If You Hear Creaky Noises at Night, You May Not Be Alone

wow you're heating up some instant noodles when suddenly you hear something outside you ignore it for a while but the ruckus gets louder and then a large bag you start and head outside with a flashlight you notice your trash can toppled over and some discarded food scattered all over the ground since you're near a forest chances are some curious and hungry raccoons have been rummaging through your trash looking for dinner you put the trash can in place and head back inside and oops your instant noodles are no good anymore they're overcooked it's finally time to hit the sack you head upstairs burrow into your thick blankets and turn off the lights as you take the train to snoozeville you start hearing some squeaking and crackling you slowly open your eyes to the potential dangers around your mind begins playing all sorts of scenes in your head where you end up at the bottom of the lake you hear some more unusual cracking but this time it's coming from other areas of the house it's nothing to worry about the concrete metal and wood in the house react to changes in temperature and even humidity levels metal expands during the day when the sun is at its peak but when it sets the metal relaxes and goes back to its regular size this can also be said about wood and concrete but on different levels so the fact that it's happening all over the house just means the house is reacting to many changes yeah you can go back to bed but in the middle of the night you get up to pour yourself a glass of water on your way down you miss a step and almost trip but recover you gulp down your water and try to sleep again but this time you hear what sounds like someone hitting a metal pipe oh you can't take it anymore and get up to scout around you check the entire upper floor where you're sleeping until all that's left is the bathroom you enter inside and what do you know the sound is coming from the pipes themselves sometimes if they haven't been used in a long time you might hear some eerie sounds this is just because of some loose pipes that need tightening or inconsistent water flow well one thing's certain you make a note to call a plumber in the morning you're back in bed ready to fall asleep this time you start to enjoy the smooth sounds of nature you hug your pillow like nothing's wrong except an annoying whistle jolts you back up ah again you try your best to ignore it but just simply can't your eyes are turning red you toss your blankets over and try to find that sound the whistle pops in every now and then as you try to find it but after a while it stops you try to listen carefully and this time nothing but you won't take that chance and go to bed just yet you wait around until you hear it again out of nowhere the whistle creaks through and you rush to the source a small window by the stairs was cracked open you're furious with yourself and slam it shut this time you check all around the house to see if anything was left open or could make some noise while walking back upstairs you step on many loose wooden floor panels that make a creaky sound whenever you step on them this makes you boil inside you make it to the bed but this time you're not even sleepy anymore your eyes are popping out and you're in a state of total awareness you hear the frogs outside croaking underwater the sound of a car driving on the highway a few miles away you keep looking around trying to find out where a potential sound may come from trying to collect yourself you turn off the lights as minutes pass you finally accept that nothing will disturb you tonight you close your eyes and try to sleep in peace but out of nowhere a buzzing sound flies by you open one eye trying to identify anything and then it buzzes again you turn the lights back on and rub your head suddenly you start scratching your arm rigorously a mosquito has been biting you for a while but if all the windows and doors are closed then how did it get here for one thing you're surrounded by nature so it's only natural to have mosquitoes around even if it's quite cold but when you earlier went to see what the raccoons did your trash can you left the door wide open and that was a huge mistake all these vermin take that opening as an opportunity to seek shelter from outside and see the world of humans the mosquito probably hung around for a while before flying way up the stairs and into your bedroom you turn on the lights and spot the little creature and after chasing it around you finely cup it with a glass and release it outside boy you're nicer than i would be anyway you inspect your room one last time to see if you missed anything all clear you close your bedroom door and get back to bed you take another mental note to buy earplugs asap and without wasting any more time you shut your eyes trying desperately to fall asleep you hear some scampering outside but you ignore that it's probably just those raccoons again but this time there's the same sound inside too and it sounds like scratching a chalkboard you rise out of the bed startled by what you heard you try to identify the source of the scratching until it leads you to a hidden area behind the closet you rummage through the stuff and find what looks like a mouse hole you freak out immediately knowing there are tons of mice right behind the walls of the house you've been living there for less than 24 years but they've most likely been living and multiplying for years you make yet another mental note to call pest control first thing in the morning you hit the sack once more and close both ears with a pillow as time passes you hear a faint noise coming from outside it's not the sound of animals but people they're talking and laughing out loud you go to the window and see a group of people gathered just beyond the forest and throwing a little party some of them are even drifting along the main road and eating donuts you don't have the energy to kick them out so you pace around your bedroom hoping they'll leave soon you wash your face just to freshen up and after a couple of hours they finally leave you're back in bed with a pillow over your head you can't take it anymore you need to sleep but nothing is going your way your eyes are heavy and you're sweating you toss and turn in bed with some of the pillows falling on the floor your heart is racing your mind is playing tricks on you the shadows in your bedroom start to look like monsters waiting to jump you your ears are little satellites trying to pick up any disturbances a tree branch cracks in the window outside you imagine someone climbing the tree ready to break into your house at any second water drips from the faucet irregularly making you think some horrifying creature is lurking in the pipes of your house you can't help but stay awake for the time being while all these scary scenes play in your head what if someone just barged in your room and demanded all of your cash what if someone broke in and started eating all the food in your fridge you turn on the lights and head downstairs to double check if all the doors and windows are locked after that you go back upstairs with a clear head at least you can put some of those thoughts to rest you fix your bed and try once again to close your eyes and fall asleep you start counting sheep but it doesn't do anything except distract you you just see all those mental notes jumping over the fence you're back to square one you look outside and see the first signs of dawn you can see the details of the forest and then after a while the sun rays shine right through the curtain and begin to strike your eyes great you get up and head downstairs to try to cook up some breakfast knowing it's going to be a long day
