Ghost in the…?
My computer is set up in my bedroom. At night before I go to sleep I put it on standby, but I leave it and all peripherals powered on. Every once in awhile my all-in-one printer, which is hooked up to the phone line for the fax, lights up. It does this just before my phone rings, which is kind of cool, and sometimes at night it lights up but the phone doesn’t ring. I just figured there’s some kind of signal hitting it and didn’t pay much attention.
Then early this morning, while I was asleep, something even weirder happened. I woke up to a loud rushing noise and a strong wind. My first thought was that it had started pouring rain and a window had blown open, but I quickly woke up and knew that couldn’t be true.
Somehow our ceiling fan, which is controlled via a remote, had turned itself on at full speed. The remote sat untouched on my night table, there was no way I could have accidentally knocked it.
Spooky.

Okay, that’s a little freaky! Is the hubby still in Sweden? Does the dog sleep with you? I’d feel just a bit weirded out myself!

Probably a symptom of global warming (and a sign to power it all down at night to conserve energy). Just a thought from a tree-hugger friend. ;-)
