Unexplained Sparks
by Paul W.

Something strange happened today that I, at first, put down to myself seeing things. I was sitting in my room, a few yards away from my window at an angle, when suddenly I saw something happen in a split second. A small bolt of bright white light with a trail raced through the gap between the curtains over the window, hit what I think was the laptop I was sat at (happened very fast) and back at the window. It was almost like a line of pure white light, moving in an impossibly straight line, at an impossibly fast speed. I thought nothing of it and carried on.

A few hours later my mother came into my room and mentioned something strange that had happened: they had been in the front room, when something - what she described as a bright light - shot in through the window, hit the door frame, then shot straight back out. This obviously sounds like an identical incident that happened at a similar time. The two windows in question are on opposite walls at different points and heights in the house so it couldn't have been the same incident.

I also had a strange experience when I was younger. I can guarantee there was nothing on the floor in my room at the time, when I suddenly heard clap - like a large bubble popping loudly - and a spark, about waist height, in front of the bedroom door. There was the sound of something thudding on the floor, and I looked to see a toy - that I'd liken to the kind of things you'd find in Kinder Eggs, I can't remember exactly what - laying directly under the spot, a bit blackened. I have no explanation for either one of these incidents.
