Thread: A 2:00 AM scare!

  1. #1

    A 2:00 AM scare!

    It was 2:00 AM, I was in asleep in bed and then I heard voices downstairs, an actual conversation. I thought someone had broken into my house & they were talking to each other. I grabbed the only weapon I had, which is a sword, and I went downstairs fully prepared to behead and/or disembowel someone. Well. My office TV had turned on by itself, that's where the voices were coming from, and I couldn't get it to turn off. Now it's off and I can't get it back on. So much for hearing voices. And I so wanted to give that sword a good workout.
    Blessings,
    Mary

    LOL, I read this on Facebook. I am glad you didn't have to use the sword.
    It's very strange that your TV turned on by itself. Growing up our TV would turn off or the volume would mute by itself. Someone always had to have the remote in hand for when it happened.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    If you do stab your TV make sure the sword handle is insulated?

    It sounds like my old friend Freddy is paying you a visit. He hasn't been around here in a long time.

    Well, it's either that or be a victim and I won't allow that. Guess I should look into taking gun classes and get my ccw.

    The poltergeist that used to be around when my kids were little, and then again when the grandkids were little. On and off t.v., things turning up missing and then turning up a year later, knock on the door and no one there, the swing outside swinging with no one on it and no wind blowing to make it move, the calculator "totaling" with no one near it, the dogs seeing him, etc, etc, etc. Nothing malicious - just mischevious. That Freddy!
