Yeah, the person I was talking about hearing on the phone has had some emergency health scares after that started. But also, I haven't felt well and it's completely different, and before all of that I noticed an old injury on my pup starting to flair up and luckily took care of it in time before it got infected again. It seemed there was a lot of illness around.. plants outside too started dying much before the end of the season. I was thinking that explanation about residual energy sounded exactly like what happened the other night but then started to consider that there were some pretty dark things happening suddenly and wondering if there was more to it. It doesn't seem like those mimicking things you described at all. Don't know much about paranormal things.. but I thought if someone got on here and said mimics or something like that use residual energy or creating it then I'd be like ah that's it! But I'm sort of feeling like the explanations I've tried just sound too out there
