Default Noise from the attic.

Early this morning, about five, I was about half asleep and heard a bonking noise in the attic. Not a scuffling but as if a large box was picked up and moved and set down again...two or three times in succession.

Now I have some major hearing issues so to hear anything means the noise was significant. Sweetie was sleeping peacefully and I hated to wake him.

Than later, about 7:30, All three of us were awake and watching Television in the Master bedroom and the sound came again. Helene got up and stuck her head out the Lanai door looking for something and Henry turned down the TV. I said, "Was that Thunder?" He said "no". We all listened again.We heard it three more times. When I had heard it earlier I thought maybe one of the cats had been closed in the closet, it sounded like a loud rattling of the pocket door.

We mulled over what kind of creature in the attic could be making such a sound. Certainly not a bird or a conventional mouse.

Does anyone have any ideas?

(P.S. I don't believe in ghosts.)
