Back in the mid - 70's when I was 13, I was at home babysitting my 11 yearold brother while my parents had a night out on the town. We moved into our house about 4 weeks before this occurence. The house was about 20 years old. My brother and I sat in a room against an outside wall, we were board so we decided to make up rhythms and beats by playing it out on the wall, so I went first. I hammered out a beat against the wall, but to my surprise, the same beat was returned immediately after, and my brother hadn't even touched the wall. We looked at eachother, shocked. I tried again, with a different knocking pattern, and the exact same pattern was repeated. I even had my brother scoot far away from the wall just to make sure he didn't have anything to do with the strange knocking. Even as he sat in the middle of the room, my pattern was repeated. My brother was too scared to even try, and after that night it never happened again. To this day I don't know how it happened, especially since our ENTIRE HOUSE WAS MADE OF BRICKS.
