Strange things have been happening at my humble abode in the last few months. Strange noises, phone conversations getting interrupted by sound that's similar to sand storm, light bulbs exploding (both inside and outside), toilet backing up with rust, and lastly, a parcel vanishing from the front porch, then somehow finding itself again at the delivery centre.While I believe that paranormal events that logic nor science cannot explain do occur, things have been pretty peaceful in general that I hadn't really spent much thought on it. But these series of events have made me wonder if I have a stray poltergeist hanging out at my place.
When the outside light bulb blew up, I didn't think anything of it. But when the bathroom bulb exploded, it was so loud and it happened with so much force that I was glad I wasn't standing inside the room. I'd have been hit with shards of glass.
Having watched more than enough horror movies in my youth, and as someone with sometimes excessively vivid imagination, when the light brownish rust, reeking of metal backed up and stained my toilet (it was happening gradually, then it went out of control), I was half expecting the water to turn into blood. Or a pale hand to emerge from the toilet bowl. But things didn't get that dramatic. Still, a plumber was promptly organised.
But the freakiest thing of all was my parcel which I was expecting. It didn't arrive on the day it was supposed to, so I had to spend yesterday chasing it up. On their record, it said that it was delivered, and the item had been scanned. And my neighbour saw it on my porch at aound 9am. I didn't hear the door bell, and when I left the house to go for a walk a few hours later, the parcel wasn't there. When I insisted that I absolutely don't have the parcel, they did some serious search and located it at another centre miles from here. The item somehow made its way back to that place, and it had been re-scanned back at the delivery centre. They can't explain how the parcel got there from my place after having been delivered once. Unless the delivery guy played a prank for no reason (which he swears he didn't, and his delivery log proves it), it makes no sense.
I'm not the slightest bit scared by all this, but it sure is annoying and inconvenient.
If you're reading this, Ms/Mr Ghost, you've had your fun. You can go now.

Lucky you're not one to get all 'irrational' and/or 'mystical' over such events. If I were you, I think I'd be s#$%ting myself.
Hi anonymous, hehehehehehe, your post made me laugh. Yes, it is indeed very lucky that I don't get freaked out by these things. However, I did get VERY irrational, mystical AND extremely scared when my ex partner proposed. Some people can be more frighening than ghosts!!
oh my goodness, u should move out! very scary.
i hope its not going on anymore.
is it really ghost? and heh, i know what else will make u scared!
having 17 babies.... :)
are u shaking now?
Hi mh, you're absolutely spot-on.
That is a petrifying thought. Thinking about having just one would've done the damage.
I don't know if it is just a coincident that so many things happened at around the same time or if it really was a ghost. I think it's more interesting to think that it was a ghost :-)
