F Minus by Tony Carrillo for August 28, 2020

Go play with Pac Man.

Every now and then I find the lamp on my bedside table turned on. But I’m sure it’s the cats doing it. It’s a touch control lamp.

He looks like the guy who ghosted me.

Our TV has been doing that for the last year or so. Thankfully the spirit that finds this funny hasn’t learned to turn on the surround sound, I can live with only the light show till I get up.

We don’t use the term “gaslighting” anymore. The civilized term is “master persuasion”. That’s what sells books, anyway.

“Oh yeah? Well I’m even more of a jerk. I ex-spector-ate on them.”

That’s the spirit!

Olga, the ghost is our old house, would turn off my step-son’s headbanger music and leave his country on. When we lived there our dog would go nuts when she looked through the windows. Depends on who saw the apparition, I saw a black outline, my wife saw more details. My wife’s ex’s grandmother would move a plate from the kitchen to the basement. My stepfather’s pre-Civil War house in the Shenandoah valley had a cold spot in the attic

Its not that I believe, but when presented with situations that defy simple explanation ???

I hadn’t been in my last apartment more than a year or so when something weird happened.

I walked down the hall, turned to go down a short hall to the bathroom and got hit in the back with a penny.

Nobody else in the apartment except my cats.
