So, I am a bit late with this one but have not been online much lately. After we had the incident with the stereo, we had a few other instances with electrical items over the next few days.
That same night while Will was sleeping and Allie and I were in the living room, the power started to go out in the whole house twice. It basically powered down for a few seconds and then powered back up. There did not seem to be any logical explanation for it - no power outages, no storms. I even though perhaps we were running to much electricity and perhaps were overloading the breaker, but looking around all we had on was the kitchen light, the TV and this computer. Not enough in my opinion to blow a breaker.
Then a bit later, I went outside to smoke and noticed my car lights were on. The weird thing about that is I have automatic lights that power off after I have been out of the car for a few seconds. I literally have not turned the lights on or off in the car in about EVER.
I proceeded to walk over to my car, opened the door and flipped both the light switch, the dimming roller and the light buttons on the bottom of my rear-view mirror, just to make sure everything was in the correct position. Then I went and sat back down.
I did this three times and each time, the lights stayed on. Finally I went into the house, got my keys and started the car, then turned it off and waited to see if they would finally go off. As it turns out, they did.
Now I don't know anything about ghosts and electricity, and I am curious if they actually have been known to manifest in this way on a consistent basis in some instances. Maybe she was trying to make her presence known in a different way? Could it be that she has sent us subtle hints of her existence these past few weeks that we have missed during 'quiet times' when we think she has been lying low?
Another weird incident worth noting here happened on the very next night. Again, Will and I were out front sitting in our favorite chairs and I excused myself to go to the restroom. When I returned, Will was a little freaked out. Our neighbor has 3 cats (which I can't stand) and the big orange guy was sprinting from the far side of our driveway to the other side of our yard where his yard and house begin. Will says he was at a dead run when he stopped right in the middle of the sidewalk in front of our two front bedroom windows and hissed at our house!
It may be worth noting that while we have been outside and heard things inside the house that seem to come from out of the blue, I have never really noticed things happening outside of the house itself until the car lights and the cat incidents this past week. I wonder how many ghosts actually travel both inside and outside of various buildings or if they do at all.
If anyone has any suggestions or thoughts about these subjects, please leave me a note. I would love to hear some thoughts!

In Stereo
Not a lot of activity happening around here lately. Bums me out cause I wish I could post more!
We did have two incidents last week of our little dog Marley barking into the darkness. One night it was the usual deep in the chest growling with a little bark here and there looking up that always dark hallway.
The other one was out back on our porch. Now she could have easily seen a cat, but cats would have split the minute she started barking. She was going off that night like no other time before. Marley is a really quit dog and only barks when she hears something or sees something and only for a minute or two. She has never barked for an extended 5+ minutes consistently. That particular night she kept on and on with the persistent barking into the corner of the back yard. And this was not a little bark or growl in the chest. It was a full blown persistent barking, like she would do if someone were breaking into our house that she did not know. Anyway, not real sure what caused all the racket outside, but I am pretty sure I know what caused the incident down the hallway.
One other what I would consider 'major' thing happened to Will this morning. When I got out of the shower and was dressed for work, I went out side to smoke with him before leaving. He proceeded to tell me that the stereo right next to the TV (in the living room) he was watching turned itself on while I was showering. He said at first he was confused because with the TV and the stereo on, he thought maybe two of the TV stations had become 'squashed' together. I assume that means he thought the stations got their wires crossed or something. He said it took him to realize that one was the stereo and then he was really confused! He saw the lights on the meters of the stereo going up and down and heard music coming from one of our daughters type radio stations. He could not believe it had done it right when he was sitting there watching it (basically).
Anyway, this has been bothering him all day long. He kept brushing it off as perhaps the stereo has a timer in it that accidentally came on or something. He has been meaning to ask our daughter if she knew if the stereo had an alarm or a timer or something on it, but she has not bee around today. I told him that if it did, we would have accidentally probably hit it at another point in time over the past two years that we have had the stereo. We bought it new and I would think we would know if it had an alarm clock in it.
No explanation for this one at all. The appliances around here have not just turned themselves on before. Or not that I know of or have realized at the time anyway.
Anyone else ever had an experience with appliances or electrical problems that are unexplainable? I would like to hear about them if you have, cause I just can't seem to get my head around this one.
Until next time :)
