Ghost Stories

Espresso Machine

Sometimes, I see asmall brown shadow run through my house, and sometimes it's justtoo much, and I have to tell it to settle down. Generally it does.(I think it's a ghost-dog?)

Anyway, a couple of days ago, I got up to prepare the morningcoffee. And noticed to my dismay, that before I could do this"I have to" take out the trash, so I do.

After, I grind the beans. In the background I hear water running,it keeps getting louder and louder, I was thinking that myhusband got up and went to the toilet and the noise was theflushing sound. But this is rediculous! The noise did not stop,even over the grinder!, which I had just finished. I reached overto remove the old grounds, and low and behold, the espresso sideof the machine was spewing water everywhere! (That was the noiseI heard)

Who turned it on, where did the water come from, how come therewas so much water? Hey, wait a minute here... the espresso topwas screwed on tightly, the boys did not add any water (I asked),or even try to make any (we have an Italian pot for the stove asthis one seems to take forever, except for now) What's going onhere?

Later on in the day I found out exactly "how much"water there was, under the counter, microwave, the hot-board itsits on, everywhere! More than the small container it can hold (whichis equal to a regular cup of coffee!) where did it come from?

I don't have any ideas about the water, but maybe the ghost-dogsowner knows who turned it on!

By the way, this really did happen to me! Believe it or not!
