I've lived in a couple of houses that have had their fill of unexplained activities, so this isn't anything new for me. It is, however, new to me in THIS house.
A little bit of history:
We live in a mobile home built in 1998 and moved to this particular location in 2000. We have lived here since 2005. It's in a mobile home park that has been here in this location for at least 30 years, if not more. The park is located on the edge of town. One side of the park is butted up against a street in town. The back side is against a line of trees with a creek running through it. Behind that is farmland. The other side of the park is next to farmland. The front of the park is on the highway. A quarter of a mile down the highway is a centuries old cemetary.
We haven't experienced anything remotely unexplainable since we moved in as far as the house goes. No weird noises, no missing items, no electrical burps (aside from frequently burning out front porch lights)...nothing.
In the early summer of 2005, I went on an investigation and it was my feeling that something followed me home. It didn't, however, leave the vehicle. On the way home from that investigation, I heard my name numerous times. I also felt and heard rustling in the back seat of my vehicle and against the back of my seat, as if someone was in the car with me and nudging their knees against my seat. Again, nothing happened inside the house, but from that point on, the vehicle acted funny and had mass electrical shorts and battery issues. We got rid of the vehicle about 9 months ago and haven't had any problems with our new car.
Last Friday night (the 16th), I was taking part in the online investigation at Jimmy's. My son had a couple of friends over and they were in his bedroom engrossed in video games. My husband was asleep at the opposite end of the house and my daughter wasn't home. Our animals (a dog and four cats) were all asleep within visible distance of myself or my son and his friends. Around 1:30 or 2, I heard a loud bang in the bathroom between where I was sitting and where the boys were. I thought it sounded like a bottle of shampoo or a bar of soap had fallen onto the shower floor. I went in there to see what it was and determine what had made it fall.
Nothing had fallen.
I went in to check on the boys and they all still had their video game controllers in their hands, but my son asked me what fell. I told him I wasn't sure, but that I'd heard it too. He asked me if it was one of the cats. I told him I could account for them all except one. He said that she was asleep on his bed (when I looked, I confirmed he was right). I chalked it up as an unexplained noise...convinced myself that I must've just missed the cat and it was one of them jumping down from a shelf or something.
Last night, my husband wasn't home, so it was just the kids and me. I was up most of the night, but finally retired about 5:30. Shortly after I went to bed, I heard a noise on my room that sounded like someone stomping across it. I convinced myself it was thunder and I just misheard it. I wasn't able to fall asleep right away and about 6:00, I heard one of the kids get up. The bathroom door closed, a few minutes later, I heard the toilet flush and the door open. I then heard them walk (shuffle) across the kitchen floor and open the cupboard and get something out (I heard things being put on the counter). I also heard the fridge open. I tuned them out at that point and was finally able to fall asleep. I got up about an hour later and was talking with the kids, who were both awake now.
I asked my daughter why she'd gotten up so early. I knew it hadn't been my son because I woke him up a little after 7. My daughter said she just got out of bed a couple minutes before that. I was visibly surprised and said as much. I asked "You didn't get up and get breakfast at 6?" She said no..she hadn't had breakfast yet. When I looked in the sink and on the counter, there were no dishes to indicate that what I'd heard had even happened.
I can't explain what is going on...can't prove it's paranormal and can't prove it's not. Bottom line is...something's weird around here!! LOL

Interesting Mel.....It seems that many people, including myself, have had things happen inside their home or on the computer during the investigations at Jimmys. I'm starting to think it's something at his house that is messing with the viewers. Wouldn' t be the first time its happened.
I know for me, I've got plenty of paranormal activity. It just seems to escalate when the team is at Jimmys place.
hmm...makes me wonder.
keep us posted

that is strange
?do any of your kids sleepwalk?.... though even that still doesn't account for nothing being out of place when you got up and checked the kitchen

My oldest used to, but he hasn't for probably 8 yrs or more. He will occasionally talk in his sleep, but I haven't caught him out of bed asleep in years.
I am wishing I had a video cam to set up that had night vision..honestly. I did a digital audio recording when we first moved in, just for curiosity's sake, but nothing showed up. I may have to do it again. Unfortunately, the cats may interfere with accurate EVPs.
I absolutely *refuse* to do Ouija, but I'm sure it would respond.

I know.... for a while now.. I myself am hesistant to follow the streams from Jimmy's place.... because of unexplained occurences the online community here has had while live streaming from there. I happen to have missed the last few because I have been without internet service where I was... but wonder if I was in the city-would I tune in. All I can offer is I agree with the cam set up to record anything more you might experience.... and take care...

OO I remember that night. THough it could be your fiberglass shower stall popping Ive had one that would do it hours after someone took a shower. If it keeps it up maybe get a cam in there for a night or two see if you have any other activity besides the bangs. GOOD LUCK Hon

It's popped before....and it's NEVER been this loud. I mean it seriously sounded like somebody dropped a watermelon in it.

Maybe your kid was sleep walking. My kid (really my stepson) has had complete conversations with me in his sleep. One morning he scared the crap out of me...he comes into the kitchen and hollers " Punk" ( that is my nickname , my family calls me Punkie) and I said "what". I am facing him and he should have seen me. He runs back in to the living room like he is searching for me and yells " Punk Daddy is hollering for you". By this time I realized that something was wrong....I run in to the living room and there is Blake all cuddled up on the couch snoring. He was sleep walking. 
. It must run in the family...he Dad has done strange things in his sleep before and he does not remeber doing them.
I would def put a cam up at your house to rule out sleep walking kids. They can do some amazing things in their sleep. Atleast that would be eaiser to explain right?

The only person sleeping at the time was my husband and he was in a bedroom at the opposite end of the house. He doesn't sleep walk, but even if he had, I'd have seen him walk by me to get to the bathroom and back by me leaving it.

I was mentioning this due to you thinking your daughter got up early ans was messing in the kitchen. Maybe she was sleep walking?

LOL...oh duh! I was thinking the thing in the tub. My bad.
I thought about the whole sleepwalking thing, but it was so close to his normal wake-up schedule that I oringially ruled it out. When he sleptwalked as a younger child, it was always about 3-4 hrs into his normal sleep schedule, not an hour before he wakes up. I suppose it could be an explanation, but it'd be a new thing for him.

Another odd little occurrence yesterday.
I was sitting here alone in the house (just me and the animals). I was at the computer and was typing away, when all of a sudden I saw a black cloudy/smokey thing...ecto-looking, perhaps....appear between me and my computer monitor. I don't smoke (nor does anyone else here), so that's ruled out immediately.
It appeared almost instantly and disappeared just as quickly. It was about 6-8" long and no more than 3-4" high, but again, it was much like smoke..it didn't have any particular shape. It went from directly in front of me off to my left and away from me, then disappeared. I didn't feel uneasy, there were no temperature changes and no weird smells or sounds came with it. It was just the "smoke" thing.
