I keep having similar things happen and I’m not woo at all either.
I live in a very very old house and when my DP moved in he kept mentioning things suddenly falling over or falling off things that had never moved before. I kept telling him it was a load of nonsense and that he just believed the people who said the house must be haunted as it’s so old and he was now looking for signs.
We were sitting watching tv the other night and the remote control was on the bedside table right in the middle, the remote suddenly moved like it was being pushed and fell on the floor quite a distance from the table.
There have been a few things like this happen but more annoyingly things also go missing. I once fell asleep with my AirPods in, I had an audio book on timer and fell asleep in the first 5 minutes, I woke up when it went off only 30 minutes later and DP was still awake reading and swore I had hardly moved. One AirPod was missing and we tore the house apart looking for it but never found it. I was convinced DP had moved it at first but he helped look for it for days and would have preferred to fess up if it was a joke rather then spend that much time searching.
I took my ring off to wash up and it was never seen again, there have also been many other things but they were the weirdest as they disappeared so quickly never to be seen again.
We live in a very remote area, the house is surrounded by woodland and you have to go down an unlit country road to get to it. I was once walking home (which I hate and try to avoid) and was using my phone as a torch, it was so dark despite the torch and I was walking fast to get home quickly.
I was nearly home when I heard a rustling noise behind me and swung round.
There was a figure behind me that looked like it was all in black, all I saw was a pair of eyes in a pale white face, it was almost just eyes in the dark that locked with mine.
I was absolutely terrified and turned to see if anything was in front of me or to see if any cars were coming, I looked back a split second later and the figure had gone.
I ran all the way home and collapsed in the house panting and in shock, I don’t think DP would have believed me if I hadn’t been in such a state.
I try to avoid walking home now but I’m still trying to find an explanation. I’m like OP, despite seeing these things with my own eyes I’m not convinced they are supernatural.
You will probably never get an answer OP, my only conclusion from these events is unexplained things happen and there is probably a logical reason behind it or maybe we are just skeptics and are being targeted by sort of spirit or ghost (what’s the difference?) but refuse to believe it.
I almost drove myself mad trying to think of what caused it (and I did get a carbon monoxide alarm) but now I just accept it. If it is a ghost I wish it would piss off, it’s often valuable things that go missing and it’s very irritating!
