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???

Something woo is the very last thing I'd consider but MN will respond with cries of exorcism and move out.

You say you were texting when it happened, was it a controversial text? Is there something afoot that the haunting is trying to warn you about?

Perhaps the haunting thinks the person you are texting is going to cause you some sort of harm?

Cantbelieveit888 · 09/02/2025 20:41

Who and what were you trying to text? Maybe they were trying to tell you something?!

freaky

It’s because of the OP in another post today not putting the huge old bible she found, back in its hiding space. Too late now.

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.

It’s happening before your eyes. What’s not to believe?

StMarie4me · 09/02/2025 20:39

Poltergeist energy. I witnessed the same in my brother's bedroom as a child. Suitcases flying round the room. Records being flung around.

TastelessMiserySand · 09/02/2025 20:38

Can you start filming the room with your phone and see if you capture anything else happening?

If it's been quiet for 15 years could the haunting be trying to alert your attention to something important maybe?

Have you left your hair straighteners on?

Hahaha, trying to think what I might have left on now🤔🤔😂

Is your (or a neighbour's) washing machine on, or something similar that might be causing a bit of vibration?

detached so I'd be surprised

I would simply take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

😂👌🏼

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!! 🤔

Well i can offer no rational explanation then. When weird things happen in my house, I talk to them out loud and ask them not to do things....but by that point my imagination is in full overdrive and don't sleep.....

Yes - there is a rational explanation for it and it's nothing 'supernatural' or 'paranormal'. It's just a strange but unexplained event - and you might never get to the bottom of it. It does sound very weird though, and slightly unsettling!

I got chills reading that... how long have you lived where you are now? Ever experienced anything like this before?

Ask if there’s anything you need to do, maybe get the scrabble letters out?
