This can't be a poltergeist...any ideas as to a rational explanation?

Don’t poltergeists tend to be more, you know, destructive–green goo out of the walls and heads twirling and all that? You must have the really friendly variety.*

(Do a vet checkup with your cats, check your walls for condensation, possibly check your locks if you think someone’s been in, and don’t freak about the meowing, cats are just weird.)

  • You know what’s really weird? I typed this comment with a cheap paperback version of A Christmas Carol sitting next to the keyboard… with a picture of ghostly green Marley hovering on the cover. :eek:

If it aint coming from the pipes or spills the next logical source of puddles is your cat.

My ice maker often drops a cube after the person getting cubes through the door has given up and walked away. When the cube hits the floor one of my cats goes and gets it and plays hockey with it all over the kitchen floor, then abandons it; result: puddles of water on the floor.

24

Unlikely, but I thought I would mention phrogging.

25

No. That’s just Hollywood hyperbole. Actual, regular ghosts are much more quiet, and spread stuff like water or toothpaste much more commonly than green goo or blood.
You shouldn’t mistake what is depicted in movies for what happens in real (un)life.

Have you considered the possibility your girlfriend is trying to mess with your mind?

27

Wait, when did the OP say that the spirits had caused him to come into existence? I’m pretty sure he existed before Casper peed on his beanbag chair.

28

Ever seen Gaslight?

Hmm, maybe I don’t have a poltergeist after all! Found a leaking pipe in the bathroom. Sorry for the false alarm dopers & thanks for all the suggestions :o Really glad I hadn’t tasted something horrible produced by my kitty.

I still don’t have an explanation for that other pool of water though. But it’s not up there with ‘What happened to Amelia Earhart?’ in the League of World Mysteries.

Dude! Jesus totally peed on your floor!

31

Thank gawrsh, I thought you had been effected by the ghost of baby Jesus’ spit-up.

32

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. And stop peeing on our floors: For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen

33

Heretic.

That’s what popped into my mind, too, when the OP talked about feeling the house was lived in. Even though, as you said, it’s pretty unlikely.
