Oh my Gawd D:

[Urboros]

Last night I went to bed at 10pm, around 11:45pm I woke up. There was this odd noise coming from my window....It sounded like my cat when he eats on my pet plant. I called out my cats name and it stopped so I went back to bed only to hear the rustling noise again, I got out of my bed and opened the curtains and there was nothing there O_o So I decided to get my glasses and inspect further with the lights on. The rustling noised moved above my head!

I thought it was another bat so I ran to find my cat so he could protect me. He was very intrested in the rustling noises, jumping around the room til the thing settled on the mirror. It was a huge pond drake (dragon fly) I tried a to get it out of my room, but failed so I called in my dad (creature catcher extrodinare) He eventualy caught the dragon fly, he had help from the cat though. We let the dragon fly outside finally.

Why do these things happen at night? How did the dragon fly get in my room in the first place?

Ah, I hate hearing noises in the house when it's late. Dx

I always wake up at 3 or 4 am and can't sleep.
It's always then that strange things happen. o.o

This one time I was sitting at my dad's laptop in the middle of the night and suddenly I heard this echoeing throaty noise, like on the grudge.
I freaked out, but it turned out to be my fridge. x.x;
Then, the other night I was upstairs again on my dad's laptop at 3 am and I heard the sound of the dryer go off downstairs, out of nowhere! Why would someone do laundry at 3 in the morning? I didn't go down there to check it out, so that sound is still a mystery. Dx

But a dragonfly in your room at night? How scary, but atleast it's not as bad as having spiders on your ceiling over your bed. x.x;

My cat always climbs onto the roof and paws at the window.
And it isn't just a light pawing noise..
It sounds like she's about to break the window down!(I have a video of it too)
I tried ignoring her but she wouldn't stop. Seriously. I laid in bed from 12am to 3am.
NONSTOP.

Until I let her in.. spoiled brat. >>
And then she thinks it's alright to wake me up at 6am everyday if she's in my room.

[Urboros]

Fridges make weird noises, whe the ice drops late at night I usually jump cause I'm not expecting it <.<;; the movie grudge was kinda funny to me.

Aww, the cat knows were you sleep at least she isn't visiting you at 3 in the morning D: (we keep our cat inside cause he would sit out the window and sing) My cat used to come around 6am at my door, he'd paw and it and meow, wanting in like he's afrain of the hall way. He doesn't do it anymore since I wake up at 6 now.

[tigerangel]

omg
I would have had to either,
a: get out of the room until someone not afraid of big flying bugs came in and killed it.
b: try and knock it to the ground then crush it with a phone book. {the big city type}

[Urboros]

I happened at night so I had to wake my dad up >.>; other option would be sleeping in the tv room and have the cat get excited about a "sleep over" (where he uses you as a mattress) not fun.

Phone book might have worked if the darn dragon fly would land around my level and not on the popcorn on the ceiling, has anyone tried thorwing something heavy up? doesn't quite work.

[Miyani-chan]

I'm not very fond of cats.
. _.
They tend to startle me sometimes.

But a dragonfly in your room?
I haven't seen one for quite some time!
I think they're quite exciting, honestly.
^ w ^

What do you mean by "Popcorn Ceiling"?
o . o

[Urboros]

a celing with little raised bumps on it, I think they call it popcorn because of they way they get them on the celing. Its a can thing and it explodes and sticks bumps on the celing giving it a bump texture.

I'm not sure if the can part is true as my uncle told me that and he's know for making stuff up

[tigerangel]

I'm glad that you were not at home alone, and that your Dad was able to get rid of the little pest for you. Of course having your cat there had to help too.
I am happy that I have two Siberian huskies to greet me, when I come into our house.

[Urboros]

yes I love greeting my cat when I come home, he waits for me to open the door ^^

I was glad to know my cat could hear the noise too, sometiems I hear things that no one else hears and well, they kinda don't listen to me afterwards....

[Angel]

I had a person break into our house at night through my room. While I was sleeping. O.O;

I screamed like a little baby-girl, and he ran off. XD

Luckily they caught him. I think he hurt himself leaping at full speed off the second floor of our house.

[Chu]

I've been hearing a rustling in my air vent lately but my cat's too much of a baby to protect me. :/

[Lunar]

I think possibly one of the most traumatic things I've been through is playing my DS at night when I (used to) sleep on a matress on the floor and seeing something rather large dash across my covers, looking like a dark blur, pretty much instantly freaking out, pointing my DS light in the right direction and there scuttling across my bed is one of those thick black haired spiders, right on my covers by my leg.

Suffice to say I threw a fit, jumping around, and trying to kill it with various objects.. I managed to daze it by hitting it with a SOFT TOY repeatedly, then kill it with the bottom of a glass.. Cried my eyes out. You can imagine it was pretty hard to sleep that night. My mum went out and bought me a cheap bed frame immediately the next day. Haha..

But now I sleep in a heavy Wooden double bed which is uber comfy and havent had many more escapades with those damn things.. but I dont look forward to the summer.. *shudder*

[Urboros]

spiders in the bed *shivers* I clean and wash my sheets to prevent bugies. Get someone to spray poison or something.

Rustling in vents? sounds like rats or squirrels I'd get that checked out before something dies D:> -instant bad smell-

@Angel- That is awesome the scream of death. Did you know what the man was after? we had some guys come here and break in cars for garage clickers, then crash into a wall trying to escape the police :/

[Angel]

He just said he was going to go in.

We didn't have any cars in our drive-way since a lot of people were coming over the next day, so I guess he just thought no one was home. XD

But I'll tell you one thing: That cheeky bastard got the thrill of his life when he jumped into a room filled with a screaming 9-year-old and over 20 swords. XD
