there's a ghost living (existing?) in my apartment. we've known for a while that the roommate's room is haunted. there's always been strange noises, doors opening and closing, all the standard ghostly fare, and it's always been limited to his room. every so often, there'd be something odd in other parts of the apartment (usually things go missing and are later found in places that make you wonder 'What the hell?'), but nothing that could only be explained as ghostly activity.

last night, as the boyfriend and i enjoyed a lively discussion about how much my computer sucks, the garbage disposal came on. on its own. no one near it. also, the room was cold, though the thermostat was set for 75°. and later, i found my sock drawer open. that's strange because i have no socks in it (they're all in a laundry basket, awaiting mating).

on monday night, the power flashed off for a couple of minutes. except to the DVD player and television. when the power came back on, the light in the living room, where we were, didn't. i thought we'd blown the bulb, so i went to flip the switch off before changing it, but the switch had already been flipped! i flipped it back on, and the light worked! it was the ghost's work! spooky, isn't it?
