Upper Arlington houses are older than they look from the curb, and the roofs have the gaps to prove it. Fascia pulls away. Chimney flashing opens. A ravine lot gives raccoons a climb that never touches the front walk. Squirrels use the mature oaks the same way.
People here often hear it over a bedroom and assume the house is settling. Settling does not roll walnuts or thump a path and stop. If it happens at the same time for a few nights, something is living up there.
ZIPs 43220 and 43221 are home territory. A photo of a bent vent from the yard is plenty. Please do not go into the attic to investigate a raccoon.
