Ok it took me a second to figure out what is wrong.

I take "irrigating" instead of "irritating" the animals is the problem.😜🤣

Do not worry about your use of "grammer" instead of "grammar".

Everyone makes an error now and then.

Happy New Year!

Spell check, or even a grammer checker, would not have noted this typo.  This was posted on a local nextdoor group, and I'm glad I wasn't drinking something when I read it, LOL.

 

"I have a spirit in my home that is very active. It’s cutting the lights on/ off, moving the cameras, irrigating my animals, knocking things off tables etc."




How do we know the sentence isn't correct? The spirit may very well be watering the animals. I wouldn't put anything past them. 

 


@Etoile308  Actually, it sounds like an angry spirit.

 

Personally, I would not stay in the house.  I would be inclined to contact "Paranormal Caught On Camera" and try to get rid of it.

@Icegoddess.  After you've read the atrocities on the NextDoor app, you see you neighbors with new eyes.  People are amazingly ignorant, minimally educated.

Thanks, I wasn't shaming anyone since I made sure not to copy any of their identifying information.  I just found the thought of irrigating the animals as funny.  Others not so much I guess.
