There have been several electrical problems in my office in the last month, so the only sane and rational conclusion is that it must be haunted...
In the span of less than thirty days, I have had five short but total blackouts that only affect my office, two routers that had the AC/DC power adapters burn out, the power supply in my computer burned out, two CFL lights burn out, a cd player turn itself on in the night, and several light flickers. Before this year started, I have never had any adapters or power supplies burn out ever! I have never had a single CFL bulb burn out before. And usually blackouts affect the whole street, not just my small office.
So it must be a ghost haunting my room...Or maybe it is related to my new neighbour rewiring his basement himself and tapping into the main power line.
