Mate yes, 100% noticed this. Had a proper mad night last October during that big storm we got in the south, things were sliding off shelves and the cat was going absolutely mental in the hallway for no reason.
My theory is something to do with the electromagnetic energy in the air, like maybe poltergeists feed off it or it just lowers whatever barrier normally keeps things quiet. Ley lines might play into it too, not sure how exactly but there's got to be a connection.
Anyone else think the barometric pressure drop could be a factor? Would love to know if this is a pattern other people have clocked or if I'm just unlucky with timing.
