to think our neighbour is spying on me through a wall?

[gnocci]

We live in a semi but a semi that backs onto another house, so our entire back wall is another house's entire back wall IYSWIM. So upstairs we share a wall on our bedroom, the landing and our bathroom.

The only noise I ever hear from their house is that noise of a pull switch light cord. And the only time I ever hear it is just after I go to the bathroom at night before I go to bed. Whatever the time. I never hear it before or after. Without fail it is just after I leave the bathroom. I go to bed at very random times (DH works away...). it could be 8pm, it could be 1am. Whatever time it is, I always hear that cord go within 20 seconds of me leaving the bathroom...

Uuummmmmm AIBU to think I might be being spied on..??!!! How do I find out for sure?!!

I thought of the dead fan too.

Be careful in the loft OP - it may not be boarded out!

I wouldn't go up there actually.

OMG! I'm SOOO glad that my parents live in the house next door!

Dead fan sounds dodgy! Like some expired groupie might be in the attic...spookily turning a switch on and off!

fluffy why not? Isn''t it better to know these things in daylight rather than being powerless and ignorant in the night?

sounds like a plan. good luck!

'Cos it's not going to be very light up there Spoken.

I'd want to have someone with me anyway ...

And a seriously good torch ...

Oh I couldn't rest! I'd be up there with a hammer, dds Dora the Explorer torch and a scary expression on my face.

Flipping hell....wouldn't you see a hole somewhere in the wall if they were spying? This is so creepy.

Stick chewing gum up the hole. They may be IN the attic just waiting for you to visit the loo....

You really DO need to check out the loft. Get a friend to go with you.

and make sure you come back and tell us.
If you suddenly stop posting we are all going to be shit scared

But dont read Mo Hayder before you go up in the loft. Especially not if the loft was not separated along with the rest. For all you know, your landlord lives on the other side.....

I have had this happen to me. It was my step-father though in the same house.

Trust your instincts. It does sound far fetched but......it happens so do some investigating.

Good luck tonight and I hope it is all just coincidence.

DH will have to check loft as I am 7m preg and not climbing up there into the unknown!!!! He is back tomorrow night.

Fair enough.

OMG Youcan your step-father ????

Oh jeepers Gnocci! Make sure you don't dwell... know thats hard. Have you heard it today?

My theory...
The noise you hear is the float valve in the loft water tank cutting off after refilling the toilet cistern. You only hear it at night because in the day there is more general noise and other appliances using water.

Not sure if this has been suggested but could it be your pull cord "resetting" itself IYSWIM? Ours is quite stiff so you pull it, hear the click, then as you walk away it clicks again.

Please do make sure you report back, desperate to know

When you turn your bathroom light on, it turns a light on in their house.

The sound is them pulling the cord to turn it off?

There's a similiar conversation somewhere.

'Our bathroom light keeps randomly turning itself on, it's dead spooky'

Come on OP... get ready for bed now and report back

Anyone out there?
You ok OP?

She has been sucked through the hole...
