Surprising Sounds from Your Own Computer

Imagine shutting off your computer and settling into bed only to be woken up to an unexpected visitor—Hank Williams crooning through the speakers, “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry.” This is just one of the many surreal sounds that can disrupt our peace at night. Have you ever experienced something as strange as this?

Noisy Nights in the Lower Levels

Living in a basement apartment comes with its own set of peculiarities. I’ve experienced the nightly stomping of a son who prefers to enter the house through the back door, despite having access to the front. His midnight adventures are so loud that they outshine the noise level of any daytime activities, as if he’s intentionally trying to make as much racket as possible.

The Scary-Monster Under the Bed

Say hello to B.B., my cat, who played a very convincing scary monster as a ten-year-old me lay in bed, paralyzed with fear. The snoring noises beneath the bed had me convinced I was sharing the room with a low-rumbling stranger. Once my courage returned, I investigated, only to discover the source of the “monster” was actually a playful, if a bit scared, cat.

The Mysterious Dudes at the Bar

One night, while having a couple of Hornitos on the rocks in a San Francisco bar, two peculiar individuals caught my attention. They had an intriguing accent and a strange demeanor, yet they sought my assistance to reach the top floor of a parking garage. Initially, I thought they might be after something or someone, but their polite behavior and lack of any intoxicating odor dispelled this notion. Their unique conversation, involving a clicking-whistle language, further caught my attention, making me question if I was in the right place.

Would you have the fortitude to offer help to strangers with a language like that? This encounter with these mysterious individuals left me pondering the people I might come across during my night-time musings.

These true tales of the strange and strange encounters underscore the importance of staying aware and open to the inexplicable. Whether it’s a friend on your computer, a late-night stomper in the back, a cat in your bed, or quirky individuals at your local watering hole, the night can surprise us in the most unexpected ways.
