So...a lot of weird shit has been happening to me lately. Things that I cannot explain. I'm not a huge believer in the supernatural or anything, but after the last couple of weeks I'm starting to believe. Let me explain....

About 2 weeks ago, or there about, I was surfing the web-TFP-ing and such, when I caught movement out of the corner of my eye, I thought nothing of it, figuring it to be a bug, then one of my daughter's toys, the talking grill, starts going "Fire me up!!" and whatever else it says.

Now I was freaked, because you have to move the thing in order for it to turn on. Then the sink in her play kitchen starting making it's noise, you have to turn a knob for it to turn on. Pretty weird, eh? It gets better. After the sink turned itself on I was done for the evening shut everything down and went upstairs (My office and my daughter's playroom are in the finished basement of my house).

When I got to the top of the stairs, I noticed an overwhelming smell of cigarrette smoke, but no one in our house smokes, no one that we know smokes and the windows to the house were closed due to the 30 degree night air. When I went two steps in any direction the smoke was nowhere to be smelled...kind of freaky, what with smoke having that smoky property of drifting.

As I approached the bathroom I noticed that there was a heavy smell of pipe smoke in the air around the bathroom and my daughter's room. I figured she wasn't smoking a pipe-she's only three. Once again, when I went two steps in any direction the pipe smoke was nowhere to be smelled.

Nervously shrugging it off, I went into the bathroom, did my thing and came out and went to bed. I was thoroughly freaked out due to the smoke smells, so I was fairly wide awake. Then I noticed a circle of light on the wall. I figured it was from the neighbors driveway lights shining in through our blinds and hitting one of the holes that the strings run through. Well, they shut their lights off and the circle was still there. It was the only light in the room...now I'm completely freaked and not too happy. Nothing more really happened that night.

The circle of light has been there on and off over the last couple of weeks and I've become comfortable with it there. I've rationalized it to be something man-made-makes me feel better.

Over the last couple of days I've noticed something quite peculiar. It seems that sometimes there are warm spots here and there. I noticed it a couple of days ago. It was 85 degrees and my wife had the central AC on in the house, since the basement is ducted it was about 50 down there, but my chair was quite warm, as though someone had been sitting in it just a moment before and the immediate area in front of my keyboard was warm as well.

I flashed back to the night that everything went whacky in the basement and started wondering if there was something to all of these happenings.

I have noticed the same thing with my car seat being warm-at night, when it rainy, dark and cold, last night my side of the bed was warm along with my pillow-the whole side of my bed was warm. No electric blanket on and my wife was on her side of the bed and had not been on my side, freaky.

Just today as I sat down to my computer after lunch, my chair was hot, my mouse was hot and my wrist rest was hot, as though someone were just sitting here. I am now completely freaked out. I know no one was sitting at my desk while I was eating lunch because I was sitting at a round table in my cube with one of the other guys while I ate. We started eating at noon, we finished at about 1pm, after shooting the breeze for a while, then I got up from the chair at the table and sat down at my desk and everything is hot-the heat isn't on, the AC is. How fucked up is that??

So, those of you that lasted this long....any ideas/similar experiences? I'm grasping for answers but only one "makes sense" right now.
