Okay, maybe. I doubt it, but theres something going on that's freaking us out.
I wasn't going to post this, but JUST now, it happenend again, slightly louder than ussual.
Anyway. We're in an apartment on a college campus... the building is no more than 30 years old, and seems to be in good shape. The roof is flat.
A month or so ago, we started hearing loud thuds from the ceiling.
Its not scampering animal feet (although I heard that once, I think). Its a defenite THUD. They range from annoyingly loud to frighteningly loud.
No, I haven't mentioned this to campus security. I've assumed its something up with the roof. But.
Its a second floor apartment- nothing above us except insulation and shingles, and maybe pipes. And no one goes climbing around up there. And the noises are WAY too loud to be animals... Could it be the roof falling down? I'd imagine we'd hear more creaking and groaning if that was it. We were hear a good two or three months before it started happening. Yes, this coincideded with the arrival of snow. But it doesn't seem to variate with snowfall/temperature.
Didn't mean to write this much. But its gotten annoying. Does it fit the modus operandi of a poltergeist? I don't know much about them.
Oh! And the smells. We smell odd, strong, realistic odors occasionaly, for brief periods of time. Yes, its a college, chances are they're floating in from nearby apartments. But its winter, so all the windows are shut. And twice when it happened I openend the door and checked the hall-nothing.
So far, we've smelled pizza (warm Papa John's, to be precise) peanut butter (very strong, it was like I had my nose in a jar of it) and my roomate smelled cherries earlier today. We've never both smelled something, only one of us.
So. Are we crazy?
