Residents are puzzled at a phenomenon that’s shaking homes in Canton.
Fatimah Jafri says it’s been happening for roughly half a year.
“When it starts, the water actually shakes in the bottles,” said Jafri, who described for channel 7 a high pitched hum that accompanies the shaking. “There’s that much vibration in the house. The pictures on the walls will vibrate and you can hear them slap up against the walls. It puts pressure on your ears kind of like you’re on an airplane..”
People in the area of Lotz and Palmer say that the rattling varies in intensity and duration, but was at it’s highest point Monday night.
Canton Township’s Public Works Manager has been able to rule some things out.
Belair says he investigated and cleared the nearby Woodland Meadows landfill, inspected gas line maps , and the township contacted the U.S. Geological Survey, who verified no earthquake activity in the area.
