My house now, there are no trees anywhere close to the house, and the walking sounds did not sound anything similar to my old house, so who knows? Im not saying they are one thing, or paranormal, I have no idea what they are.
A raccoon can climb up the side of your house if he wants to. They're very good climbers. That said, I've never had one on my roof that I know of, but I've seen them in my yard.

I've had squirrels in my attic before (which can be dangerous --- they chew wiring), and it could also be mice running around.

A lot of people have "unexplained" events happen to them. And as with all of the people that tell their weird stories, they will be met with adverse reactions by their listeners/readers.

Because until the person listening to or reading these stories has a unexplainable event happen to them they will not, nor should they be expected to believe, anyone's unbelievable story. Because these unexplainable events that people experience, defy all known logic and common sense.

Check all your drawers you or the spirit might have moved it there. It has to be somewhere. A material thing can't vanish. Are you hearing anything like foot steps?

Get a recorder app on your phone turn it on and ask some questions. You might hear some answers on there.
Finper, I respectfully have to disagree with your comment, "material things can't disappear".
I had a cassette tape in my safe, and living alone, no one had access to it.
It was one on many tapes I collect of my sessions in evp.
That one tape, I let other people listen to, and that is the only one that was missing.
In a later evp session with my deceased partner, he explained that he was the one that removed it from the safe, and destroyed it.
I need not go into the details of why he removed it, but it was he that removed it.

Bob.

Bob,

The vast majority of people that loose items simply misplace that item. I have two prybars that I know I misplaced. I simply cannot blame some spirt or ghost for their disappearance. I am sure that the prybars will appear one day; right where I forgot I left them.

I know that you are positive that you did not misplace your tape. I have been positive I did not misplace some items also; but then I found them where I placed them. Would you ever correct yourself if you found out that your 'lost to a lost partner' was wrong? We are all humans and we all make mistakes.

That event happened many years ago, and the tape never surfaced.
The safe was in the same room that I did my taping, and when a session was over, the tapes always went back into the safe.
I have experience things appearing, and disappearing over the years, and all can be traced to spirit behavior.


Bob.

If they could be traced you would be on the news!

I have looked thoroughly through our safety deposit box for items we thought we placed in there; we didn't. We put them in a file or some other 'safe' place and thought they we in safety deposit box. Our minds can fool us sometimes because we imagined that we placed the items where we thought they should go; not where they actually went.

In general; humans do not like to accept blame; it is almost like we are afraid to acknowledge we are human. It is very easy to picture placing something where it should go and then forget that we never properly put it away. I hope you find your tape!

After 22 years, I rather doubt it.

Ive been using an old cell phone as alarm clock now, and I do not leave it on the nightstand beside by bed, I put it right beside by pillow! I dont want to risk waking up to find this one gone too, especially on a day where I needed to be somewhere at a certain time!


Its funny, I now have these special routines before I go to bed, I make sure my bedroom door is locked and closed, I also put a laundry basket with weights in front of the door (to prevent it from opening like it did awhile back), and now keeping the cell phone beside my pillow, Im also still sleeping with a light on in the room!


A friend of mine suggested I buy a big dry erase board and hang it on the wall, write out a question about the missing clock or the opening door, its a stretch to think I would get a reply, but who knows, anything is possible I guess!


Im not sure 'spirits' would be willing to communicate in this way or not though.

If it is indeed spirits causing the things you mention, all that you have mentioned in this post won't do anything to stop a spirit .
Spirits are not hindered by solid matter.
They can penetrate it just by their thought, so a closed door would pose absolutely no problem.
Same applies to the cell phone under your pillow.
Thought could remove that , without you even knowing it.

As for the erase board with the writing, that could possibly work, but knowing what I know about spirits, the spoken word is much more effective.

Bob.

Personally if I was sure it was neither me nor critters nor legit visitors, I'd be trying a lot more urgently to rule out the possibility of a living trespasser.
