weird occurrence
octoberose:
Hello All,
It's snowy and cold here as Colorado should be this time of year. I love the contrasts in seasons that God brings about.
We recently moved- we sold our little house (thank you to those who prayed with me for that) and bought another one up the street. Every house has it quirks and sounds so we are getting use to the sounds in this new house. My husband told me tonight that a couple of nights ago he was awakened at 1 am to the shower in our bathroom suddenly turning on. He jumped up and turned it off. I slept through the whole thing. He just thought it was weird. I think it's very weird. I asked him if he could have possibly dreamed it and he said his hair got wet turning off the water!
I know as you do that ghosts are not an option, but what do you think? Can showers spontaneously turn on? Should I be praying to rid the house of a spirit that should not be here? I almost put this post in Prayers, but I think of this as a Biblical wisdom kind of question.
Everyone else I know will blame a ghost so I have to talk to you all about this and not everyone else.
Dave in Tenn:
All plumbing fixtures in a house are designed to either stem or allow the flow of water under pressure. All mechanical devices are subject to intermittent, recurrent, or catastrophic failure. Change the shower head. I can't say for sure, but it's possible you have a shower head which also acts as a valve. If so, make sure you shut down the flow with the faucets and not with the shower head. If not, you may have a bad faucet. I'm gonna go out on a limb here--a mechanical failure is far more likely to be the cause than an apparition. Water is powerful.

Agree with Dave but if you do have ghosts at least they are clean ghosts ;D

This is a strange thread,
I do heating and air-conditioning for a living. No such thing as a faucet turning itself on or off, it needs to be physically turned on or off.
I seen leaky faucets due to a washer that has become brittle, sometimes a washer in a faucet can even disintegrate and no longer can stop the flow of water, in that case shutting off the faucet will not stop the flow of water.
(A) your husband is dreaming or ( B ) a family member forgot to shut off the faucet or ( C ) its neither ( A ) or ( B ) and your left with a mystery but in any event all is of God and put your trust in God and the mystery goes away. ;)

Er - really? While your shower most probably has a logical explanation, I don't recall anywhere saying that ghosts definitely do not exist.
