"Haunted Tablet" Acts Up Again

In the post here I described a very spooky incident in which the flashlight at the back of my Samsung tablet turned on by itself, even though the tablet device was turned off  Early this morning the same thing happened again.

Here is what happened this morning. Less than 5 minutes after I turned off the Samsung Galaxy Tab A, and plugged in the device for recharging,  the flashlight at the back of the device turned on.  This time I got out a camera to make a record of the incident.

In this video you can see the following:
(1) At the beginning of the video, the Samsung tablet is turned off, but the flashlight at the back of the tablet is shining, which should not be possible when the tablet is turned off.
(2) The flashlight turns off as inexplicably as it turned on.
(3) I swipe my fingers in front of the tablet, to verify that the device is off (swiping will cause the screen to activate when the device is on).
(4) I then turn on the device using the button on the side of the device.
(5) The startup screen turns on, showing that the device really was turned off.

 Such a thing has happened twice with a device I have used on 200+ days without such a thing happening. 

In this case the light turning on seems kind of doubly impossible. The first reason it seems impossible is that when the tablet is turned off, it should be impossible for the flashlight at the back to turn on (that flashlight cannot be turned on manually by touching anything on the tablet). The second reason the light turning on seems impossible was that I have never downloaded any software for turning on the flashlight on the back of the device. To turn on the flashlight of a Samsung Galaxy Tab A, you have to download some special app I have never downloaded.

About half an hour after this spooky event occurred, a CD mysteriously fell off a shelf that I hadn't touched in at least 20 minutes.  Are these signs from some spiritual force?

Postscript: I have since discovered one and only one way to turn on the flashlight on my tablet: you can go into a Google voice recognition app, and say "Flashlight on." But that will only work if the tablet is on, and in this case the tablet was off. I also said no such words when the tablet flashlight mysteriously turned on.

Blue Orbs Seem to Like Aligning

I took the photos below at Grand Central Terminal in New York on August 26, 2017 and August 16, 2017.  We see three mysterious blue orbs, and all three are aligning to a structural or architectural line in the station. I have published 257 photos showing mysterious orbs aligning to lines in such a way, and many of these photos show multiple cases of such alignment.

More Orb Pattern Repetitions

Photo date: August 23, 2017. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photos below show more examples of the recurring patterns in mysterious orbs.  The one on the left is the 17th example of a pattern I call the "corner chord" pattern.  The one on the right is the 11th example of a pattern I call the "curved stripe at top or bottom" pattern. 

 These patterns are two of of 21 recurring patterns I have noticed in mysterious orbs I have photographed. The grid below summarizes each of these patterns, and how many times each have been photographed. Click here to see multiple examples of each of these patterns.

Paranormal Response?

The cable TV show Destination Truth involves host Josh Gates trekking around the world to investigate or quest for various legendary or reputedly paranormal things. The show does not pile up very much in the way of paranormal evidence, but the travel visuals and the very engaging personality of the host make the show worth watching.

I was watching the show last night.  Several feet away from me was a box fan resting securely on the seat of a chair with a very flat seat.  At one point in the show, Josh said something like, "We debunked that paranormal thing." At that very moment, the box fan inexplicably crashed to the floor.  It was as if some spiritual presence was responding to the word "paranormal" on the TV.

Giant Orb Over Sacred Mountain?

A post today on the Mysterious Universe site is entitled, "Giant Orb Hovers Over Sacred Mountain in British Columbia."  The post has an impressive-looking video that seems to show a very bright moving orb.

The post links to the original story here at a local new source called the Squamish Chief.  Someone named David Palachik has added this comment to the story:

As the Head of Investigations for Mufon Canada I can state that this footage has been authenticated as actual footage of an ORB. It is not a helicopter or plane, not a sky lantern of flare, not ET in a craft nor has it been created to perpetrate a hoax. Using forensic video analysis software and analyzing each frame shows the intensity of the light, the size and speed, all of which will be posted in an official Mufon report at its conclusion.

I would like to include a link to the video, but my policy on this site is to only show photos and videos I have taken myself. That way I can be sure that every single photo and video shown on this site is completely authentic.
