Lid Levitation?

 I continue to observe at irregular intervals spooky things happening where I live. You can read quite a few posts I have made about such events by using the link here.  A few days ago my Simplisafe home alarm device acted strangely. Whenever I turn off the alarm in the morning, I get a recorded voice saying, "Alarm off." But a few days ago when I turned off the alarm, the voice simply said, "Alarm." 

 I also get unpredictable results from recharging electronic devices overnight. I recharge my laptop computer and my I-Pad overnight. In the morning I often find them with random levels of charge, anything from 100% to nearly 0%. 

This morning something very strange happened in my bathroom. After using the toilet, I left the bathroom, and at about the moment I got to my bed, I heard a loud recognizable noise. It was the sound of the toilet lid falling down from a raised position. At first I thought, "I must have just somehow positioned the lid so that it might fall down about five seconds later."  But I did tests in the morning showing that such an explanation does not work. 

Tests I did showed there are only 4 possible "lid states" of the toilet:

(1) A "both lids up" state that is stable.

(2) A "both lids down" state that is stable.

(3) A "lower lid down and upper lid up" state that is stable. 

(4) Some state in which either lid is neither fully up nor fully down,  which is an extremely unstable state that will always cause that lid to fall down within one second. 

So how could the toilet lid have loudly fallen down in an empty bathroom about five seconds after I had left the bathroom? There seems to be no natural explanation.  It was as if the toilet lid had briefly levitated. 

In the 19th century a host of witnesses would report levitations in their house. The most common report would be of table levitations.  Endless seance witnesses would report tables either rising on two legs or fully levitating in the air.  Very many times witnesses would report no one was touching the table when such events occurred. Such observations seeming to indicate spirit manifestations have been senselessly censored from the pages of this century's history books and science books.  You can read many accounts of such observations (often reported simultaneously by three or more named witnesses) in my  "Spookiest Years" series  (here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here,  here, here and here and here).

Postscript:  On June 27, 2024 in the very early morning I heard a strange sound in my bathroom, unlike any I can recall hearing at night in that bathroom. It was too dark to look around, so I wrote down my observation, and went back to sleep After waking, I looked around to investigate, and saw something that seemed to explain what had caused the sound. A plastic bolt cap at the bottom of my toilet had been moved from its normal position. What I saw was what we see below. 

I always keep this cap on top of the metal piece, to prevent damage to that piece. I tried picking up the cap, and dropping it a few inches. It sounded like the strange sound I had heard. There is no way my foot could have produced the displacement of this cap, which requires a lifting of it. 

A few seconds after restoring the cap to its normal position (which covers the bolt), I thought to myself: that must have been what caused the strange sound -- the cap must have been mysteriously lifted. At that very instant I heard the strange sound again, just exactly as if the cap had again been mysteriously levitated.
