How would you react to hearing strange noises in your house at night? - VGF

InvincibleLuigi · 10-17-2004, 08:00 PM

If you were alone in your house, would you investigate? What exactly do you think you'd do? Do you ever spend time at night alone?

Alucard · 10-17-2004, 08:08 PM

I would make sure that there is no one else in the house, then continue with what I was doing...

Dark Magus · 10-17-2004, 08:13 PM

Check to make sure the alarm is set.

**L007 is Undecided** · 10-17-2004, 08:43 PM

Check the traps.

Beam Yosho the Drunkard · 10-17-2004, 09:00 PM

Grab the kinife/dagger I have next to my bed. (I'm that paranoid) and slowly check the house. I keep the seath on the dagger on it, though, just in case.

ZIPPYDIPPY19 · 10-17-2004, 09:07 PM

I'd just go check it out. If any stranger actually got past every one of our dogs without getting mauled, then all I could do is congratulate them. But if its some creepy sound (i.e. moaning, chains, etc.) I take a staff or baseball bat.

***CaptHayfever*** · 10-17-2004, 09:36 PM

1) Silently panic
2) Grab nearest blunt instrument
3) Remain perfectly still & listen until certain that the sound was unimportant.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Kil'jaeden · 10-17-2004, 11:03 PM

Get a knife from my dresser a few feet from my bed and wooden club from under my bed.

Curly Brace · 10-17-2004, 11:15 PM

I have a dog who howls if somebody at our door. I would run after them with my pocket knife or my paintball gun/gun under my parent's bed.

Fredfan · 10-17-2004, 11:23 PM

I hear it all the time, and it's usually just the house settling. Even so, sometimes I get creeped out and look around the house for suspicious things. Don't know what I'd do if I actually found something, though.

Sim Kid · 10-17-2004, 11:58 PM

1) Reach for the nearest blunt object or weapon. If I'm in the Basement, then it's either the old Wiffle-bat or a large Toy-Gun. (It may shoot Foam Rockets, but it has another use!

) If i'm on the first floor, then it's either a baseball bat, my tennis racket, A flashlight (You'd be surprised at how much damage it can do), or anything else. If i'm on the 2nd floor, then it's either my Bo Staff, my Bullwhip, or the flashlight I keep in my room. And if I do confront a burglar and the weapon's knocked from my hand-I know Karate and I'm an Advanced rank. (That's why no one picks a fight with me at school...That and I'm over 6 feet tall)
2) Listen for any more.
3) Investigate. Don't fire until you're sure it's an unimportant noise.

And if something goes "bump" in the night, I just "bump" back.

Bowser314 · 10-18-2004, 02:39 AM

Kill everything until I am done hearing noises.

Parrakarry · 10-18-2004, 05:47 AM

I generally freeze and listen, stopping all noise. If I still hear sounds, I'll usually just go investigate. Now if I see motion or something, then I grab a projectile weapon and a melee weapon -- such as a root beer bottle and a butcher knife. Throw the bottle and rush with the knife. Although I probably wouldn't kill whoever it is right away... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

The Doctor · 10-18-2004, 05:56 AM

Grab one of the three swords under my bed.

Sir Delicious Rightfoot · 10-18-2004, 03:31 PM

If I'm in my bedroom:
Grab my bat (I don't play baseball I just have it at my bedside for reasons like this) and get the dog.
Then put on an all black outfit, and have the lights shut off, then go looking.
If I am otherwards, I find the closest most-damaging, least-lethal weapon within 10 seconds, though I'm good with my hands if something like that happens.

1) Run around in circles screaming.
2) Get done screaming, grab a heavy object in my room I have a trash can and a closet full of stuff)
3) Run down the stairs screaming and start swinging the object wildly.

***Heroine of the Dragon*** · 10-19-2004, 05:56 PM

Depends on the "strange noise". Usually go investigate it, then scold whichever cat got into mischief!

If it were something different, probably grab the screwdriver and go check it out very carefully...

Gumby, dammit · 10-19-2004, 06:34 PM

1) Check the ceiling. Yes,I've been watching too many horror movies where the killer is hiding on the ceiling with some hair or a rope to hang someone.
2) Grab the steel pipe I keep next to my bed.
3) Stand at my door,with the pipe poised to hit whoever comes in.
4) I walk over to my bed,hide under the covers,and TRY to go back to sleep.
