The book didn't lie open
In the morning, while I was busy preparing to go for work, I found a book on the floor, just before I almost had a trip over it. As I wanted to find where I should put it back later, I picked up the book which looked fall down on the floor from somewhere of my bookshelf and threw it on my messy desk lightly. And as I finished getting ready to go for work, I scrambled to leave home. At night, when I got back home and got to the desk to tidy up the mess on it, I was amazed to see how the book was. From what I remembered, that didn't lie open when I put it down on my desk, but it was surely open. It was impossible as long as someone came home and opened it. When it occurred to me that there weren't anyone knew my apartment door password and none could touch it, I felt scared.

I don't think it was a ghost or spirit !
When you want a book to stay open at a particular page you run your finger firmly up and down the binding at the centre. You must have been unaware that it had fallen on the floor in such a way that the binding was 'set' by the heavy fall to open at that place, so that is what happened when you placed it 'lightly' on the desk.
