What do I do about after-spell activity?
I am comfortable with spell casting and though I've not done this one before, I'm sure I did it right. I cast a seemingly successful protection/reversal spell. I planned to bury the remains in the back yard so I put them in a box to carry them out. An audible tapping began in the box. At first I assumed it was a settling sound but it continued in a way I can't explain. I didn't know what to do. It honestly frightened me because I have been dealing with some serious negativity and felt it might be trying to stay in some way. I opted to tape the box until I could find out if I should handle it differently. On one side of the box it went fine. On the other, it would accept the tape then appear to "jump" open. Again I can't explain. I finally succeeded in getting it taped closed and noticed a small chunk cut out of my finger bleeding profusely. It was frightening so I put the box on the back porch and saged the house so much I set off the smoke alarms. Now I'm questioning what I'm dealing with and what to do about it. I'm a solitary practitioner so I have no one to ask and I'm not finding a similar occurrence in books or threads. Does anyone share a similar experience or have any wisdom to share about this? Thank you!

The first thing that came to mind was that you trapped an animal in the box. As you didn't mention what ingredients you were using, is it possible that there was a chemical reaction of some sort causing the problem? As it was your spell, why were you so afraid to open the box? I suspect there is a simple explanation unrelated to magic.
