The Haunted Lamp

I was a kid when we had this lamp in my house. At first I thought that it was just something wrong with the wiring. Then as I got older I had it checked out, there was nothing wrong with it. The wiring was fine, the little key that turns on the light is fine. All aspects of this light are fine and in working order.

Now for the Haunting part of the light.

As I said, I was about 7 when we got this light and it was hanging in our kitchen. Every night about 6 or 7pm the light would shut off by itself. Nobody would be in the room and it would just shut off. As I grew the light started to turn off more frequently, So much so, that you couldn't do homework in the kitchen with that light on, (It was just a little light, not the main light nevertheless) you'd use it for extra light or ambiance. I was about 14 when it really effected me the most. I was sitting in the kitchen and the light not only shut off, but turned on 3 times in a row in a matter of 4 minutes time. Needless to say I was out of the kitchen. About 3 years later, I had come to visit my parents and the lamp turned on and off again, this time 7 or 8 times in several minutes. I asked my parents if this had kept accruing, to my surprise they said it happened very often.

I went into the military and my parents moved from that house in Massachusetts to a house in Las Vegas then to a house in New Mexico where my father passed away. My mom then came to live with us in Virgina and so did the lamp. Now it's been many years and thousands of miles since we used the lamp. So I plugged it in and guess what? It was on for approx. 30 min and off it went. But wait, it came on again, stayed on for a good 10 min then shut off. I think this thing may be haunted. At least it seems it to me.

What are you thoughts?
