Here is a story of my trick or treat.  Thursday night I made a batch of  organic sugar pumpkin cookies.  They tasted just terrible and I joked with my youngest son that we could always make wind chimes out of them.  The cookies were left on a large oval plate on the kitchen Island over night.  This morning when I went into the kitchen a little after 5 am I noticed the cookies on the plate.  Left just as they were a few hours ago.  I began working in the kitchen fixing coffee, emptying the dish washer, ect;   My youngest son who was asleep on the couch woke up and asked if I would get him some juice.  As I turned from the frig.  I noticed that 4 of the cookies had been moved off of the plate and were in a semi curved line with the last cookie upside down.  Now explain that !!!!   I thought maybe I had been mistaken or gone nuts so I checked with hubby and son and no one  had touched them. I swear they were all on the plate earlier.    

It was Friday morning when I went in to the kitchen not this morning as stated.

Spirit has been known to move things around to get our attention.  There was a lady who liked to bake and used Halloween as another opportunity to make unusual goodies.  She was appalled at the cookies as you were and moved them around to show it.

Thank you for your reply.

What you said makes very much sense to me.  
We live in my mother-n-laws house.  We had purchased it from her a few months before her death. Which was 12 years ago.  She would bake all the time.  And I have been told that she is doing the same things over there that she had done here and that this person see's her baking. So with your comment I can feel better about the cookies moving because of my mother-n-law. And not just jumping to the conclusion that oh well that was just Pat (mother-n-law), when it could have been something or someone else.  I was a little concerned that the last cookie being turned upside down may have meant something.
For some reason it seems Pat (my mother-n-law), and I have a close relationship  even though I did not know her for very long.  I know she has been here around the house at different times since her death.  The afternoon she died I was in the kitchen when I heard Pat pull into the driveway and I looked at the clock it was 5:20 pm, the time of her accident which I found out later on.    Pat was not in our driveway to my amazment and I went about my chores.  Later that night we found out about her death.  Then it all made sense.  But I remember looking back and thinking why me?  Why did I hear her pull in our driveway?  She has children.  Why did she reach out to me?  For a while afterwards I felt bad because of the thought that entered my mind when I heard Pat pull into our drive.  It was oh darn Pat's here and I have so much I am dealing with right now.  I felt bad for thinking those thoughts.  It wasn't that I did not want to see her or appreciate her visit.  I was just busy.  I can speak of those thoughts now to where I would'nt have mentioned them before because I felt so bad for thinking those things.  I don't think Pat would hold those thoughts against me.  She knew what it was like to have a home, kids, husband and responsibilitys.  I think about her quit often.  

Quite a story.  It seems you are the sensitive one in the family.  While your in-laws may be wonderful people, there is probably not an open spirit among them.  I think Pat has always appreciated your sensitivities.  Hence there is no lasting remorse for your thoughts at a busy time in the day and your life.
