We've got one weird ghost. A couple of days ago we ran out of poopy bags. For the dog not us. I looked all over the pantry for the unopened packed I could of sworn we had. They were no where, I thought maybe they got used up and we just didn't remember. My dog poops alot, I swear that she poops more than she eats but I wasn't all that concerned because we still had plenty of plastic grocery bags to use and I would just buy some more poopy bags next time I went to the store. No biggee. Well, yesterday I went into the pantry and there was an new packet sitting in the extra food bowl on top of the Milk Bones box, where they're usually at-it's a small pantry. I figured that hubby bought some at the store until this morning he asked me "when did I get the poopy bags?" Well I know that I'm usually in a confused state but I know darn well that I didn't get them. I told him that I thought he bought them, he said no, he had found them right next to the Milk Bones box and tossed them into the bowl. I had searched all over that pantry!! I had moved that box out of the way to make sure they weren't stuck behind it, I searched all through the stash of grocery bags to make sure they hadn't gotten mixed in there. If they were stuck in that pantry somewhere they most definately were no where near that box of bones. The only explanatin I can come up with is that the ghost had a hand in it. What kind of ghost messes with poopy bags??? Why can't I have a normal ghost that does normal ghost stuff like rattling chains in the hallway or knocking on the walls? Talk about embarrasing.

That is a strange thing to come up missing Ghosts seem to really enjoy hiding things. I think they enjoy the confusion and turmoil it causes! Since you had used up the old pack, your ornery houseguest probably took them to get your attention. At least he was polite enough to give them back before you bought another pack!!

Yes, confusion and turmoil, that's exactly it. My ghostie seems to specialize in trying to make me think I've lost my mind. George (ghostie) once hid Molly's eye drops and after I searched the appartment top to bottom I finally found them in the hall cupboard. In January I went to wrap my dad's b-day present and it disappeared while I went to get the tape. I had left it on the back of the couch and after a frantic search found it in the coat closet on the floor behind a box. Both the tape and the wrapping paper were in the closet but I know for certain I left the present on the couch when I went back in to get the tape. It's always little things like that. Make's me want to pull my hair out sometimes.

As far as I know their aren't people poopy bags but I figured I should clarify just in case.

I am still trying to figure out WHY they take things we might need, Here it is a BRAND NEW NEVER OPENED tin of pumkin pie spices. but they do take other things also. I really think they have a good time, laughing while we are thinking we are going crazy. hang in there. just think at least you don't have some of mine, though i can send you a few. LOL> JOKING I AM JOKING>

Thanks for clarifying the poopy bag situation. I know I was confused.

Well, how silly! Yup... must have been trying to get a rise outta ya. I didn't know George took so many things! Shame on him.

We've had this happen also. (Not with poopy bags, Renee, your ghost is just special!)
I've had household items go missing inexplicably. Lately, it was aluminum foil and a new box of rice. What the heck is a ghost going to do with either one of those things?!

Renee, you would think your ghostie would take the poopy along with the poopy bags. I think he or she owes you one!

I am so glad that we don't the problem of missing objects turning up in weird places. Jimmy would never believe it was'nt me being forgetful.

Jeannie If the ghost takes the poopy too who know's where it'll turn up. Sure don't want to find that in the pantry. Most of the time when this stuff happens I'm not sure that it wasn't me absentmindedly putting something in an odd place, make's me think I'm loosing my mind. But once in a while something happens like the poopy bags that I'm positive wasn't me, I suppose I should be greatfull for those times, reminds me that I'm still relatively sane.

Oops, forgot about the "returning" part. Hope I did't give them any ideas!

Renee,
Now why would you want a nice normal ghost??? Think of all the excitement this one causes!! You have to give him credit for being really creative in the things he takes!! I've had my share of weird disapperances myself, last summer I the disappering black bikini bottoms. Still makes me mad just to think about it!!

Carrie a thought just came to mind, perhaps your ghost is having a McGuyver moment and needed those items to build some type of device to get to the otherside???

Miranda, black binkini bottoms?!

Your ghostie, is either a perv, crossdresser or a topless beach fan.
