Unexplained Noises: A Night to Remember – Footsteps and Taps

The Night from Hell Begins

One of the scariest and most memorable experiences of my life happened during a quiet, solitary night in a house. I was alone in my room, and that's when things started getting eerie. I heard slow, heavy footsteps outside my window, just next to it, and then they transitioned into a rhythmic tapping. It evolved into scratching, and this went on until I couldn't bear it anymore. I sought help by going to my parents' room and telling them about the creeping sounds. My father, who was awake, stayed up to investigate, but his only explanation was that bugs could have been responsible, despite the nearby tree being 17 feet away. When I turned off the lights, the tapping ceased, but when I awoke the following morning, I discovered a crack on the outside glass of my window.

A Patterns of Unseen Visitors

In the wake of the coronavirus lockdown in 2020, I was staying with my mother in a newly rented house. One Saturday night, around 3:30 AM, I heard a tapping sound at my door. I instantly alerted my mother, but she did not hear anything. I tried to relax, hoping it was birds or bats, but my mother remained skeptical. She was chanting and reciting prayers, wearing a protective sleeve, and when I told her about the taping sound, she simply told me to go back to bed. Interestingly, my mother witnessed something passing by the window from the right to the left, which was unusual given the absence of any structures on the left side and the distance of just a few meters. She tried to wait for the mystery figure to return but to no avail. We had a room heater in the only living room due to the cold temperatures caused by the virus. Over the next few weeks, we noticed similar occurrences multiple times. Eventually, we decided to leave the house after three months. Post-moving out, it was revealed that an elderly man had sadly taken his life by jumping from the second floor six months earlier. Could there be a connection between his death and the strange nocturnal activities?
