    110% a ghost.

    A ghost alright... waiting for 20000 years to make that noise and then vanish again.

    No way it's a ghost it's the only explanation.

    The op was chewing on a werthers original.

    When I was about 16 I had an electric guitar. I left it leaning against the edge of the couch with the strings facing in one evening and walked out of the room. As soon as I was outside the room I heard the twang of strings like someone had raked their fingers over them in an open strum. I stopped in my tracks. No-one else around and the guitar hadn't moved when I went in.
    Probably deserves it's own thread but I'll leave it here.

    It was a moth.

    Or, as my wife would describe it "Get that flappy b*stard away from me now!"

    The Mrs and I were outside the back of the house making an adjustment to the bird station when I clearly heard a footstep in the gravel which sounded like it was only feet away (we were both stood still). It was a really obvious walking footstep sound (heal going in first then crunch as the sole comes down). The thing is there was no-one else around. The nearest neighbour is 50 yards away behind a row of trees. I asked the Mrs if she heard that & she said she did.

    Your neighbour emptied the clip

    It would need to have been the Moth-ley Crue to make that sound.

    Perhaps a little mini mountain of gravel collapsed or a creature jumped onto the gravel and did a Usain Bolt exit to the undergrowth.

    It was the ghost of Ronnie Drew clearing his throat.

    Edit: OP - 5 posts in two years? The ghost is yuo.

    Not your ornery onager

    Viagra should sort out the "flappy bastard".

    Were there balloons randomly in the air when you turned around? You could float, too!
