Poltergeist?

Two people. One house.

One downstairs, working with his laptop; the other upstairs, playing on her computer.

Both disturbed by the radio being suddenly switched on and loud news flooding the house;

Both slammed doors to respective rooms with irritated sighs and mutterings about their spouse's deafness;

Both lose it and rush out of room, colliding on stairs, to accuse the other of being 'bleeding deaf';

Both deny listening to the radio;

Both peer cautiously into bedroom and behold radio alarm belting out the news!

And the weird thing is ... it is set to operate as an alarm only, not a radio.

Gulp ... not The Creatures Who Live In The Loft up to new tricks?

    Sometimes these things happen when there is an adolescent in the house. Strange phenomena
    
    Has this happened before ?

      No, we've only lived here for two months. But it is a very old cottage - dating back to 1820 - so I'm convinced it has its own spirits! x

      How lovely - I'd love more dogs but I couldn't even begin to think about coping with more than one - she's hard work!

        I love my Trio but you have to be mad to have more than one dog. Ooops!

      It just happened the once, thank god. We were both so irritated with each other that it was actually very funny - but now I'm wondering!

I would have run screaming from the house! Get that man to go up in the loft and tell them to pack it in x

  - 06/11/2009 @ 10:40:18
  Will do - though the hatch to the loft is in the room where I was sitting - aaaarrrrrggggggghhhhh!

It could be a spirit - or maybe a house brownie.

I wrote a short article on house brownies here:

http://cardiffpagan.co.uk/magazine/issues/11/articles/brownie.html

Best thing is to talk to whoever/whatever it is - speak kindly, let them know there's room for everyone in the house provided they behave themselves. And if you ever have any problems, do drop me a line and maybe i can suggest a few strategies.

  I certainly will if there are any more strange incidents. I'm sure it is friendly though; it feels a happy house.
  
  Loved your article - totally agree with you about the spelling!

    Get Marc Tuckey on the case. He might even pay you to do tours around your house!!!!!!!!

      It would have to be a very small tour of pixie-sized people! But it might be fun - I enjoyed his tour of Yarmouth last year.
