A freaky thing

I just have to add this so I don't forget. On Sunday night we were both fast asleep in bed with the window slightly open, it was 1:30am and we were both woken up by a very very strange noise, I can only describe it as a noise of electricity, like a static type lightning noise, lots of crrtzz cthhzz zzzcckkk sounds. Imagine a science experiment where you've got those two metal poles and lightning flashes between them? Well it was like that only loud enough to wake us both up. There was also a smell of burning like bonfires in the air. I leant over and turned on my bedside lamp, at which point it immediately stopped. I have no idea at all what it was. We could vaguely hear the noise of some people across the road and Nick says he heard someone shout "come on!" so I'm wondering if we were having a trick played on us? There was also a faint light flashing outside our window. I mean WHAT the fuck????? We were too scared to go outside but we turned all the outside lights on and peeped through the blinds. Nothing. And the next morning, after a thorough examination inside and out the hose? Nothing. Fricking freaky as I said.
