A Ghost Named Elizabeth

Since this thread has been resurrected, a few thoughts:

When I'm in the kitchen I do all sorts of things. He was cooking an omelet, which means he was in the fridge at some point. Either he didn't secure the door as well as he though, or he left it open. I do things like that all the time and say "I could have sworn I closed that!" And sometimes something is blocking it from sealing properly, and it will swing open.

As for the burner being turned off, it could simply have been force of habit. Something one does without thinking, and certainly doesn't recall.

The cat I wouldn't even bother with.......cats are strange critters.

If you were to stay in my house, you would hear footsteps in the attic, find my over stuffed fridge not closed properly often, and the burners turned off by accident, or the wrong burners turned on. The kitchen activities are explained by "duhh" moments. The other has to do with the soft ground in the valley floor I live with....and the constant train traffic nearby. While it's well insulated and you don't often hear the trains, you'll notice the shower doors rattling and settling noises in the attic that often mimic footsteps.
 
I agree with Miss Anthrope: I suspect a lot of the unusual happenings Harris reported are the result of him doing something. Since he's the type to be thrilled at the idea of having a ghost in his house, anything unusual gets attributed to her (it?) I don't believe in ghosts, so if something unusual or unexpected happens around my place I search for a more prosaic explanation.

I haven't been back to his place since. He's only an acquaintance, not a friend, and sadly his constant forays into woo territory are a disincentive for me wanting to get to know him better. He's a little like Deepak Chopra: I don't think he's met a woo idea he doesn't like.
 
22 years old cat? that's paranormal by itself!
And meter reading? as if ghosts could be detected by some device?
