Many of the old houses back then had screen doors on their verandas. The screen doors opened easy and were spring loaded so that they slammed shut when you let go. When it was dark we would tie fishing line to the door and hide out across the street. Then we would repeatedly pull the door open and let go causing the door to slam over and over. Then the occupant would rush out and look around to see what was going on. Of course we were hidden across the street so he couldn’t see us. seeing nothing he would go back in and as soon as his back was turned we would pull the door again LOL. This was great fun until one day someone located the string and started following the string. Needless to say we hi-tailed it out of there, with him in hot pursuit. Fear greatly enhances one’s foot speed.
