Anyone ever had weird stuff go on in their house?

Very odd.

I had a white mouse materialise on a kitchen surface once though.

Wait, that sounds weird.

So I lived with late DP in a big shared house including my young adult sons. (Tres Bohemuan and creative lol) One of them kept reptiles so there was always a stock of frozen white mice tucked hygienically stored in the freezer.

It was a galley kitchen and I was doing a deep clean. I'd been in there all afternoon and one or two people had popped in for drinks etc but only for a few minutes.

We had two fridge freezers so in order to deep clean one, I transferred the contents of one freezer into another. I distinctly remember there were five white mice still in their little body bags.

I popped upstairs for something, and Reptile Boy followed me up to ask why I'd left an unwrapped dead white mouse defrosting on the counter as it was unhygienic, it wasn't snake feeding time and they should be defrosted in the fridge until ready to come out to get to edible temperature as it was summer - I got quite a lecture!

I looked at him as though he had two heads, and said I'd done no such thing as I never fed his reptiles and Eeew - corpse on kitchen counter. So we both went downstairs and sure enough cold stiff critter is laid out on the surface I'd bleached not five minutes before. We then counted the mice in the freezer and there were still five. I hadn't miscounted and he kept close track of numbers anyway.

We did have cats but not with opposable thumbs and it wasn't a fresh wild kill, it was a frozen mouse for snake consumption.

We have never been able to explain that one... .

Oh and once there were footsteps in my garden the snow. But the gate was locked and they didn't come from the back door (or gate). That freaked me out.

I came home to find my jewellery all over my bed once. Thought we'd been burgled but we hadn't. Came to the conclusion I must have been sleepwalking and just hadn't noticed it that morning.

Also woke up a few times to find the bedroom curtains open. Asked my husband why they were open and apparently I'd got up and done it in the night. I must have been sleep walking again.

Today I went outside to find my pond fountain perfectly balanced on the edge of the pond. It's not unusual for it to get knocked over by mr frog or the cats who drink out of it, but perfectly balanced right way up on the raised edge of the pond, odd.

Middle of the night during lockdown my dog went a bit berserk, woofing up a storm. Very very unusual for him and a bit scary for me.
Next morning, there was a bottle of water (not a brand I’d ever heard of) on the sink in the downstairs wc. Just baffling - it just appeared. No visitors due to lockdown and no sign of anyone entering the house in the night.

• your mum brought the scourer over to clean pans she had noticed needed scouring
• the bread is in the utility cupboard/under the sink/somewhere random/fridge crisper drawer under the apples; you or your mum placed it there absent mindedly whilst distracted by something

I’d get a camera in case though.

Carbon monoxide was my first thought too.

Read this if you haven’t already.

I know you say your house is alarmed, but if someone was in the attic, couldn't they access the alarm to switch it off before getting to the kitchen?

Pls do go on...

My first thought would be you've got someone living in your attic. It happens 🤷‍♀️

One christmas, when I was about 15, the leftover christmas turkey went missing. We had our christmas lunch, and when mum went to get the leftovers out of the fridge for our evening supper, it had gone and their was a huge gap in the middle of shelf where it had been. Our front door had an automatic lock at the time, and the windows were all closed and locked. It had been a quiet christmas, just mum, dad and me, so not many culprits. It was so strange, and we ended up going through the bins in case it had been thrown out. We wouldn't have eaten it, but just wanted to know what had happened to it. We never found it. It caused a huge argument, because my dad thought I'd done something with it (I hadn't) and my mum stuck up for me. We still wonder about the fate of the leftover turkey 25 years later.

Demonic possession obvs.

Could it have been your mum? Does she know your alarm code?
Call the alarm engineers and check their log

I lost my iPad the other day- looked everywhere- came downstairs and it was sitting where I usually sit on the couch ! No one else in

Carbon monoxide leak? Although you would be having a lot of physical symptoms besides memory loss.

Any domestic animals? Cats can bring the weirdest things, and a dog with a good appetite could make a loaf of bread dissappear (bag and all).

Just today I had to leave in a hurry and it bugged me my bed was unmade and the bedroom curtains closed. I came back walked into my room and the bed was perfectly made and the curtains open

There is only me here at the moment as my other half is working away and kids away on holiday!

I'd set up a camera somewhere in the kitchen. This would really creep me out! Check the loft, just in case 😳 does anyone else have a key to your house?

You've got the borrowers!

Can you put a temporary camera in the kitchen?? I think someone is living in your loft too and has seen you enter the alarm code so they know how to turn it off??!!

Did your mum bring the scourer when she delivered the sourdough?

Do you have a pet? One of my dogs is a food thief, so that could explain the bread disappearing.

A cat might have brought in the scourer?

Urban foxes?

Weird!

My hall, stairs and landing have a ghost. DH has just seen him tonight, actually.

He’s harmless enough.

I have had two things vanish recently. And I mean vanish. They were there, then they weren't.

The most recent one was a lanyard I wear when I go into the office. I carried my mug of tea through, collected the lanyard off the side and put in on when I sat down to drink my tea. I stood up 10 mins later, and my ID card fell to the floor. I assumed it had fallen out the plastic holder. I went to put the ID card back in the plastic holder, and it wasn't there. Just the metal clip at the end of the lanyard.

I checked in the chair, round the chair, under the chair. Nope! Not found it since.

If the plastic holder had dropped off the lanyard previously, then the ID card couldn't have fallen to my feet, as the ID card cant just hang at the end of the lanyard, it needs to be in the plastic holder.

It's a mystery.

Phrogging it's called. On YouTube.
