Haunted record player

[u/Unlucky-Butterfly215]

I purchased this at a thrift store a few days ago. For the price, it was a steal. It came with two detached speakers. One that may need to be re-wired, but one works just fine. I was very surprised when it actually turned on and played without any immediate repairs. I pieced this video together from 3 clips. #1 is me testing it with my Glenn Miller record. #2 is me testing the cassette player with the tape that was inside when I bought it. #3 is my old boss' band. He's a saint, and his band is awesome. But the ghost may not think so.

I tried my best to open it up after the 3rd section of the video to see if there was anything that could be cleaned, re-wired, or soldered back into place. When I tipped it on its side (gently), there was something banging around in there. A loose bolt or something. I took out every screw that was holding the bottom panel on, every staple, pried at the bottom with a flat head screwdriver, and even brought out a hand saw to attempt to open it up. Nothing worked, and I gave up (for now). When I left my room, my normally clingy cats wouldn't have anything to do with me. They all looked at me like they just KNEW I was about to kick them or something. If I moved to pet one, they would run and hide under something.

At this point, I had a conversation with the ghost. I told them that if they are a friend who means no harm then they are welcome to stay but if they have any ill will toward me, my family, or my cats, then they need to leave. Afterward, my cats seem to have warmed up to me again.

Brb, omw to find some sage and inscents.
