Awwwrkk!
I have a poltergeist!
Again!
OK, OK, last couple of times I had a poltergeist it manifested itself in a) stopped watches and b) blown lightbulbs. But just now I realized I couldn’t hear myself think, so I went and turned the volume down on my CD player… and watched in horror as it turned itself back up again. I took the knob and turned the volume down to 3, and stared as the display showed it turning itself back up to 10. After freaking out and popping the batteries from the remote, it happened twice more and I just shut it off.
Poltergeist! Poltergeist! (Runs in circles)
What do I do?! Does anybody know a good medium?
Have you considered invisible space leprechauns? I don’t know for sure whether they exist…but I certainly feel that they should exist.
This video confirms my suspicions:

Well, I’ll keep an eye out for someone resembling the ‘amateur sketch,’ that’s for sure.
Stupid industrial designers.
Me: Poltergeist! Poltergeist! Poltergeist!
Al: Is that the boombox you got a couple years ago?
Me: Yes! Poltergeist!
Al: Hm.
Me: !!
Al: The spring on the volume knob must’ve given way.
…Ah. Kid may be onto something there.
I totally believe you have a poltergeist. When I was in Junior High I saved up for a CD player. I came home one weekend and even though the power showed it was off the CD lid was vibrating. I unplugged it and then plugged it in and it continued to do random strange things like turn itself on and off. I then unplugged it and it still did weird things. I banished it to the basement storage then all was right again in the world. So creepy!
