The Discord Spirit

Krom once again, and it's been awhile since I've needed to come on here for answers (previous comments were very helpful with my last submission like a year ago so thank you to everyone who had helpful information). As previous readers will remember, my wife had recently been bequeathed an old antique chair which sits in our living room, well it still sits in the living room, but the activity has stopped from it completely (I assume what I'm about to talk about has nothing to do with that as it is COMPLETELY different in nature). So once again thank you for all your comments concerning it.

Now onto what I'm about to talk about. I'm not sure how to get into this so I'll just jump right in. Next to our living room is my computer room I use for both work and gaming at night with my cousin who lives in Grenada (his fiancé is in medical school down there), and in this room is also my dog Hannah's kennel as she likes to lay inside behind me while I'm playing at night before bed.

Recently, my computer had been having issues with overheating, which I had believed was an electrical problem as the light in the room kept blowing light bulbs (like 6 bulbs in the span of 2 weeks). This would always occur while I was at work and I'd come home to the light being out, and Hannah would be going full on crazy. In fact I could hear her barking and howling while turning down my street. But when I would come inside she would stop, and I just figured it was her anxiety or something of that nature.

Onto the computer, recently it had been having overheating problems, and would just CONSTANTLY shut down after a few minutes of being on. Well I had found out the problem and replaced the fan over the CPU and everything worked fine. But then other weird stuff started to begin happening. One night while gaming with a crew of people in Discord (voice connect app for those that don't know), we were all playing and my mic started having a meltdown. Weird noises and screams were coming from MY mic and my friends thought I was playing a weird prank on them. It was like static white noise and screaming and it scared me to death. We attributed it to a random glitch and moved on after it stopped.

2 weeks later the same thing happened again, but before it started up, my dog started barking behind me and just as I turned to shush her as the family was sleeping, my headset started blaring and screaming again. It sounded like a woman screaming at the top of her lungs inches from my ears. I threw the headset off and yanked the usb cord out of my PC tower and even without it being plugged in, the scream was STILL coming from my headset, and I yelled a few choice terrified words and ran upstairs to wake up my wife and had her come downstairs. You could still hear the headset while coming down the steps, that's how loud it was and just as we walked to the door to the computer room, it stopped and the light blew out in the room with a small popping sound (I guess like a single kernel of corn popping?).

Well I stopped gaming for a few days after that, and my wife doesn't seem too concerned, as she thinks a spirit was just "passing through", but I don't think that. There was enough of a space between the first and second instance that it doesn't seem like an "oh hi, just passing through screaming bloody murder" type thing.

I've also noticed the house next to ours has felt slightly weird (my computer room is the closest to the next house over), it is abandoned but the owner won't sell it. I offered to buy it because it's boarded up for the most part but cats infest the area because of it, just so I can knock it down and claim the land for a larger yard, but he wants an insane amount for it ($10,000 more than what we paid for our house, guy is crazy I think). I'm not sure if the spirit is there, because it doesn't feel like a spirit is actually IN my house, but just nearby.

Who knows for sure, but I wanted peoples' opinions on this whole electronic phenomenon. It's something I've never dealt with before, as ghosts and spirits usually just manifest and I actually see or hear them. Also, I'm almost 100% sure the spirit is not "physically" in my house, at least it doesn't feel that way. Is there a "range" or whatever a spirit can affect electronics? Also if the spirit is not in my house, how do I prevent this from happening again, because random 110 decibels is very jarring to say the least. Anything helpful would be appreciated.

Lastly, the date of this writing is 5/23/18, and when/if this gets posted, I will post any other occurrences that happen in the time between in the comments.
