I own a coffee shop in Southern Indiana. I have a room in the back where I spend most of the week. I had just bought this place and after a few weeks I realized how strange it really was.

　　The first time that I noticed some strange happenings was about a week after I had opened the shop. It was getting late and I was closing the shop for the night. I heard something back in my room. I thought maybe it was just my cat playing with one of my feather pens until I heard a pop, like the sound a champagne bottle makes when the cork pops out. I inched my way toward the door and heard it again. I picked up a metal ruler on the counter and swung open the door. My cat flew between my feet and nearly scared me into a heart attack.

　　I stepped into the bedroom and looked around, but there seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary. I went around the corner into the bathroom and saw that my medicine cabinet was open. There was spilled peroxide all over the floor and aspirin spread all around in the sink. The shampoo bottle head had been unscrewed completely and spilled on the floor, seeping into the mat. I shut the door and searched the rest of the place, which seemed normal enough.

　　我在南印第安纳州开了间咖啡屋，咖啡屋后面还有间屋子，我就在那度过一周的大部分时间。我才刚刚买下这个地方，但是仅仅几周过后我就意识到了这里是多么的不寻常。

　　我第一次感到有些异样是在咖啡屋开业的一个星期以后。那天的晚些时候，我关了店门，这时听到后面的屋子传来一阵声音。开始我以为是猫咪在玩鹅毛笔，但是随后我听见砰的一声，就好像我们开香槟拔出瓶塞时发出的声音一样。我蹑手蹑脚的朝屋门走过去，这个声音又发出了一次。于是我从柜台拿起一把铁尺，举在手里，推开了门。猫咪嗖的一下从我两腿之间窜过去，吓得我差点犯了心脏病。

　　我走进卧室，朝四下里张望，没看见有什么异常。转个弯进了卫生间，才发现医药箱被打开了，过氧化氢撒了一地，阿司匹林给倒进了水池里。洗发水的瓶盖拧开了，都流到了地上，渗进地毯里。我关上门，又检查了其他地方，看上去一切都正常。
