Yeah, I think this guy was at my house the other day.
I have a lamp on a digital timer. Day in, day out, it comes on at the same time and goes off at the same time, whether I’m here or not. We’re talking well over 15 years at this point. Might be pushing 20.
The other day I went into that room for the first time that day after dark and the lamp wasn’t on. Thought the bulb had died. Manually turned the lamp on via the timer. I was able to deduce from the number of button pushes it took that the timer had been in auto mode and that the lamp should have been on. But it wasn’t.
Absolutely no reason for it to have been off. The lamp, the bulb and the timer have all continued as if nothing weird happened since then.

Therefore maybe a ghost did it.
