Ed Note: It is impossible for our tiny staff to respond to every email, but if a person writes back indicating that a previous email was unanswered, we will attempt to provide a response. In this particular situation, when a new email was sent two weeks later, there were no images, so rather than to sort through hundreds of emails, we responded accordingly, and then we received additional written information, but no photos. Now our curiosity was truly piqued, so we tracked down the original letter which contained the images on this posting.

I haven’t heard anything from you,did you get my e-mail?
There are no photos attached.
I sent three but its hard to them they look like coffee grinds they are ale=ways in the same to places in the house. they accumulate on a white wooden box that covers our water heater, the other is on a glass and wood coffee table. My boyfriend and i will clean theses ares and in a day or two the tiny brown specs will come back. they are smaller then coffee grinds. I video monitored it one night and nothing happened for two days i stopped and they appeared again. I soaked wood over water heater with a very strong bug killer and in a day they cam back. There are no holes in the ceiling so its not dropping, it not falling from ceiling fan because it would be spread out more. We are losing our minds because we don’t know what it is so we don’t get rid of it. the house was built in the 1940′s we do see termite fras brown or black on the wood floors here and there. Could something be picking up the fras and dropping it in the same two places. I sold pest control in the 90′s so I know a little about it. But this is mind boggling , we joke and say a ghost is doing it,lol but we are really getting upset with it. the economy does not allow me to hire someone right now. I just heard my company is going to lay people off, so i have to watch every dime. Please if you could just tell me what to do or a website that could help me i would so appreciate it. Thank you for the time in reading this short novel.

We are losing our minds over this and so is all our friends. we have a wooden box covering a short hot water heater. On the top we wake up to find tiny brown spots in the same circle we look up no holes in the ceiling we inspect box no holes we clean it off and it always comes back. And get this on our glass coffee table in one corner always the same. So I said I know i will put down glue sticky traps and you won’t beleive this but brown dots smaller then coffee grinds on the glue traps an no sign of whats putting them there. Please help us we rent here and we are finally happy where we live but this is so annoying. we live in st.augustine ,fl

Dear jersigypci,
We can see from the time stamp of February 1, 2006 that this unimaginably disturbing phenomenon has been plaguing you for more than four years and we cannot fathom how you have managed to endure it, but tragedies are all relative. We cannot identify anything in your photographs and we are unable to provide you with any explanation for this horrific occurrence. We would recommend professional help or perhaps just rent Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining and be thankful that your situation isn’t worse. We actually can suggest one additional alternative that may provide closure. Since we are posting your emails along with all of your photos, which we were able to locate, our readership may be able to help solve your mystery before your minds are totally lost. Gentle Readers, please post a comment if you have any suggestions.
