So, how do I explain this one?

I had a shower last night. Now, this is going to sound crazy but something felt odd in there. The air was heavy and I had an overbearing feeling come over me. To be honest, I didn't think too much of it at the time. The shower had been running for about a minute and I just put it down to moisture and heat in the air, since I like to have my showers hot. The boyfriend and I love our showers so hot in fact that we keep the temperature knob set on high. We never alter it. Ever. The only knob we ever turn is the water pressure knob, which also acts as the on/off knob.

I had my shower as normal. When I'd finished, I turned the on/off knob and got out as normal. I wrapped the towel around me and felt a slap across the back of my thigh. However, I think I can explain this and have put it down to the towel whipping me as I wrapped it round me. So, for now, let's ignore that.

This morning, my boyfriend asked me if I'd had a cold shower last night. I said no, and asked why. He said that when he got in the shower it was freezing cold. He realised why. The temperature knob had been turned to cold. Now, in order to go from hot to cold, you have to turn the knob from right to left, about 180 degrees (a half circle). It sticks in the middle a bit, so you have to give it a hard tug to shift it. I actually tested it out. There's no way I could have caught the knob accidentally, partly because of how hard it is to move it all the way across, and partly because there's about an 8 inch gap between the two knobs.

Can anyone please think of a rational explanation for this?

My theories:

Maybe I was sleepwalking during the night (not likely, since the only time I ever sleepwalked was when I was a small child).

Or:

My boyfriend played a trick on me (possible, but this is not in his nature.)

no doubt someone will come up with an explanation but I cant think of one
unless you or your boyfriend turned that one by mistake and not realising you had done Confused

We've never turned it before. We've never had any reason to. Besides, had I turned that knob instead of the on/off knob I'd have known about it because the shower would still be on and run cold, and I always turn the shower off before I get out.

I really can't explain this. At all. I believe in ghosts, but I always try and think of logical explanations first. And with this, I just can't. I've been going through it so much, and I've thought back to when I got out of the shower, and I can clearly remember what I did.

Either way it's not substantial enough to worry about.

Hi,
As a person who lives in a house that sees many strange happenings all of the time, I suspect that it is what your intuition tells you....Your house is haunted.

Shower taps cant move themselves.

Perhaps you just absent mindedly turned it, regardless if youve never done it before or not.

I dont think its amityville just yet.

Hi, I think someone (alive not dead) turned the knob.
