I have to admit, they are braver than I am. If I'd have heard voices from the crawlspace at 11pm I don't think I'd have checked it out.My friend and I were house-sitting for my parents at their semi-rural bungalow home in West Vancouver, Canada for a few weeks this August, 2007. It was on the night of the 24th that we were watching TV at about 11 pm that we started to hear a low pitched, on-again-off-again humming or groaning sound and we were both unable to pinpoint the source despite checking every room of the house several times. Within an hour we began to hear muffled voices through the floor, one male, one female coming from the crawl-space of the basement. We checked the crawl-space and found no one. At about 2 AM as the sound and voices continued we retired to bed and that is when we started hearing very audible footsteps from other parts of the house. I got up checked around and came back to bed, when the porch light turned on and off twice. I got up again and checked the porch and the switch, finding nothing wrong. Finally, getting back into bed I had just turned out the light when we both heard a very loud bang accompanied by the sound of breaking glass com from somewhere in the house. We both jumped out of bed and immediately went room-to-room with phone and antique sword in hand turning on all the lights expecting to find an intruder. After careful inspection of each interior window, light fixture and even the car windows in the driveway and as the humming and voices continued we decided that we would be best to leave the house and make the 30 minute drive home to Vancouver. I did not return until the following Sunday during the daylight. Checking the house again I reserved myself to the fact that I would not find the source of the broken glass sound. It was at that moment that I opened the kitchen cupboard to pour myself a drink that I discovered the exploded drinking glass. Aside from an over one-inch piece the glass had shattered into little, tiny bits, not like it should look like had the glass just fallen over. The glass covered most of the bottom shelf had it had not been removed from a dishwasher or washed for at least 2 days. My friend and I cannot come up with a reasonable explanation for the events of that night other than it was the work of the supernatural. Belwo are two photos of the exploded glass taken with a 1 MP camera phone. Sincerely, Damian damiandefinite@hotmail.com

I wonder if there is an easy way to test that.
