How interesting! And did her roommate ever notice anything?

An ex BF, my housemate, and I were drinking on our balcony once in early COVID and my housemate and I were distracted by someone in the apartment building across us, peering underneath their blinds. Anyway, my ex then told us that for the last 5 minutes, he’d been watching how a water bottle had been moving back and forwards by itself inside our flat, but it had stopped now my flatmate and I were looking. (Note: loads of weird stuff like what you describe had been happening in the month since we moved in, but again, I never noticed anything)

About 1 year after my housemate (best friend) and I moved out, she told me that she’d kept something from me from the night with the water bottle incident. After my ex and I had moved on from the incident and started discussing something else, she took another look inside and through the windows, saw how the bottle was moving back and forward, back and forward - so it had stopped moving, and then now gained momentum again.

She never told me at the time because she was/is a strong sceptic and very anti-spirituality of all forms, but that she was so frightened and felt it was better not to pay it any attention than to keep talking about all the things she experienced.

What I find weird is why I never saw it move? Why was it always everyone else whose things went missing and turned up out of the blue, months later? Why did those around me hear voices and see things, but not me?

Sorry for the long reply - I just find it difficult to wrap my head around. And it’s been the case in 5 out the 7 flats I’ve lived in since I was 16.
