In my sun lounge I often hear noises, scrabbling in the walls & under the floor, I think some sort of furry rodent has go in under the floor & is trying to live there. I bang hard, on either the walls or the floor, depending where the noise is coming from & it usually stops, for a while anyway.
I think a rodent is a safe bet.

There again, I would probably have believed in the Cottingley fairies when I first saw them, if they hadn't all sported the same early 1920s hair styles of the day!
Thank you, that’s insightful

Infrasound, especially around 17 - 19 Hz, has been experimentally proven to induce hallucinations in many people.

Re: Things that go bump in the night...

The Foreign Office commissioned a film about our previous property where the strangest things happened on an almost a daily basis for 11 of the 15 years we lived there. An American film company would have paid us many thousands of £s to also make a film of the 'activity', but we turned them down as we were not happy at the way they were going to present it. It could be very annoying, but it didn't scare us as we don't believe in the paranormal and were always looking for a natural explanation. There were quite a number of independent witness to the goings on there.

Re: Things that go bump in the night...

Well we would not do that.

We moved eventually because the large property was getting too much for me to cope with after my husband's illness. We still had our adopted Down's Syndrome son living with us too. We needed to downsize to something smaller without so much land attached.

Re: Things that go bump in the night...

I have heard many a bump in the night, but none that could be attributed to ghosties and ghoulleys.

We used to have a ghostly face appear on a wall at work, but that was just formed by bits of kit and pipework viewed in certain light.

I was out with two friends on our motorbikes one summer evening when we rode through a cold spot formed in a very shallow dip in the road. All three of us felt the sudden drop in temperature but we just assumed it was cold air perhaps from a stream flowing across the road.

I once came across a cold spot when out walking my dog near where the ghost of three nun's were supposed to appear. It was dark and starlit, so just enough light to see the road, when I saw a darker shape amongst the darkness, but again it was near a stream, and the brain interprets all sorts of shapes as things it knows so I don't believe it was a ghost.

Re: Things that go bump in the night...

Reminded me of a story I heard a few days ago where an Alexa echo dot suddenly blurted out 'There's a ghost in your house'..... Right out of the blue like.
