There appears to be a fairly large creature dwelling in a woven wood box in my bathroom. Well, 'appears' probably isn't the right word to choose, since I haven't actually seen it. Rather, I've heard it.
Quite frankly, It's freaking the hell out of me.
I'm going to guess it's an insect, because of several reasons I don't feel like listing. I'm also going to assume it's large, because, well. I can hear it scratching at the inside of the box. It is a large box. You could fit three or four infant children in it. If the thing was small, it would have crawled out by now.
Anyway, it momentarily stopped making noise when I turned on the bathroom light, but that didn't stop it for too long. When I tried to take flash pictures of the box to see if I could see anything inside it, it stopped moving, and hasn't moved since. As far as I can tell, anyway.
More on this story as it develops. I will use the aforementioned camera to (hopefully) take pictures of whatever it is when I confront it.
Why should you care? Because if it turns out I don't find anything, or it's some dinky little bug, you reserve the right to call me a pussy.
-
Just the exciment I was looking for tonight!
-
My money is on a rat.
-
That's a possibility. Wouldn't a rat be squeaking and such though? Or making other noises?
-
Yeah, it would probably squeak. Good point. Probably not a rat.
-
Wow, the suspense is killing me!
-
Maybe its the devil taking an invisible dump...

Take Box,
go outside,
turn upside down,
remove lid,
shake,
???,
PROFIT.
-
What kind of noise is it making? I know a lot about animals, especially varmints. So if
you can get a recording than I may be able to identify it.
-
Frankly, x-ray was DESIGNED with this in mind. Either that or try cracking open an MRI machine. Try a metal detector to see if it's metallic! I would probably open it eventually though... Are you sure it's not several bugs? It could be like, a whole family of spiders or something... ew.
In the worst case scenario, its a Squmpkin, and you should run for your life.
Hmm... You could be onto something there... I was right!! AAAH!
-
Just man up and check what's inside of the box. Worst case scenario, giant spider jumps you. DO IT FAGGOT.
-
My money is on a rat.
Rat would have gnawed its way out. Guarantee.
Let that **** out, dawg. If you're scared, carry a piece. Loaded or not, it's the intimidation that matters.
-
Why do I want to know what it is so badly?
Find out! If you open it up and it's a clown then the best thing to do is show it you're not scared, by the way. Pennyworth only feeds on those negative emotions.
-
Very nice reference. Props.
-
Um, Lucas, you live in brazil... where there are monkey and bird spiders, the size of an infant. So I'd disagree.
But assuming Uber doesn't live in South America... I have no idea what it could be
OPEN IT.
-
I... Must... Know...
-
Hmmm. A bat would squeak and flutter.
As others have said, a rat or mouse would have chewed its way out.
I think it's a frog. I dunno. Random guess.
-
I bet it was a zombie chihuahua, and it bit off his face and now he's dead, which explains why he hasn't responded to this thread yet. Way to go, us.
-
It's probably a Solifugae, mostly known by the name of "camel spider".
Okay, it's probably not, but imagine if it was one!
Probably just a small rodent. Or a cockroach nest. Or a soul trapped within your bathroom, seeking for vengeance upon the last resident, who murdered him.
-
Duct tape that ****, put it out in some gravel, and light it up with some household napalm. Don't even give a **** what it is. Animal control can **** itself.
-

That would be awesome... ... ... ... ... ... GIVE ME THE FRICKIN BOX! NOW! :D
-
Yes, because I live in a hut in the middle of a forest, and I have a jaguar as a pet instead of a cat.
Of course, what other alternative is there?
-
Of course, what other alternative is there?
Living on a giant stone Jesus on top of a hill?
-
So uh. I have reason to believe it escaped. Somehow. That, or flash photography killed it, and when my dad was ruffling through the box, he didn't notice it because it was dead.
Yes, yes I do have a vivid imagination.
Yeah, so. I dunno. I'm at a loss here. I'm not sure how it could have left, or why it stopped making noise after I tried to take pictures, or why my dad didn't find anything when he opened the box.
I'm not calling it until I have definitive proof that it's gone, though.
Oh, and I had to address this comment.

This guy has the right idea.
-
o.O
*cue Twilight Zone theme*
-
That sucks. You need to find it kill it or something or it'll come after you again.
-

When is this not true, though?
-
Beware, it's hidden inside the toilett now - waiting for you to place thine butt on the wing once more so it can extract it's maleficent bug revenge.
-
Hm... gone you say? Or did you haplessly release its captured essence in the box?
At night, you will now hear this:
"BEWARE, I LIVE!" "RUN RUN RUN" "I HUNGER" "RUN, COWARD!" and variations thereof, and a blood curdling scream. Good luck.
-
Well, that was anticlimactic.

For those not fluent in almost-old-English, what he said translates crudely to "You gonna get raep'd".
-
Could it have possible been one of these?
-
You should have killed it when you had the chance. Now you'll wake up in the middle of the night with god knows what on your chest eating your face.
-
Maybe it's El Chupacabra?
-
Maybe it's El Chupacabra?
If it is, lock up your chickens/cats/small furry rodents in cages/what-have-you.
-
Maybe the Boogeyman (read Lucas) coming to rape you.
I sure hope for you it wasn't an insect or such building a nest, and now it's waiting for the others.
-
Perhaps it was acute schizophrenia.
-
Schizophrenia dosent really come in acute though. Youve got paranoid, catatonic, schizo spectrum, schizo affective etc.
Id say it was a rat. Or a possum
-
Could've been a Hound of Tindalos. They're said to make a scratching or chewing sound when they're near. It would also explain your inability to find any trace of it in the box, as it could have escaped through any of the corners. If I am correct in my theory, your only appropriate course of action would be to immediately find or construct a completely round room (NO corners), and spend the remainder of your life inside it.

