Today I had the opportunity to check back at the ghost noise spot and while I didn't hear the exact same noise as I had before I did hear something that I think may have been similar. So that almost definitely rules out the other dimensional crossing theory out. I'm pretty sure now it's a directed echo from somewhere but I'm not sure yet where so I might be interested enough at some point in the next week to get some friends together with my wife and I to try some experiments. Something else I noticed though was that there was an outside air conditioning fan on the other side of a building on the side of the street that would be behind the ghost noise and it was making the weird water dripping noise sound kind of like how I remember it. However, after I walked back to the spot a second time this morning (at 5 am, in the dark, looking very suspicious) I didn't hear it right where I did before. But that's a good lead, I thought, and might be able to trace it easier now that it seems to be coming from and outdoor air cond

I just had one of the strangest experiences of my life. I was walking my normal routine, wandering, checking dumpsters for scratched lottery tickets, metal, books, valuable junk, canned food, and stuff and as I was passing a certain spot on the side walk I heard a sound. This sound was easy to recognize but the strange thing about it was that the directionality of the sound swiveled as I walked past this point. Also, the sound was of water dripping rapidly with a kind of echo to it. My first thought was that it was water streaming through the drainage sewers beneath the sidewalk and the sound was echoing off of the building on the opposite side of the street so I stepped out into the street and checked the curb on my side of the street for the source of the noise. But to my surprise there were no grates for a drainage sewer on my side of the street. My second thought then was to wonder about how loud the sound I was hearing was. It was loud enough that I didn’t question whether or not I was hearing something, I just couldn’t find out where the noise was coming from. To think that it would echo off of the building from my side of the street was kind of a stretch. So then I remembered that the grass area on my side of the street had a drainage tube that ran underneath the length of the road from the other side. The sound must have been coming from behind me and by some trick of echo it made it sound like it was coming from the opposite direction. So I walked into the tall grass and put myself within a direct line of sight with the opening of the tube and I still didn’t hear anything.
At this point I had one last theory although I couldn’t figure out how that could be the source so I decided to investigate more. I mean, at 5:30am in the morning you can pretty much wander around like a madman without the fear that anyone is going to see you and bother and this was incredibly interesting to me; I really wanted to discover the truth behind this strange echo. So I walked a larger circle around the smaller circle that I could hear the sound from and made a perimeter from where I could and couldn’t hear the noise and it definitely indicated that the sound was coming from the building directly across the street. So I cross the street and walk up to the building, I couldn’t hear the sound. Then I made a 90 degree turn to my left and followed the parking lot next to the building directly towards their sprinklers which were going at the time thinking that there’s no other possible explanation, the sound had to originate from where the most water was being distributed in the general area. But again as I made it up to the sprinklers I still heard no sound. Coincidently then as well the sprinklers shut off which reminded me of the scene in Donnie Darko where Donnie is walking by the motivational speakers’ house, he bends down to find the guy’s wallet laying in the side walk, the sprinklers shut off, and a mysterious voice says to Donnie, “Now you know where he lives.” So on the off chance that I was in some sort of tangent Universe I stood there for a moment waiting for some voice to help explain the situation to me. Nothing came so I carried on up to the sprinklers then straight back to the original spot where I heard the sound. Making my way there I thought to myself, ‘certainly the sound is no longer happening or if it is I should hear it slowly dwindling away, drips slowing and getting farther apart. The sound was still happening with no discernible change. I stood for another couple of minutes to see if that would remain the same and it did. All I could figure at this point was that, ‘yes, either I am in a tangent Universe or the sound is coming from one.’ Either way, my mind had been foiled. I couldn’t figure it out. As I continued walking home I was careful to listen for any remnants of the sound since all my prior investigations had been in the opposite direction but I still heard nothing. Ghost noise…cool. That is the world I want to live in. Thank you god! |
