    Sometimes I hear the people upstairs and then I think. “Wait. Hold on. I don’t live in an apartment complex anymore. Wtf is in the attic”.

    Flipping racoons.

        Before I moved here , this house sat empty for about a year.

        And the access to the attic is one of those ceiling ladders you have to pull down.

        I waited a few weeks after moving here before having a peak.

        I actually didn’t find any evidence of racoons but I do occasionally hear noises from there. And it’s weird, I’ve been here a year now but my first thought always is “must be upstairs neighbors”.

        I’ve lived in apartments most of my life.

        There is a window in the front of the house with these like vertical wooden shutter blinds. And then a metal screen. So it’s not a closed off window. It’s open all year.

        I think what I’m actually hearing is the wind blowing stuff around in the attic. Which is full of stuff.

        I’m not too concerned. It’s either wind or racoons or maybe a squirrel.
