Mystery Solved!

Last week there were some very strange & unusual things happening at our house. First, we lost power to our home alarm system. It was still plugged in, so I checked the breaker box. The breaker had been tripped...hmmmm. That had never happened before, but I really didn't think anything of it. The very next day, we got home from church & found our back door OPEN! At that point I started to get a little worried. But Michael kept trying to tell me that one of the kids probably did it, even though we've been in this house for 2 years & neither of the kids had EVER opened that door. (It's got a crazy lock on it that adults have trouble opening.) He also tried to convince me that the open door had absolutely nothing to do with our alarm being off for several hours the previous day. So I remained calm & dismissed both incidents. Well.....the very next morning I noticed that the light in the tool shed was ON!!! We had not been out there in MONTHS & there was no possible way that one of the kids did it. My mind started racing, and I knew that we either had a haunting or some homeless guy living in our attic or tool shed (it happened to one of my friends in high school!). Michael checked the tool shed first & found nothing missing & no one living in there. Next he checked the attic. As he climbed up the steps, I had the phone in hand ready to dial 911. Then Michael said, "Hello? Anyone up here? I'm not gonna hurt ya, I'm just gonna ask you to leave." He thought he was being sooo funny, but I failed to find any humor in the situation. Thankfully no strangers were living in the attic. So that left only one conclusion....it had to be a haunting. Just Kidding! But I had to know what caused all of these very bizarre things.
I could explain the alarm power loss with a circuit overload. And after thinking more about it, I remembered that the tool shed light came on after I tripped the breaker. So the only thing I couldn't explain was the back door being open. But last night I got my explanation. Max & I had gone out & Michael & Kate had stayed home. When we got home, I noticed the back door was open. Kate confessed & the entire mystery was solved!
