Probably, by the twenty-first century, many people will no longer be surprised by the words: “Ghost”, “Poltergeist”, “Astral entities”, “Spirits”. For many, these are just words... But not for those in whose apartments something supernatural has settled. For example, like in my apartment. Sometimes I feel like I live in a minefield. You never know if it’s a cat rustling in the next room or something else. Doors opening, strange sounds are just a few of all the strange things in my life. (If anyone is interested, I can make a separate post about my encounters with similar phenomena, because there’s not much about that right now.) So, here are a few signs that uninvited guests have appeared in your house/apartment/room.

1. Perfect realism.

This category includes turning on/off lights, opening and closing doors, moving any objects before your eyes or during your absence, as well as spontaneous movement of children's wind-up toys. By the way, frequent blinking of lights can also be classified in this category.

2. Tactile contact.

Many people feel that someone is touching them either in their sleep or before going to bed. At the same time, touches can be light and soothing, but they can be quite rough, like slaps in the face. Also, “entities” can push you almost perceptibly.

3. Sound confusion and strange smells.

There are times when people, left alone in an apartment, hear inexplicable rustles, sounds, steps, stomping... Many even hear snippets of phrases and their names. The same situation applies to smells. The smell of perfume that you have never had before appears in the room, etc. At the same time, these odors disappear very quickly, as if they never existed. For example, I very often smell wet plaster in my apartment. And when I call someone, this smell is no longer there.

4. Black shadows

Very often, with my peripheral vision, I notice a dark figure sneaking past me. At the same time, when I turn my gaze to this place, it is already empty....

5. Loss of things and their subsequent return.

I think many have encountered a similar case. Someone always “borrows” things and then politely returns them.

6. Inexplicable animal behavior

In houses in which various entities are present, animals behave very restlessly. Cats can stare at one point for an hour, hiss into emptiness, and run away in fear from an empty corridor. And dogs can growl and rush into space, thereby showing their courage.

7. "Inhospitable Apartment"

I have had cases when it seemed that the apartment itself refused to let me home. You insert the key into the keyhole and realize that it won’t turn. Once, twice. I took out the spare key and tried again. Same result. I walked around, hysterical for about 10 minutes, and decided to try again. And lo and behold, the apartment deigned to let me in....

Do things happen in your life that terribly scare you or at least make you wary?

I am writing about the signs of fate associated with a knock on the door. If you are an impressionable person who gets scared easily, be careful. A large number of stories collected in one place can increase your anxiety. Knocking (or ringing) on ​​the door when there is no one behind it - rare phenomenon. Usually, such signs are received by special people in the family, who at a deep level feel the movement of the family dynamics and are endowed with certain abilities. And for the most part, incomprehensible knocking sounds are or (simple auditory hallucinations).

The door is the boundary of the living space. Open - connects us with the outside world, inviting us to come in. Closed - protects, isolates, stores. On a symbolic level, we all enter the door of life and are doomed to one day leave it. Childbirth and funerals are milestones of a change in fate. All events that change the gender qualitatively and quantitatively have been accompanied since ancient times by magical actions with doors. The memory of this is alive despite the modern technological content of life. Therefore, signs of fate are often associated with doors as a sacred symbol.

A knock on the door is a sign of the death of a loved one

“My grandmother had such a story. Three times she clearly heard the doorbell ring, went to open it, swung the door open, and there was no one there. Three days later her son died. That’s how trouble came.”

“My friend had this! There was a knock on the door, she opened it silently, and the next day they brought Seryozha (her husband). He sagged under the trucker’s wheels.”

In our house there is a small window in the kitchen that looks out onto the street and you can see the front door. I was in the kitchen and heard a knock on the door, but the dog was sleeping calmly under the table, although he usually jumps out of his skin when they call or knock. I looked out the window and saw a tall, thin figure in a black hood; in profile, only a large nose was visible. I also thought that this guy was delivering advertisements and for some reason he was wearing a hood like that, because it was not raining. I went out into the yard through the garden, but there was no one there, and even when I went out into the street, there was no one either... Only later did I understand what it was when, 10 days later, my mother-in-law died.”

