Here's an unexplained mystery.

Every New Year's Eve, Mrs. Z has confetti glitter poppers for the kids to pull. The glitter confetti gets everywhere. I vacuum them up the next day - and I'm very thorough. Even so, we'll be finding glitter confetti around the house for the rest of the year.

So the mystery is this: Are they all hiding somewhere, or is there just a mating pair and we're finding the offspring?

They are hiding, definitely.

The same way utensils and glasses and cups just decide and up and leave, forever gone into the horizon.

Well they're very fast, then. I can leave a room for 15 minutes and find new ones when I get back.

I observed that phenomenon too. Usually after I'd done all the washing and drying up in the staff kitchen.
I'd go back in to make a cup of tea 15 minutes later and lo and behold there were new dirty ones all over the place.

My unexplained mysteries happen when I am asleep/ just waking.
I am occasionally woken by the bed shaking, by someone shaking me awake, by someone calling (even shouting) my name or knocking on my door. None of these things have actually occurred.

Rather than believe I am the suject of a haunting, possession or poltergeist I accept that in my half-awake state I am simply confused or subject to mixed signals between my brain and my body. Sometimes I decide my brain is deliberately playing tricks on me because it doesn't like the fact I'm sleeping alone, but that's even more fanciful than ghosties

You've got to break their life cycle. Try a product with a CGR (confetti Growth Regulator)

CGR gives you man-boobs.

Think I'll pass on that, then.
