On Wednesday night, Harlingen area father Bill Goodman kissed his 4 1/2 year old son, Bill Jr. goodnight but was left wondering if he was still awake over an hour after he tucked him into bed.
Goodman turned to his wife at one point while they watched the late local newscast and whispered that he thought he heard 'sharpening sounds' coming from down the hallway. The scraping persisted for the next twenty minutes, but Goodman resisted the urge to locate the source since he found himself too lazy to get out of bed to go check. Goodman eventually turned up the volume on the television to cover the noises.
