Disturbing meat thing

[Pizdzius]

From time to time, once a month or two, I find a bits of meat inside of my house, near the doors on the floor. I mean, wtf? I don't even eat that kind of meat. Looks like bacon, it's dried a bit, not rotting, but before I go to sleep, there's nothing there. I don't have any animals, rodents, not even insects cause I really HATE cockroaches and I care for my house in that way. So last time I noticed that part of the meat was stuck in the closed door like someone was trying to shove it inside. The thing is - my door is reinforced (Gerda doors!) and cannot be slightly opened just by shoving meat inside. And today I found the meat meter away from doors. What. the. fuck?

I am more than sure I don't carry the meat in on my boots cause I use the wiper. Seriously :looking: you guys ever heard of something like that?

[-Edge-]

Pijaki? You should see them outside my place at night in rage that they have nowhere to sleep. But that's indeed disturbing.

You don't have any openings in the brama do you :P ? Sounds to me like someone might just be pushing the meat through under the door, possibly with a metal rod, as a prank or something. You should try to watch it happen one night (If you have the energy and patience xD)

You're too young to get it ;P
I live on the 6th floor where there is no elevator. Not even drunk man would go that high, being exhausted as I am every day, to make a prank. I live in a loooong corridor and my doors are really reinforced. Nothing can get through my doors, they're secured with metal bars on every side. No one can push anything through them to my kitchen!

It would cause some noise, anything. I just find the frikkin' meat METER away from the doors near the kitchen. That's not a damn metal rod prank. Besides the meat is too big to push it through a tiny chink.

Lol xD

The only other explanation I could come up with then is that it falls from the ceiling. That makes no sense however, so I'm guessing something, (or someone) is living at your place.

Pleasant dreams ^^

P.S: Take a picture of the meat.

[Torg_Snowflake]

Does it also happen on weekends?

Pull an allnighter a friday night and see if you hear anything... practical aproach.

[Pizdzius]

No, ceiling is clear and white D: also, it happens during the night, days are random. Nothing is living at my place, it's always terribly quiet as I live under the roof and there is no little hole anywhere as the place I live in is new and when I moved in, everything was empty and fresh.

Only reasonable thing I could come up with was that I bring the damn meat on my boots but the meat is too big for that

The unreasonable thing is that I am a very classy cannibal lunatic and I close my door after night hunts. :¬¬:

Next time I will take a photo, for sure. I threw it into the garbage today as soon as I saw it. I need halp oO

[-Edge-]

It still doesn't make sense xD

If you were bringing it in with you wouldn't you have noticed right away, not when you wake up. Meat doesn't exactly stick to shoes or clothes either, its not like you come home everyday from skipping in a meadow of meat.

[backe]

Well, if I follow you, it could be similar to a prank me and my buddies used to pull back in college.

We used to freeze urine on a semi-flat saucer and slide it under the intended target's door. In the morning they would wake up to a puddle of pee in the center of their floor. Could be the same thing, only with frozen ground beef, perhaps?

[Pizdzius]

I don't even have to get out to find the meat. And I repeat, you can't slide anything under my door. They are reinforced http://www.lkkomfort.pl/drzwi_gerda_1.jpg they have those bars on top, bottom and on the side. You can't slide anything oO

[Mattdoesrock]

Simpsons did it.

[Snoid]

:P
another mistery to solve!

From first reading i'm thinking of mice or some other rodent. You say you have them under control, but i think they are survival creatures, adapted to human habbits. They can go through very little spaces, so little as the gap under the door, or others. They are very silent, too. And they will not use an obvious hole to enter/exit your home. (yeah, I know you think there are no holes, but they know your home better than you)

They could be stealing some food in some nearby house, and then using your home as a path to somewhere else. Maybe they live safe in your house, but finding their resources outside.

Of course I cant be sure, but for now it's the most plausible option to me. Is that or another kind of critter trying to survive.

Is it always the same kind of meat? Is it always inside your house? close to walls?

If I were you, i would construct a non lethal trap, or you can try to take a picture of it, with a webcam and some motion capture software, but only if you can figure out the most probably path it will take. You can spread a thin layer of flour too, to see if there is something moving around.

