The Ghost in Maliana's Toilet

So, for quite a while (as long a while as 2 weeks can be) there I was terrified of the ghost in Maliana's Toilet, of course I mean the english (or was it Australian) one.

So every time I'd go into the kitchen for whatever task I had planned to accomplish (examples, dishes, dinner, food, etc) after a few moments of being in the kitchen I'd start to hear a noise coming from the bathroom, it sounded like tapping, or possible hammering.

Once I was doing the dishes and I started to hear this noise. Since there is construction going on on the house across the street I thought it was just them hammering stuff, as people do when building a house, but just to make sure I turned off the water and listened; I could only hear the music playing in the other room. so I start to clean again a little wonderment going on, and then i hear the noise again, "taptaptaptap taptaptaptap taptaptap". I am starting to get a little spooked, but I still think its construction, so I turn off the water and listen again, this time I notice that there is no construction noise going on at all, so I go look out the window to see that there are no people out there. I go back to cleaning the dishes a little bothered now since I dont know what this noise is and its annoying. In my head I start making up stories and imaginings of ghosties coming to get me, and making the tapping noise so I will investigate and then they will get me. Obviously after a while I start to hear the noise again. This time I listen intently to try and figure out where the noise is coming from and I discover it is the bathroom. being Aussie, I turn the water off and go to the bathroom to hear the noise better, when I get there I hear nothing. I quickly get back to the dishes and try to finish faster.

When Maliana got home I told her my fearful tale of fear of the bathroom. When I first got here she had told me the bathroom was creepy, but I disagreed and thought it was awesome possum, now i agreed.

so days go by and I am terrified of the ghostie in the toilet, BUT! just a few moments ago I realised what the tapping was HAHAHAHAH

the tapping was the water pipes. whenever the hot water is running(maybe cold too) the pipes make a tapping noise in the bathroom, so every time I turned the water off to investigate the noise would go away hahahahhah so funny, I was scared of the room because I didnt know what the tapping was, and it was just creaky sumarbústaður house hahaha good times in the Iceland
