The Night of Small Noises

There have been a few strange noises/occurrences in a row tonight, so I thought I would list them out. They are all subtle, but their stacked nature is definitely odd.

First, the dripping in my kitchen, which has happened for some time, here and there, but I have never been able to find the source, was happening a lot. When I finally realized this, after several bursts of dripping, and then it happened again, I went into the kitchen to look/listen. It did not happen a single time after I got in there, nor has it happened since.

I think I remember some unusual noise after that last one and before this next one, but I can't recall the details of it precisely now.

Then I heard a distinctive *shink* *clickclick* right as I laid back down on the couch and I was like "What the heck!?" So I got up, turned on the light, and found the fluorescent lights that I have been meaning to take out for weeks now, and that I've had propped up against my wall without issue all that time, had inexplicably fallen. One got caught on my doorframe though, and the other got caught on a light switch, so neither could fall fully to the ground. 

I took those out to the trash, and when I returned I heard a strange animal noise coming from beneath the stairs outside. It sounded most closely like a sound effect from Jurassic Park but tiny, like a tiny raptor or spitter. I grew curious though, and examined the location, to see if it might have been a lizard (then realizing that would be nonsense), or possibly a frog. I couldn't find any aminals though, so I went back inside.

After a bit inside, still laying on the couch in the dark, I heard some kind of distinctive crinkle or something from on the ground between my TV stand and TV. I turned on the flashlight on my phone and again there was nothing there, not even an object that could have reasonably made that noise.

While each of these are small occurrences on their own, they still have no discernable source, and I never hear stuff like this in/around my apartment. Science does not disregard a result because it is tiny and, as a logical individual, neither shall I. It feels like reality is cracking, with tiny pops for the time being, around me
