Is there wallpaper under the paint?

The covertly installed surveillance equipment weighs a lot.

Have you ever asked that person why are they waving a cell phone around outside your house?


No, but I told a man to quit aiming his cell phone at me (I was working on my rose bushes). I was polite but I'm not going to put up with that in front of my house. There is no need for that ZERO.

You and the poster here who says he has daily sword fights with spirits in another realm need to get together and bang it out. I am sure that would be a healthy relationship.


Still not sure how you have been allowed to keep this troll account this long. Has to be an admin alter?

How was he pointing it at you? Like a gun or was he taking your picture?

Every day, someone walks by my house with a cell phone, waving it around. There is NO legitimate reason for that. Zero.


I put my trash can in my recycling bin out a couple hours early today. But there was a reason, cuz it was convenient to do it then.

If it is around 48” high from the floor, it’s definitely a listening device. That’s where they always put them.

No. The wall is painted, then there is molding, then the top is wallpaper and the wallpaper is where the problem is (and it is definitely not a problem with the wallpaper as I thought at first)

It is not picture taking when they do it. They aim it at me or they hold it out in front of them. I come around people and BAM they get on their cell phones. I drive by them and BAM they get on their cell phones. This really needs to stop. And don't say it is coincidence as I know what I see every f'in day.

OP, you definitely need to see a therapist.

2ndly, you don't need a contractor you need a sheetrock guy. Its a one person job. A carpenter will do it too but they are usually more money.

This is likely your issue, its where 2 sheets of sheetrock meet. The sheetrock has just settled poorly over time or you are just now noticing it. Your issue is likely the seem where two sheets meet. This is what it looks like without paint or anything just bare.

It is possible and maybe it is wallpaper over wallpaper. But, I really think it is something shifty.

And this is underneath wallpaper? Sounds more like a butt joint that wasn't smoothed out very well or got an air bubble in it more than something actually pushing from inside the wall. FYI-butt joints are going to be 4' long

I see your point but there is no way I would have missed it. Plus, I didn't find any other similar stuff when I checked the other walls in the house.

Do you take out your cell phone and point it back at them?

Thats one way to deflect the invisible rays they are using to track your thoughts and movements.

I just measured it and it is hard to tell where it starts and ends but it is about four feet. So, what exactly is a butt joint?
