A few 'creepy' things in my house that are actually not creepy at all:

The downstairs bathroom door. For some reason dad took it off its hinges awhile ago, and he put it back on at a slant somehow, and now it closes itself - with a good portion of its own weight behind it, so it feels rather forceful. There's no way to get it to stay open more than a crack, as soon as you stop touching it it closes. Tripper has gotten himself locked in the bathroom a few times like this, because he can't figure out how to open the door towards himself, and instead pushes it all the way shut with his nose :P


The mysterious light in the basement. The first time I passed by the basement and saw all the lights were off but it was still illuminated by a blue glow, I was quite frightened. Since then I have found that this happens on most nights, and combined with the fact that Derek and his buddies have been cleaning out down there, I can only conclude they keep leaving some sort of light on down there that isn't controlled by the main switch.


The weird noises in the middle of the night. Most actually dad snoring. Can be quite startling when you're all the way upstairs and at one end of the house, and he's all the way downstairs and at the other end; and he snores sporadically, not constantly. The rest of the noises are bats outside.



Anyways...hmm...Nikka got in a fight last night with something. I assume another cat, but I only heard her yowl, and by the time Tripper charged outside to rescue her, the other thing was apparently gone; he sniffed all over the yard and the path he seemed to be sniffing led to the trees near the woods. Also, she was soaking wet from the belly down. Not like 'the ground is dewy' kind of wet, and it was a hot night so we didn't have much dew anyways. It was like she had been wading in water. The nearest water is the creek in the woods. I'm not drawing any conclusions, it was just a strange incident.

Also, standing outside watching for your dark-colored dog at night, with no glasses on, is fucking scary ;n;

Here's some music:
