It's a very interesting question isn't it, what power the human mind has over itself and its environment. If we feel oppressed or lonely in a place, will the place feel lonely? Did being there make your Grandfather's absence more apparent, so you felt more lonely, more lifeless, when you were there? And if so, was it just an emotional thing effecting your senses or something more? Did you somehow subconsciously make the drawer and the cup move? Or was there some other force?
I do believe there are supernatural forces, being a Christian (as I said in the blog) I'd attribute these to God or Satan, depending on the effect the experience has on you. Like I would say a negative experience like fear or pain would have been caused by Satan or a demon, as an attack on the person having the experience.
But I do also wonder sometimes if humans have some sort of subconscious power over the environment, without getting too blasphemous. Do our desires or expectations shape what we see? And is it an illusionary thing, something we imagine, or some actual force that really does move things? A lot of the stuff happens at night; is it caused by dreams you haven't woken from properly, dreams prompted by stress or fear? Or is there more at work?
(Though I would also say illusions, dreams, things that science can give a definite, scientific cause for, can still be prompted by supernatural forces, God and Satan, angels and demons.)
