There's a ghost in my house.
Ok, so here's an interesting story and I'd like to know how this is possible if anyone can figure it out. The best explanation I've come up with so far is that there's a ghost in my house.
Kathy and I are sleeping the other day, as we generally do at 3am and both of us wake up because of a loud crash. I was half awake and wasn't sure what I heard and noticed that we had fallen asleep with the TV on and so I thought it might be the TV.
Kathy was less convinced that it was the TV, but we didn't hear anything else going on. I went back to sleep. Kathy got up and walked around and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. She was probably half asleep as well.
Anyhow, we had received all of this crystal when we got married. A crystal bowl and a vase, some champagne glasses, lots of candle holders. We received so much crystal, in fact, that we had to buy a whole display case to put it all in. The display case has glass windows and glass shelves and only a thin wooden frame around it.
Kathy gets up the next morning and notices all the crystal in pieces at the bottom of the display case. This in itself is pretty lame, as the crystal was pretty nice, but at least we had discovered the cause for the crash in the middle of the night.
What we can't figure out is how all the crystal fell. The cabinet was standing upright, the few things we had on top of the cabinet did not seem to be disturbed at all, and, strangest of all, not one of the glass shelves was broken. It seems like all of the shelves somehow swivelled off of the pegs that were holding them simultaneously and dropped the crystal, but did not break themselves. It's really eerie.
Even it some person were in the house, which seems unlikely as the door was locked, the windows closed, nothing was missing, and we didn't hear anything aside from the crashing, but even if there was someone there, how could someone manage to swing all the shelves like that at the same time? That cabinet has been holding that crystal since we got married 2 and a half years ago.
I just don't get it. Anyone got any bright ideas how this cabinet may have dropped all our nice stuff like that?

Yeah, Chuck. The earth shook in a mini-earth quake, and the item was on the edge of the shelf and fell over.
Yes, I'm serious.
Or, if your apartment is next to an elevator, the elevator may have caused enough vibration to do it. Or a passing subway or whatever. You get it.
Really I'm serious.
