Unexplainable thumping?

Okay so, I was in my room doing some creative writing when my little sister knocks on my door and asks if I’d stop “making those thumping sounds”
I wasn’t doing anything but writing on my phone. I told her this and she became scared and then said “I’m really scared because in my room there’s a lot of thumping and things sound like they’re getting knocked over.”
So I said she could sleep in my room. But as I go to get the sheet from the linen closet, I hear a loud thump behind me. Kind of like when your knuckles accidentally smack against the wall. I asked if she did that and she said “No!” and became frightened once more.

We’re both in my room, she’s asleep now, and as i’m writing this I’m occasionally hearing thumping coming from her room. I’d like to know, whats a good explanation to the sounds that are not paranormal.

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    So this is your creative writing project?

    I give it a C, since you were reasonably grammatical, capitalised the right words, and used punctuation reasonably well. (Although there is a rule that you should use a comma before a direct quote.)

    The creative aspect was weak, clichéd, and there was no resoltion.

    Creative writing on a phone must be a real pain. Don't you have a proper computer and real word processor?

      If we're marking this relatively then I would give OP at least a B. The story was coherent and didn't involve incest or peeing in someone's mouth.

        It was probably incestuous squirrels engaging water-sports inside the walls.

    • No, I was writing for wattpad when this was happening. I usually write on my notes app first then post on wattpad, I can give you a link to the story if you’d like.

      But my mom thinks that It was squirrels. I still don’t know what to think, the noises stopped at around 12:05 or something. Maybe it was the A/C?

    I have a few Suggestions: Maybe she's paranoid thinking that she's hearing thumping sounds and making you think there is, or It's a ghost, demon, animal, or maybe it's again paranoia.

    Probably a wild animal.
