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???

I'm anti catholic/anti priest tho(don't open that box) so can't do this 😂

@Tacsi It doesn't need to be a Catholic priest, any priest of any faith can bless a house!

I experienced similar 12 years ago in Cornwall, I was with my then 17 year old son looking at his uni options and we stayed there whilst he visited Plymouth Uni. We woke up at 3am to the sound of someone turning on the light switch in the bathroom, both assuming the sounds were the other one, we opened our bedroom doors which were facing each other across the hallway in this lodge, realising it was neither of us we decided to leave the lodge, on going to the car we walked through the kitchen, every cupboard and drawer was wide open, we turned off the lights and left for the long 4 hour drive back home, as we drove out the lights in the lodge all came on. I thought is possible it could be an intruder but it was a small lodge and I cant see where they could have hidden.

Later I mentioned this in my review of the lodge and the owner said, it was probably the resident ghost! I will never forget that night.

Has anything else happened since you first posted? Take your dog upstairs and keep it in the room with you. If the dog acts strange, barks at nothing, that will let you know if anything is there

Good idea to keep the dog with you.
Are there any other people in the house?

Oh that could just be a tease then ''Posting for a laugh''...

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

North Wales does have seismic activity. There's a map here, scroll down to below the list:
https://www.westweather.co.uk/earthquake
You could give the British Geological Survey a call tomorrow and ask for the Earthquake Seismology Team. Check this station map for the most recent data: https://www.earthquakes.bgs.ac.uk/data/home.html

Stating the obvious but you don't happen to have a cat? Mine loves chucking stuff on the floor.

Failing that I'd go outside with a torch and check for cracks and others signs of subsidence and sink holes.

I'm certain there is a rational explanation. Several options have been suggested. It may be one of those or something else. But objects do not launch themselves in the air for no reason. Either you were hallucinating or something physical (not spiritual) caused the objects to move.

Check around tomorrow the outside of your house. Check for cracks, depressions in the garden. My friend opposite lost her dining room floor, it fell into a stream which was there long before the houses were built. Happened to a few houses on that side of the road. Water does find a way.

Sabrinaspellman01 · 09/02/2025 22:07

Ooh OP I hope you're OK and not too spooked! I'll be awake probably the next few hours if you need someone to comment and make you feel less alone 😭🤣

MiniPumpkin · 09/02/2025 22:07

According to my dm.. if you don’t have a bible in the house then you are not safe.
Best get a bible op.
🤣
I never listened so I’m living in an unsafe house, no bible here …..

@Minimili your AirPod is in or under your bed - if it's not there anymore you've accidentally got it tangled with bedding or clothes. You can say you fell asleep with an AirPod in and then it got lost and blame it on a ghost, come on now.

don't have an air pod, I'm still stuck in ancient world of android, they won't let me go aghhhhhhh

I've had this happen to me. The way the items fly with force is completely unnatural so you know that something is very off when it happens! I've also had a phone do it where is has flown across the room from being on a table.
I was an atheist up until that point but I spoke to many people and the conclusion was to pray and also sprinkle salt around. It helped and didn't happen anymore but I also moved so don't know exactly what would have happened.
It really gives me the creeps when I think about it and have tried to think about possible scientific reasons to do with physics perhaps that I don't fully understand.

@Tacsi you sound great, and very grounded, please let us know if/ when you discover what it was but assuming it wasn't a ghost (it wasn't) it may be something actually harmful either externally or internally so be mindful of taking care pf yourself for the next few weeks.

ahhh thank you🙏definitely isn't a ghost!! might be hallucinations or MH issues like some ppl are insisting on here (it's not)😂😂 but I would like to find the logical reason behind it all, whilst I sit here nursing my cut foot😂😂😂😍

15 years, nope nothing at all before this, the elderly lady died here before we bought house, was told it was haunted, but I don't belive in all that!! 🤔

I bet you're changing your mind on that not believing in haunting etc!!

I'd have packed and gone by now!!😂😂

Well we do have slag heaps of slate, granite, limestone. Coal more towards Wrexham I think. Blasting perhaps. We do get rumbles in north west Wales.

Not woo either but had the weirdest thing happen to me also this week. Moved into a new house, invited my sister and niece over (5) to see it. Niece goes into dining room/makeshift playroom and starts screaming literally about the angry old lady in there. We calm her down, nothing more said.

then three days later. Friend comes with her little boy who’s 3 and he starts saying and crying while playing in there pointing at nothing about the lady and she has a sad face! 😬😬😬 it’s literally an empty dining room with some toys I’d set up for them! They’ve never met each other my niece and friends son! So now I’m scared to go in there 😂

I don't remember this ( thankfully ) but when my parents bought our house my mum bumped into the previous owners ( funnily enough all ended up being really good friends )

And the wife asked how we were all getting on, my mum said all was great aside from little nearlythere refuses to go in the bedroom, she says there's an angry old woman in the corner. Apparently the previous owner asked if it was the front bedroom ( it was ) and said her son had said the same thing when he lived there

It was a really old house, had a fire and a celler with a coal door thing AND was directly infront of a graveyard. We could see the top of the gravestones from the back bedroom window
