A ghost took a shot at me

A few minutes ago, I was sitting here at my computer at work, just typing away.  Suddenly, to my right came a HUGE popping noise - like a light bulb breaking at EXTREME volume.  I noticed a tiny bit of movement out of the corner of my eye but no other disturbance.  I have searched around my office and found nothing that would generate such a sound.  No broken bulb, nothing fallen off the wall, no cracked furniture, no fried electronics.  The person in the office next to mine came running in when it happened and asked what the pop was, so it wasn’t my imagination.

After such an event, some people would assume that there was some supernatural cause.  It was a poltergeist, or a demon, or a ghost, or a whatever.  That it was a warning from god or a message from satan.  That the all-encompassing spirit of Gaia was trying to tell me something.  That assumption wouldn’t be their considered opinion after eliminating all other possibilities; it would be their “go to” idea.  For my part, I know it was a natural occurrence, and hopefully I’ll figure out what it was.  It’s possible I won’t ever know.  But that would be no justification to make up some ghostly BS just so I feel like I figured it out.

That’s the difference between a skeptic and a woo woo.
