A community in Romania is on edge following an odd series of events involving what some believe to be a poltergeist that is pelting a home with stones. The strangeness reportedly began earlier this month in the village of Sohatu when, at around midnight, a house begin being struck by stones thrown by an unseen force. The pelting continued well into the night and then occurred again during the same time frame for a whopping nine days straight.
The weirdness eventually caught the attention of a Romanian TV station, who visited the village in an attempt to get to the bottom of the bizarre mystery. According to a translation of the segment, one local resident lamented that "it throws stones all night long, it doesn’t leave us alone a little bit, not even half an hour" and that the unrelenting pelting has been keeping everyone in the neighborhood up all night. Attempts to have the police intervene in the matter have proven fruitless as the stone throwing apparently continued to occur even when officers were on the scene.
Although the witness indicated that he initially suspected that the cause of the commotion was a troublesome child in the community, his opinion has since changed because of how long the stone throwing has gone on as well as the fact that it also happened when the police were present and they could not catch the culprit. Therefore, he has reluctantly concluded that some kind of supernatural force is behind the events. However, a continent of people in the village, including the mayor, argue that it has to be a person pelting the home with stones because, in their minds, poltergeists do not exist.
At this point, the annoyed residents appear to be less interested in what, exactly, is throwing the stones and more concerned with simply getting it to stop. To that end, they've even enlisted the help of a priest to come and bless the house in the hopes of eradicating whatever spirit may be behind the eerie incidents. For their sake, we hope that the proverbial 'divine intervention' is successful, since one can only imagine how maddening it must be to hear the constant sound of stones hitting against a house at all hours of the night.
