so I'm in no way, shape or form "woo" buuutttt just been sitting on side of my bed texting on my phone and my soundbar for TV (which I've had for 4 years with no issues) just decided to launch itself onto the floor, has hit my foot and cut it, picked it back up thinking how weird 🤷🤷 went back to my phone and a bottle of water, tube of face cream and a lip balm on top of my chest of drawers then launched themselves across the room, pretty freaked out by this point but still being rational in my head, picked phone back up carried on messaging back a friend, looked up to think what I was trying to type and felt a big tap /slap and literally saw my phone fly in the air and land other side of room, trying hard to think rationally but feeling pretty spooked right now
😭there's a rational reason for all this, yes???

You could get a local group of spiritualists to help you clear it. They are either non religious or attend their spiritualist church.

If you want to have a go yourself, there is a 'spell' on YourGhostStories by a member called Rook Dygin (if memory serves). It works really well. You sweep and sage and sweep and sage and then put salt at the door and window frames for a few days to keep it out. You can also demand it leaves as you want peace in your own home.

What if ghosts actually really like the smell of sage though, and this is all a scheme they've cooked up to save money on Glade Plug-ins in the afterlife?

The salt might be because they don't like snails.

There's a scientific explanation for everything. Everything seemed like magic/woo to us at one point.
Fuck knows what happened in this case. If you've managed to develop telekinesis, teach me your ways.

I'm atheist so anyone of the "cloth" or any faith is a no go😕😕

You don’t need to believe it, the ghost does

2JFDIYOLO · 09/02/2025 23:43

It will be entirely rational. Saw a weird video of a father telling his kid off, then two toys flipped themselves across the room.

Turned out as one of them stood on a floorboard it flexed, and flicked the toys over.

Babybaby2025 · 09/02/2025 23:42

No rational explanation.

All I can think of though is if it was a ghost, what a petty thing to do to throw lip balm and face cream accross the room

I've never understood why people mess around with (or suggest others should mess around with) ouija boards. They're either real/genuine, in which case why would you invite such trouble? Or they're a load of nonsense, in which case why would you bother? There's nothing to be gained either way.

She doesnt have to. Was a SUGGESTION 😂

Newbie8918 · 09/02/2025 23:41

Lip barm throwing mice is deffo more likely than an earth quake/sink hole/collapsed mine shaft.

You sound fairly sane, so can't be that!

Draw a circle of salt around your bed tonight....just to be on the safe side 🤣

L0bstersLass · 09/02/2025 23:40

HGV going past outside, or a sonic boom from RAF training.

Edited to add - I'm in north Wales and these are two things I've experienced and they led to things moving. Also have experienced an earth tremor but I think I was living in Cheshire when that happened.

ThisFluentBiscuit · 09/02/2025 23:34

I don't believe you. All those objects moving within a few minutes? You over-egged the pudding there! Would have been more believable if one object one day and another a couple of days later!

Calmomiletea · 09/02/2025 23:32

What distance did the cream etc move?

Tacsi · 09/02/2025 23:27

as a side note just to be fair and transparent I have absolutely no issue with people who do belive in ghosts or spirits or anything like that😍😍 if one of these believers could help me I'd be forever grateful🙏🙏🙏I do believe some ppl can, I do believe I can't

this!!! I absolutely know there is arational in there and not hallucinating or have MH issues like half on here are trying to say!! 😂😂😂I'm a grown adult, reasonably intelligent, quite smart, I don't believe in ghosts n all that crap... there's an intelligent reasonable explanation in there, somewhere!!

Tbh, if you genuinely had psychosis, you'd likely be saying the same thing, as most people lack insight into their psychosis!

But if nothing else odd is happening for you and family etc haven't raised concerns, chances are you threw it yourself 🤷 That's how oouija boards work, after all. The power of suggestion is very strong. People definitely move them themselves but think they haven't!

He heard his bedroom door open, and felt a weight as if someone had sat down on the foot end of the bed

Ive had the same , I think it's sleep paralysis.

ImDoneOnceAndForAll · 09/02/2025 22:58

Just ask them to leave out loud and they will hopefully listen

OR

Do an Ouija Board and ask what it wants

There will be a rational explanation. Perhaps with the phone lurching out your hand, your brain was already anticipating it, so told your hands to just do it unconsciously, in a way it didn't feel like it came from you, even though it was.

Ok then I'll go with my original thought - that you should see your GP. Your posts on this thread are kind of reinforcing that.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

OK "DR" ohmygollygoshgosh,👌👌👌😍😍😍😍😍😍

Well you've been given the advice to check your local FB group and your local news, to see if there's been any kind of event that's caused movement/vibration.

But rather than take it, you just gave a weird reply about being 'wacko'?

Is 'wacko' the same as attention seeking?

yes it is, I'm 100% attention seeking, you've got me😭😭😭really worked me right out, I'm sooooo embarrassed to be caught out red handed, absolutely fkin gutted, you my dear are THE most brightest spark ever on MN, you've got me hook line and sinker like an Aldi Fukin "Wacko" (fake take off rocky bar) I'm done 😭😭😭😭😭

My {ex} husband {we get on well now} said that as a young man in a shared house with a couple, they were sitting down to eat dinner after work, and a heavy tape cassette ghetto blaster type thing had come unplugged from the wall and was across the room on the floor- undamaged.

Like it had been thrown.

Other things had happened in that house, too.

One story that really creeped me out was my friend's husband in a rented house {Uni} heard someone come up the stairs of a terraced house they shared.

He was in bed, lights out.

He heard his bedroom door open, and felt a weight as if someone had sat down on the foot end of the bed.
He thought it was his mate mucking about, snapped on the side light and no one was there at all.

This has also happened to me (the bed ).

here on Wales??? I'm the only house if there was one 😂

I experienced an earthquake in Wales when I was little. Everything rattled it was frightening !

I didn't post soley for a laugh... it actually happened, the other poster just took one line out of context where I said I'd posted 1,for a laugh(cos I know what MN is like with this stuff) and 2,for advice

So, you were slapped, your mobile flew across the room l, plus the other odd happenings & you're still there. I'd be out of there like a shot. Aren't you terrified?
