Mysterious Happenings

Let me bring you back in time when my husband had gone to work in a far-a-way state because jobs were scarce here. Someone knew I was alone, and so about four AM almost every morning, he would come and knock on the wall of my house. He seemed to know that that was a bedroom wall. Of course, I told the authorities about it, but there was nothing much they could do.

Some people even thought I was just making it up because I wanted my husband to come home. Well, his job ended after some months and home he came. Four o'clock the next morning after his arrival, came the knocking on the bedroom wall once more. I was glad that my husband heard it along with me, so nobody could ever accuse me of making up that story to get him to come home. That was the end of the knocking because the prowler now knew that I was not alone anymore. I had a pretty good idea who it was, but without proof, I kept it to myself. This (?) person spent some time in jail for other misdeeds that were much more serious.

Fast forward to 2009. I am now a lonely old widow, but somebody wants me to know that I am not always alone. He is out in my yard getting into rather harmless mischief. I bought myself an infra-red camera that enabled me to see what was going on in my back yard during the night. It was connected to my combination TV and VCR tape player. The next day I could watch the tape of the back yard happenings during the night before, if I so desired. I haven't watched all the tapes because it would take hours and hours and I have better things to do.

But someday I might watch all the tapes just to confirm my suspicions. But why waste precious time?
