Warning if you don't like horror/scary stories/ghosts etc, don't proceed reading >~<

So last night I fell asleep pretty early because I had a really busy night at work. But I was awoken around 2am by a sudden knock at my door.
So now at my house, it's not unusual for my family to be up at all sorts of crazy hours so I thought it was my mum. I naturally ignored it because I know she would realise I was asleep and leave me alone. But then I heard the knock again, but louder this time.
So I murmured "What?!" in my half asleep way. But the knocking continued. So I was getting annoyed and said more firmly and angrily "WHAT?"
It stopped. I got no answer though.
...
But then it started again, this time I tried turning my lamp on (My lamp is horrible, it won't turn on properly if you don't click it into the right place) So the light was flashing on and off, as the knocking became more insistent, I finally got my light to stay on as I rushed to the door angrily yelling "WHAT".
But holy fuck guys, nothing was fucking there. My brother came out of his room and asked me why I was yelling, and I could hear my mum snoring in her room...

I am not genuinely freaked out of my house D:



Ps- still working on those commissions //dies sorry OTL

I'll be honest, I'm no expert in this, but I've actually befriended many spirits in my day. Not all are bad. My favorite "ghost" (I prefer spirit) at the time was named James. He's since left my presence which made me sad for a while, but he started off similarly. There were days when he would openly try to scare me. One day he growled in my ear, this obscene fox-like growl that scared me out of my skin. I went to a healer that was acquainted with my family and she formally introduced us. From there we became friends for at least two and a half years. Even when we were friends he would still prank me. Like the one time when I told him to shush because I wanted to sleep, and he made this weird sound...like if a frog could hiccup - again right in my ear xDD

As someone who's not really an expert but also knows that not all spirits are trying to hurt you, I might actually try to formally address them, see if you get any answers about their name, their reasoning, etc - whatever you feel like asking at the time. And don't be surprised if you don't hear an actual voice in response to your questions - you might just get more knocking or you might just feel the answer in your gut as if intuition was your radio.

Who knows, maybe this entity wants some sort of assistance or friendship.

if the entity, however, continues to try to scare you with scarier noises/throwing things/touching you when you don't want to be touched, cleans the heck out of your room. Sage does wonders for this - but don't burn it all at once. It's extremely smoky and you might choke/accidentally burn your house down. XD

Oh I'm not really all that worried about it, I've encountered spirits many times before, and I also know they aren't all bad (In fact most aren't), But I also know how to make them leave my house if I feel as though they are not a presence that should be around...

Although I have to admit I don't think I've ever befriended a spirit before, but I have allowed them to stick around if they want ; v ;

I practice wicca on occasion since my mother also did when she was younger, so maybe I'll invite them to talk to me through the cards. That may be a nice way to start off a conversation I think (:

Lol there are many ways to cleanse the house/room so I'll ask them nicely to leave first if these things get bad xD (But if they don't leave I will probably have to use a sage method)

I'm glad you're not worried about it or anything - usually it's hard to explain to people the niceness of most spirits when they're shitting their pants. XD (not that you are, you're quite level-headed.)

I'm not actually familiar with wicca :'o nor any of its practices. I have a vague idea but that's about it - I had to learn to cope with spirits when I realized I was a bit of a magnet. Befriending them was actually a really great step.

I hope things go well when it comes to these spirits! Hopefully they were just trying to be friendly by knocking for entry into your room but forgot that it'd probably be creepy. XD

Ghosts....are....extremely scary. And dangerous. If I were you,
I would make sure to get to the bottom of it. I mean, find out for sure
it wasn't just someone pranking you....

Because knocking like that on the door is not something nice ghosts do.

AAAHHH /ismortallyparanoidofghostsbecauseofexpriences
That's why old houses are so freakin scary. OMG I think I am
in for another sleepless night.....can't sleep until the sun is up....

But for real...in my house....we have weird problems often. I'd be
sitting in my chair alone, and suddenly, it would be pulled backwards.
Sometimes my sister would be in a chair, and it would go forwards.
Having extremely loud noises no one else heard. The feeling that someone
is RIGHT UP AGAINST YOUR BACK. Weird lights. Footsteps. Doors moving on their
own with no windows or fans. Temperature changes all of a sudden. Spots on the floor
or other surfaces that is really cold or really hot......things going missing.....

Well not all are scary, and not all are bad. Some are just pranksters but some take things to the next level..
Which sounds more like what you have D:

I live in a new apartment, and this is the first time something like this has happened in this place.
But it's not unheard of to be followed by wandering spirits to your house. (Because of curiosity for them) So I may have been followed OTL

I can rid my house of it pretty easily though, so I'm not too fussed ; v ;

but dude that sounds creepy and I hope for your sake that the spirit is only haunting the house and no one in particular.. ;~;

I hate haunting of any kind. /shivers
It's a good thing that I am not pretty.
Pretty people always get targeted. LMFAO ; A ;

But man, it certainly doesn't help my panic disorder.
Or....wow...I never thought of this before but what if
the ghost it the cause of my panic disorder. orz
I would just be sitting there and all of a sudden feel like
I'm having a heart attack or something.....can't breathe, get
really light headed, my throat closes up, my chest feels heavy,
I have chest flip flops and flutters.....eee......
