I think my clock is haunted.
 
I recently moved to a new place, and there was a clock in the room.
It didn't work and I assumed it needed batteries so I bought some.
When I looked it already had a battery, but then I heard it ticking.
I put it back up and noticed it was an hour back, so I put it forward.
Later that week I realise it's an hour back again, so I fix it again.
And again. And now for the fourth time, it needs to be put an hour forward.

I kind of like the clock so I don't really wanna buy a new one
:rolleyes:

But is this normal for clocks? I've never had this issue before LOL
It actually runs perfectly, apart from always being an hour late.

:confused::confused::confused:

It needs new batteries for one and maybe new gears for another. I tends to happen to clocks over time, they actually slowly start to get slower and lose their accurate tracking. If it just suddenly went from accurate to 1 hour behind in no time, then that's a more pressing issue. Otherwise it's a normal occurrence and it just needs some tuning and work.

It was an hour back when I posted, it is now actually several minutes ahead. I think it's time I buy a new clock!

LOL

Perhaps it has been unused for some time and the new batteries were a shock for it's little idle cogs. Don't give up on it yet, like all things that have been unused and suddenly become active it can take a little time to adjust....
