My apartment ghost

Our televisions have become awash with programs about the paranormal these days. The program Ghost Hunters is an example - have they shown one ghost yet? No. Surprise, surprise, but they remain very popular because they offer a thrill, a mere suggestion of life after death.

I have always been skeptical at heart, I’m cold and believe in logic and the laws of the universe, everything has a scientific explanation or at least a possible scientific explanation that is much more likely than some far out paranormal explanation about aligned crystals and chakras.

Having said that something happened this week. Something that I cannot explain and I have tried to figure it out for the past two days. I’ll start on Thursday at the beginning.

So, Liane and I were putting groceries away when all of a sudden Oliver starts crawling into the kitchen. This was the first time he’d ever crawled anywhere so I raced into the living room to find the camera. The SD card that goes inside wasn’t in the camera but I knew where it was, as I had seen it earlier in the day. It was on the coffee table. When I looked for it, it was not there. I asked Liane, she confirmed it was on the coffee table. It was not there. We took everything off the table. It certainly was not there. 100% not there.

Whatever, thinking nothing more of it I found another card and shot some video footage.

On Friday we got up both still wondering where it was, as it had 100’s of photos on it. We had another look on the table and surrounding areas. Nowhere to be found. Around 10am after Liane had put Oliver down for a nap, she sat down on the couch and said

 “Oh, you found the card, where was it?”

From the kitchen I replied;

            “I didn’t find it.”

But sure enough, it was there. As clear as day on the table top. It was gone for only 15 hours or so, but it was definitely gone. I have no explanation and it’s really bothering me. There is literally no way it was on the table. Our table is black as is the SD card, but the card has white writing on it making it plainly obvious. We took everything off that table top. It was not there.

I could buy the cat knocking it off the table, or even the dog but neither of them are going to place it exactly back on the table where it was before. I’m at an utter loss.
