Albany, GA – A series of unsettling events centered around the Salmon family home on Maple Street has gripped the small Georgia town, culminating in a prolonged and increasingly disruptive spectral piano performance. Authorities are currently investigating the phenomena, which began late last night and has resulted in widespread anxiety and minor property damage.

The initial reports began flooding into the Albany County Sheriff’s Department around 11:30 PM. Witnesses described a distinct, melancholic piano melody emanating from the Salmon residence. Initially dismissed as a local musician practicing, the sound quickly intensified and, according to several accounts, became undeniably linked to the spirit of Susie Salmon, the 14-year-old victim of a brutal crime that tragically occurred there nearly two years ago.

“It wasn’t just music,” stated Mr. Jack Salmon, Susie’s father, in a brief statement to local media. “It was… like she was trying to tell us something. The pieces were familiar, but arranged in a way I’d never heard before. It was… heartbreaking.”

Since the initial performance, the spectral music has continued intermittently, with the tempo and complexity growing with each repetition. The piano, a vintage Steinway inherited by Mr. Salmon, has been observed moving on its own, and several objects within the house have reportedly been displaced. Mrs. Abigail Salmon, Susie’s mother, reported a particularly unsettling incident this morning when a framed photograph of her daughter fell from the wall, landing directly at the foot of the piano.

“I swear, it just… drifted,” she said, visibly shaken. “It wasn’t a push, it was… deliberate.”

Local paranormal investigator, Mr. Silas Blackwood, who arrived on the scene earlier today, believes the music is a form of communication. “The intensity and the specific arrangement suggest a deeply personal message,” he explained. “The Salmon family needs to understand what Susie is trying to convey. It’s clear she hasn’t moved on.”

Sheriff Brody confirmed that a team of specialists, including forensic psychologists and spiritual advisors, are assisting in the investigation. He urged residents to remain calm and to avoid approaching the Salmon property. “We understand this is a difficult and unsettling situation,” Sheriff Brody stated, “but we are committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of our community.” The investigation remains ongoing, and updates will be provided as they become available.
