An Apport?

 Last night I was lying in bed alone, with my right hand closed, when I suddenly got the suspicion that a hair had appeared in my closed hand.  I walked to the bathroom, and turned on the light, to see what was in my hand. It was a hair 14 inches long, more than twice as long as any hair on my head. The hair is shown below. 


I have a previous post describing some similar cases. You can read it here. In that post I stated this:

"As of February 4, 2020, I have seen a total of 24 cases in which I suddenly noticed a very long detached hair on my body, typically in my hand or on my arm.  The average length of such hairs has been about 14 inches, much longer than my own hair (which does not get longer than  about 6 inches). In all of these cases I was in my apartment and either at least 20 feet away from any other person or in a room by myself with the door closed."

In parapsychology they use the term "apport" to refer to objects that seem to appear "out of nowhere."  The literature includes reports of appearances more dramatic than any of my observation reports with a tag of "apport" (which you can read here), although some of my posts with a tag of "apport" involve things much heavier than hairs.  You can read about some of the more dramatic cases reported by others by reading my five posts here

One of the main type of spooky things I have observed recently is a very odd phenomenon involving rubber bands. I keep a few rubber bands on the ledge in front of my TV set. On quite a few days in the past few months (well over five different days), I have woke up, walked into the room with the TV, and was surprised to find a rubber band on the floor in front of the TV.  At such a time I will think to myself: I know that wasn't there when I went to bed.  

On June 23, at three different times of the day I noticed a rubber band on the floor near where my feet had been. Each time I was puzzled, and asked myself: how could that possibly have got there? Each band was immediately picked up and put back on the ledge where I keep such bands (I always immediately pick up any rubber band I see on the floor). Given all the photos I have taken of mysterious orbs, I wonder whether there is any relation between them and these rubber band anomalies. An open rubber band may have a circular shape like an orb.
