Hello! A couple months after I moved into my house around two years ago, I was showering pretty late at night. There’s a window in the shower, with a frosting on it. I heard 3 knocks on my window, which I assumed was my boyfriend messing with me. I knocked back the same way. I was tempted to open the window, but did not. I asked him after, “how much are you able to see in from outside?” and he didn’t understand so i asked if that was him knocking, it was not. I know it wasn’t him because we were both in tears freaking out!

I never heard of the superstition of 3 knocks until a couple months after, when I came across someone talking about it online and saying to “NEVER answer and don’t knock back” and that’s when I got concerned. It’s funny because at that point i kept telling my boyfriend I was cursed because of the bad luck I was having. Not only me but loved ones too. Maybe it’s coincidence. I hear things fall sometimes, maybe it’s coincidence too. I’ve always been a skeptic, but lately i’ve been convinced.

It started with me feeling like someone was right above me when I was asleep. not quite sleep paralysis. when I opened my eyes no one was there. But it felt like someone was hovering right above me, and I would be face to face with them when I opened my eyes. but nothing. this happened before I found out about the 3 knocks potentially letting spirits in

that hasn’t happened for a while, but the past few weeks, between 2-3 am every night I hear creaks throughout the house, in a way that feels like someone’s moving from place to place. i’ll even feel footsteps or sense footsteps around me, like someone’s coming toward my room. it’s so convincing that I sometimes think it’s my boyfriend coming to my room and I will look and no one is coming. I feel like I just hear strange things, and it makes it hard to sleep until 3 am or so. it’s literally 3 am as i’m writing this because idk what to do!

edit: it’s 4am now, I just woke up in a panic after hearing a noise, my dog was looking towards the bedroom door, which I sleep with completely open, and it was nearly closed. it never moves on its own!

TLDR; accidentally invited ghost in? weird things have happened and i’ve had bad luck, and just an overall sense of unease lately, and I keep thinking back to those 3 knocks. What can I do to undo answering those 3 knocks? everyone says to not answer but I can’t find any solutions for people who did answer lol.
