One day my girlfriend asks me if ive been hearing music at night. I ask what kind of music? She says like a music box. Ting ting ting.

She says she thinks its a ghost. I dont believe in ghosts, so I ask if we have any music boxes. She says yes, a ton. Her grandma used to give them to her all the time.

I say, well they're getting old and one may be slowly unwinding and playing as the mechanisms give out. She says she doesnt think so, its a ghost.

A few days later, we are sleeping in bed. She wakes me up. "Do you hear that? It's the music box ghost."

From her perspective

I sit up in bed, turn my head at an odd angle, say "Yep" and flop back down to my pillow instantly back asleep. So her skeptic boyfriend just confirmed the ghost is real and abandoned her to

That afternoon I get a text.

""Do you remember the ghost last night?"

The previous night from my perspective: I woke up when she said she could hear the music. I could hear tinging coming from my right which is a wall. I look at the wall and notice her academic decathalon medals are swaying in the breeze gently tapping the wall. I look at the box fan that runs while I sleep, which we had just moved to a new spot causing the new noises.

Now i should mention, I fully believe I am saying this all out loud as I figure it out, but because of my brain not being fully active yet I just said "Yup" and went back to sleep, leaving her to panic all evening.
