... or at least that's the only explanation I can come up with. Consider this:
The house next door is identical to mine in layout. It has been used as a rental property for 10 years, and had been vacant about 4 months. It usually gets rented for a year at a time to various residents doing stints at the big local medical center.
The house next door is a rental, and had been unoccupied for 5 months. By the way our houses are identical in layout.
About 4 weeks ago I noticed a car in the driveway each evening, and evidence of a small light on in the master bedroom. No truck full of furniture, nothing on the back porch, no other lights ever on. No evidence of a permanent resident. It looked more like someone using the house over the summer, perhaps with just a cot or sleeping bag. I'm thinking perhaps the med center has someone on temporary assignment or something.
So, I never see this person. I don't happen to be around when they are pulling into or out of the driveway, they are never out in the yard, etc. So I haven't met them - don't even know if it's a man or woman.
But here is the weirdness - like much of the country, we have been having a streak of scorchingly hot weather. Days and days of temps in the 90's and overnight lows barely to 70F. We finally got a break last night. It has been so miserable that Monday night, with all my windows open, and 4 fans running, I only got the temp down to 80F in the house overnight. During all of this, my neighbor has *never* had a single window open - not even a crack. The house does not have central AC, and there are no ACs in any windows, nor even fans. If my house was 80 degrees the other night, theirs had to be near or above 90F. Given the heat, I just can't see how whoever is in that house is even *alive* (I know they must be because the car is gone every morning).
So I've concluded he/she must be undead, and therefore has no body heat.

Buffy rarely shows up in my neighborhood - this is rural New England, not pretty-trendy-sunny California.
Even if you were used to hot climates, you'd still open the damn window if it was a sauna in the house, right?

Originally posted by Great Big SteesNope - their house is just like mine - with a full-but-unfinished basement. Like mine it has several basement windows. The end one faces my house, and is obvious when any basement lights get left on (I would notice because I can see this window when sitting in my hot tub at midnight).
Basement?
I'm still thinking undead ...
