Dog continues to bark at the wall.

My younger dog, a four year old black, female, schnauzer barks at an area a couple foot square on the western library wall just a few feet from the library door that leads to the diningroom. I wrote about this before but the barking continues. I was working upstairs most of the morning yesterday and I could hear her barking at the wall almost the entire time. Luckily, this old  house is blame near soundproof or that continual barking would really get on your nerves. Same place, every day. Sometimes she frantically digs at the wall while barking at it. Believe me it is getting old. I've checked the area thoroughly and found no evidence of mice or anything else (The walls here are solid brick and 17 inches thick).Besides I have an older grey and white male schnauzer who pays no attention to the wall. I think her barking is getting on his nerves too as he tends to go into the kitchen and as far from her as he can when she is barking at the wall. If she can hear something in that wall, you would think he could too. But either he doesn't hear anything strange or he choses to ignore it. These barking spells can go on for 15 or 20 minutes at a time several times a day. So is the house weird or the dog?

Tinkling bells

Yesyrtday at my wife's shop; she and a customer distinctly heard what sounded like small bells tinkling. It sounded like several bells , but the source of these tinkling bells could not be located. Checking outside, it was determined the sound could only be heard inside the store. She has no strands of bells hanging anyplace in the store. The ringing bells went on for several minutes and finally faded out. No source for these bells was found. I guess this is simply another page of the weird to be ascribed to this old structure.

Film shots a dud

Film taken during Halloween has returned with nothing showing up. Which leaves us with only the digital front door shot. It may be explainable; but at present, I cannot explain it. Oh well theres always May Day.

Halloween somewhat of a bust.

I took numerous pictures with both the 35mm camera and the digital Cannon. Going over the digital photos I noticed only one that had anything unusual show up on it. Shooting my outside Halloween decoration, I took one of the front door from the outside, using only available light. It rained lightly all day and it was almost dark when I shot this one. A light smokey, cloudiness, mist or something appears at the foot of the door and extends off to the right from the porch floor up about 2 and a half foot. The effect is rather light but I did get it to print. Paranormal or just a normal enity, I cannot say. Like I said the weather had been overcast, breezy, and rainy for several days prior to Halloween. I had only about 150 trick or treaters as opposed to my normally 400. I blame the rotten weather for the low turnout. I haven't recieved the processed film back from York as yet so I have no idea whether or not anything might have gotten recorded on it. There was nothing unusual on the tape recorders either. So, maybe all the paranormal that manifested in this old house has played out. The place hasn't been as active as it usually is for the past two years; although strange or weird things do still occur. Some day my prints will come (couldn't help it folks) and when they do I'll report any anomales that show up. But I do not have high hopes.
