Just a single klonk, no secondary noise. Which means it should have fallen onto one spot without sliding away, right?
Wrong.
It completely disappeared. As I scanned the floor, not moving from my spot, I just couldn't find it anywhere. I checked every square inch of the fridge, above and below and even checked my pockets to see if it somehow fell into there.
Nope.
So, this really interested me. I went for a flashlight and I really investigated the area around the fridge. Both inside and out. I scoured every surface, and even looked inside containers.
Nothing, nada.
It's gone.
I'm a hundred percent sure that I heard it drop. I felt it too. But where is it? Where did it go?
There are strange stories I've read about, that described objects mysteriously vanishing out of thin air. I wonder if this is one of those situations. In those stories, sometimes the object reappears and sometimes it shows up in an unlikely place far from its original disappearance.
Ghost? Nah. But there were some theories that objects actually can enter another dimension. I know how ridiculous this sounds, but seriously, I searched everywhere within a 15ft radius of my fridge and I will be searching again shortly. I'm 100% sure it was on my fridge this morning, and I'm 100% sure I heard it fall and land someplace.
I also tried searching on my blog as to where I mentioned buying this magnet, and I haven't been able to find that particular entry for some reason. I was going to repost the photo I'd taken of it.
I wonder if it's on my phone.. hmm.
It is. Let's see, July 26th is the time stamp. Should be able to find the blog post within that date range...
Hmm.. can't seem to find the post I had that picture in, so I'll upload it off the phone.
There it is. It's fairly big, too. About three inches at its widest point. Has a bit of weight to it as well.
But it disappeared and I'm quite amused by it.
Hmm.
So fascinating.
I bet fourth dimension entities are looking at it now going, "what the hell is this supposed to be for?"
Hopefully once they get bored, they'll send it back.
Heh.
Edit: It's gone alright. I looked everywhere in the kitchen. I even grabbed a chair so I could look on top of the cabinets. I even opened up a cereal box. Moved every item around in the fridge to make sure it didn't fall inside. It's crazy. If you look at the photo here, I *know* it was perched right above that yellow card on the top-left side.
I haven't touched this magnet in over a month, I believe. So it's not a case of thinking its there, but was actually moved someplace else a while ago. I heard the sound of it falling, and felt my sleeve knock it loose.
But it's nowhere to be found.
Looks like I have my own version of the Bermuda triangle in here.
Will update once I find it. If I ever do.

Here is an entry from another blog that I googled, to see if this kind of phenomenon is commonplace. Apparently it is, and it has a name. DOP or Disappearing Object Phenomenon.
Wild. I hope it shows up.
