I do not believe in ghosties, bigfoot, ufo's, or anything that has ever appeared in the pages of the Nationan Enquirer. Elvis and JFK are both dead. That being said, I have a little problem with things disappearing around me.
I lose a coffee cup about every few months or so. And they NEVER re-appear. Pocket knives are another thing that often disappears. I have a lovely little key bowl where keys, loose change, pocket knife and wallet goes. Now and then the pocket knife disappears and never returns.
In the last year my little "borrower" has decided it likes peanut butter. Three times I have purchased a jar of the sticky stuff and twice it has not made it home. The third time I bought it, I asked to put it in my pocket and the clerk looked at me like I had a horn growing from my chin to match the third eye in my forehead. THAT jar made it home, got about half used and it disappeared.
I live alone. I have had two significant others in my life and both times when they were in my life I had nothing disappear. When they were gone, my "borrower" came back. When I move, the borrower gets lost. But about 6 months into the new place, the bugger finds me again and starts up collecting coffee mugs, pocket knives, and now peanut butter.
One incident with a coffee mug this last summer really was funny. I poured a fresh cup and was carrying it around sipping away as I got dressed. When it came up missing, I was peeved because it was just about at the best temperature. I poured another and walked to the back door, unlocked it and stepped outside. The mug was on the back step. The coffee was ice cold despite the temps being in the low 70's that morning. I guess that was the turning point when I realized it was maybe not me that was losing the mugs.
