Ghost for Tea

I have always believed that there are ghosts in our presence. And what happended the other night just confirmed it. I've been living in this house for about a year and a half. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, until a few weeks ago. I started getting a sensation that someone was in the room with me. My hubby was working the graveyard shift and I was home alone, except for my cat. This one night in particular, it was very warm outside, above 25C. And suddenly, it was like someone opened the door on a cold winter night. The hair on the back of my neck stood up, and I looked around. Nothing. It was so unnerving, that I called my mother 300kms away to find out if anything was wrong. We are very close, and can usually tell when the other is in need. She claimed that both my parents and grandparents were doing just fine. They were all out and having a good time. I explained why, and she said to keep my eyes open and try to figure out what it is. The next day, when I was in the washroom, the same cold chill went right through me. It was a strong enough wind, to move the toilet paper. I knew for sure then that we had a ghost. About two nights after that, I had made a cup of tea after my hubby went to work and went to watch T.V. I must have fallen asleep on the couch, because a couple of hours later, the tea kettle fell off the stove, and crashed to the floor. There was water everywhere. First thoughts I had was that maybe I didn't put the kettle back on the stove right. But, when the kettle fell, the water was ice cold. And the next day I did a few tests to see if it was possible. I tried for about an hour and couldn't get the kettle to fall again. The only thing I could think of is that the ghost wanted a cup of tea. I tried talking to the ghost, to find out why it needed its presence felt at this time. No response. It has been quiet since then. The odd cold wind pushes through, but no more kettles on the floor. I guess he got his cup of tea somewhere else.
