So I'm sitting here at work in the back room, no customers. Earlier I was cutting some paper up into long strips so I could re-label some shoe boxes. Nothing bigger than half of a sticky note wide, but long. I was just replying to another thread when I saw something move out of the corner of my eye. I look over to the desk and one of the strips of paper was standing on end at a 45 degree angle, in a perfect straight line. I took a step closer and the thing started to move to about a 70 degree angle, still no slack just dead stiff. It stayed there for a long time and I was just turning on my camera when the thing just slammed back to the desk. When it fell it still didn't bow or wave, it just kinda slammed flat. I picked it up, and it instantly bowed in my hand. There are no windows, vents, or doors in our back room. So... some kind of freak static phenominon, or a ghost? :lol: :idk:

Don't know but here's a tip, and it's free. Drugs AFTER work, not before.

Static. You picking up the camera (or getting it in the vicinity) likely changed the electricity in the air enough to cause the paper to fall. Saw similar occurence with tinsel on my Christmas tree. I had put a cooler on the floor to take some deer meat to my uncle and the tinsel tried to pull away from the tree to reach the cooler. However, whenever I would step toward the cooler, the tinsel would fall. If I stepped away, it would move back toward the cooler.
