I was roughly shaken awake by our family dog. He'd tipped over the basket, retrieved the 'baby' - and placed it on my pillow!

They are hypnopompic or hypnogogic auditory hallucinations.
Hypnopompic is when you are waking up; hypnogogic when you are falling asleep.
^It is sometimes called 'exploding head syndrome' tchshock!
They are surprisingly common.

Thanks for that, Fanny. "Exploding head syndrome" is me to a tee, I think, in every respect!

A few months after my husband died, I went to stay for a week with friends in Denmark. Arriving home I found the 42" tv lying on the floor - the stand had snapped and it had fallen about 2' catching the side of the table it was stood on. Nothing else was disturbed, no other evidence of a break in.

Also we had a set of keys we kept in the kitchen to locking the back door. Those disappeared too! My daughter told me that it was my husband who was expressing his disapproval of me going away on my own! Those keys are still missing 18 months later!

My children’s’ three furbies used to give me the screaming heebie jeebies on many an occasion. All I had to do was walk into the bedroom and they’d start chattering to each other ?

Was terrified once by sewing machine starting to sew all by itself. Summoned up courage to investigate and found a dressmaking pin had got inside foot control and was making contact ?

We moved here 12 months ago and were told by neighbours that the house is supposedly haunted. Pretty much renovated the hole house since, with no sign of any ‘activity’ up to abiotic three weeks ago. Since then two TVs have turned on by themselves, including the sky boxes, the remote for one of which was checked in case it had been knocked by accident - that particular tv is set up in our dining room and seldom used. We subsequently found that the batteries in the remote had leaked and the remote was useless. We were sitting in the kitchen one morning last week and the door of the microwave flew open for no reason - went upstairs shortly afterwards and the duvet on the bed I had made before going downstairs was on the floor. In the last couple of days both my partner and myself have smelled a waft of perfume, like someone is walking through the house. Strangely enough, although it’s a bit creepy, neither of us can honestly say we’re scared - it just feels as though someone is trying to make us aware that they’re here. Haven’t really told anyone about it until posting here ass I’m aware of how it sounds !!

Have you watched the TV programme 'Ghosts'? Worth a look, if not...very funny and it sounds right up your street!

I have a smart TV that randomly turns itself off in the middle of a programme but, more scarily, randomly turns itself on for no apparent reason at all hours of the day and night. I now turn it off at the wall every night. From reading the comments, this seems to be a common problem.

I've switched Alexa off before going to bed - gone through the usual routines of wishing her goodnight then listened to her response - only to be woken up in the middle of the night by her continuing to play what I'd previously been listening to./

Had I yelled her name with instructions to continue playing it in my sleep?

My bedroom TV also turns itself on in the middle of the night. We make sure the plug is pulled out now.

Did anyone else see the report of short electrical outages in Scotland that happened every evening around the same time? No electrical fault, a murmuration of starlings landing and taking off from the wires caused them to touch and short out briefly.

Our 'Alexa' sometimes responds to something we've said thinking it was an instruction for her. Her strange voice coming from nowhere always makes me jump. We don't use it much so she's probably feeling neglected!

He looks more sad than sinister.

I was having problems yesterday with a haunted Christmas tree table.

Just before Christmas, I found the dog trying to abseil off the sofa onto it, and couldn't understand why. I later found half a dog biscuit on it. The dog does nothing with his biscuits except eat them.

So either I opened the sideboard door at the other side of the room, stepped over the dog who turns cartwheels at the thought of a biscuit, and placed it carefully under the tiny tree OR it transported itself there unaided.
I found I preferred the latter option to the thought of me losing my mind/memory.

Then yesterday morning as I finished breakfast, I thought I'd better turn the tree lights on. I found them already on.
So either I clicked through all 8 settings on the battery pack until I came to the one I like, or the same tree/table that attracts dog biscuits to itself had turned on its own lights.
Again, I found I preferred the spooky option to the thought of lapses in my memory.

Not to be cast down today, I made a resolution to be very aware of my movements near the tree so that I didn't forget. I checked the lights were off when I pulled the curtains back, and went for a shower. When I came back, the lights were on.

All I can think is that the battery pack which has a timer to turn the lights off after many hours also times itself to come back on again.

So, I'm not losing my memory.
The treelights are not haunted - but maybe the tree is hungry for dog biscuits though. ??

Never forget the fundamental tenet of resistentialism: les choses sont contre nous. Things are against us!

In our bedroom is an old cupboard (which used to house an emmersion heater). Amongst other things, it is now home to the youngest dgd's toys.
It was quite creepy when one of the musical toys suddenly started singing Russian in the early hours of the morning!

Back in the days when we lived on a boat, many moons ago, we had a TV that started randomly switching itself on and off. Then one day, it started switching channels on its own too.
It was only when we heard giggling from the towpath that we realised that our young sons were out there by the windows with the remote control!

Friend could not get his new wireless doorbell to work . He took it over the road to A. who thought he had sorted the problem . Thing was every time A.'s doorbell was rung it sounded in my neighbours house as well .

Years ago we bought our blind daughter a talking birthday card that sang Happy Birthday when you opened it. Gradually it went very, very out of tune and then started to sing even when closed. It began to drive us all potty. We tore it up and it still sang....... We put it out with the rubbish and it was still singing disconsolately when the bin men came. For all I know it's in landfill somewhere to this day groaning away! But we had such a giggle at it!

cathymum hmm, he’s definitely not a cheery FC, he could be seen as a bit creepy!