“Oh, how I didn’t believe in all this and ignored such stories from friends. For the time being! I stopped by to see my cousin, we sat and chatted, then my sister and her dad went to accompany me into the hallway, and then the intercom rang. They live in a private house and have an intercom with video surveillance. Immediately after the call, a maximum of a second passed, we turned on the video broadcast, no one was there. Turned off. About 30 seconds later the call came again - the same thing. We turn it on - no one. I got scared and decided to play the video from the last hour. So no one approached the intercom from outside. They blamed it on a CCTV malfunction. After the examination, it was confirmed that the video intercom is in order and fully operational. The next day, my sister's mother dies. I still can’t find an explanation for these events.”

“It was in 2008. I woke up at about five in the morning to the doorbell. I thought the neighbors were downstairs. I come up and look through the peephole: no one is there. Went to bed. And in the evening my dad became ill, they called an ambulance, and he died on the way to the hospital. But the bell hasn’t worked since then, and it hasn’t burned out, it just doesn’t work and that’s it.”

“I used to not believe in this sign when a friend told me that before her mother’s death there were doorbells, until she encountered it herself. In the morning I woke up to the doorbell, it was 5:50. I think we're probably drowning our neighbors. I went to the door, looked through the peephole, and there was no one there. The door didn't open. That day in the evening my father, OSN, died. So after that the call no longer worked.”

“My mother’s brother’s wife was seriously ill. And after some time, knocking began to be heard on the street (they have a private sector). Looks like they're cutting wood. It knocked for about three weeks until my husband asked: “For worse or for good?” The knocking stopped, and about three days later the wife died.”

“Today I was alone at home, and I clearly heard a knock on the door inside the apartment, I didn’t go look, it was a little creepy. I met someone like this when I was a kid. There was a knock on the window in the evening, when the whole family was at the table, and soon the sister drowned. Before my son died, I heard a knock on the front door, unfortunately, I opened it.”

My beloved dear husband died three months ago. All that remains after a loved one is my son. An incident occurred before my husband's death. My husband said that he would arrive now, and after a while I heard my husband’s voice saying “Sveta” and a knock on the door. I run out of the house, wide open all two doors, both from the house and from the corridor, to meet my husband. But he is not there. And I remembered how people said that it was bad when you heard a knock on the door and that if you opened the door, you would let death into the house. I didn’t believe in it and forgot about it, after a while an accident happened and my husband died.”

“I was 18, I had just gotten married and had a daughter (she was 2 months old). My husband went on a business trip (at least he should have left). On the day of his return, at about 5 am, someone rang the doorbell (or knocked? I don’t remember). The time was just right when my husband could return from the train. I rushed to open it, and my grandmother started swearing at me so that I should look through the peephole first, you never know. I started to object that it was definitely my husband, but I looked through the peephole. There was no one there. I wondered who could be knocking at 5 am on the weekend, and went on to sleep. My husband never returned from his business trip that day. We started looking for him and found him in the morgue. He had been there for a week already and died before leaving for his business trip.”

“In Crimea, in my house, I stood on the street with my mother-in-law at about 21-22 o’clock. The wife was in the house putting the child to bed. The father-in-law was ill and lay motionless on the veranda. My brother-in-law went to get an ampoule of analgin (to inject my father-in-law). They knocked on the gate three times, the mother-in-law said, Vitka must have arrived, it’s 5 meters to the gate. He walked up, opened it, no one, went out into the street, no one on the left or right either. My wife heard it too and came out and asked, “Has Vitka arrived?” And the next day at 15.00 the father-in-law died. I didn’t come up with anything, that’s how it was.”

A knock on the door is a sign of imminent death

“A couple of times at night my father heard a knock on the door, but there was no one outside the door. After some time, he died.”

