I'd guess one of the members of your family lobbed the chop as a joke.. maybe they'd just seen "Poltergeist" with the very disturbing chop scene.....

Now, by ay chance does your family own a large cat? I'm envisioning some small, hairy family member jumping up on the dining table and onto the edge of a plate, catapulting (no pun intended) a pork [something] into the air and into the next room, and everybody's attention being attracted by the sound at the same time.

I wonder whether you fall partially asleep easily and don't know it. Many of your incidents sound like a mix of dream material and reality.
Great stories! Thanks.

The Rhind Mathematical Papyrus of Ancient Egypt
The Rhind Mathematics Papyrus is the most extensive mathematical source book surviving from ancient Egypt. It is not a theoretical essay but a series of practical problems encountered by Egyptians in everyday life. It contains eighty four problems concerned with numerical operations, practical problems solving and geometric shapes.
Using practical mathematics and ancient scripts from everyday situations visitors can learn about Egyptian society and way of life.
The papyrus forms the centrepiece of an exhibition that include fascinating artefacts from our own collection as well as other museums in the South West.
The papyrus is on loan courtesy of the British Museum's Partnership UK scheme, supported through the generosity of the Dorset Foundation and the Golsoncott Foundation.

By then I had convinced myself that I had been visited by a spirit or ghost the last time I was there, and was laying in bed praying that nothing strange would happen this time, when at that very moment I felt someone blow right into my ear from maybe 2 inches away :shock: (I could feel the wind and hear their breath, but I was completely alone in the middle of the room!) The hairs went up all over my body and I immediately froze in shock and closed my eyes scared of what I may see if they were opened! A minute or so later I found the courage to move and burried myself under the covers like a scared child!!! Hee hee.. Crazy, but I swear it really happened!!

I have had a few paranormal (or what could be classed as such) experiences that I feel are worth sharing.
ghostkissedivory said:Hello fellow Californian
I apologize if you discussed this previously, but have you had any paranormal experiences, especially those that would be of regional interest to Californians?
Thank you for taking the time to respond Elsheva -- talk soon.

Napoleonic experience? What's that?I've been inside the Great Pyramid with only three friends, no other visitors and no guide or supervision.
Alas, it was not by night. It was 45⁰c outside and lord knows how hot inside; I was dripping wet when we left.
And no 'Napoleonic experience' occurred.

Did you get chance to climb mount Sinai at night? I've never seen so many stars.I've been inside the Great Pyramid with only three friends, no other visitors and no guide or supervision.
