So I Think My Apartment May Be Haunted

Some nights I came feel a sort of "presence". Like if someone or something was touching the back of my neck when I'm laying in bed. I didn't really think much of it. BUT. Yesterday morning something strange occurred.

So the past few mornings my smoke alarm has been going off for no apparent reason. I went to talk to the Residence Life director yesterday about rent and some other things. On my way out I mentioned the smoke detector was acting up. She gave me a new battery and said if it keeps doing it we'll just replace it. So I get home and the first thing I do is put in the new battery. Here's where shit gets creepy. This morning I wake up and when I'm turning off my alarm clock I look on the dresser and the new battery is sitting on my dresser. I look up and the detector is opened with the battery leads hanging down. WTF?

Q: "So did you thoroughly inspect the smoke detector? To see if there was anyway the batteries could have fallen down during the night?"

A: Well the thing has a hinge on it and it locks into place when you close it. Also, the battery goes into a clip of sorts to stay in place. also, the battery was on the dresser, about a foot over from the thing. No way could it have fallen on it.

Q: "You do [believe in ghosts and the paranormal] now?"

A: I don't know if I would go that far. For some odd reason, I could have sleepwalked. I don't know why I would unplug the smoke detector, but I suppose this is a possibility. I've never sleepwalked before, but whatever.

Q: "Is it even remotely possible you set the battery down on your dresser with the intention of replacing the old battery.....but instead just closed it back up after removing the old one, forgetting to place the new one in?"

A: No, I distinctly remember putting the new one in. I took out the battery Tuesday when it was randomly going off and when I put it back in, I didn't use the battery clip. When I put the new one in, I did use the clip. That's why I remember doing it, because I hadn't used the clip before.
