Anyone else had objects move on their own right after a death in the family?

Had this happen twice. First time was the week after my dad passed in 2019 - his old mantel clock (which hadn't worked in about 15 years) started ticking again for three days then stopped. Second time was after my gran, a ceramic dog she kept on the windowsill ended up on the kitchen floor, no explanation for it.

What I'd push back on with the standard "grief makes you imagine things" crowd is that both incidents had witnesses. My sister was there for the clock, my wife saw the ceramic dog incident happen in real time.

From a research standpoint I think theres something genuinely interesting in the timing correlation. The first 72 hours post-death seem to generate the most reported activity across basically every culture that documents this stuff. Whether that's residual consciousness, some kind of localized energy discharge, or something else entirely I couldn't say, but dismissing it as coincidence is intellectually lazy.

Anyone else noticed the 72-hour window specifically? Curious if that pattern holds across other peoples experiences.

@LakeDusk274 the clock thing is one of the most commonly reported phenomena around bereavement, and honestly it gets dismissed way too fast. There's actually a documented pattern called "death coincidences" that parapsychologists have catalogued going back decades - clocks stopping OR starting being the big one.

What I'd suggest is writing down exactly what happened both times, as much detail as you can remember. Timestamps, weather, who else was in the house. The patterns across cases are where the interesting stuff emerges and yours fits the template pretty well.

The skeptics will say stopped mechanisms sometimes restart due to temperature changes or vibration. Maybe. But a clock sitting silent for 15 years choosing that specific week? I've been looking into this stuff long enough to know that "coincidence" gets overused as an explanation when people just dont want to engage with the data.
