this and the previous post were both updated/corrected tonight at 11 p.m.
The physicists have studied my closet. Round objects placed in the center of the room (pencils, marbles, liquor bottles) roll toward the closet. Ergo, there’s no reason for that door to swing out, let alone swing out slowly and creepily.
None of us really believe it’s haunted, of course, but it’s providing us much amusement. And no small amount of puzzlement.

I returned from dinner to find that the chair holding the closet door shut (seen in the previous post) was now in the closet. This was deeply weird until I realized that the summer conference housing has housekeeping service and I also had fresh towels.
Or, I have a poltergeist who can’t abide dingy linens.
The entomologists want to go find some martinis. We could consume gin and debate the possibilities, or I could just go to sleep and dream of all of the new and exciting mummy research I learned about today.
I’m voting for sleep.
try putting flour on the floor and check for footprints. better yet put out eggs and butter and see if the ghost bakes a cake.
When I read this comment earlier in the evening, I was at the museum and read it to the archaeologists I was with and we all laughed hysterically. Now I’m back in my room and it’s creeping me out a little bit ;-)
no cake?
