broken window...

Hi,
reading some of the other "ghost experience" stories has reminded me of an incident which happened years ago in Belfast. I was staying with a boyfriend of the time. He was in a rented house sharing with 2 others. They had told me strange stories of things happening in the house which I took with a pinch of salt to be honest... I thought they were just trying to scare me. One of the stories was how one of them was at home alone, heard the front door close and footsteps going up the stairs. Presuming it was one of his mates, he shouted up to him a couple of time but got no response. He went to the bottom of the stairs and shouted again... no response... went upstairs and looked in all the rooms...nobody home!!! This was an end of terrace house. There was nothing on the other side of the wall. Since I wasn't there at the time I didn't really take that or the other stories of strange noises seriously.

Then one night, we were all (3 or 4 of us) in the sitting room when we heard the sound of glass breaking in the kitchen. In we went to see a hole, about an inch in diameter, almost perfect circle in the window, with small cracks radiating out from it. Presuming someone had thrown a stone we ran outside to see that the shattered glass was actually on the outside, not one shard on the inside, indicating that it had broken from the inside out. No stone, nothing lying around that could have broken it. No one was in the kitchen when it happened.

Weird!!! Or is it?... any logical explanations??? Could the broken glass have been on the outside if a stone had hit it from the outside? Or do windows just sometimes spontaneously break like that?

ballbearing from a slingshot? remember they used to do that to see if a place was alarmed before burgling it? I dont know why the glass would be on the outside though ....
