    Not sure if this will help. The faucet in my bathroom would turn itself on for no known reasons. Didn’t see or hear any spirits or ghosts. The plumber said it was a problem with the valve. You could also have a leaky valve where the water exits the tank at the bottom. Or you may need to adjust the float down slightly. Check out YouTube.

    Usually when a toilet leaks like that it's the flapper. They wear out the fastest. You can get a new one cheaply and just replace it. I hope that's all it is for you.

    My toilet just recently started doing that also. If you flus it it starts to fill then stops. About 15 min later it starts filling again up to the fill line. It doesn't do it every time, just every so often. Crazy!

    theres a leak somewhere. You want to fix it fast - unless you’re on a well it will cost you $$$. Try putting some food colouring in the tank water. Then you will see colored water wherever the leak is.
