Were you sitting in the dark playing Eternal Darkness? becuase thats what I was doing last night :Q :Q :Q
 
on a similar note: my sister has one of those talking elmo dolls. yeah, the ones that laugh when poked, and vibrate when poked three times in a row. well, its thrown up to one of those ceiling corner doll net holders, so nothing is near it, and its facing out the door too. every once in a while, at night it would just go off and start laughing when i walk by her room...
Hahahaha, my sis has one of those, and when I was house sitting for her there was a thunder storm. Woke me and my ex up, was pitch black, and elmo started laughing at us

I got a question regarding bolding words.

Couldn't people just make everything bold and add Anandtech Moderator at the end to try to trick people?

I'm sure you would get banned for that but i'm just surprised that I have never seen that happen

You mean kinda like this? 😛
Anandtech Mutilator

I've been tempted... but I'd like to stay on the mods good side... assuming I'm there already. Gotta get what I pay for. 😀

What if every time you thought you heard a footstep, you actually did.

Yeah but your senses can play tricks on you. This was a real, actual, measurable something I saw. The energy came from somewhere....

Someone posted it may have been stuck and just let loose. Sometimes that happens, I have seen that.

If that wasn't the case it could've been "harmonics". There may have been a truck nearby transferring energy waves into the ground or an Earthquake generating frequency waves that reverberate the metal coil of the stopper at it's harmonic frequency.

To learn about this just do a Google search on the Tocoma Narrows Bridge.

Engineers goofed back then and did not account for the harmonics of the metal properly and the bridge violently shook itself apart when wind speeds hit exactly 55 MPH due to harmonics. It was captured on old movie film too.



 
Probably had some excess energy in the spring and it let loose. Happens. Theres no demon in your room and your doorstop wasn't a vibrator in its previous life.
