I confess to sometimes having trouble deciding whether to use the imperfecto or the preterito (sure sign of a gringo). In this case, I think I would have said "Creía que fue una pared." Would that ever be correct? I can sort of see how it could be either. I know that the imperfecto is used to give a narrative, but cases like this often trip me up.

It can be confusing. Some people can't recognise walls.

Creía - This can also be he/she/it/you (formal) believed/thought. More context would be required to give an exact meaning.
