I am Not "Woo" at all but this just happened

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 don't believe in ghosts, at least not the type that throws things across rooms, so I think it was either:

  • You are making this up on MN for entertainment purposes
  • A bad dream that seemed very realistic
  • An episode of psychosis

And my first port of call would be a doctor, not a priest.

It's much more likely to be an earthquake, minor tremor or sink hole thing.

I experienced a minor earthquake in Manchester once (around 2003ish) and it felt like being pushed

It's like MN is rational until somebody says "I'm not woo but..." and the sage and priest suggestions flood in or somebody offers "readings" and the thread fills up instantly with emotional pleas to "please do me".

You didn’t find an old bible in the loft of your house and then removed it did you?

If not, you’re either joking, under the influence of something, or in need of psychiatric evaluation

Orland0 · 09/02/2025 20:51

I think Casper’s sent a very clear message that he thinks you need to reduce your screen time 🤷‍♀️

Frostynoman · 09/02/2025 20:51

It clearly wants your attention!

Good grief there's some nonsense suggestions on this thread. Whatever is going on, whether there's a scientific explanation or not, no amount of sage, priests or prayer circles is going to make a tiny bit of difference.

Exactly.

But these threads seem to draw apparently grown adult MNetters like seagulls to a bag of chips 🙄

And almost every thread starts with "I'm not at all woo but..."

If there's been no earth tremor, distant explosion or anything similar then it's far more likely to be a mental health issue developing, than Ghostly Gary chucking lip balms around.

RitaFromTheRanch · 09/02/2025 20:49

Have you pissed off any ghosts?

I think you’ve become a super hero OP

otherwise.. subsidence? Sink hole? Dodgy floor boards? Maybe you should run.. or alternatively get a builder in to check for rot.

Weird though.

omg don't sink hole me!!!! I don't believe in ghosts n stuff but sink holes terryfy me😢

  1. Your soundbar launched itself onto the floor.
  2. A bottle of water, a tube of face cream and a lip balm launched themselves across the room.
  3. Your phone then 'literally flew in the air' and landed on the other side of the room.
  4. You felt a 'big tap/slap'.

I'd be looking at your local news and Facebook groups to see if anyone else had a similar experience with a vibration this huge.

If not, I think I'd book an appointment with my GP.

Edited

Exactly this. Things don't launch themselves. They might fall if they're on the edge.
And if you believe they launched themselves there's got to be 'something' doing it.
Get anybody willing to come in and ask it to leave.
My auntie did with me once when I went through something strange (also an atheist none believer btw!), and never had it had it again. I now have an open mind about what could be out there whatever it is. Not necessarily the dead is it. Nobody knows!

Girasoli · 09/02/2025 20:46

Sink hole under your house?

user2848502016 · 09/02/2025 20:45

Small earthquake? Subsidence? Wind? Landslide ? Big lorry/motorbike passing by ?

I can't say I'm much of a believer in the paranormal or supernatural but I'm stuck coming up with many logical or likely explanations for your experience. Maybe extremely localised earth tremors

jacksonlambsregulardisorder · 09/02/2025 20:44

Have you got any sage you can burn/waft about the place?

Have you seen the episode of breaking bad where they destroyed a laptop with incriminating evidence by driving by the police station in a truck with a ginormous magnet in the back.
Do you live near a police station?

Carbon monoxide poisoning?

Emmie765 · 09/02/2025 20:43

I absolutely believe in spirits, there is so much about the world we don't understand, so I see no reason why they couldn't remain here somehow. There was a really scary presence in our old house. When my dad died, it went away. Surely that's not a coincidence. Anyway, apart from me obviously being mad - some advice! Try talking out loud and asking what's wrong? Why do you need my attention? Can I help you? Even if you don't believe in the actual spirit, talking out loud can make you feel more in control and therefore safer! Fingers crossed your new friend pops next door instead 😂

Thirteenblackcat · 09/02/2025 20:43

Ermm very localised earthquake?!
