This has happened to me twice that I can recall with any certainty. The first time was during a really heated row with my ex, a glass on the kitchen worktop just slid about six inches across the surface. No vibration, no logical reason for it. We both stopped mid-argument and just stared at it.
The second time was after a bereavement, I was sat alone feeling pretty low and a photo frame fell off the shelf. Completely still room, no draft.
I've read a fair bit about the recurrent spontaneous psychokinesis theory - the idea that strong emotion can somehow generate or trigger physical effects in the immediate environment. Some researchers link it to adolescents but honestly I think adults under extreme stress can produce the same thing.
Anyone else noticed a pattern where it only happens during high emotional states rather than random times? I'm curious whether its more common during anger specifically or whether grief and distress trigger it just as often.
