Stephen Mckears is a 72-year-old British man who had to face a real unusual incident. he started noticing that objects in his shed have moved overnight and they were not just being randomly placed but things like clips and screws were neatly packed back into the tub. Mr. Mckears was puzzled by this mystery as he couldn’t imagine anyone to be helping him in cleaning his shed secretly.

However, he was determined to find the truth and one day he emptied the tub intentionally and scattered the content around. To his utter surprise, everything was arranged in the exact neat way by next day morning and that was when he decided to find the mystery behind this.

With the help of his friend Rodney Holbrook, they set up a trail camera to catch the helpful ghost. The result was quite adorable and astonishing. The ghost was none other than a little mouse who lifted objects twice its size to keep his home clean.

Mr. Mckears said that “I’ve been calling him Brexit Mouse because he’s been stockpiling for Brexit. The heaviest thing was the plastic attachment at the end of a hosepipe – and the chain of an electric drill. I didn’t know what it was at first. The kids were saying it was a ghost.”

“One day I emptied the tub out and spread the contents on the side – and the next day they were all back in again. I thought I was going mad.”Mr. Holbrook was astonished at the mouse’s diligent behavior. “I’ve been calling him Metal Mickey but some people have been saying he’s just mouse proud,” he says. “I was quite amazed to see it – it is an amazing mouse.”

“Steve asked if he could use my trail camera to film whatever it was that was moving the objects in his shed. The mouse was chucking things into the box – we thought it was a ghost or something at first. I thought I have to see this for myself. It seems that the mouse goes on-shift from around midnight to 2.30am – and has been doing its cleaning duties every night for about a month now.

“It was doing it for about two hours that night – he must have had to go for sleep after it,” Mr. Mckears said.

“I’ve seen a mouse moving objects to make a nest but never metal objects. It’s quite amazing. It’s still busy doing it now.”
