Paranormal Activity?

Let me just start off by saying, I am not one to believe in ghosts, but after last night, my opinion may have changed. It was about 10:30 PM last night. I was talking with my friend Chris on the cellphone about Grimm Fairy Tales and how sweet the comic book series is. Suddenly the power goes out in my house! No big deal, the power goes out all the time, right? This was different. First all the power went out. Then just the light in my bedroom turned back on, but the television and everything else remained powerless. The light that came on just started flashing on and off, and the ceiling fan started to spin very slowly.

Now that was weird enough to freak me out just a little bit, but the events of the evening were just starting to escalate. While all of this is going on, I am still on the phone narrating this all to Chris. As I am talking to him, my phone just shuts off! He says on his end of the line it just went straight to a busy signal, but not the typical dropped call silence.

Now I am thinking that some kind of E.M.P. went off in the area or something. The power going out, I can accept, but affecting a mobile device that does not require electricity? That is really bizarre. Still things continue to spiral out of control from there. By this time I had gotten my phone to turn back on, and I called Chris back. That is when I started hearing this high-pitched ring. The lights are still out at this point, and the noise is coming from downstairs. So I do what anybody would do, I go and investigate. This noise is actually coming from the microwave. It keeps starting and stopping rapidly causing the ringing sound. The plug gets pulled on the microwave, and thankfully it shuts off, so does my phone, again.

Now I am really starting to get worried! What could possibly be causing all of this to be happening? I get Chris back on the phone again to give him the update on the events that have unfolded. I am then standing in my living room when the doorbell rings. I am thinking it is one of my neighbors checking to see if we had power, but when I got to the door, nobody was there. Chris heard it through the phone too, so I am not crazy! When it rang, I was maybe five feet from the door. That is way too close for somebody to ring it and run.

Really freaked out, I return to the second floor of my house. Another light in a different room turns on. I try and turn that light off with the switch on the wall, but nothing happens. By this point, I wasn’t too surprised by anything. I just kept flipping the switch and it eventually turned off. Then about five minutes later the power was restored to my house.

Now to recap the events. The power goes out. The light in my room is the only thing to turn on and it flashes repeatedly. My cellphone turns off, twice! The microwave keeps starting and stopping in an infinite loop, the doorbell rings, and a light in another room refuses to turn off. I am not sure what could of caused these things, but it was nothing normal. Perhaps I was a witness to paranormal activity.
