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.

Does sound a bit spooky! Does the doughboy light cover, cover the light sensor at all? I had a pumpkin head and a snowman head for my lamppost light, but the light fixture was just the wrong size a and that meant the cover was messing up the sensor. The head would shift with the wind, heck, with the breeze and the light would be on or off at the wrong time.....OR, you have Gozer hanging around in your yard.....eek!!!!!
