For a while now we’ve been hearing odd thumping noises at night from outside and one morning they either woke Kathy up or stopped her going back to sleep.
At first we thought it was our neighbours daughter ( who lives in their shed ) doing teenage girl things.
But the other day I was talking to my next door neighbour and she said she’d heard it too and I’ve heard much louder noises during the day.
Yesterday I was out in the garden and I heard the noises coming from the garden of one of the new houses behind us. Not only did I hear thumping noises like the ones we’d heard at night but I also hear much louder ones and what sounded like an animal moving round in hay or wood shavings. The loud thumps sounded like the noise a hoofed animal would make if it struck out with a leg and hit a wooden wall.
So the person behind us has some sort of “animal” living in their shed. But its an odd animal in that it never makes any other noise. If it was a pony or a goat or a donkey or a miniature cow then you’d hear other animal noises. If it was something like a giant vorpal bunny (i.e. The Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog) which doesn’t usually make many noises then it wouldn’t sound like it was hoofed.
So maybe its a mute goat or something like that?
The more perverted and odd amongst you can probably come up with a lot more causes of odd noises coming from a shed at the bottom of someone’s garden, please do not share them here!
