What is the most unusual thing that has woken you up ?

While staying in a friends house, my newly wed bride and I had to sleep in a single bed....I fell out of the bed, and woke up cuddling their dog....

Wow! Thats weird. Your house may be haunted. You may have to do some experiments. Try to look up the history of your house, like who lived there before you. Also try this, go to the room where there is most activity and pour flour, baby powder, etc all over the floor and go to sleep and wait until the next morning to see if there is any writing or anything. Also you can call TAPS which is a ghost hunter place, they have a show on the History Channel every Wednesday at 9:00/ 8:00 central. Try to call their number and they will do a full investigation at your house which will soon air on TV. I do not know their number maybe you can check on a website or something. Hope I helped!

Ooh poor little peacock, hope it's ok.

Living right on the edge of the east coast we hear all sorts of things from foghorns in the distance through to various seabirds telling us it's time to get up.

I suppose the most disturbing sound is when the lifeboat siren goes off, it's quite deafening and thankfully in the sixteen years we've been here it's only woken us up once.

We have an enclosed porch on the back of our house and our cat was jumping up on a table then down on a floor really hard so we could hear his feet. We couldn't understand what he was doing but he did it over and over again.

My husband got up to see what that cat was doing and saw our shed at the end of the yard was on fire. We have a stockade (wooden fence) along the side cause we used to have a built in pool there. So the fence was on fire and headed towards our house. If we wouldn't have got the fire stopped in time the fence would have eventually met where our house is and it would have burnt down.

Our cat's name is Batman because we got him when the first Batman movie came out and he was a beautiful black and white color. The black on his face was like a batman mask and he looked like he wore a black cape.

He was afraid of everything but that night he saved our lives. Then years later again he proved again to be my superhero.

One time my daughter stood by my side of the bed saying, "Mommy, there's a tree on our house". I had heard the storm but was surprised to look out the window and sure enough there it was. Another time I was woke up by a beeping that previously had been intermittent. I soon discovered it was the batteries in our upstairs smoke detector(big fireman ex didn't bother to keep own family safe), I had to beat it off the ceiling with a broom. I was furious about his disregard for us while out beating his chest in the community about safety. Grrrrrrr

I have sensor lights all around the house. I didn't know that a small animal could trigger them.

The first few times I was curious ( like who would be dumb enough to come anywhere near my house. I have a Pit bull and "other" protection.)

Now I remember to close the blackout shades in my bedroom and wear my eye mask to sleep.

My daughter volunteered to care for the science class's hamster one summer, she brought it home with the cage a couple weeks before school was out. The third night I woke up with it crawling up my leg, it had crawled under the covers and made it to the foot of the bed.

Two day ago I woke up to hearing a cicada buzzing back and forth, knew something had caught it outside. When I was watering my flowers I saw a cicada-killer wasp flying in an aggressive manner looking for more to catch.

I had bought land about 27 years ago that was well out in the woods. My nearest neighbor was 1/2 mile away and he had five horses. Early one morning we had a severe thunderstorm, boomers, lightening and high winds. I wasn't worried, I went right back to sleep. Our daughter was living with us and rose early in the morning to go to work. She woke me, shaking my arm and saying, daddy wake up. There are horses in the vegetable garden. I looked out the window and sure enough, there was my neighbors horses. The storm spooked them, they broke out of their corral, came through the woods and jumped my fence. They were retired show horses and could jump a four foot fence even at their age. I guess they came for breakfast, they ate all my cabbages and carrots. My neighbor wanted to pay for the damages but I told him to forget it, I had a good laugh out of it and a little story to tell for years to come whenever anyone brought up gardening.

The four years I spent as a firefighter in the Air Force I was awoken many times by a klaxon alarm, one for structural fire and two for crash emergency. You should try sliding down a fire pole at 3 in the morning sometime.

A few years ago, my hubby woke me up and said, 'What's that noise?' I couldn't hear a noise at all, so asked him what it sounded like. He couldn't believe I couldn't hear anything and said it was a high-pitched buzzing. Well, we got out of bed and went through the whole house and checked the fridge motor, the smoke alarms and they were all okay.

I still hadn't heard anything and he couldn't understand it. The next day he still heard the noise. He eventually went to our GP and that was when his tinnitus was diagnosed.

In the wee hours of the morning, long before daylight, my wife and I heard rustling in our bushes outside. Seemed all around the house, something was amiss, as though we were under attack - except that we were in rural West Virginia at the time. As soon as it stopped, we guessed it was a dog or something.

Later in the morning, we arose at the regular time for a weekend. Mosey'd downstairs and outside, only to find that our friends had wrapped our house, trees, and shrubs in toilet paper with huge signs and balloons to wish my wife a happy 40th birthday!!! Lordy, lordy, she was forty!.

That was 24 years ago..
