Is There Something in the Chimney?

"There was certainly something infesting our chimney," she says. "I went to the garage for some rat traps, placed and bated a few inside the grate" She blocked off the opening with tarp and storage containers that would be far too heavy for Maddie to move. When I flashed my light upwards, there were no eyes,. What I did see were scratches all over the brick, deep pits and something fibrous, hair or feathers or both.
