Something is in my house - Page 3

Hello Bogart. Good first post!

Lamplighter · 10-22-2010, 09:22 AM

Over the past 35 years we have lived in this house we have had 5 Lab Retrievers.
The house is old but solid and does not creak or have other noises.
But each of those Labs have been absolutely certain there is an "invisible man" in the house or walking around outside.

My wife and I know we are not prone to heart attacks because we have so far survived the random,
out-of-the-blue, loud, vicious, back-hair bristling, barking-and-growling attack modes
of each of these normally friendly dogs.

I have previously written about the "spot of cold" that exists in our downstairs bedroom/office that comes and goes after sunset.
When it happens and one of the dogs is in the room, it will slink away and then sometimes charge back to the doorway again in attack mode.
Any train of thought in progress while working is long gone.

The previous owner was a widow who lived here for 30 years after her husband passed.
She had closed down the upstairs rooms and used that room as her bedroom.
She had a reputation in the neighborhood of being very nice and friendly.
So we have named our night-visitor "Mrs Knox" and try to be accepting everything comes with living an 100-year old house.

I have a mysterious occasional frog, croaking in my front room.

This occasional frog croaking has been going on for several years now. I think the little bugger is living (mostly hibernating?) between a giant plastic plant pot and the attached drip catcher thingie underneath. I've looked everywhere else in that room, and there's just no frogs anywhere, but every now and then he starts making noises.

(Note: The plant was planted in that pot about eight years ago. There were no frogs in it then, and the plant went directly from my former guest bedroom to my current front room - no outside rest stops. The pot is big, and exceedingly heavy - doesn't bother me enough to try to take it apart.)

Just heard him yesterday - first time in probably six months.

Can't imagine what he's eating (haven't found any evidence of bugs in that room, either), but he sings his little froggie songs to me a couple of times a year.

My question is, is this possible? Can a frog stuck between a pot and coaster (for want of a better word) live on nothing for years?

Highly unlikely.

Unless it's a ghost frog.

Haunting by frogs is not uncommon

My mom once thought she had gone the way of crazy old Aunt Leona, who once called my grandmother asking "Do crickets chirp? Do mice squeak?" when her smoke alarm was emitting low battery signals.

She kept hearing a frog (toad, whatever) in her house. Turns out it was living in her spider plant that she had set outside for the summer and had recently brought back into the house.

So, as a joke, I bought a giant plastic garden frog that made frog noises. I put it on top of her plant and waited for her to hear and see the giant plastic frog sitting there.

She loves me...

Something is in my horse. I think it's right under here. He seems very agitated in this area. Oh my God something is all over my face!

Glinda · 10-23-2010, 04:17 PM

Well, I know it's not my smoke alarms!

But I'm not kidding - this plant has been in the house for years and on a few occasions when I've heard him singing, I've been able to track the sound to that corner of the room (before he hears me sneaking around and shuts up again) several times.

And... it's happened to others!

tree frog in overwintering pot-what to do?

while repotting my lemon verbena into a self watering container, I found a live 2" green tree frog that I missed when I brought it in last fall. In MI we still have freezing temperatures and snow outside. I don't know what that frog has been eating for the past 4 1/2 months in the 65 degree foyer. Do you think he will be okey for another 2 months? Maybe I could bury him in the soil next to the house foundation outside if that would help. Thanks for any info.. Last fall I did remove his brother from the same pot.

Also, apparently frogs can spontaneously generate from... air?

Who knew?!

We had these lasers. Late at night, we would direct then to a spot inside someone's house where beams could be directed to a common spot through two windows. Then watch as the resulting cold spot would get people inside disturbed. Reactions were often unique. And always amusing. Anything for a good laugh.

HungLikeJesus · 10-24-2010, 08:37 PM

Couldn't they see the laser?

So, let me see if I've got this strait:

There's a frog that's hung like a horse, and he stuck something in your spouse and now she squeaks like a mouse?

Oh, well you see, it was infrared, so it wasn't visible, and it was that special double secret negative infrared that is cool instead of hot. All you have to do is reverse the polarity of the tachyon field, and Bob's your uncle.
