So, I have an old framed picture of my grandad which I keep on a small filing cabinet. The cabinet's only for storage so I very seldom use it.
I originally had the picture so it was facing directly forward - but began to notice over time it always seemed to be facing into the room. Like it has turned 45 degrees in a clockwise direction. For months I just assumed I was accidentally bumping into the cabinet or something, and this was moving it. Then one day I noticed it had shifted around again and was facing back into the room. I was absolutely certain this time I had been nowhere near it all day. So, a few weeks ago, I straightened it again one morning and kept an eye an on it throughout the day. I was tiptoeing around it and making sure I didn’t knock the cabinet or anything.
Sure enough over the course of the day it was very slowly turning clockwise from its original position until eventually it was facing where I sit. I have noticed it happening ever since. Sometimes it will have very noticeably moved in just a few hours. Other times it will have turned very slowly across a few days. In fact, it has actually happened again today. I straightened the picture in the morning about 9 and now at 4 it has turned 45 degrees or so and is facing towards me. I am in the same room but about 10 or 12 feet away right on the other side. I very rarely walk immediately past the picture or open/close the cabinet. I’m on a main road but the house is set back from traffic. There’s a small pen on the cabinet which doesn’t move. Nothing else around the cabinet moves at all.
Rationally it must be me moving around the house that somehow does it. But I am now very conscious of being careful around the picture and it still moves. It really is baffling me!
