Appearing bowl of water?

Question

It sounds crazy, but I keep finding a bowl of water in my kitchen. It appears about 1/4" full or less. It could be any bowl in the cupboard. No one in my household is doing this apparently. We go outside, come back in, and it is there. It has stopped appearing as much as it was. We do not have to be outside for this, just out of the room, or have our backs turned. Any ideas anyone?

Answer 1

In this instance it is an older male household member being a prankster. Start having HIM wash and put away the bowl and your troubles will be over.

Answer 2

Somebody is leaving a 1/4 full bowl of water in places when your not looking, dont know why but its the obvious explanation.

Probably not ghosts, aliens, pixies or big foots. It might just be the loch ness monster though, he does that sort of stuff all the time.

Answer 3

Because it's summertime and the roaches are using it as a public swimming pool.  They need to have fun too.

Answer 4

you could have a poltergeist in my opinion. that's just a guess. that's what this sounds like though.

Answer 5

If you can rule out anyone else doing it - usually at the speed it happens, then you most likely have a poltergeist.

In this case it may be someone who used to live there - and had a cat so doing this would be automatic.

I would go with Roberto's answer, and get a team to visit free to do a vigil, or loan you equipment.

Answer 6

Maybe you should set up a camera in your kitchen.

If you catch somone doing it, you could give them a good slap, but if you catch evidence of a ghost, it would be pretty cool.

Answer 7

I was going to say maybe there's a hole in the roof right above the kitchen cabinets.

Are more than one bowl filling with water?

Are the shelves around the bowls wet? Like water splashed out when it was being filled?

Next time this happens, have a container ready and get the water tested.

If it's the same water as your tap water, then I would lean more towards someone in the household as pulling the prank.

Answer 8

Sounds like you have a spirit attempting to make its presence known, or pass some kind of message to someone living in your house.

It would be a good idea to look into the history of your house if you can find any information relating to it, or even ask family members or neighbours if the house has been occupied by your family for some time.

I used to be a complete sceptic as far as spirits,ghosts....etc were concerned, but after spending three nights in a run down old hospital, which used to be a municipal poor house in the 1800's, i am now a firm believer.

During the time we spent there we encountered a similar phenomena in an experiment set up to try and prove spirits could communicate.

As you have stated things only happened when we left the room, but on each occasion when we went back, we found that "trigger obejects" ie a cd on a piece of paper with a pencil line round it, had moved.

It may be worth trying something like this in your house, and if successful maybe consider contacting a local paranormal group or medium, who should be happy to investigate further, and hopefully come up with some reasons or answers as to why this spirit is trying to communicate.  

Answer 9

Real Spooky!

A ghost maybe?

Answer 10

Someone is pranking you.Apparently with success.

Answer 11

my first question is this, is the bowl still in the cabinet or is it being removed from the cabinet and being placed on the counter? Second if it's in the cabinet and your taking it out with water, check for leaks or condensation. i really like the idea of putting a camera up. you need a nanny cam and you cannot tell your family you are doing it. Good luck!
