    A MYSTERY

           LAKEWOOD,  N.J.,  Sept.  2  –  There have been strange happenings in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Alan Davis. A mysterious scratching, banging and bumping in the walls of their  home  has  become  so  strong  it  has knocked down pictures and lamps.

           Investigators have torn the walls apart but have been unable to find the course of the sounds. They are also trying to find out if troublemakers have been at work.

           We first heard the sounds six weeks ago, said Mrs. Davis. For the next two weeks, the sounds happened regularly – every evening from 9:30 to 11:00.

           Little patches, said, began to appear on the living room and bedroom walls. Then the sounds changed and became irregular. Now, she said, the  noises  start  at  8  A.M.  and continue on and off till midnight.
