my husbands lost car key

Retracing our steps often helps the lost be found
But what if we have a poltergeist or a spiritual jokester in our home?
I know I have one or the other, and she/he hides things
I lost my husband’s extra car key six years ago
It was not a lone key

It was on a ring of sixteen other keys
A rather large ring; I had thrown it on the couch
I have turned that couch upside down and backwards
Taken the cushions off a hundred times
Moved it away from the wall
Shaken it
The last two times I heard spirit laughing

Ha! I know that frustrating feeling, Caren, but I never thought of spiritual interference. Hmmm, you’ve got me thinking!

I can think of no other explanation - this was six years ago and I remember where I put them