“My parents heard a knock on the door. This was in the spring of 2014. Dad opened the door, there was no one there. After some time, all the flowers in the house began to dry, and an incomprehensible bitter smell appeared, although the windows were closed only at night. In September of the same year, my mother passed away.”

A knock on the door is a sign of separation

“I personally have had this happen many times, but I know that you can’t open it, it’s like you’re letting evil spirits into your home. So I look through the peephole or ask “who?” If there is silence, then I don’t open it. Here’s an example: I was 7 months pregnant, and the relationship with the child’s father was fading. My friend and I were sitting in the hall and we both clearly heard someone pull the door handle and knock. I immediately jumped up and opened it without hesitation, but there was no one there and no steps. That day I broke up with my boyfriend forever and never saw him again.”

A knock on the door is a sign of illness of a loved one

“Once we spent the night at a friend’s apartment, and her parents were at the dacha. It was already late. My friend went to bed, and I was sitting watching TV, and turned it on quietly. After a while, she suddenly jumps out of the room and runs to the front door. She looked through the peephole and returned. He says to me: “Why didn’t you come to the door, since you’re not sleeping?” I was surprised, I didn’t hear anything. And she: “So there was a call!” But I didn’t sleep and didn’t hear any call. She could clearly hear the doorbell ringing. And the next morning we found out that her dad had a bad heart problem that night.”

A knock on the door means the death of a pet

“I shared in another topic here about our irreparable loss the other day (the spaniel died). That same evening we hear the cat door rattling. Yes, it’s so strange, as if with a fist with all your strength, and quickly, quickly. The husband says: “Go let our Staffordshire wife in (we recently adopted a puppy), otherwise he’ll break it.” I went, and there was no one there, the puppy was generally far away, in another part of the territory, minding its own business. Another strange feeling came over me as the door opened into this darkness: anxiety, discomfort. And 3 days later our cat died.”

"The soul comes to say goodbye"

“A relative had this happen - she and her husband heard a knock at about three in the morning - he even ran to check - either on the door or on the window. Then we found out that one guy died around this time. When she was still little, he gave her his blood for a transfusion, and then he got lost somewhere and they didn’t communicate for a long time. Well, it seemed like he came to say goodbye to her.”

“We had a similar experience when someone close to us left. The grandmother died, three people clearly heard the gate open. Grandfather left. My mother, my aunt and I, being in different rooms, heard someone stomping across the yard (private house). My husband’s father left, my husband and I were afraid to sleep without light)) a couple of days later we heard the wall switch click in his room, the two of us jumped. Just think, will your loved one do anything bad to you? The soul comes to say goodbye. Although I believe it’s creepy.”

“I myself witnessed it when I was visiting a friend whose son served in the army. The doorbell rang (I heard it myself), she opened it, and there was no one outside the threshold. Then it became known that it was on this day and around this time that her son died; he served in Afghanistan.”

“We ourselves live in Moscow. I was with my husband and children at the dacha, spending the night in tents by the lake. You can’t knock on our door, but all night I felt uneasy. I justified it by saying that the small child sleeps on the street, in tents, and that’s why I’m worried. And my mother takes care of her mother (she suffered a stroke) in Mozhaisk. So at one o'clock in the morning their doorbell rang. My mother and my brother's godmother were sitting in the kitchen. They felt afraid and at first did not want to open it. But we went anyway, the bell was on a door where you can’t ring until you enter the yard, and all the gates (the fence is high) are closed. Then the godmother said that she heard steps. They opened it, there was no one there. That same night, in Moscow, there were also footsteps and a knock on the door in our apartment. My brother was at home with his girlfriend, my brother opened the door and there was no one there. It's horrible! Then it happened again, but they didn’t go to open it, then the window in the kitchen swung open, scattering everything from the window sill. And they seemed to be closing. THE NEXT DAY WE WERE INFORMED ABOUT OUR GRANDFATHER'S DEATH. Maybe he came to say goodbye.”

