Three knocks in the night

This story was submitted to the site by Ann from Cedar City, Utah.
The following incident occurred in 1993. I was temporarily living with my brother and his wife. The property was located seven miles outside Cedar City, Utah on about five acres in a somewhat isolated area where residents had horses and other farm animals. The house had a long wooden porch running across the front with steps leading to the main entrance and steps on both sides. At the bottom of the side steps were double-hung bow windows. My day bed was situated right at the bow window.

I awoke in the middle of the night for no apparent reason. I was in a complete state of awareness. I heard three distinct knocks, for what I believed was on the front door. I remained very still listening for any additional sounds. It was dead silent. I became very fearful. I wanted to look out the window which would have given me a clear view of the entire porch area, but I was paralyzed with fear. My logical mind was thinking, maybe someone needs help, that's why the knocking, but I couldn't move a muscle.
I eventually fell back to sleep. I said nothing about the incident the following day. On the second day my brother said, "I heard knocking on the front door a couple of nights ago". I told him I also heard the knocks. Aside from a few comments back and forth we never discussed the subject again.

I think what made this experience so memorable was the fear factor associated with it. There were no deaths in the family and no misfortunes befell us. Three knocks in the night. Respectfully submitted, AHP, Bridgeport, Connecticut

Ask Whitley Streiber...Seriously.....There, below.http://www.alienhub.com/threads/the-knocks-whitley-strieber-breakthrough.46554/ I read Communion, Transformation, and whatever the third one was. Had a 3 knock deion in it. That was back when I was still " thinking " it could be real.   You might find it interesting. I would say, someone knocked on the door. Had this happen myself in a very rural place, and the house was still being built....Anyway, not going to take over with my story.

I was pre-pairing a B-day for my g-friends little sister she was turning sweet sixteen. I remember every one that lived in the house was busy so I took care of the little details like pre-pairing the ribbons and balloons & it happened twice I was ( two ) hearing people talking right outside the door at a normal level for a long time 5 minutes. So I went to let them in opened the door no one there. Again it happened so I waited till the next day to tell them what a curious thing had happened. The day before. That`s about it .

I had a ghostly incident too when I was about 17 or 18 years old. I and my friends were talking about the chinese belief (we r chinese) that after u come back from a haunted place u must wash your feet outside your home, or else spirits will follow u into your house. That night we really did go to a haunted place. Including me there were four of us. After a few hours of walking around, we went back to my place. Being typical can't be bothered teens, we just went straight to my room. It was there that we talked about us not washing our feet, and if any ghosts followed us and all that... Then su... [More]

These things are very interesting. These things are pretty common in the world of the paranormal but it's good that people share stories as these things may be 'rare' but 'not all that rare' either. It sounds like you are just sharing stories to get things off your chest and not asking for advice as I wouldn't know what to tell you at this point. Best wishes with this thing.
