Has anyone got an explanation for my experience.
About 8 years ago my parents, my two sisters and I were downstairs
watching TV when we heard a small thud from upstairs. We paid no
attention to it at that time but a short time later I went upstairs
to retire for the night and was surprised to find that the light
bulb was lying on the floor of the hallway. On entering my bedroom
I found a light bulb on my bed which had come froma bedside lamp.
My sister found the same thing had happened to her bedside lamp.
The bulbs were reinserted in the holders and they worked normally.
I have never had a satisfactory explanation for this.

Re .0 (Tom):
It's hard to answer on a worldwide network without more data. If
you're in the U.S., for example, you have screw-in lightbulbs; if
in, say, France, you have bayonet (or whatever) clip-in bulbs.
What was the orientation of the bulbholders, too (i.e., if the
bulbs loosened, say via vibration, would they have fallen out easily,
or would they have to have vibrated up and out)? Were there other
bulbs upstairs that were unaffected? Were any bulbs downstairs
affected?
In short, data insufficient to make more than a blind guess.

It might be unkind to continue ignoring the youngest sister.

| 771.3 | More information. | BELFST::ARMSTRONG | Whatever you say....say nothing | Thu Jun 23 1988 09:22 | 25 |
More details of the event are as follows:
House; Semi detached 4 bedroom house located in an estate of 60
houses in a rural village about 25 miles south of Belfast, Ireland.
House age about 10 years, no previous occupants from new.
Bulb type; bayonet cap push and turn......impossible to vibrate
loose.
The bulbs in the other bedrooms, bathroom and the rest of the house
were unaffected.
No one in the house was suffering from stress or other physcological
problems (that includes the youngest sister Ann).There had never
been, to my knowledge, any previous "strange" happenings in the
house and there have been none since. The bulbs which were found
on the beds could not have fallen out otherwise they would have
been on the floor. The bulb on the landing would have required a
step ladder to remove.
Anns' explanation is a possible explanation which I have pondered
over the years but I am 99.9% convinced that Christine (my youngest
sister) or indeed anyone else in the house had nothing to do with
it.

I don't know much about them, but perhaps poltergeists.