A knock on the door is a sign of change, strong disappointments, problems at work

“A month before my grandfather’s death, my mother received knocks: either on the door or on the windows in the middle of the night. This was the case before my brother died. We are being warned. We have even begun to understand when and why this is happening. If they knock on our door before five in the morning, it’s bad news; if after, it’s a joyful event. I heard that this brownie is warning his mistress, I don’t know if it’s true or not.”

“I also had this happen when I lived in a rented apartment. Perhaps I dreamed of the knock, but I woke up from it and ran to open the door, but there was no one behind it. Within six months, my life changed dramatically, both for the better (I met my husband) and for the worse (problems at work, and then losing it altogether).”

“This happened two days before the last meeting with my ex. In the morning I woke up in my parents’ room, the door to my room was tightly closed as usual. There was no one at home. She wanted to lie down some more and lay down again, closing her eyes. Suddenly there is a knock on the door. Loudly, clearly, as if with your knuckles. There was no draft. I immediately jumped out of bed. The knock was not on the front door of the apartment, but on my door. I then read on the Internet that this could be either a warning about someone’s death, or it could be some kind of news. I then thought that maybe this was good news and he would propose to me... Unfortunately, this meeting did not bring me anything but tears.”

A knock on the door is a sign of pregnancy

“And I always hear a knock and open the door during pregnancy (2-3 days before the delay). But this happiness was probably knocking.”

“You know, I had a friend who couldn’t get pregnant. She says that once after she finished having sex with her husband, literally 1 minute later there was a knock on the door. She quickly ran to open the door, and there was no one there. And my friend said that when she opened the door, she had the feeling that she became pregnant at that very moment. I remember how she told me about this literally the next day, how it all happened. We once laughed that she was already so fixated on the fact that she couldn’t get pregnant that she was already having glitches. And after 2 weeks she took a pregnancy test and, indeed, she was pregnant. That’s the story!”

Knock on the door - moving

“Once upon a time my doorbell also rang and there was a knock in my apartment. I kept running to the door. This was before the move. Then I moved out of that apartment.” .

An unexpected knock on the window glass is unlikely to leave anyone indifferent. After all, a sharp sound coming from the direction from which only familiar street noises are usually heard can frighten with its suddenness even in broad daylight. What can we say about situations when this happens in the silence of the night or at dawn?

Most often, there is a completely reasonable explanation for the knocking: children’s hooliganism, the appearance of a friend, or a tree branch swaying in a strong wind. These actions do not have any mystical significance.

It happens that the cause is an inattentive bird, and then the meaning of the belief depends on its species. For example, a crow foretells the death of one of the household, a sparrow promises useless troubles, a motley wagtail promises fun, and a titmouse predicts the favor of fortune.

But sometimes the origin of sounds causes absolute bewilderment, and then gloomy folk omens come to mind, promising various misfortunes.

• The most general interpretation of the mysterious noise outside the window means that you will soon receive some unpleasant news. This news will most likely become tragic for you and lead to sad changes in fate.
• A more specific explanation depends on the nature of the sounds. If the noise can be described as loud and intrusive, then get ready for trials related to the material sphere of life. Lingering sounds, similar to grinding or scratching, portend problems in your personal life or difficulties in communicating with colleagues. A loud and abrupt knock means stunning, but by no means happy news, fraught with serious trouble.
• Depending on the time of day, the interpretation of the sign also changes. An evening knock foreshadows the illness or even death of someone in the household, and then, in order to avoid sad consequences, you should under no circumstances look out the window.
• If frightening sounds are heard from time to time in the silence of the night, then it is worth consecrating your home. After all, this is exactly how evil entities manifest themselves, trying to penetrate a house and settle in someone’s body.
• Did you hear knocks on the glass during the day? You should be wary of the unpleasant consequences of malicious gossip spread about you by neighbors, acquaintances or colleagues. For your own benefit, try not to pay attention to gossip and calmly walk through life along your chosen path.
• Is the window rattling heard at dawn? Most likely, this is how the soul of a person who once died in the house announces its appearance. Sometimes in this way she reminds of unfulfilled dying requests or items of the will, or maybe she simply asks to visit the grave.
• If something persistently drums on the window on the eve of a church holiday, then you should definitely attend a church service. Perhaps lately you have been paying too little attention to saving your own soul, and higher powers have decided to remind you of this.
• A knock repeated repeatedly at the same time warns that soon you will have to receive uninvited and not very pleasant guests. Their visit will probably end in problems and disappointments for you.
• Our ancestors believed that if persistent knocks on the glass were heard during rain, then it was better not to start any business. After all, this is how providence warns the inhabitants of the house that a streak of bad luck has begun for them.
• If knocking on the window glass haunts you only in your night dreams, then in real life new dizzying prospects and opportunities will suddenly open up for you. Hurry to take advantage of the current situation. Are the impacts too loud and persistent? In reality, you will have to overcome many obstacles to achieve your cherished goal, but you will be able to cope with the test with dignity.

