This has been going on for months, It started after my wife's father died. I'm not saying there is a connection there though. I really don't know.It has rang on Fathers day and at other times that held significance. Sometimes it just rings and we can't make any connection of any kind. 
 
I have tried to make it ring by shaking ,banging and wiggling things and I can't make it happen. When it happens it might ring twice but sometimes it only rings once or it might ring three times, usually it rings once.
 
This happens at odd times like 2 or 3 in the morning. It has happened more at late evening than in the day time.
I live in a rural setting and there is no way someone could have rang my bell and ran without my catching them at it.
 
So this is strange...I have one of those door bells that plays musical tunes and on Christmas I might set it to play a carol but it can play dozens of songs. We had it on something like the west minster chimes but after all of this started to happen I tried to see if it was the bell and played with the settings. I ended up putting it on a setting to play all tunes randomly so out of nowhere we might get "Hail To The Chief" or "Greensleeves" at 3 in the morning, of course no one is ever at the door.
 
This has been going on for over two years off and on. It might be weeks between rings but it never seems to stop or go away and I can't seem to replicate the rings by playing with the bell unless I push the button.The weather doesn't seem to be a factor as it has happened in all kinds of weather.
 
Anyone else have any similar experiences. I know this sounds weird but it is happening.

That is eerie!

Wow Tim, that is kind of eerie!!
I've never experienced that, so I don't even know what to make of it. Can you disable it?
 
 
 
 
 
If it still rings, that's going to be a real humdinger.  (sorry, I coudn't resist)

I'm quicker than I used to be. Funny that.

You may have mice? I've heard of rodents screwing around with doorbell lines before.

Get a cheap video camera and point it at the door. You can get them to record to a DVR.

However, training mice to use a DVR is no walk in the park.......
 
HTH.

But apparently they CAN ring doorbells, so there is hope.

That's the last time I buy an invisibility cloak from a guy in an abandoned castle.  I keep ringing doorbells and no one opens the door.  Also, I think there are mice in here.

Are your doorbell wires frayed or just anxious?
