Medford man refuses to knuckle under to harassment by electronic green dot

Subliminal audio, too, but John Dasilva is fighting back, with a large sign on his front lawn.

Oh, so that's the story

I wondered what was up with this sign when I cut by there to pick up my kids the other day. I was wondering why anyone would want that specific house, as there are others that are similar in the area already for sale. I guess they like the chicken nuggets at the concession stand at Wright's Pond and want to be as close as possible those two months of the year.

Maybe my husband can get somebody on the Medford, MA listserv to help him set up a surveillance cam to catch green spot time? I would think you would be able to block an audio spotlight with a double paned window or other sound blocking material?

While it is possible that he is being "gaslighted", it might be something as simple as the bounce of headlights off a car mirror with added imagination for extra joy.

They're trying to drive him crazy

But he won't give in.

The interesting part is that he says he first saw the green dot on his chest when he was lying in bed.

Now maybe his house is a little different from mine, but when I'm lying in bed, (a) my drapes are closed and (b) my chest is facing the ceiling, not the window.

Which can mean only one thing:
The campaign to drive him crazy and make him sell his house is exceedingly subtle and well-equipped.

Dude needs a tinfoil hat.

Or maybe has a neighbor who likes to play with laser pointers?

That hypothesis at least seems within the bounds of reality.

Drop the shades

If it is a laser pointer, it won't likely go through closed shades. We do that when we play laser chase with our cat so that we don't blind one of the neighbor kids.

I'm sure some shutters would do the trick too.

I still can't figure out why anybody would want that specific house - perhaps John Mellenkamp is doing a repeat of the Pink Houses contest?

Wasn't this the plot of a Three Investigators book?

I'm pretty sure Jupiter Jones could crack this in 15 minutes.