Another test I would do is to leave the next piece of meat untouched for one more day, and see if it dissapears. :)

Meat falling from ceiling (due to mice) is also plausible, but i thig those holes souhld be more obvious.

Less plausible options, in order of preference:
- Someone doing some voodoo to you.
- You have multiple personalities
- You are joking.

[Pizdzius]

Ok. first I am not joking :P I am terrified

Second, my whole apartment is covered with solid cement, and I repeat, only hole is the air hole under the ceiling, three meters above the ground in separate room. I keep my windows shut during autumn-winter season.

The meat is always near the door, in the middle of path. Varies from touching the door to meter away from the door.

No mice or rats - I used to have some in my mother's house, I remember how it's been and how I can discover having such creatures at my place, and believe you me - I know I don't have them ;) first of all, no poop, no noises, I left specially a trail of food near the fridge, not touched for two weeks. The house is clean. Only insect I found here was a ladybug brought in on my jacket ;P

I have a small camera but I don't have any possibility to tape it - the tape lasts not more than one hour ;/

Also, ceiling is solid and white, no holes, nowhere. :P Also the bathroom is sealed very tightly - believe me, this apartment was built by an irish man and I specially asked for checking out for any possible holes as I DESPISE cockroaches. eugh. (I could keep one as a pet but not in my damn kitchen D: )

The meat is always the same. Always dry, not wet, not fresh, not rotting either. Has some fat, like bacon. Clean.

And I am seriously looking for help, I tried so many things! Rodents was first thing I thought of, really! :C

[Dannboy]

I would try to spread some flour all over the kitchen and look for trails =P

[Pizdzius]

it happens too rarely ;/

[Dannboy]

Could you at least take a pictue of the meat next you you see it? Would be great :D
Weird stuff happening at your place tho >.<

[PT_DaAr_PT]

I just have one word: Paranormal-Meat-Activity.

[LoveleHaven]

Mouse? Mices? A lot of mices? A dozen of mices? They can go throught any little hoooole. I guarantee that.

[Pizdzius]

Will you guys leave the damn mice? I told you, it was the first thing that came up to my mind and after few months I managed to make myself sure there aren't any. I've really dealt with them before.

[Dannboy]

Ok, ok.
It was the Manbearpig. He sneaked into your house and placed the meat there. Are you happy?

[UmarilsStillHere]

...Goats? :sifflote:

[-Edge-]

I would still like to know more about the meat itself. I know its baconish with the fat, but exactly how does the meat look? How big are the pieces? Bacon bit finger nail size? Or keyboard key size :P (Horrible examples xD)

I'm guessing its in chunks, but is it sliced into cubes? Or is it like raw meat ripped from something? :sifflote:

Sorry for the stupid questions, but it really is just weird as hell.

[chris32finney]

Do you wake up in the morning to find a few local cows slaughtered? and is your girlfriend scared of silver bullets? does this happen only on a full moon? does she have hairy hands and sharp teeth? or are you just really careless with your bacon sandwiches when drunk?

[Pizdzius]

I don't have a girlfriend ;] and no, it happens not during the full moon, there are no werewolves ;P

first of all, the shapes vary, but the size is usually smaller than half of a hand.
Once it was perfect square, once it was smeared all over the door's bars, once it was just long chunk, today it was a round, squishy thing.

It looks like it was a raw meat but it dried up

[Mattdoesrock]

You see Piz, I meant to tell you this earlier, but it's Syd. You see he gets hungry when he treks over to Poland, and ywell... He's also abit messy.

I do apologise for the inconvienence.

I'm closing this to avoid problems.

Rega.. Wait a minute....



:cuac:

[UmarilsStillHere]

Have you caused the Mafia any greif? Maybe this is one step behind the horse-head-in-bed thing :P

Or an elaborate haloween prank by a freind of yours. :)

[chris32finney]

Do you play loud music at night and have a neighbour that is a butcher and seems to look at you in a pissed off way every morning?

[Laeloth_Claireplaine]

Weird...


Can you make a photo of this strange unknown matter, just to be sure ?

