A few days ago I was talking with a friend on the phone. I was sitting on the couch with one cat near me and just to my left there is a table with a few things on it such as a picture in a glass frame, a couple of candles (one is in a glass container), a bowl, etc. It was about 6:30 in the evening and all of a sudden this big CRASH sounded next to me in the area where the table sits. My friend on the phone reacts, saying "what was that?". I got up to look thinking the other cat may have jumped on the table knocking everything off, making the crash sound. Nothing out of place at all. The cat that was on the couch with me was startled and also looking around, the other cat (who is very sensitive to noise), hid under the bed and didn't come out for at least an hour. I looked everywhere, even outside the front door because I have windchimes hanging there and thought they might have fallen. Nothing. And, there is no attic in this part of the house. How do you explain this an unexplained sound? This happened once before a few years ago in this same room. DH was with me and also heard it that time. This time the friend heard it over the phone, (it was that loud), so it is just not me and an over-active imagination! Would be interested to hear your point of view and if anything like this has happened to you before. By the way, my friend on the phone said it sounded to her like glass falling and breaking. Sorry for the spelling error in the heading, but can't fix it in editing.
