The Draft and the Bulb.

From Alex.

I've been planning to write in for quite a while and I was listening to episode 44 this

morning and heard a story that sounded like something I often experienced.

That is, my bedside lamp has a touch sensor and you need to touch it for it to turn on.

Many is the time I've woken up during the night for no other reason except that my bedside

lamp has been switched on.

Other things have happened in our house as well, most of which is quite recent.

For example, I was in the bathroom and happened to lock the door.

The lock is usually a little stiff but with a little force it's easy enough to open.

However, that day I first saw the shower curtain move.

Not in a way that could be due to a draft but as if it had been poked by someone's

finger.

Then as I moved to unlock and open the door, I found that I could not move the key more

than maybe 180 degrees each way.

I had to slide the key under the door and my dad unlocked it from the outside.

Needless to say I'm not locking that door again.

Speaking of which, the shower curtain moves rather often when there is absolutely no

wind or breeze to make it move.

Another thing that spoke me was just before 5.30am one morning, I have to get up quite

early in the morning to get the bus, I heard our hot plate beeping.

We have an electric hot plate that makes a regular series of beeps if something is left
