Jerry Lynn, the homeowner, told a local news station that the clock’s presence in the wall is his fault, but that he never dreamed he would still be dealing with the issue well over a decade later. Lynn says he was using the clock, tied to a string and dangling inside the wall, to help him locate a spot in the wall where he needed to drill to run some wire.
He set the alarm for ten minutes, then sent the clock down into the gap between the walls, hoping that listening for the chime would allow him to pinpoint the prime drilling location. Unfortunately, the clock wasn’t properly secured to the string, and when he heard the “thunk” of the battery-operated gadget breaking free from its tether, he knew it was bad, but didn’t think it would be an issue for long.
That was in 2004, and “it is still going off every day,” Lynn told the KDKA.

I remember reading an article about someone that dropped one of those digital musical cards behind a fixed stationary dresser in a nursing home. There wasn’t really enough room to fish it out, and the song played for quite a long time until people got desperate enough to just figure out whatever they had to do to get it out.
I know that would make me nuts. It probably played Happy Birthday or such.
Or they could use a magnet if there is no wiring in that section of the wall.
A big magnet would also kill the clock.
These people are either trying to pull a scam or are dumber than a sack of cat poop.
The clock stopped years ago. It’s a poltergeist.
