Rappings

Hearing knocks, thumps, taps and feeling a slight bump when no one is around is called rappings among paranormal researchers and investigators.

Rappings are thought to be the earliest known form of spirit communication. One of the most famous cases involving this type of phenomenon dates back to the mid 1800's: The Hydesville Rappings. Years later it was believed to be nothing more than a hoax. Regardless, and as a result of the claims, modern-day spiritualism was born.

One case that has yet to be proven fraudulent, and one of my favorites, is The Bell Witch haunting.

I have received a number of emails from readers who have experienced this phenomenon. Whether it coincide with the death of a loved one or happen as the result of a haunting, there seems to be something very real going on.