And... is your kitchen at the right or the left side of your entrance ? (assuming that you enter in your apartment)




Let's make some theories : Ameer is so fond of you that he can't do anything but dream of you at night. As he find you so yummy, he goes sleepwalking straight to your house, enter your kitchen to make a cheese/bacon sandwich with pickle supplement and BBQ sauce. He eats you so passionately (read : he eats the sandwich, ofc) that some scraps of bacon stuck on his cheek fall down after he has done his little affair and that he returns back to his home (some people can be rude when they love too much).
And so, the explanations of those little pieces of meat, QED. :lighten:

Or maibe iz just Ceiling Cat giftz ? Srsly :O

[Pizdzius]

Ok we don't have haloween in poland so it's not a prank.

Ameer was 400km away. xD

yes my kitchen IS left side of the entrance D:

as I also said before, I don't buy that kind of meat ;] it was more of a raw chunk

Laeloth, you're always too good for me xD I heart you XD <3



oh my father was a somnambulist and he used to pee in the corners of the house and didn't even know about it when he woke up. That was so funny back then, watching him peeing all over the place xD sigh, good times. But it's over now, also I don't walk in my sleep, I sleep like a rock and don't move usually even a bit, so I wake up in the exact same pose xD

[_Enio_]

Well you might be concealing all signs before you go on sleeping so you dont see you did stupid things in the night :P
[eg. like preparing a piece of dried meat at some weird place to make fun of yourself XD]

..so I wake up in the exact same pose xD

That sounds fishy XD

[SPARTISH]

set up a couple of cameras and find out,

or lock all the doors in your house before you sleep and see if it stil happens.

or put alot of banana skins on the floor so next time the person will fall and wake you up so u can go and beat them up,

most likely someone has a key to your apartment and is tryna scare you xD

maybe someone waits till your about to close the door and throws it in xD
and if it dont make it in it gets squished in the door?

but then again maybe umaril is right and its just the goats...

my cousin used to sleep walk, more like sleep run around the house with his arms in the air screaming xD funny as hell, once he ran to every room and put all the lights on and tried to beat up his dad and didnt kno anything about it the next day xD

[Arafails]

I'm sorry, it was me. I'm using my matter teleporting device for evil, not good. It's kangaroo meat. I tear chunks of flesh off the creature and teleport them at random, but the machine seems to get stuck on your place of residence. I think it likes you.

But no, seriously? That's bizarre. Do you have a web camera? You could set up a motion-detection thing on it to save space, and....

[backe]

You should invest in a few of these.

[Mrreality13]

ok try this every night b4 you sleep get duct tape and seal every edge around your doors ans windows?:p

[ncvr]

It's highly unlikely to be any kind of animal if the meat is left in a precise shape (you said a circle, square and rectangle?), but it is also unlikely that it was bought if it has an excessive amount of fat. As was said before, I think that the best things to do are either put a layer of flour on the floor or to pull an all-nighter.

Or someone with de Clerambault's syndrome is having delusions (other than that) and thinks you like that kind of meat :p

[Pizdzius]

Thanks people for treating it like a joke, I see no help ;P

Go set a bunch of cameras yourself! Yeah and with a moving detector too! Find me that kind of money.

Meh it's probably something stupid and obvious like bringing the damn meat of my boots...

[Froste]

Well, I have no advice on your invisible meat planters to offer, but if you collect enough of the meat maybe I can advice you on what to do with it:

Cheers!

[Laeloth_Claireplaine]

OK. Generally, in those kind of case, the simpler explanation is the right one. No ghosts, alien activities, spatial distortion or whatever. So don't worry too much about that, it has an explanation involving no possibilities of harm for you (it would already had been the case, otherwise).



Considering that there's no access through your door, that you keep your windows shut during the day or have no holes in your walls where any animal can come in ; considering too that you don't have this kind of meat in your house and that nobody of your acquaintance have brought it neither, then I see two possibilities : you bring those little pieces of meat inadvertently (stuck under your shoes, most certainly) or somebody else bring it in the same way.



I will now try to develop some hypothesis on who is this "somebody else", as the reason why you find those chunks of meat at some distance of your door in the morning, with explanations of its size and state.

