Experience description:

I had fallen asleep on the couch the night of my fathers death. About 2:00 AM

my boyfriend came out to see if I was ok. I got up and went to the bedroom. I was almost sleeping when I vaguely heard a noise but did nothing until my boyfriend asked me if I heard something. I sat up. He went to look . Then came back and said everything was ok.  Then he felt an urge to go check the back door again, this time I followed.  I stopped in the living room doorway and waited for him. While I stood there the computer came on and flickered three or four times and went off. Well it was OFF.

As I moved closer to it, I yelled to my boyfriend and asked him if he had turned the computer back on. He said no. Just as I got close and came around to see the monitor it flickered again. Three times.  Then went off. We stood there and waited for another time but it didn't happen again. As we were headed back toward the bedroom, he looked in a room that we use for storage. Some Rubbermaid storage containers had fallen over. These containers have edges (lips) that make them stackable-they shouldn't fall over.  The same thing happened two days later.  This time my photos that I had gathered of my dad were knocked over and scattered under the containers. I also heard his voice, very clearly, call my name.
