The Spirit

My sister said that she believed that her old apartment was haunted. I asked her why she thought that and she said just little things keep happening and stuff keeps moving out of its place and she knows she didn't move it and at night sometimes she hears stuff.  I asked her what kind of stuff but she said just stuff. 

Now, I don't believe in ghosts but I do kinda sort of believe in spirits. I say this because when my son was around 3 and we lived in my grandmother's house my son used to say that she was there and he saw her. Then when he described my step grandfather that he had never met nor saw a picture of him. Then the phone was disconnected but yet it would ring and when you would answer there was nobody on the other end. 

Fast forward to moving here. For a while I have been hearing kitchen noise. Like someone is in the kitchen but nobody is in the kitchen. I hear stuff. I  hear cans rattle, the recycle cans, they move in the bag. Almost like someone is throwing them in the bag, ok, like I throw them in the bag the same noises.  Late at night the cups rattle in the cupboards sometimes. Sometimes people knock on the wall or I should say something knocks on the wall. I just roll over at 4 am and keep sleeping. They should know by now that I am not trying to be up at that time of morning. Honestly, I pay no attention basically to all of it. I don't know if it is a ghost, or the neighbors in the next building. I don't know if someone passed away in this apartment years ago and is coming back to visit or if it is just the wind coming in from the window I forgot to close all the way. Or it could be the people slamming down the trash bin outside. 

But, whatever it is I just wish they would wash the dishes and take out the trash. That would make me happy.
