Walpole Street Ghost

I know it's Valentine's Day, but this post is more fitting for Halloween. Get ready to be spooked.

So, for months, I've suspected some paranormal activity in my apartment. I've been keeping mental note and, until recently, haven't told anyone about my supposed ghostly roommate. But, something happened this weekend to put the nail in the coffin, so to speak. Tell me what you think.

Ever since I moved into my new apartment (FYI - the condo complex is reportedly a rehabbed factory of sorts. I don't know a lot about its history, but I know the basic foundation & structure has been around for quite some time.) I've had a feeling something was up. First, the kitchen, dining area & living room are one space and then the bathroom & bedroom are off that space. About once a week or so, I'll be tinkering around the kitchen/living room - cooking, cleaning, hanging out - and I'll get up to go into the bathroom or bedroom. When I come back, not just one or two, but three or four cabinet doors will be opened in the kitchen. Straight up Sixth Sense style. Now, one cabinet, I could see maybe forgetting that I opened it & forgot to shut it (which, if you knew me, you'd know is unlikely. I'm usually on top of those types of things because it irks me to have the house in disarray. Especially the kitchen.) But four cabinets? Um, I'm pretty sure I'd remember that kind of snack attack.

Second, every night I take a nice hot shower. I always stand with my back to the water stream (Is that odd? Anyway...). Every once in a while, I'll feel a few cold drops on my face, and I always look up to see if the ceiling is leaking...because that's the ONLY angle that would work. But, it has never leaked. I have no idea where it comes from - but I know it's not from the shower head. Eerie, I know.

Ok, if you're not convinced - this is it. I keep my household in order with lists. I keep to-do lists, grocery lists and misc. shopping lists. Stash this nugget of info away, it's important. So, back to the shower. Every day for about a week, during my nightly shower, I'd pick up my conditioner and make a mental note to add more to the shopping list because it was running low. I'm usually pretty good at adding the must-buys to my list, but kept forgetting (mostly because after my shower I go to the bedroom, rarely back to the kitchen with the lists.) Anyway, I stepped into the shower this weekend, reached for the conditioner and...it...was...full. For real. Full of conditioner. And, no - there's no way I left the cap off and it filled with water. The cap is on the bottom. AND, no - it's not possible someone else replaced it for me. I highly doubt that I went to the store, bought conditioner, brought it home, took it out of the bag, put it in shower..and then forgot about it.

So, I'm inclined to leave my visitor alone. S/he seems content here (although obviously pretty hungry and not happy with the food in my cabinets and disapproving of me using all the hot water.) and s/he's pretty helpful around the house. S/he saved me $3.49 in hair care product this week.

What do we think? Haunted or all in my head?
