What In The World?

(ETA: I have been trying to embed theme music for this post here, with a controller. Apparently, LJ embed does not allow the controller; if you embed media, it by-God is going to play, and the reader has no option to stop it. That is unacceptable. So, if you'd like to have appropriate music by which to read this entry, I invite you to click ( Read more... )

I told you the ghost wasn't gone!

:(

IF this is a ghost, it's not the same one.

That's even worse.

You get the sage, I'll get the holy water. Light some candles and start speaking in tongues.

I'm a Lutheran. We don't do tongues.

I'd be freaked...but more because I'd be worried that someone was in the house!

But it would have had to have been someone who had keys to our bedroom doors. Keys from the 1920s.

If I walked in and found footprints and a Time magazine from last week, yeah, I'd worry that someone had been in the house. But who could have come in and brought keys that fit our locks?

It's coming from inside the house!

Sadly, my inherent rationality makes me vote for the cleaners, also.

oddprofessor February 8 2010, 01:51:46 UTC

Yeah, but that's no fun!

The thing that tilts me in the cleaners' direction is the modern wire. But you're right: that's no fun.

Actually, the wire looks like something the previous owners would have done. They did some strange things like wiring openers for the heating duct flaps out of coat hangers.

My theory is that they were stuck in the picture rail, which is kind of high up and deep so they could have been there, and the cleaning ladies dislodged them, saw them fall down, and figured they must belong up high, so they put them over the door frame.

You have cleaning ladies? LadieS? Plural?

*curtseys*

We have as many ladies as the boss lady sends. Some days it's only one, sometimes as many as three.

And we have a gigantic house, let's not forget that part.
