Three Knocks- Revisited

A while back, I wrote about a popular "Three Knocks" phenomenon that many are experiencing. It was my great-grandmother's experience that compelled me to write the original post to this most interesting occurrence. Since then, I have shared a few other posts on the topic due to the huge response I received from my readers and those who are searching for information online. With almost 100 comments here and a combined view count of 13, 000 by readers- I decided to revisit 'Three Knocks" and write a quick update about the phenomenon.

Some call them 'death knocks' - an omen of sorts. Others say it is spirits trying to reach out to their living relatives. I have also received emails from readers who strongly believe the knocks to be from a demonic source.   The question which everyone is asking and one that still remains is, who or what is causing the 3 distinct, loud knocking sounds that so many people are experiencing? Unfortunately,  there is no way to know for sure. One thing is for certain- it's happening and more and more people are searching for answers.

Three Knocks - Who's There?

In a previous post, which has gotten a number of responses from readers, a reader shared their experience about hearing three knocks in the night. So, I thought that I would discuss this occurrence again.

Have you found yourself lying in bed, just about to fall asleep, when suddenly you hear three distinct knocks nearby on the door, wall or window? Has this happened more than once? Maybe you figured the source and went to sleep. Or, it left you shaking under your sheets.

Once all other rational explanations have been ruled out, one then asks who or what is causing the phenomenon and why? For my great grandmother, who spoke openly about the occurrence, it was her daughters way of letting her know she was OK. Maybe for you, the hour is significant. Some have said it is around the time a loved one died, while others say that the time has no meaning. Could be a ghost or residual haunting. One would have to keep a written record of the event-time, place and conditions at the time knocking takes place. With this, a pattern could develop that could help when investigating your situation further.

That could explain the knocks. However, what is the significance with the number 3? This has left me scratching my head...

I would love to hear from anyone who could offer any further explanations to what so many have experienced. Has any of my readers who are paranormal investigators experienced this in the field?

~I appreciate the response from readers and each of the comments you all have sent in over time regarding this happening.

Three Knocks At The Door

Here is an experience that a reader recently shared with me. Your thoughts on this would be much appreciated.

Hey there, I just came across your blog on blogspot.com after doing a google

search of "three unexplained knocks", which linked me to your profile with

the story about your great-grandmother. Reading your other stories, I see

you've had quite a lot of experiences with the paranormal. The reason I was

doing a search for the knocking was because tonight, when trying to sleep

but still wide awake, I heard three knocks at my bedroom door, as did my dog

who jumped up and started barking. Thing is, my mother and father were

upstairs sound asleep, so it wasn't them.. I just found it creepy and a bit

disconcerting since I remember the legend of the 'death knock'.. but I was

wondering, since you seem to be used to this kind of stuff.. do you think it

meant anything, or was maybe just a spirit passing through? I don't think it

was in my imagination.. no way, since the knocking was way too loud to pass

it off.



Growing up in an old house in NJ, I always would hear my name being called

when no one was there, would see black shadows darting past in the corner of

my eyes, felt like I was being watched with the hair on my neck standing up,

had a few doors open unexplained, as well as felt someone sit next to me on

my bed while I was lying down... bed springs and all.



The house I live in now in PA (I moved here 4 years ago at 17) has been

built for us, and there's never been any weird happenings.. well, that's not

true, but it wasn't as bad as the old house. I've felt someone sit next to

me in my bed once (with my mother reporting the same feeling the next

morning), and had the door open a few times, but nothing really alarming.

And these happenings were within the first year I moved there; nothing

recently.



So these knocks really creeped me out.. have anything like this happen to

you before? Who (or what) do you think it is? Anyway, love the blog!

Thanks again for sharing your story with me and the rest of my readers.
