Had something similar after my father passed in 2019. Three days after the funeral, a framed photo of him - sitting on a shelf I'd not touched in years - was found face-down on the floor. No vibration from traffic, no pets, shelf was level. I checked.
What I find more interesting than the anecdote itself is the mechanism people propose. The ". Grief energy". Explanation gets thrown around constantly on here and frankly I find it vague to the point of uselessness. If we're talking genuine psychokinetic activity, the literature points more toward the percipient than the deceased - poltergeist cases cluster around people under emotional stress. The death is a trigger for living activity, not a deceased agent doing the moving.
I set up a Olympus LS-P4 audio recorder and a basic IR camera in the room for about two weeks afterwards. Nothing conclusive on the recordings, though there was one anomalous sharp knock at 2:47am on night four with no environmental explanation I could pin down.
The photography angle is what keeps me chasing this stuff. Shadow anomalies in three of the photos taken around that time - could be lens artefacts, could be compression noise, but the positioning near doorways is consistent with what I've documented in other locations.
Has anyone else actually documented anything during a bereavement period rather than just reporting it after the fact? Curious whether others have captured anything measurable or whether it's all retrospective accounts.
