I once had a similar type of experience. The school next door broke ground for expansion one summer, and one rainy night I went into my bathroom (the light was off) and I heard a PING PING PING sound. I was sure that there was a leaky roof from the storm and it sounded like the dripping was coming from the vicinity of my wastebasket. So I reached into the basket to see if it was wet and felt something very much alive, very warm, and very furry. I screamed so loudly, I woke up the entire household, and made my husband run out of the house in his PJs to empty the garbage pronto. I really wanted him to do away with the mouse, but he let it go. (yes, it came back in the next day, but I put out poison by that time and never saw it more than once after it came back).
