I heard a creepy scratching noise in the front room the other day. Started panicking that some animal had come down the chimney or was under the floorboards. Turned out that it was just that the rose in the front garden needs trimming as it’s hitting the window as it moves in the wind.
Some years ago I heard a loud noise in the middle of the night. Since being on my own I have kept a baseball bat under my bed so I started creeping down the stairs, in the dark, baseball bat raised over my shoulder when I stopped and asked myself what the hell I was doing!! Retreated to the bedroom, switched on all the lights making a lot of noise and then started down the stairs - to find a painting had fallen off the wall! I now ensure I switch on the alarm every night!
LOL. That’s what think. Have 3 working guard dogs (Great Pyrenees). I just roll over and go back to sleep, because I know in the morning I will have to put the furniture back in place. They have four acres the play in but, no. They have to play in the house and rearrange all the furniture.
Same here, @Azz , it’s usually something like that with the sound coming out of the storage room. If I’m sure I heard something falling down inside the house, it can only be one of two things, either a smoke detector or a picture, and I would ignore it until the morning.
If the sound is outside, I’d check if I hear it again. If not, it might be a cat and I’d turn to the other side.
Having read ALL. The 'orrable things. Peeps do to protect there pads.

And the salvation army approach you in pubs demanding money for ‘War Cry’ and if you don’t cough up they beat you around the head with a rolled up copy of it…
Similar here. This Mancave is over 100yrs old.
Deeds read. That Trawlermen have constantly lived here.
Have a bedside mat. That moves unknowing during the night, to an adjacent wall.
Presumed hat. In the After world.
Hes concealing his Smuggling. From My Snuggling.
Ours is 1801 built and the adjoined barn has the original old stone cobbled small styled like crazy paving…it is in now the only way to get upstairs to what was at one time the bedrooms…the stairs are a glorified ladder and the floors above are sloping so the whole experience is frightening, but the Stone Martins if they can get it that area are bad very bad…would be about 4.00am we have heard them playing…