A knock on the door can mean a lot of things, so you always need to be very attentive and not overlook such seemingly trifles. Magic is a very mystical and mysterious phenomenon. Anyone who has managed to master this gift is considered chosen and special, because not everyone can become a friend of witchcraft.

After which, there is a special liquid that can be taken even from a novice magician. It is necessary to sprinkle the house with this water and say the following words: grief, misfortune and misfortune, leave my house forever. This must be said until the whole house is sprinkled.

Very often people come to magicians and tell them that someone lives in the attic of the house, someone is knocking in the house, or someone is constantly looking out the window at night. But, most often, clients complain about night knocks on the window or door.

An incomprehensible knock on the door disturbs many people, and, of course, going out onto the landing or into the courtyard of the house, you can see only emptiness and not a single living soul. What could this mean and how to deal with it? Maybe it was the neighbors who decided to play a joke or small children, but if it goes beyond the limits, then it’s no longer a laughing matter. Goosebumps do not give you peace, and it’s already scary to go out on your own in the evening.

Most often, the knocking can be done by ghosts who used to live in this house or apartment. Perhaps their soul cannot yet completely let go of their beloved place, and is trying in any way to get into the environment of their previous place of residence. This knock may be light and quiet, but if there is only one person in the apartment, then this is unlikely to smooth out the situation. And sometimes it’s quite the opposite, the knocking is strong and prolonged, but when you look through the peephole and see the emptiness, your heart begins to jump out of your chest. Many people complain about this phenomenon.

A knock on the window and door disturbs many residents, and then panic begins and a quick solution to the problem begins, because living in constant fear becomes unbearable. Some magicians advise first to consecrate the house with sacred water from the church. For the best effect, this should be done by the priest himself. He, as a rule, reads a prayer and sprinkles all the rooms both inside and outside the house itself. Then he draws a cross on the front door, reads more prayers, and this ends the consecration of the house.

But it is not uncommon to consecrate a house on your own. It is necessary to take baptized water, read the “Our Father” prayer over it three times, cross yourself, and sprinkle the entire house with cruciform movements, both inside and outside. Prayer is a very powerful force against evil spirits and dirt, so this method is considered the most relevant and most effective today.

There have been cases when knocks on the door and window were accompanied by incomprehensible sounds: humming, noise, human voices or ringing. In this case, magicians advise, in addition to the church ritual, to influence these events yourself. A person is able to perform some ritual tasks himself in order to cleanse his house without the help of sorcerers. The influence of the fire of a white candle is very strong. You need to buy 9 regular white candles, light each one in turn and place them in the corners of the rooms.

