Default Things that go *bump* in the night...

Every so often something a bit random happens...like 2 nekkid people running down my road at 3am ( I witnessed this as they stopped outside my drive for a bit of a breather and woke me up with their loud chatting!!)


The latest random weird thing is that it's 00:30, and someone is out mowing their back garden

WTF? Do normal sized lawn mowers come fitted with headlights these days, or is this person going to wake up tomorrow with a badly mown lawn, and flower bed?


Is it just my town thats got strange inhabitants (excluding me, of course)

What happens around your way??

You dont live here do you?

The Eerie Indiana Episode Guide

Loved this show

1. "To whom it may concern. If you're reading this document, it
means I'm either dead - or disappeared under mysterious
circumstances. My name is Marshall Teller. Not long ago I
was living in New Jersey just across the river from New York
City. It was crowded, polluted, and full of crime. I loved
it. But my parents wanted a better life for my sister and me
- so we moved to a place so wholesome, so squeaky clean, you
could only find it on TV. Unfortunately, nothing could be
further from the truth. Sure, my new home town *looks*
normal enough, but look again. What's wrong with this
picture? The American dream come true, right? Wrong. Nobody
believes me, but this is the center of weirdness for the
entire planet. Eerie, Indiana. My home sweet home. Still
don't believe me? You will."

my next door neighbour hammering at five in the morning. Putting decking down in his garden at five in the morning. He also does gardening in the rain, mows the lawn at half eleven at night and cuts his hedge once a week.

Wasn't around salisbury was it because we were out in togas, well until they were either stolen or misplaced. Gotta keep moving to stay warm you know.

Well we live out in the sticks, too far away from civilisation for that.

I would have thought you would be grateful for your luck with all that going on!

My nearest neighbour regularly launches bottle rockets (fireworks), which explode with a very loud bang, at crows perched on his roof at 5 or 6 am.

I have seen my (drunk) father inlaw on his garden tractor, with a cigar in his mouth and trying to hold a glass of wine, headlamps ablaze, we just caught him as it tipped him off down the embankment


My neighbour, very keen on getting on with his extension at 5am, placing bricks silently into a skip, what woke us up was the security light going on and off !

it's usually my cats. One of them is a heavyweight champion. So when he moves in the middle of the night, earth shakes The little (older in age than the fatty) one sometimes desides to sit on the shelf near my Indian drum, and flaps her head around the drum skin. That sudden drumming scares the life out of me sometimes

People on our estate wash their cars in the rain, cut their grass in the rain, or in the dark, the bloke opposite regularly stands at his window staring into ours and every morning without fail a bloody cockrel over on the other estate wakes us up at 6am loud as anything and can go on until atleast 7:30am!

Haha, was just going to post something similar.

When I was at college in Perth I had an escaped loony actually wake me up on a few occasions. He had a problem with the people in the house next door to where I stayed.

A few times at about midnight he would be banging on their door(I was on the second floor so could see everything). One time he was banging on the door so hard he broke the window glass. Then when the owner opened the door the nutter began squeeling like a pig. He was about 6 foot 4 as well, ******* dangerous.
