Quite often, residents of multi-storey buildings are faced with sounds that come from the ceiling. Many people complain that they are tired of neighbors moving furniture at night or just making noise, but, as a rule, a check shows that the neighbors above have nothing to do with it. In addition, sounds are heard sometimes and in those moments when either no one lives upstairs, or are absent at the given time. This unusual phenomenon is sometimes given surprising and most incredible explanations.
A rather surprising story on this topic was told by Valery Grigoryan, a leading researcher at the research institute, candidate of technical sciences, a researcher of anomalous phenomena.
It all started from the moment Valery Grigoryan's family moved to a new apartment. Literally every evening at exactly a certain time upstairs, from the neighbors upstairs, there was a creak, as if a chair was being pulled back … At first, this somehow did not surprise anyone, and why actually be surprised if there are jokes about sound insulation in panel houses. But the attitude to this issue changed when, having talked with a neighbor, whose apartment was located on the same site as the one where the “chair” was moving, the Grigorians learned strange information - it turns out that no one has lived there for a long time - the owners of the apartment left … But the most surprising - the neighbor also heard "something" - like the jingle of keys in an absolutely empty room!
Valery Grigoryan was interested in this unique phenomenon, and he decided to research and understand everything. In his laboratory, a technical device "AIU" was developed and assembled, a device that captured signals reproduced in the ultrasonic range. There was no way to get into an empty apartment. V. Grigoryan examined his own apartment and the living space of a neighbor, the one who complained about the appearance of incomprehensible sounds. At the moments when there was a "creak of a chair" and "jingle of keys", the device persistently emitted a triple signal. No electromagnetic impulses, as well as visual phenomena were observed during this. In a neighboring apartment, the signal sounded first in the mezzanine, after a while it moved to the oven and eventually disappeared.
And yet - during the official change of time to summer or winter, mysterious sounds were heard strictly at the appointed time according to the "old" countdown. It is unlikely that this was someone's hoax. But V. Grigoryan could not give an explanation for this phenomenon. To our great regret, the other neighbors did not allow them to examine their apartments.
The most interesting real stories about sounds coming from the ceiling appeared on one of the forums on the Internet. People from different cities talked about their own observations of mysterious sounds, as if iron balls were rolling on the floor there.
Here are some of the more interesting stories:
Promotional video:
“I moved into a 16-storey new building in 1979. Since that time, with rare interruptions, someone has been hammering and drilling. Once all the residents of the entrance went to look. But it turned out that the apartment above was empty."
“There is one question that has been worrying for a long time. In multi-storey panel houses, a strange sound is often heard from the ceiling. It is from the apartment located on top. It’s like someone is rolling an iron ball on the floor. I cannot call this strange sound any other way."
“The same thing, but in a brick house“stalinka”. In addition to the iron balls, there is also a creak of some kind, as if iron tubes slide along the surface of the floor. She used to live in an ordinary brick five-story building. I heard a knock from above. And personally, my grandmothers-neighbors rose to me from below and swore: "Why are you rolling iron balls on the floor here!" They even called the police."
“My friends were once complained by neighbors that they wash glass balls in a basin at night. It got to the point that even the district police officer was summoned."
“My balls are rolling and they have been drilling something for the past fourteen years - every day, exactly as long as I live in an apartment.”
“It was like that in our hostel. We said, "The bottles are rolling." We checked the neighbors. They denied and complained about their upper neighbors on the same occasion … One of the most insoluble mysteries of the Universe, in my opinion."
“You may not believe - I do not live in Russia. But on the fourth floor of a six-story building I have balls rolling too!"
“About twenty years ago I worked in the post office of one editorial office. Quite often a woman in her old age wrote to us and complained that the neighbors on top were tortured - every evening they roll metal balls on the floor of their apartment. The employees and I laughed and made a special note on the envelope for insane, and all her letters were sent to the archive. It was necessary to put this strange granny's letters into work! That would be a sensation!"
The mystically minded participants in the forum discussion offer three options as an explanation:
The first one is the tricks of brownies or reels. In a word, a poltergeist, the secret of which even quite serious and traditional scientists cannot learn until now. And all sounds are the first, one might say, a mild form of poltergeist.
The second option is psychotropic weapons. It is indicated that some malicious testers of such weapons are directing its radiation to homes. At the same time, there are no sounds. They appear in the irradiated brain, in other words, they appear.
The third option is otherworldly or parallel worlds, and invisible borders run along the ceilings and walls. And in those worlds, not only metal balls, but also a lot of other ringing rubbish can be found.
