Footsteps in the attic. Lights flickering. Strange sounds in the walls.
Will this torment never end?

The gaslight is out.
I have one and she's sick in bed. I think it's something else.
Dare I say . . . the wind?

Now there's a possibility. The wind here causes all manner of odd noises. I get concerned when it sounds like something is rolling on the roof. Things aren't supposed to be rolling on the roof.
Otherwise you might need to call an exterminator. The Ghost Busters car is parked at an airport parking lot here. Maybe we could rent it.

Molly, you have mentioned this sort of problem before; I thought you'd fixed it ?
Good Luck

You do know you can't claim them as deductions...according to the commercials on TV.

We had a lot of wind yesterday. It makes this old house creek and groan. Of course, all the recent renovations didn't help.
Things are still settling.If you're talking about the squirrels I had in the attic, they've been evicted. Vicious little monsters.
Shoot. Now I have to redo my taxes.
Hmmm, never tried that. Not much for drug usage. So, it causes hallucinations?
You take the fun out of everything.

That's one possible term. Carlos Casteneda, in the Don Juan fictions, calls it Alternate Reality, and I agree. The alkaloid brew in datura interrupts nervous system signals; lacking inputs, the brain invents its own perceptions -- which seem just as valid as 'normal' reality.
Various Native American groups used datura in coming-of-age ceremonies. A kid is given a cup of tea and escorted to a safe place. There they see and converse with spirits, animals, and gods while flying around the universe. The interactions are indistinguishable from ordinary life. Datura is a great way to promote the belief system.
I had no belief system to reinforce; I was merely curious. I brewed tea from seeds on a plant growing by my desert shack. (Wide dark-green leaves smelling like rancid peanut butter; huge white trumpet flowers; spiny seed pods, giving it the common name 'thorn-apple'.) I stumbled about my shack, gaining bruises. Many faceless people climbed in my windows and entered my little bathroom, which remained empty. I flew around the world and spoke with dead relatives. Other things happened, leaving physical proof that all the hallucinations were not false.
Once was enough.

It could be the radiation mutated, acid scarred and one handed man (with a hook) who sneaked into your attic, the strange sounds are when he was subduing his latest victim. The flickering lights are when he sets up and uses his electric torture devices.
A windy night in a creaky house would be a perfect time to set up residence in the attic.
But don't worry too much, he wants a 'normal' resident in the house he uses for his 'experiments', so you're safe, it's the neighbors who need to be worried.

Strange practice, that. I have enough people in my head without inviting more.
Oh, that guy. I leave him meals daily and make him promise not to mess with those in my hood.
