ok i didnt read the rest of the thread, but a similiar thing frieked me out once..
i woke up to the sounds in my room, and they were pretty loud, im not one to wake up by noises and shit unless its constant... so i hear this shit going on my attic, and it was bout 8 months after id been robbed, and occasionaly ive heard people coming back (imo)..
so i got the shits of just turning my light on and of, and for some reason at the top of my voice yelled fuck of and proceeded to get my kendo sword out. it sounds really stupid but for some reason i thought they were in the house by that stage.
my mum was awake the whole time and laughed her arse of and said it was a possum, which after more listening, it was...
theres no point to this story except waking your household and laughing at it, i dunno.
