In Clintonville, mysterious things go boom in the night
By Meg Jones of the Journal Sentinel March 19, 2012
There's one thing everyone here agrees: It was really noisy.
Exactly what it sounded like is where Clintonville residents differ.
Jordan Pfeiler thought it sounded like fireworks exploding underwater.
Fay Mavis' 27-year-old grandson thought it sounded like a 90-ton wrecking ball slamming into something, while Mavis said it sounded like huge chunks of ice falling from her roof. But then she realized in this heat, ice chunks are long gone.
Marge Bickford thought somebody drove a car into the front of her home.
Beverly Demitriou thought a critter had sneaked into her basement and was causing bedlam.
City Administrator Lisa Kuss said it sounded like a jackhammer.
Cats and dogs didn't know exactly what it was, of course, but they howled and meowed anyway.
A series of loud bangs and booms woke up folks on the northeast side of this Waupaca County community shortly before 2 a.m. Monday and continued off and on until at least 8 p.m. The rattling, shaking, vibrations and noises induced people to pick up their phones and dial 911 as Clintonville's police dispatch center lighted up with more than 150 calls.
The source of the racket? No one knows.
