Anyone else had this happen?

For me, I've dropped things that dissapear completely. I search every nook and cranny and they are not there then I'll come back later and theyre where I left them. When they dissapear no one is in the location with me or goes in there. Like my bathroom.
Of course as I am skeptic here are some possible explanations. The item (if small enough) gets stuck under the shoe or in the shoes (this hasn't happened to me but it could be an explanation). I also find it strange that they only seem to dissapear when you lose sight of it (aka falls at your feet). I have heard of a lot of first hand accounts. Some blame poltergiests.

Aha! a scientific answer to the one of the first posts I ever wrote; "The single sock syndrome. " (10th Nov 2005)

I apologise if this thread has come up before, but I am a fascinated, and after 24 hours, addicted newbie to this site. It covers a multitude of views on such a huge range of issues. There seem to a certain number of sceptics still out there. To them I would like to suggest the ultimate rationale/vindication/proof of existence for wonders such as; astral travel, extraterrestial visitations, multiverses and even angry demons.
What other possible rational explanation could anyone offer for the disappearing, or single sock, syndrome. Truely, has science ever been able to come up with a credible hypothesis, let alone any proof, to explain what happens to all those socks which disappear, leaving us with a drawer full of single socks.
I am not sure if women experience a similar phenomenum with stockings, but am open to advice on this. Maybe, being more sensitive souls, they became aware of the problem a generation or two before us and solved it by creating pantyhose.

Don't sweat it. Over the last 15 years I haven't met anyone by chance who was not gifted in some way. This does this to a lot of us.
Believe it or not... I lost an ancient family heirloom celtic cross in a vortex fault. I saw it hit the ground in the darkroom; finished the emulsifier and when I look down it was gone. We tore the 4x8 room apart (only 1 shelf and concrete floor to no avail) . Actually good thing; wondered why grandma never took it off but wasn't buried in it. Always brought me bad luck
On the other hand... things are things. From a gallon jar of Pace Picante in an efficiency apt. disapparate to suddenly finding my Celtic tribal symbol after several state moves... it happens.
LOL and don't let it bother you. I have seen more strange stuff than most anyone I talk to.

This happens to me all the time. I had a caulking gun disappear and then reappear later in the same spot I knew I left it. As far as dropping things and losing them forever, It happens just about every time I work on a car. The twilight zone is knee deep in nuts, bolts and sockets. : )

Heh-heh this is a fun one. Don'f forget socks! And for me... paperclips disappear instead of multiplying like rabbits...