Just put traps in your corner and eat it with chocolate sauce after it's dead.

So.
For the past few nights, mosquitoes have been driving me completely insane. They've kept me up until five in the morning for two nights in a row.
Last night they were bothering me, so I decided to turn on the light and try to kill some. I killed a couple and went back to bed. Minutes later, I heard noises outside my room. Noises slightly resembling those I heard in the bathroom. So I got up to check.
Standing from my doorway, I could spot at least five cockroaches. Flying cockroaches. Well, not so much flying... More like shooting off in random directions before violently colliding with something. Seriously... It was like a war zone. They were all over the place, just flying around and running into ****. They were fairly large, too. Like, an inch and a half in length.
It is also important to note that the beating of their wings sounded like miniature machine guns firing, and they made a loud cracking noise whenever they hit a wall.
-
Did the crackling sound kinda like when you push some saliva around in your mouth....it just kinda makes you cringe the way it sounds? (Can't really think of a better way to describe the sound....)
-
Judging by how the noises stopped when you used what I could only think as flash photography (Cockroaches HATE light), I wouldn't be surprised if that was what had prompted them to escape from the box.
-
Cockroaches? That it? ...Try putting a saucepan, half filled with sulfur, onto a gas range, with all doors and cupboards and such open, and turn it off after a few minutes... You may want a gasmask though >_>
-
"Boring" isn't the word that springs to mind when I think of flying cockroaches.
"Pants-crappingly revolting and terrifying" maybe.
-
Roaches... my family used to have an infestation. It seems like they just left some day. Why, we have no clue.
-
Most butterflies are actually more dangerous than cockroaches, as many species have poison in their something-or-other.
However, cockroaches can crawl into your ear in your sleep and get stuck there, so.....

I was watching Urban Legends and there was one about earwigs oing into a guys brain through his ear, eating through his brain, and the man gets to the doctor only to find out the bug left 100's of eggs in his brain. Although it was quite false.

I'd only say that they were terrifying if they were giant.
[spoiler=Like, about this size (not a cockroach)]

[/spoiler]
Reminds me of the Locusts in Illinois, those things can make some weird noises at night.
-
... i hate locust... so noisy...
EDIT:As I submitted this, one made a noise outside. -.-" Oop, there it went again. gah...

Although it doesn't fly, this one would terrify me more.
[spoiler](http://www.gedcasserley.saddleworth.net/assets/images/Jess21.jpg)[/spoiler]
Or a solifugae.
Also, I don't think having cockroaches in your house is a good thing. Unless you love bugs. Which I doubt.
Better call an exterminator, I guess.
-
That is one big spider.

Hey I scacada, I hate those noisy buggers. They drive me insane making all those strange sounds high in the tree. Make a good treat for my chickens though.
-
A giant cicada? Too bad they don't get that big around here. They are cool.
-
You got scared by dinner? Aww... man. I was hoping for cool unnamed beasts.
-
Update.
It's back. Or at least, it's making noise again.
This time I know I'm not crazy, because my dog heard it and checked it out before I did. I had headphones in, and was watching the Mythbusters.
We haven't had the last of this yet.
-
o.O
Man this is becoming The Twilight Zone: Charas Edition.
Which in another context, would be ****ing awesome (from my understanding).
-
Maybe the cocroaches are just back in the box?
-
Hmm...maybe it's some kind of rodent and you just have bad luck...
-
Or maybe you've just gone insane with paranoia and are now just seeing and hearing things your afraid are there... Nutjob... (J/K)
-
Well, we're getting a slightly better understanding now. We opened up the box, and there was nothing. Again.
It would seem that the creature makes regular visits to the box, but doesn't stay. Perhaps it leaves when nobody is looking... But where to?
It almost makes me want to go all Monsterquest and plant a secret night vision camera outside the bathroom.
Coincidentally, my step mom was asked to film some lecture or something, and her job provided her with a small Sony video camera. It's sitting in a chair next to me, and if it's anything like other video cameras I've handled, it probably has a night vision mode.
Hmm... Naaah.
-
It's the devil, I just know it!
-
If I could, I would let you borrow my machete.
-
Film it, now. It's not your decision to make, just do it.
-
EXTREME BUMP
It was a rat. It's still on the large, too. My step mom said she thought she killed it, but it's still alive apparently.
-
Cool, catch it in a big pickle jar and name it Jim! I've caught mice before and kept them as pets for a while. XD
-
Do not do that! You will catch the black plague and die!
-
UL CATCH TEH BLIGHT!!1!
-
So, wait, rats AND giant cocroaches at the same time?
-
I'm glad I live in GOOD America.
-
Remember kids.
Don't eat rats. Rats eat dead and deceased thingies so they get diseases.
And the same with boars, they are larger versions of pigs. But it's like eating a huge porky rat. They also feast on the dead. Hunting them down for food or money won't do it as you have to send in samples to test them. If you get any of that inside you - dead meat and whoever eats you will get the same thing.
It's like the T-virus only from boars.
Remember that kids. Don't eat rats.
Or hamsters.
