Weird & Spooky & Spooky & Weird

Last night I had gone through my usual bedtime ritual--brush teeth, take BP med, etc.--and was just fixing to come to bed when all of a sudden there was this terrific roaring, vibrating racket, like someone had started a generator on the other side of the party wall. In fact, I kind of thought this had happened. It was coming from somewhere near the head of the bed on my side. I dashed over there and started looking around to try to determine the source of the noise. I figured out that it wasn't a generator on the other side of the party wall--it was obviously in the bedroom.

Then my husband, who had gone to bed ahead of me because he has to get up earlier than God in the morning, rolled over to my side of the bed, reached down and opened the drawer in the pedestal....and turned off the silver egg which was on and vibrating like mad, and making a terrific racket because of the beaverboard composition of the drawer (except for the front) and the hollowness under the bed.

When this egg went on, my husband was asleep on the other side of the bed and I was in the bathroom, so it just came on spontaneously. We are still trying to figure out how this could have happened.

It's kind of funny to me that he knew what it was right away.



P.S. A little corrosion so that the circuit was closed for the power is all it would need. I've known car alarms/horns to come on spontaneously at night and I can't have a fire alarm in my house because it corrodes so quickly and starts beeping all the time.

I must say he was quicker on the uptake than I was. But really, who expects a vibrating egg to just start up when no one's even near it, let alone touching the control?

I believe it's Satan trying to tell you something.

Did you lose the remote in the sofa cushions again?

It is an inexpensive model with a wire, and the whole thing was in the drawer.

Okay, now we're into spooky!

A switch could have corroded and failed, but that's of relatively low probability. Those doodads are built to prevent that.

That leaves hubby playing a prank (doubtful) or some supernatural critter doin' the same thing; ie: a poltergeist.

Anything else weird like this been goin' on in your casa? Cranky, sullen teenagers have been linked to poltergeist activity before.

So's a Cadillac.

Hmmmm...methinks we have a disgruntled Caddy owner in the house.

On a first name basis with the tow truck driver are we?

I do have a teenager in the house, but he's not particularly cranky or sullen nowadays. In fact, he's too busy cackling with his friends on the on-line phone instead of going to bed like he should. He got his circadian rhythms all messed up over the summer and is not doing a whole lot to get them back.

I think your 'egg' just wanted attention. Have you been ignoring it?

I think a couple of naughty ghosts wanted to have some fun.

Now there's a thought...

A haunted egg.....better than a haunted ovary i guess.