Somebody else ? Oo -> It can be a friend of yours, ofc, but I have someone particularly in mind : your lessor (I'm not sure about the term. I mean the one renting you the apartment). If the phenomena appears only once a month or two, couldn't it be your lessor entering the place to see if everything is alright ? (a commendable but illegal intention...)
Or maybe have you given a spare set of your keys to one of your relative ? (always useful if you loose your keys)

Why tf chunks of meat there ? oO -> this part may be tricky but could explain why. Let's suppose that "somebody" brought it here inadvertently, possibly stuck under his shoes. He opens the door, wipes his shoes on your doormat, enters and closes the door. While scrubbing his shoes, the movement makes the stuck meat arriving to some centimeters inside the place. When the door is finally shut, the meat is trapped on the bottom of the door (where you can find it as if it was shoved inside - case one).
Now, let's imagine that the meat is stuck on you door - as seen in the previous case. After a day of work, you come back home, open your door and close it. The stuck meat is torn off from your door while you close it, explaining why you find it at almost a meter away from the door - case two.
Those two cases offers also an explanation for the dried state of the meat.

Merf... so why bacon-like meat, or those strange sizes ? -.- -> IIRC, you have a pizzaiolo down your street, uh ? There are several ways why "somebody" would find himself with a piece of bacon under his shoes, I think ^^.

Pfff... and why do I find it only in the morning while there was nothing in the evening, smartass ? -> no need to be rude, c'mon :O. Either, you can't see it because it's too dark when you enter back home, don't "want" to see it or simply don't pay attention to it. :confused:



Remember, those are just hypothesis, just ways to reassure you. But I repeat : don't be so troubled by that, it has a reasonable, inoffensive and definitive explanation ^^ (and, somehow, I won't be surprised if Ameer had something to do with it ! :D).

[-Edge-]

Time for...
CSI: Fisgael Edition!

Can I make a video :> ?

[dani-o]

i think that a butcher nearby have a huge crash on you, and is trying to buy your love with dry meat.


i would like to help you but i got a mistery on my own too, sometimes i found at my door, red wax and i asume is from used candles, esoteric bastards.:rale:

[klixon]

/me read the topic-title and expected a very different thread :sifflote:

[UmarilsStillHere]

Pay Chuck Norris to stand in your doorway at night and round house anything that moves?

[Pizdzius]

lol wow xD

NCIS, Lealoth as Gibbs, solved everything right away!

Awesome, man, you're incredible xD Thanks, that made everything more clear and obvious, perhaps you're right ;D I imagine you sitting there with a scrap of paper, writing down numbers and calculating possibilities XD \o/ you're too awesome, thank you so much. You calmed me down while everyone is making fun of the situation ;]

[PT_DaAr_PT]

I still think It's ''Paranormal-Meat-Activity'' :cuac:

[Pnarpa]

Just read this thread. Any idea what it is yet?

[Mrreality13]

did you taste it yet?:p

[Pizdzius]

Hah, hah. xD no. But I think Laeloth's theory is the best one yet.

My father came up with this hilarious idea that I have two personalities and one of them is leaving meat cause he's scared that someone is living is his room and my real one is checking the other one with trails of bread (as I was checking the mice) xD so we scare the shit out of each other. heheh. Good one.

[Dannboy]

This dried meat sounds alot like beef jerky :D

[Pizdzius]

Ummm, no, it doesn't look like that at all. I started to seal my doors at night with special tape so I know nobody is walking around xD

(paranoia)

[sobis]

maybe in the nights you a butcher LoL(?)

[Pnarpa]

Stack a lot of empty cans in front of the door. When someone enters, you'll be sure to hear it.

[Snoid]

Ummm, no, it doesn't look like that at all. I started to seal my doors at night with special tape so I know nobody is walking around xD

(paranoia)

Just to feed up your paranoia: dont expose your secrets here, as the potential subject (if any) can read it. Tip: use thread, its not that obvious.

well, that if he dont have any other surveillance method over you.

great, even though it has absolutely nothing to do with me, reading that has me checking my room for hidden cameras :sifflote:

[Pizdzius]

Ok something more disturbing. Today I woke up with lights on. I mean, I know I switched them off before I went to sleep because I draw in my bed and I use only little lamp near the pillow. Then I turned off everything, left the TV on (on purpose cause it was loud on the street) and went to sleep

I woke up at 5am, main light on. I was pretty scared ;P so I checked everything although the damn doors are locked from the inside and weren't disturbed. Windows neither. So it must be myself. ;P It's full moon and I heard it intensifies sleepwalking but damn oO even water bottles by the side of my bed weren't touched (i usually kick them by accident when I wake up) and I don't remember anything. WTF!

