apartments.
Tina and Greg gasped and stared at the wall. “Is someone in your apartment Greg?” Tina asked.
He shook his head, leapt to his feet and sprinted out the door to his apartment. Tina followed him, a little surprised at how quickly such a big guy could move! Greg’s apartment was a small one bedroom with an open kitchen and living area similar to Tina’s apartment. He checked the bedroom, looked under the bed and then the bathroom.
“There is no one here,” he said confused. Tina was just about to say they should check with Anna when four loud knocks came through the wall from her apartment.
Greg’s mouth dropped open. Tina took a couple steps back.
“What was going on?” Tina yelled.
“I have no idea,” said Greg.
“Maybe we should talk to Anna and see if she has noticed anything,” suggested Tina.
“I’ll see if she’s home,” said Greg. He moved quickly toward the foyer stairs.
“I’m coming with you,” said Tina realizing she didn’t want to be alone and shadowed him up the stairs to Anna’s apartment. Both started knocking on Anna’s. Tina pulled her fist away from the door just as Anna opened it. Anna took a step and was obviously not excited by her visitors.
“Can I help you?” Anna said with a little bit of a growl in her voice.
Tina and Greg seized up. They stood mouths shut staring at Anna. Anna stood unmoved at the door and stared back. Tina finally broke the standoff by blurting out, “have you been moving your furniture around at night?”
“What? Really? With all the banging around you two have been doing down there you have the nerve to come up here with that?”
“That’s WHY we are here. Anna, please come downstairs. We have something to talk to you about,” said Tina.
“Why should I?” said Anna. “I don’t know you two and quite honestly I’m a little pissed!”
“Look Anna,” Tina began to explain, “we’ve all been hearing the same things but none of us are the ones doing it.”
“What ARE you talking about?” Anna pushed her wire rim glasses back, crossed her arms and took a stern stance with Tina and Greg. Anna’s petite stature seemed bigger in the doorway some how. Tina took a step back and tried to avoid the glare Anna was sending her.
“Either come down to my apartment or let us in so we can talk to you!” Tina felt her chest begin to tighten as her anxiety grew. It was clear to her that neither Anna nor Greg had been creating the noise she had been hearing.
Anna took another look at Greg, who was still silent, but obviously shook up about something. His eyes were darting back and forth wildly. “All right, come in. Greg, are you ok?” Anna said letting her guard down a little.
Greg rubbed the side of his face as if he’d just been smacked.
“To be honest, I’m completely freaked out.”
Tina and Greg followed Anna into her apartment. It was almost twice the size of Greg and Tina’s apartments. She had a fireplace in her living area and the light streamed in the windows that wrapped completely around living area. The ceilings were high with an ornate header that went around the room. It was definitely the nicest of the three apartments. Putting her envy aside, Tina sat down on the edge of the couch while Greg went to the window and stared out over the back yard.
“Anna,” Tina started again, “we are all hearing the same thing but none of us are making the noises! Greg was just in my apartment asking me the same thing when we heard three knocks on the wall coming from his apartment. No one is there. While we were in his apartment checking to see what it was, three knocks came through the wall from my apartment! Anna, no one was there, so now we are here.”
“So, what? Are you implying that we have a ghost?” Anna said incredulously.
“Basically, yes,” said Tina.
Greg piped up from the window, “This is crazy!”
“Well, as crazy as
