The incidences that I am about to describe are probably nothing and probably have logical explanations. I'm sure someone with knowledge in the electrical field could come up with an explanation of why these events took place. Anyways the happenings are of an interesting nature and are somewhat startling. The events took place in a townhouse that I previously lived in for about 3 years. On several occasions I would wake up in the middle of the night by the sound of my television set being turned on. On one occasion I woke about 3am in the morning for some unknown reason. I immediately laid back down again to fall back asleep again when the television set turned on. This was different from the previous occasions because this time I witnesses the television turn on and there was no way I could dismiss or pass it off with the explanation that I had mistakenly left it on before falling asleep. Up to this point I had told nobody about the incidences. I was afraid they would think I was crazy. Then about a year after all these things had happened a last and final incident happened. It was about a month before I was to move out and relocate to another part of the state. It was about 11pm and I was sitting on my bed watching television with the lights off. My dog was also there with me asleep at the end of the bed. All of the sudden a lamp in the corner of my room clicked on and adjusted itself to its full illumination. My dog, which never pays attention to anything; stood up and began staring at the lamp for about 5 minutes. At this point I was so shaken up, I couldn't go near the lamp to turn it off. I decided rather to leave it on all night and turned it off  later the next morning. The next morning I also felt that I had to tell someone, so I told my girlfriend. She looked at me like I had made this up. So I never told anyone else after that. I'm sure that there may be some kind of power surge in my room that could have caused these things to happen. I'm not a firm believer in ghosts and spirits and I am kind of skeptical about stories that I have heard in the past. I still am skeptical about what I saw, I cant believe that anything other than a logical explanation like a electrical surge caused these things. But I known one thing is for certain. I did see these things happen in front of my own eyes.
