I've always presumed things like that to be a ghost in the house since it is fairly simple for them to nudge electronics, which they seem to like to do with me as a "doorbell" of sorts. Send snaps and sparks out of my air cleaner, turn on the radio, flicker lights, etc. I don't have this issue with my new computer but for YEARS, with my old one, there would be times when it would just not function. Everything seemed weird (like a virus but it would clear itself), and then both my husband and myself would get these weird error codes that would pop onto the screen (no I'm not kidding) that would say "Pssssst, Shhhhhhh, Don't tell anybody". Weird huh? Sometimes it would tick me off and I would yell, LEAVE THE COMPUTER ALONE, I CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE IT FIXED!!! and often it would function again. Or I would just say FINE! and walk away for a while and when I returned it would work. Of course I suppose there'e always an alternative explanation that brainacs in computer factories get bored and maybe build in some weird stuff to random computers, but usually I've interpreted it to mean I have a ghost trying to get my attention, so I try to figure out what they need and send them on their way. You may have a helpful ghost, or a passed friend or relative that dropped by. Time will tell, eh? I’ve never thought of a ghost in the machine before…interesting twist!
