I'm beginning to feel a little spooked! This weather radio thing happens to you and something unusual happened to us last night.

Yesterday we placed a Halloween decoration over our lamplight that looks like the giant doughboy in Ghostbusters. When it got dark the light came on at the normal time then.... for the first time it's ever happened, the light started switching to on and off on it's own about every 30 seconds or so and it has consistently done so without variation.

Today we went out and I temporarily removed the decoration and checked the light bulbs. Only one looked like it might be going so I replaced it and reattached doughboy!

Tonight at the bewitching moment, the light went on at the normal time then resumed the strange behavior of switching on and off!

Now you might think I'm getting a little premature in telling a Halloween story, but I'm not. It would made a good ghost story but this is really happening without explanation and if it stops after Halloween when we remove the decoration I'm really gonna start believing in ghosts.

Has anyone else ever seen a lamplight behave like this at any time? It's the first time I've ever seen it happen anywhere.