Sometimes people complain about knocking on the door at night. It’s unlikely that anyone is waiting for guests at night. If there is not a soul behind the door, you should not open it. These are very serious things. All magicians and sorcerers, as one, claim that by opening a door with no one behind it, trouble and misfortune are automatically let into the house. This is not visible to the naked eye, but after living for a couple of months, the people living in this house are constantly haunted by various misfortunes and diseases. No one knows why this is, and then it turns out that it was all brought by invisible guests who so diligently and persistently broke into the apartment. And why do these strange phenomena occur at night? Knocking on the door, on the window, walking in the attic, or strange sounds. Experts in these matters claim that at night it is easiest to take over a person’s mind, drive him into a dead end and force him to do everything that ghosts want. This is not the fault of the residents living in such a mysterious house. No one can explain why such oddities can be seen in certain houses. Perhaps because of the past life of the former owners, because it is their souls that so persistently make their way to their home. Because of their sins and bad lifestyle. But since this has happened, then you need to do everything in your power so as not to bring disaster upon yourself and your family. You can, of course, come to terms with this, but it is unlikely to help, because sooner or later the trouble itself will slip into the apartment and make itself felt.

Also, very often magicians or sorcerers recommend attaching a red ribbon to the handle of the front door on both sides. This will help not only ward off evil spirits, but also protect the house from misfortunes, troubles and diseases. The ribbon should hang not only when knocking and various sounds are heard, but always. Also, a painted cross on the front door and the presence of icons in the room will definitely protect the house from unkind spirits and ghosts.

In addition, not only the ghost or spirits of deceased residents, but also brownies can break into a house or apartment. These are little people who live in almost all houses. You need to treat them well and not bother them with any little things. These little invisible people can bring joy and laughter to the house, as well as misfortune and illness. They cannot be seen with the naked eye, but can be noticed by the movement of things. The same cups or saucers may be slightly shifted. Or at night you can feel someone’s breathing or presence. There is no need to be scared, this could be a good sign.

Magicians will always help solve this kind of problem both morally and practically. They will always find suitable words of support and quickly find a way out of the situation. These are the people who have certain knowledge to fight evil spirits.

In conclusion, it is worth saying that you should not immediately panic and rush to extremes; perhaps this is just a bad joke from neighbors or friends. Or maybe this little brownie decided to please the residents of the apartment or house with his presence and bring laughter and joy into the house.

In many countries, there is a belief that the seventh son in the family has a magical gift, is able to heal people and foresee the future, so superstitious parents sometimes insist that their child become a doctor.

A knock on the window - a sign of joy or grief?

It's not just people knocking on windows and doors. Sometimes the culprits of such a sound are tree branches or otherworldly entities. When a person clearly hears a knock and does not detect who or what is making it, they say that trouble has come to the house.

However, this is not quite true. A knock on a window during the day is interpreted as a warning about receiving news from afar. It may be the result of the pranks of neighbor's children or a bored brownie.

Knock on the window: what to do with a sign

Most often, birds knock on glass. They are considered messengers of higher powers. In most cases, they report upcoming changes in life. Whether a feathered creature brings good or bad news depends on its membership in a particular bird community.

A knock of unknown origin may indicate the presence in the house of a poltergeist or the souls of dead people who once lived in the area. A priest or psychic can rid a house of uninvited guests.

Signs and superstitions associate a knock on a window or door of unknown origin with the following events:

1. There was a knock on the window - signs advised to cross yourself, wipe the glass with holy water and read a prayer. In most cases, this is a sign of the presence of higher powers, warning of possible misfortune.
2. A knock on the window in the evening is a sign of death or serious illness of one of the household members. In such a situation, you cannot look out the window, much less open it.
3. Knocking on the window at night is a sign of the presence of evil spirits near the home, who roam the earth after sunset and are looking for an opportunity to take possession of the human body.
4. The sign - a knock on the door has a similar interpretation to the above.
5. Knocking on doors and windows on the eve of church holidays reminds us of the need to visit the temple and remember the dead.
6. If the knocking is repeated for several days in a row at the same time, this is a sign that you will soon have to welcome unexpected guests.

How to protect yourself from evil spirits?

To scare away evil spirits, it is customary to hang various amulets and amulets over the threshold, and periodically wash the glass with holy water. Opening a window to hear a strong knock is a negative omen. It is believed that in this way a person opens a passage to the other world and lets misfortune into the house.
