Noises

There are just weird noises here tonight and they are starting to freak me out enough that I am going to sleep. A little earlier there was this weird electronic sound, not like the normal ringing in my ears that I sometimes get, but more like a dentist drill. I have no idea what it was, it only lasted a minute or so, but it was really irritating. I tried to figure out what it was, but I never did. Then, just a minute ago, there was a sound like someone lightly tapped the metal trash can near me, only there is nobody to have tapped it. That last one I will assume was a bit of trash that had not quite settled. Yes, must be someone's way of telling me that I should be asleep. :)

That sort of thing happens pretty frequently here -- and while I have become used to it in some ways, it does get me still. Two nights ago there was the sound of a sort of scratching or rubbing of something on the wall behind my right should in the living room. At first I thought it was maybe the music I was listening to. It happened 3 times, then that was it.

Also, electronics sometimes get a bit wonky around here.

I've been convinced for about a year now that there is something in the house, but it does not feel at all bad. Just... playful at times.

It just doesn't help when I'm reading stuff on abduction or whatever.

Lesley, weird, especially in connection with the boom you heard the other night.

Actually the boom was in the middle of the afternoon and I still don't know what it was. I do know it wasn't an earthquake, but that is all I know.

The electronic humming noise was weird too because I have no clue what it was either. Whatever it was seemed like it was very near me, but the only thing electronic near me was my MacBook and I am sure the sound wasn't coming from there.
