Three days ago (6-19-2014)i started smelling a burning plastic smell. it got very strong and my husband smelled it also. we started searching around the house looking for the source. my husband went out to the solar shed to make sure everything was ok and I went into the kitchen where the smell was the strongest. I happened to see the glow of fire at the bottom of our electric/propane oven I tried to turn it off and couldn't. I then called for my husband. the oven had turned on by itself at a temp higher than it can go but was not really on. no lights indicating it was on and the back was extremely hot. we unplugged it then plugged it back in and the oven was fine.

Yesterday morning (6-21-2014) while getting ready for work, I was in the kitchen getting water for our dogs.  My husband was in bathroom.  A snow globe of my mothers was sitting on a shelf and started playing music by itself. My husband came from the bathroom and we both started to watch it. it was playing at a normal pace usually it starts really fast then slows the tune down as it winds down. I picked it up to see if it was turning on the winder, and it was turning like someone had turned it all the way.

Almost every day since my mothers death that I am at work I find a dime on the ground inside or outside. I have to add that 11 months before my mother passed, my sister passed and the rosebush I planted for her keeps dying and coming back to life right now it is gone like it has been eaten down by dogs or rabbits. so I cant really say which experience is from mother, sister or maybe both.
