... Twin boys live next door, they are about 3. We call them Sinister and Dexter for obvious reasons - one is good & the other is evil. At this moment I am sitting in our end room, the "office" listening to Sinister SCREAM. He does this a lot. It's not just an "I'm upset and need a cuddle crying", this is full on"I've been thwarted and I'm going to scream and scream and scream and scream and scream and scream and scream and scream and scream and scream and scream and scream and scream and scream and scream and scream and scream and scream and scream and scream and scream and scream and scream and scream".
It's that really raw, violent, angry, rage-full scream you don't actually hear that often (unless you live in our house, or their house), and it goes on for HOURS (I'm not kidding, literally hours).
When they first moved in I thought perhaps were were aurally witnessing some form of child abuse but no, it's Sinister not getting his way. You can track his progress up and down the house, you can hear his screams fade to nothing when she drives them somewhere. It's incredible the energy he puts into it. I think he only stops when he faints with fatigue. His mother calls him "the devil". How she has kept herself from killing the monster is beyond me, I'd cheerfully strangle the little bastard. The other one, Dexter, is a sweet kid - it just goes to show, it's not just a plot device, there really is always one good & one evil twin!
(Yes, I do also call my twin sisters-in-law Sinister & Dexter, again for obvious reasons and yes, screaming is sometimes involved).

Tips for dealing with children next door posessed by evil spirits (or THE evil spirit, you choose)
1 - paint an upside down pentogram on their front door
2 - don't drink their milk (it will have turned sour)
3 - liberally sprinkle lines of salt across your front door, back door and all of your window ledges (or was it lines of coke... um... no... it was salt)
4 - dig a mote around your house, and fill it with holy water.
Or you can borrow my pillow... I can give you instructions on how to use it.
Good ideas all, but I'm going to concentrate on fighting evil with evil. I am Pure Evil after all.
How about voodoo dolls?
