So last night as I was about to go to bed I started hearing these weird thumps in the bedroom. It sounded a little like dripping but not quite, it was heavier than that. So I got up and walked to where it seemed to be coming from. Then it stopped and started again on the opposite side of the room. So I figured I must’ve misheard and went to the new place. It stopped and now it seemed to be coming from inside a wall on yet another side of the bedroom. Walked over there. Stopped and started again from what seemed to be up in the loft.

I chased it around like that for about a minute or so. Then I needed a sanity check. So I called Mord who was still downstairs. He came up and I asked him to verify this weird sound. He heard it too and it seemed to be moving around for him too. It would actually pop up near me when he’d walk around on the other side of the room. We both kinda went WTF and weren’t sure what to do about it since we couldn’t figure out WTH it was.

Chased it around the room a few more times until suddenly it stopped entirely. Then I moved and it started again. Right below me in the floor. So I moved back to where I was. Stopped again. So I stepped away, got down onto the floor to put my ear against it and I heard it very clearly. And then the light bulb went on and I went: “Is the ceiling fan in the kitchen on?” and mord lol’d and confirmed it. It’d been on the high setting and it gets a little unstable on that setting so the base knocks on the ceiling a bit. So he went downstairs to turn it off and the mystery sound was gone.

The way our place is built makes the acoustics incredibly weird sometimes. That combined with me standing on parts of the floor which apparently affected the fan below made for a very interesting mystery hunt lol. Really should have TAPS come out here. Bet they’d find all sorts of ‘paranormal activity’ here.
