The Pony Gets Spooked: Part 4, The Knocking

Tuesday morning, The Pony came to the Mansion so he could ride to CasinoPalooza with us. While gathering up items to take out to A-Cad, he mentioned that he had no trouble getting up and getting ready on time. He heard a KNOCK somewhere in the vicinity of the living room of Pony House.
 
"How many times did it knock?"
 
"Just one."
 
"It was probably them squirrels running around on the roof."
 
"No, Dad. This was a knock."
 
"Or the wires blowing against the side of the house."
 
"No. I know the sound of that wire that hits the house outside my bedroom wall. This was on the inside. One knock. From the living room."
 
"On that wall where your TV is? Like where you heard the sound that you hear in the theater before a movie starts?"
 
"It wasn't exactly on the living room wall that I could tell. But it was somewhere in the house, on the other side of my bedroom wall."
 
Surely there's a logical explanation...

His friendly ghost is making sure he gets up in time. That's not a bad thing.

River,
Yes. We wouldn't have wanted to get a late start for CasinoPalooza!

Maybe you need to call ghostbusters!

Kathy,
Sometimes I think so! Genius and some students (along with a teacher sponsor) did an investigation in the middle school many years ago. Genius likes using gadgets to check for unexplained phenomena. He doesn't so much get the FEELS of entities lurking.
