You know over the weekend I sat and realized how many electrical appliances have failed since I've lived here, and in my honest opinion it's been far more than I've ever experienced in my life time. The reason I'm posting this is because apart from the odd noise, and shadow (see Victorian Man In Black post) and just odd sensations, things again have quietened down.
But the other afternoon I noticed my Dolby system was making a really unusual sound, it was like an odd interference, which to my ear at a distance sounded like a crackle, it was coming from the front two speakers, but not the center one. I figured the system just needed an unplug, and reset. So I turned it all off and went away to make a cup of tea, to then come back and turn it all back on. Well clearly this action made it worse as now the two rear speakers were also making a really unusual sound, but this time rather than switching it off I decided to turn it up louder than before. I ran a few test sounds through the system, just simple tones to try and clear it, but they all sounded really distorted, but oddly I could just hear this background noise, it was very faint but I could hear it.
I placed my ear really close to front speakers, and to my shock it actually sounded like a voice, it was like sometimes when I pick up the phone here, it sounds like I have a shared line?, although I don't. I couldn't make out any clear words, but the sense of hearing what I thought was voices actually sent a real chill down my spine.
I was interrupted with the land line phone ringing, and one of the features I have is caller display, yet this time it just said "Call", so I answered it thinking it would be a telephone sales call, but it was nothing. Again because I get so many calls like this I didn't really think anything of it. But it wasn't until I went back to my small office/studio that it just all felt really odd.
When I look back over the last couple of years I try to add up all of the electrical things that have failed, I think I've around 3 laptops, 1 mobile phone, 1 domestic phone, a couple of computer components, a games console, and the list goes on, but they have all failed, and all have been new to moving here, it just seems an awful lot.
