A bump in the night

Awoke at 5am last night to a loud bang with breaking glass on the finish.

Eric leapt up and crept around but we couldn't figure out what might have caused the unsettling noise which had sounded like it was coming from inside the bedroom.

What could it have been? Leading theories include (but are not limited to):

• Metal folding chair getting blown over on the roof just above our heads (ruled out)
• Top shelf closet item transforming into bottom of closet item, with breakage (ruled out)
• Hallway window getting blown in (ruled out)
• Disoriented Santa Claus? Or maybe just a disoriented fat guy in a Santa Claus outfit? (ruled out)
• Spirit or specter (inconclusive)
• Shared dream (whaaa?)
• Malicious Sprinkler evolved to Malicious Smasher (unlikely...but possible)

Had to leave for work* this morning with this mystery yet unsolved. My money is on shared dream until some more likely prospect emerges.