So am I sleepwalker and the meat is my fault? oO

[Torg_Snowflake]

So am I sleepwalker and the meat is my fault? oO

I don't know about the meat... but the light sounds like sleepwalking.

other option:

sometimes if you don't push a switch down completely nad it stays in the middle, (if it's of certain kind) it may flip back to the on position.

Try playing with it and see what happens.

[Pizdzius]

Nope, it's a fresh apartment and everything works perfectly ;(

I'll see what happens today

[theotherhiveking]

Nope, it's a fresh apartment and everything works perfectly ;(

I'll see what happens today

If the switch its close maybe you just hit it while you were sleeping.

If not, then your house its inhabitanted by ethereal phasing kobolds that are eating your soul, buy some big snakes.
Or what Torg said.


Or what Torg said but IN SPACE.

Or maybe you never turned it off, but you think you did because you were tired. (Or kobolds are eating your memories too)

[Mbwana]

I think either you ARE sleep walking or torg's theory is correct:
even a switch that works perfectly fine sometimes flips back or switch back on if not pushed/pressed hard enough, though it usually just sticks or turns the light on right after

a similar thing happened to me once when I turned off the lights, there was a sudden blackout and when the electricty came back the lights turned on with it, but this was in an old house that had several gimmicks so maybe this isn't the case with your new apartment, just a thought

[Pizdzius]

The switch is new, the things you say, they don't happen even if I try.

The switch is on the opposite wall, 1,60 m above the ground how could I hit it while sleeping? Do you have main light switches right next to your beds? :P

[theotherhiveking]

The switch is on the opposite wall, 1,60 m above the ground how could I hit it while sleeping? Do you have main light switches right next to your beds? :P
Oops, i thought you meant the main light of the bedroom.

[Pizdzius]

I don't have bedroom xD I live in a one-room apartment with a separate bathroom only xD

[Mbwana]

I just thought of another idea!

maybe there was an electrician who was working on some wires outside (or elsewhere) during the night and accidently did something which caused the light in your room to be turned on

or faulty wiring, since any building (new or old) may have this problem

but really, I'm just grabbing at straws here, and my experiences with such things are sadly lackng :p

[ncvr]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_hunting

Maybe this will help :wiggle14:

[Pizdzius]

I don't think the electrician outside would make my switch change it's placement ;)

I really do think I am sleepwalking so it would explain a lot. Thanks again guys.

[DkySven]

Maybe it is that Nimrod guy who's spamming your comic-forum. He's kinda creepy and obsessed.

[Anpu]

Why don't you simply turn on cam before sleeping, set to record area around your bed (:O), leave lights on (unless camera is able to record in the dark), and check tomorrow morning video. :P

Anpu ^^ I have a cam, but the tape won't last longer than an hour. Without an option to record with my computer there's no way I can do that, besides it doesn't happen too often and my bed is right next to kitchen, too far from PC ;P

Besides I don't really think it's needed to record myself sleepwalking. It's quite a normal "illness".

[Anpu]

Hm, what about putting little bells on rope around your bed, so if you get up, it ll ding? If you wake up out of bed, you ll know you really sleepwalked, and not disturbed by third person. ^^
Sleepwalking is completely normal "illness", and I consider it as the most funny and interesting one. :)

[Pizdzius]

I wouldn't even know how ;P they'd have to hang, I don't exactly have poles around my bed xD it's okay, the thread can die ;P my father who also sleepwalks will help me. Thanks

[Orimae]

Wow...i hope you find out what this is soon Piz...kinda bizzare indeed

But yeah, go with the something noisy tied to you to wake you up or , get a friend to stay with you for a few days/weeks/months to help, and really...i think Dann's idea of flour on the floor is good, ok messy and a pain to clean up, but wouldn't you rather clean up some cheap flour or let this keep happening?..

maybe it is ghosts...im positive my dad haunts me..he steals my hairbrushes..with is stupid...cos he was bald xD
