Poltergeist anyone ?

Post by Die Judicii » 09 Nov 2026, 10:24 pm

Ok, here we go,, I have no other possible solution.

A week ago my cordless mouse just vanished. Like a fart on a windy day. :unknown:

My office is my own, as in no other random people enter or use it.
Contained within the private residence.
I had been using the desktop computer that very morning,,,, and then returned mid afternoon to send an email.

NO MOUSE. :wtf:

I looked everywhere, shifting papers, etc, and a couple of empty cartridge boxes that were also on the desk.
Searched drawers, cupboards, and shooting bags to no avail.
Even checked the waste paper bin. :problem:

NO MOUSE. :wtf:

Then becoming rather frustrated checked all cupoards, wardrobes, drawers throughout the entire house.
I mean,,,,,,,,,,, a PC Mouse is not something that you put in your pocket, or carry off to the firewood heap in the backyard.

It has just totally disappeared.
On the day it disappeared, I ended up getting a corded mouse out of storage so I could continue, and that is what I'm still stuck with now,, a week later.

It's one of those things that I don't think I'll ever solve,, and certainly can't explain.

A bit like the day I was using a center punch in an enclosed room with a concrete floor.
Mis hit it, and it went flying over to the far corner of the room (saw it in my peripheral vision) but when I walked over to pick it up, it was nowhere to be found.
Shifted every cupboard and bench,,,,, and swept the entire floor.

I never ever found it. :unknown:
I do not fear death itself... Only its inopportune timing!
And,,,,It's been proven,,,,, the most trustworthy females in my entire life were all canines.

Down the same Black Hole that hangs around under engines and takes spring washers etc to the other side of the Universe.

Mate, look into the side effects of the medications you are on, true.

More likely it was stolen by Aliens, they beam stuff up all the time, so far only the mouse and a centre punch but I strongly recommend you make and wear a tinfoil hat.
By some accounts when they beam people up they occasionally can do rather intrusive things !

Absolutely, that's what happened to me, a 3/8 10mm socket. Gone.

Last time I saw a poltergeist was on an episode of The Young Ones. It was scary, man.

Poltergeists throw stuff around and smash stuff up. While you're present, I believe.
That is, if it wasn't a medication mix up. That does happen.

Your eyes convert images to electrical impulses that the brain puts together as images. Sometimes this goes awry. People see UFO's, small hairy men, sockets bouncing in the opposite directions...
