Something Kinda Spooky

[Murky]

Still, that's not a very ordinary electrical malfunction... Is your car in a garage?

Yes, it's parked in a garage at night. I have the only key to it.

 

[Midgard Eagle]

Now neither me or my wife really believe in ghosts or hauntings, so is there any logical explanation any of you guys can think of that would cause this to happen? Or do you think this might be evidence of an actual haunting?

No, someone being clueless is not evidence of a haunting, more than it is evidence of Islamic terrorists or lockpicking graemlins.

I would take the advice of the rational people here and call/visit a locksmith.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Have you tried leaving the deadbolt unlocked and the handle locked?

That way the ghost might lock it the right way.

That wouldn't solve anything if it's his wife pranking him or if your theory of lockpicking graemlins is true.

The only rational thing to do is setting up the camera and find out what they're dealing with.

No, but it would solve the problem if he is indeed having a problem with his lock.

Well, it's one rational thing, and I advise he do it, but it's of course not the only rational thing.

Okay, so it hasn't happened in a few days and my wife has been double-checking how she locks the door. This leads me to believe that it was just her doing it and not realizing it, or if she was pranking me she decided to stop.

OR it's a ghost unicorn from another dimension on a mission to screw with the chosen one

Well then, who's the chosen one, me or my wife?

The iguana.

The iguana.

Serious note on the iguana: We are having him put down. He likes to do this thing where he climbs his cage and then throws himself all the way to the bottom (a good 5 to 6 foot drop). It's one of the things I hated the most about him since he made a lot of noise doing it. Well it seems the last time he did it, he either broke or dislocated his jaw and now he is unable to eat. Since we don't have the money to get his jaw fixed and we don't want him to suffer by starving to death, we are taking him to be put down.

Arranged a little "fall" for him Commodore?

I am not above doing something like that, but he did in fact do this to himself thus saving me the effort of plotting and executing his murder.

It would seem all of my problems seem to be getting solved this week. This is a good week.

Poor guy, sounds like he's trying to commit suicide.

Nah, he did this when he was happy at my wife's parents' place too. It was his way of playing and I guess it finally caught up with him. He also hasn't lost the will to live because he still tries to eat, he just can't open his mouth enough to actually grab the food. I actually feel sorry for the little demon.

Has he already been put down? If so, maybe his ghost is working on the locks.

Good. Better now than later.

Okay, me and my wife are a little freaked out now. Over the past four or five days we have had some weird experiences with the door to our apartment. We have two locks on the door, a deadbolt and a lock on the door handle. My wife works in the evenings and when she comes home she locks the deadbolt but not the lock on the handle. I don't touch the locks at all, but for the last four or five days we keep finding that the deadbolt is unlocked and the handle is locked.

People going through your apartment without the courtesy of arranging to do so first?
My apartment complex is pretty nice in that they pamphlet at least 24 hours ahead of time (with the reason) before they do so.

UPDATE: Okay so we have gone almost 2 weeks now without incident, unitl today. My wife went out with one of her friends and she didn't lock the door when she left. I am sure of this because I walked her to the door to say goodbye. I left the door unlocked and went ot take a nap with my daughter. We were awoken by the sound of my wife banging on the door because somehow it had been locked while I was sleeping. It couldn't have been me sleep walking either since I woke up in the same position I fell asleep in, which was on my side holding my daughter. I don't know what's going on, but something is definitely fishy here. The thing that's creeping me out the most is my landlord says he's not the one coming in and if it were theives we leave all our valuable stuff out in the open, but nothing is ever taken or even moved around.

 

[Mad Man]

It sounds like camera time.

 

[Loppan Torkel]

How well do you know your daughter?


I vote for the camera too. Unless you'd rather not know, of course.
