Before I give the details, I just have to say that i've always been a skeptic. i believe in my younger years I have experianced a few things worth questioning, but could possibly have explainations. I've never been able to prove anything when dealing with strange happenings, which still leaves me as a skeptic.
The following events have happened sometime between Friday, January 15th through today, January 26th.
A couple of friends of mine, brought an Ouija board over to our new apartment on the 15th. We were having somewhat of a get together, and drinking. I didn't touch the thing, I haven't messed with one of those in about five - six years.
Now. I believe what followed after, all has an explaination. I believe their could be a reason behind everything we're witnessing, but I can't help to be spoked, considering I haven't heard any of the following before, and we have lived here almost two months.
THE 15TH AND 16TH: The night of the 15th, and 16th, I can't recall anything happening. Although, both mornings, when my fiance and I woke up, at the same time, we could hear a popping noise in the kitchen, while we are both in bed. Both mornings this has occured at the exact same time. It almost sounds as if it's a two litter popping, when the air rises in it. Though, we don't have any bottles in the kitchen. I'm sure there's an explaination for the noise, though we find it odd it has happened at the same time both mornings.
THE 16TH - 17TH: On the night of the 16th. We were laying in bed, we have a blowup matress, considering we just moved to Knoxville, from Jacksonville, FL. And don't have all of our items. I was laying closest to the bedroom door, and our dog was laying on my side of the bed, on the floor. It took me sometime to get to sleep. We hadn't thought anything about the bottles, I didn't even consider anything paranormal at this point. Our bedroom door will not open on it's own. If anything, it wants to close by itself, and refuses to stay open. I shut all doors when I go to sleep. It's an OCD thing for me. I was having trouble sleeping. I had this feeling that someone was staring at me, or watching me. Jenova, our dog, was having trouble sleeping too. Around 10 minutes after I finally got to sleep, I heard the door pop open, and the handle jingled, as if someone had twisted it, and let go. The door creaked up a bit, and then stopped. It did not close back. As I have said before, this door, closes on its own.
THE 17TH: Adam had the day off, and we were hanging out at the house. At some point, he walked into the bedroom, and shortly came out. He then asked me why I set the Space Heater in the bedroom, to 100 degree's. We've NEVER touched the heater, as our heater works well enough, and have never had to use it. It's not digital, it's a knob that you have to turn, and it sticks as well. There is no reason for me to have turned it all the way up. I hadn't told him about the handle. But I found the heater turned all the way up odd, and decided to tell him. After explaining to him what happened with the bedroom door the previous night, he laughed a little, and joked that maybe it was because of the board. This is around the time I started thinking about it. But, me being skeptic, and thinking there could be a reason for everything that's happened. About two minutes after telling him what happened, the same thing happened, this time with the closet door. And, the closet door, acts just as the bedroom door. I walked into the bedroom, the closet was completely open. I tapped it, and it closed. We tried to get it to stay open, but it wouldn't stay on it's own. Although, previously, it was.
Nothing to odd happened the next few days.
I don't remember which day it was, but he confronted me about the space heater again. This time, it was on 60. Again, I hadn't touched it. Now, the knob is NOT on the heater. It's on the opposite wall, and it's too high for any of my dogs to accidently knock into it. It's about level with my head.
LAST NIGHT THE 25TH - 26TH: We were sleeping in the living room. I woke up, at around 3AM. And Adam was awake next to me, I asked him why he wasn't sleeping, and he told me to hush. So, I listended for a bit, and could hear what SOUNDED like, a few notes of music, every few minutes. Just barely auidable. It sounded as if it was coming from the TV. It would switch from sounding like music, to sounding like a conversation on the TV. Imagine your TV being on very low, almost to the point where you cant here it, but can pick up a few bits of conversation. Only, your TV is completly off. I thought, maybe the neighbors were playing music, or had their TV loud. The thing is, there is 10 apartments to a Unit. And we're 1 of 3 families that live in our unit. There are three floors, us on the top, and the other two on the first floor. There's nobody directly beside, or below us.
As for today. Adam left the house for work around 10AM. I went back to sleep, awaking

Ouija boards don't summon spirits or anything they work by the ideometer effect, you push it around subconsciously yourself so you may as well have said that your friends had a nice game of checkers or any other game, since playing them will have exactly the same effect as the ouija - that is none.
It's a bit hard for any of us to identify where your noises and stuff are coming from since we can't hear them and don't have access to your house to investigate, but that seeing you said in the first sentence that you are a skeptic I'm sure you will find answers that aren't based on spooky magic. And sometimes we hear noises and never work out exactly what they are - which doesn't matter since they are causing us no harm and being skeptics we know that they don't originate from some paranormal source.
