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

Had this happen after my nan passed back in 2019. Her little ceramic owl that sat on the mantelpiece for about 30 years turned up on the kitchen windowsill the next morning. Nobody moved it, we all asked each other. House was locked up overnight.

What gets me is it wasn't just random - it was her favourite ornament and the kitchen was where she spent most of her time. Feels like more than coincidence but I honestly don't know what to make of it.

I've read a bit about post-death phenomena and some researchers think there's a brief window after someone dies where some kind of residual energy or consciousness can interact with the physical world. Whether thats a ghost, an emotional imprint, or something else entirely I couldn't say.

Has anyone else had something like this where the object had a specific meaning rather than just being a random thing that moved? That detail always seems important to me when I'm trying to work out if there's actually something to these experiences.

@DozyWanderer the ceramic owl detail is interesting because it's a specific, familiar object with a strong associative link to the deceased. In my experience documenting post-death anomalies here in Roswell - and I've done a fair bit of it over the years - the objects that move tend to be ones the person had a long, habitual connection to. Not random items.

Before attributing it to the paranormal though, I'd want to rule out whether anyone in the household was sleep-walking, or whether grief and shock could account for memory gaps about who last touched it. That sounds cold but it matters. If you genuinely cannot account for it, the next question is whether you documented the original position with photos beforehand, which obviously nobody does because why would they.

Did anything else shift in the days following, or was it just the owl?
