Why do things seem to suddenly disappear and then show up months later?

I think you have the same little trolls I do... Seriously though, I don't know for sure why this happens..Like the missing sock that appears much later. (Different problem from when the washer/dryer eats the sock..lol) Maybe when we really need it, we are too quick too find it and so we overlook the item..Or whatever was covering it had been moved..It really frustrates me too..Because I will find items that I won't use for months, like a seasonal item.._

This often happens with me when i search for my books before i rush to my college in the early hours----they just get lost in those bulk and it would be awwww so irritating when someone else picks it for us---my sister gets holds of them sometimes---and then i feel like why on earth i didnt find it before.

I am constantly loosing things and finding them months later. Just last night I found my son's bedtime bath wipes and a few other things I forgot I took on vacation back in April. It was still in the suit case. I guess I just forgot to unpack some stuff. I seriously thought the suit case was empty. Then I decided to move it and noticed it was a bit heavy.

Hello, StephanieAnnC! I have met this problem too many times. I often lose things and can't find them anywhere. But suddenly they appeare just under my eyes. But I remembered I had searched the place very carefully! I don't know what's the exact reason, but I think, maybe when i desired to find it, "FIND IT" filled my mind, and this would cause a blank in my mind. So when my sight saw it, the image of it couldn't come into my brain, so I missed it. And after a period of time, when I accidently looked there, the condition could be much better. My mind wasn't full and could receive the images.

Somepeople say that the gnomes make them disappear and appear when they want it... :P I dunno, but that things happen a lot, I always lose my keys, and I find them later in a weird place... :/ I dunno what this things happen...

Well, they do not really disappear and show up somewhere else so there must be a logical explanation for these things. I guess you just didn't check it enough. Yes, sometimes things disappear for me and I can't find them even if I am looking all over the place, but for some reason, a few months later, I find them again even though I am not looking for them. Weird huh?

Hi Stephanie! That happens in my house all the time and it really drives me crazy! But, lately things just disappear and never show up! Years ago my friends thought that there was some sort of "spririt/ghost" in my apartment and so did I! Things used to disappear, move and alot of other strange stuff would happen! And all of a sudden in the last year or so my earrings have gone missing, just one in the middle of the night when I am sleeping and they are not in the bed or anywere or when I am in the house and can't be found anywere and that has happened with 2 different pairs of Gold Earrings and one Gold Ankle Bracelet and I never used to lost good jewelery before! And one time I lost a purple lighter and months later found it in my draw with my socks!

I sometimes think that we are not alone in our household! I'm pretty sure that there are tiny gremlins running about whilst we are asleep and that they have need of some of the things we use whether it be cream, tweezers or whatever!. On a serious note this has always been a mystery, it just happens and no one knows why! I think the most common item that is lost is that one sock when you should have a pair! Where did the other one go? When you take your clothes out of the wash, one sock! Hell! I think I will have to use the leftover sock as a duster now! There are so many things that we cannot understand in this Universe and well lost and found items definitely falls into that category! Andrew

I don't know how it is possible that sometimes the thing you need the most hides so good. There were many times i searched for things and turned my room up side down nd still didn't find it. The worse thing is if you can't find keys, you are certain you lost them and you buy new ones, than you find old ones in a jacket. Another thing i can't understand is how the "peep" can the wires of earphones get so tangled after one second in a pocket.

It happens to me sometimes. I don't really bother thinking why it showed up there after searching there and not finding it. All I care about is I'm happy that I found it. Probably I really didn't check it thoroughly or someone played a prank in me and hide it then put it back there after I checked it. Lots of reasons actually but the most important thing is I found it there.

right now i was looking for my white shirt which i could not find since last year..i searched it like crazy..i know i must have it in my room but somehow i can't find it..that is soo like human..i mean we put our stuff and arrange them neatly but somehow finding things will still be a nuisance for us..hope i can find it someday...it is my favourite

it happened to me many times already. our neighbors told us that there are some spirits inside our house. at first i did not believe it but everytime there is something missing, i just whisper "please bring back my stuff" then my things will appear at the unexpected place inside our house. maybe it is true that there are spirits in our house. so scary!!!!

OMG, I think about this very same thing all the time. It has to me very frequently. I totally hate looking for something that is apparently lost. Time wasting is one of my biggest pet peeves. I totally hate going in circles and looking for something no matter what it is, it is the fact that there is no evident reason why it would not be where I whole hear-ted believe I left it at a certain place. Especially if it is the same place I normally leave the item. It absolutely drives me nuts more than any type of harm that could possibly come my way. Than out of nowhere, bingo I am looking for something else I believe now is lost and would'nt you know it, there is the prior item I was looking for months ago that suddenly re-appeared. Too odd, especially when yes the item did not have legs, I checked there a zillion times and there has been no one in my home to have moved it. So I know the feeling.... As the terrible feeling makes me doubt myself when I know for a fact I had left it there to begin with. I suppose in the heat of the moment and or stress about finding the object I become blinded by blindness. hummm...

These things happen to me all the time, and it really drives me crazy!! I always thought I was just really forgetful or unlucky, so I am kind of glad to hear that I am not the only one, hihi! (no offense!)

I wish to list down the numerous things which disappeared like this and got back later. 1. Stamps & coin collection. 2. Cricket Bat 3. Some CDs 4. many computer parts like ram, hard disks, pen drive

Hi Stephanie, I have this happen all the time, I will put something down go to get it and it is gone, at one time we even put it down to spiritual activity. I have a drawer like that I know something is there and look an look and cannot find and next time looking for something else, there it is. The other day I wanted to wear a particular necklace which I thought was in my handbag of that went with theoutfit that I had worn it with last, nope couldn't find it, then went to the bag to get my lipstick and there it was after the event I wanted to wear it for grrr. Huggles. Ellie :D

hi stephanieAnnc I know everyone else is going to say there is always a logical reason and you just forgot or you moved them and so on. well I have one that's more fun,Gremlins did it Just like they took one of my husbands socks, and just stuffed them away somewhere so I could look silly running around the apartment trying to find the other socks.So they grab things we really use a lot,hide them for awhile then put them right back where they belong. Well thats my theory and I am sticking to it.

My Aunt Barbara would say it's gremlins...

Tou know that when you stop looking for something, you will find it. Onjects will remain in hiding for months. When you give up the hope of ever seeing it again, there it is. Never fails to hsppen.

Sometimes that happens to me also, there are few things that I knew where I placed them but when I needed them, they would just disappear and even if i turn every stones in the house, I couldn't still find them but then suddenly when you don't need them, they will just appear in your plain sight. Strange uh?
