a few weeks back, in our basement, it smelt really funny/bad like something but I couldn't put my finger on it.

I thought it was the cat had crapped down there because he did a few times when we first moved in. or maybe peeing or something. it didn't smell like rotting flesh at all. just odd smelling and kinda stale like.

well, this morning I go down to get some clean socks from the laundry area and there were over 100 BIG BLACK FLYS on the window. like lots and lots of them. I opened window and tried to shoe fly em out the best I could but there was too many and they didn't really leave.

so now I'm thinking something must have died down there. maybe the cat brought something in and lost it (stupid cat never kills what he catches, but brings em in the house and lets em go) and it died somewhere?

I hope blood doesn't start coming out of my sink.....

You should sit in front of the TV with just static on the screen and wait for your wife to get home... that should really freak her out...

We get lots of black flies in our house, but never in a huge mass like you described... I think they started coming in from the crawlspace and now they're just showing up dead on the floor...

And when she asks you what you're doing, turn your head slowly, stare at her for a few seconds, then turn back and continue watching the static.

WOW! This thread is haunted. The first time I clicked on it, I got booted off my internet connection. Spooky.

Sounds like a simple case of cluster flies to me....

If the flies were born in carrion or manure it would explain the smell...

I don't think I have any manure around my house.....

Haha, I guess not... forgot we were talking about the city... maybe they were born in a dead animal near your house or something though... either way, it's pretty gross...

 

[pnj]

I'm thinking a dead animal IN my house.

we have a cat door in the basement and anything could have walked in and died. It has to be something small though, large animals smell REALLY bad when they've been dead for awhile.

Small price to pay for the look on her face

Remind me to never stay at your house. It's creepy.
