Who moved the...gym?

I know that sometimes ghosts can move things around or play games with you by 'misplacing' thing. But last week I came home to the unexplainable movement of a most unlikely thing - our home gym.

As I went into the back room to change clothes after work, I noticed that our gym was moved over on it's mat about 6" to the right and that there was a huge wrinkle in the mat that is underneath the gym to help protect the tile. After  I was done changing, I of course went and spoke to my husband about it to ask if perhaps he had noticed (how could he have NOT noticed) and if he had done it.

"Did you move the gym over and wrinkle the mat?" I asked.

"No. What are you talking about?" said Will.

"Someone moved the gym over and it wrinkled the mat underneath. I want to know why it was not fixed."

"Wasn't me. I have no idea what you are talking about."

"Come take a look. I am not sure how the gym got moved. The dog didn't do it that's for sure."

Will wanted to know what the hell I was talking about so I took him and showed him. The gym is simply too heavy for our dog Tonka to have done it. Neither Will, Allie or myself did it. No one else had been in our room at all. We were both dumbfounded. How can a dusty gym that has not moved nor the mat gotten wrinkled in over a year that it's been sitting there suddenly have moved?

I had to take pictures so that I could post this to my blog. You can tell from all the dust in this room that we don't use the gym (as we should) and believe it or not, this room was just mopped two weeks ago. It was when we were looking over the situation together that I also noticed a big slide mark in the dust on the seat, but not a butt mark like you would think would be on there should a person have physically sat down there. We have laid nothing on the gym ever, although it looks like something clearly took a slide across it. We had the discussion of how this had all happened and then dismissed it as a question with no immediate answer and went on with our day.

It was not until last Saturday when our friend Denise came over and was asking us about our 'ghost' and we told her the most recent story that we actually thought about trying to move the gym. She wanted to see so we took her into the back bedroom to show her and try to explain how such a heavy item got moved. The gym is not light and does not just move if bumped. We found that unless you physically lifted the end of it up and over to the right, it did not move. It's not just something that can be bumped and move easily.

I am not sure how this happened and if we will ever find out how the gym moved. I do know that this is one of the heavier items in the house that is never touched. Ever. By any one. Guess we are left wondering if our "ghost girl" is into working out, or if perhaps she was visiting with our dog and decided to take a seat. Who knows?
