Recharging Anomalies Spook Me
I have witnessed around my living quarters an extreme variety of very hard-to-explain events, including countless mysterious orbs in a variety of colors showing up in photos, lights turning on by themselves, a sound machine changing its channel or state numerous times when no one was touching it, a TV changing its state or channel or sound volume 10+ times when no one touched a remote, a tank-less toilet four times flushing by itself, objects seeming to appear or change positions in explicable ways, and so on and so forth. The latest permutation of this weirdness involves the recharging of my Samsung tablet.
I always leave my Samsung tablet on all day, and recharge it (after turning off the machine) while I am sleeping, which is sufficient to produce a 100% charge of the battery. Whenever I recharge the tablet, the battery level starts out below 70%. A 100% charge on the device will last all day. I clocked the recharging speed today, and found that the tablet recharges an additional 18% of the full charge every 75 minutes.
On October 3, 2018 I woke up and went to get my Samsung tablet from the shelf where I put the tablet to recharge (shown below). I noticed the recharging cord was unplugged. I thought to myself, "Silly me, I must have failed to stick in the recharging cord last night." But when I turned on the tablet, I found it was 98% charged. The tablet had been on all of the previous day, and its power level should have dropped to below 70%. So how could it possibly have regained 98% of its charge when I found the recharging cord unplugged? No one else uses the Samsung tablet, my wife and daughters having their own devices with equivalent functionality.
On October 24, 2018 I woke up and went to get my Samsung tablet from the shelf where I put the tablet to recharge. The recharging cord was plugged in, but the Samsung tablet had only 47% of its charge. It should have got a 100% recharge with overnight recharging. The next day (October 25) I woke up and went to get my Samsung tablet from the shelf where I put the tablet to recharge. I saw a charging indicator saying the tablet was 84% charged. It should have been 100% recharged after an overnight charge. You could possibly explain the October 24 case by imagining that the recharging cord was not plugged in all the way into the power strip. But the October 25 case cannot be explained in such a way, as the tablet was clearly plugged in all the way (and also after a day's use my battery level slips down to below 70%).
On November 8, 2018 I woke up and went to get my Samsung tablet from the shelf where I put the tablet to recharge. The recharging cord was plugged in, but the Samsung tablet had only 42% of its charge. It should have got a 100% recharge with overnight recharging.
On November 11, 2018 I woke up and went to get my Samsung tablet from the shelf where I put the tablet to recharge. The recharging cord was plugged in, but the Samsung tablet had only 55% of its charge. It should have got a 100% recharge with overnight recharging.
On today November 27 2018 I woke up and went to get my Samsung tablet from the shelf where I put the tablet to recharge. The recharging cord was plugged in, but the Samsung tablet had only 95% of its charge. It should have got a 100% recharge with overnight recharging. I had plugged in the charger at about 1:20 AM when its battery charge was below 70%, and woke up at about 11:00 AM (getting about 9 hours of sleep). Based on the recharging rate I measured today, the Samsung tablet should have been fully recharged by 5:00 AM.
You might try to explain some of these anomalies by imagining overnight power failures, but such a power failure would always produce an anomaly on my plugged-in alarm clock (which would either have a flashing 12:00 or a time that was wrong by several hours). Such an alarm clock anomaly was never seen on any of these nights, ruling out such a possibility. During all these incidents the Samsung tablet was password-protected, ruling out the possibility that anyone else in my apartment would have used the device for any appreciable amount of time while I was sleeping. On none of these nights did I wake up early, and the Samsung tablet always had 8 hours on the shelf. I always turn off the machine when recharging it.
Below is the setup under which recharging occurred on all these nights. Under such a setup there is no possibility of someone at night accidentally disrupting the charging, as the charging cord is away from all foot paths, between a sofa and a table. The power strip is directly plugged into an outlet that cannot be neutralized by any wall switch. 97% of the time I see no such anomalies, and find the tablet 100% charged in the morning.

When Lights Turn on by Themselves
Today I woke up about 10:00 AM alone in my apartment and noticed a light in my daughter's bedroom was on. The light is a type that you can turn on by pressing the lampshade. I pressed the lampshade several times to turn the light off. But at about 2:00 PM I noticed that the light had turned back on. There was no one else in the apartment. We have had the light for years, and this is the first time I've seen such a thing.
Could I have remembered wrongly about turning the light off? I had taken some pictures of the bedroom about noon (without walking into the bedroom), and one of them (shown below) showed the light off.
By comparison, this is how the lamp looks when it is on.
So clearly the lamp was off at noon, and the lamp somehow managed to turn on by itself between noon and about 2:00 PM, even though no one entered the room during that time.
This is one of quite a few cases I have experienced of lights turning on by themselves. On January 6, 2016 a lamp about a meter from me turned on by itself. The lamp was a very sturdy lamp requiring a firm press of a switch to turn on, and the lamp was directly plugged into the wall.
Another case I have experienced of a light turning on by itself is the fact that I have 16 times observed the flashlight at the back of my Samsung tablet device turning on by itself, all at times when the tablet device was turned off. I know of no way to turn on the flashlight at the back of the device when the tablet is turned off.
Click here to read about very many similar spooky incidents.
Postscript: Besides getting all these cases of things turning on by themselves mysteriously, I also get many cases of things turning off by themselves mysteriously. In recent months there have been more than 15 cases of my sound machine turning off by itself mysteriously, one case of a well-charged phone turning off by itself, and six cases of my Samsung tablet turning off by itself even though it was well-charged.

Like Some Invisible Hand at Work
Today there were further incidents in the long series of spooky events around my living quarters. The lesser incident was when my sound machine (which I leave on during the day to help drown out street noise) inexplicably turned off by itself.
A more interesting event occurred about 10:40 PM. I was sitting on the couch, alone in my living room watching a cable TV show; and my two TV remotes were both well to the left of my body. The black remote was facing the TV and a meter from me, and the gray remote was about a foot from me, pointing 90 degrees away from the TV. Suddenly the TV sound turned off. I used my gray remote to change channels, to make sure it wasn't something with the channel I was watching. The sound was off for all stations.
I reached over three feet to my left, and checked the volume, using the volume control on the black remote. The TV showed that the sound had been turned all the way down. Below is how it looked after I increased the volume a bit (the TV still making no noise), moving it from a level of 0 to about 1.
But the TV will never make intelligible sound (as it did a few minutes earlier, loud and clear) unless this volume setting is much higher, and I normally have it at a level of about 23, as shown below:
Somehow the TV volume suddenly turned down from a level of about 23 to a level of 0. This would have required 23 button presses on the volume control of one of my remotes, but both remotes were to the left of my body when the TV sound turned off. (There is a "Mute" button on one remote, but that produces a "Muting" indicator on the TV screen that was not displayed on the TV, and does not change the volume level you see when you bring up the Volume control shown above.)
A few seconds after noticing the strange turning down of the TV volume, I suddenly noticed a dollar bill lying in the middle of my empty carpet (right in front of the TV) which I hadn't noticed before, even though I had been watching TV for more than two hours. No one else had been in the living room for those two hours.
