Ghost in LT?

I’m starting to wonder if there are ghosts haunting LT, because I noticed a few things as I was checking my profile.
Firstly, in the “Recent Activity” section it said that I had star rated both A Caribbean Mystery and The Secret Garden within the past month or so after I added Smoke and Mirror, which was added on .
Now, I was editing A Caribbean Mystery just the other day so it is possible that I might have touched on the star rating, but I always scroll past that section so I find it unlikely. And I haven’t done any editing on The Secret Garden for years so I can’t have rated that recently (I don’t do star ratings and the few books I have rated was in the dawn of my time on LT around ten years ago - not very recently, in my opinion).
Lastly, under the “Favourite Lists” section it claimed that I had favourited “Best Vampire and Werewolf Books” (or something like that), which I certainly never did as I can’t stand that genre. I may have been on that page due to the Halloween hunt but I definitely didn’t favourite it.

What is going on? Is there a LibraryThing poltergeist running around or what?

Hmmm… Make sure you keep the lights on.

Do you share devices with anyone else?

Not that you know of, at least.😱

>5 abbottthomas: I should adjust my answer to say "I don't share my devices with any other living humans". I cannot speak for ethereal beings, ghosts or similar.

Update: A new appearance by the ghost! I wanted to update my 75’ers thread but clicking on “ Started by you” didn’t show it at all. I search all of LT and it showed in the search result there, but had been marked “ignore”. I have a hard time seeing that I would have clicked ignore on my own thread, so don’t know what this is about.

>7 PawsforThought: It is very easy to click on it while scrolling if you use mobile phone to another small screen.

>7 PawsforThought: I thought about that, but I’ve never accidentally clicked on it before, and I find it strange that I’d click on that exact one when I don’t keep Talk threads in the Started by you view.

When is the last time you changed your password? When is the last time you logged out of Librarything from all devices?

>11 gilroy: I don’t normally log out of LT on any device as I’m the only one who has access.

>13 dianeham: Thanks, but no one has my password nor access to my devices (they’re also password protected).

Maybe a pet is running across the keyboard/touching the screen when you aren't around? I watched a video recently of a cat turning off a phone alarm by swiping aggressively at the screen when it started making noise. Very cute little troublemaker.
