The Knocking
                
        
        
         This is a story that I always
          liked
          hearing my parents talk about. My
          mother
         was pregnant with me and it
          was about
          the year of 1966. They lived in
          this
         house on Old Route 66 in
          Oklahoma. At
          the time my uncle was living with my
         folks, and every night usually
          around
          the same time there was this knocking
         sound that started from my
          uncles
          bedroom closet. There were times he
          could
         actually feel whatever it was
          walking
          over his feet, and then it would move
         on to another room, and then
          there
          were times where it would start from his
         closet and it would go
          straight out
          his bedroom window. The weird thing was,
         was when it knocked on the
          window it
          was like the sound of someone knocking
         on a window, and then when it
          would
          walk across the floor you could tell the
         difference in the floor than
          the
          sound of the window, so they knew it
          was
         definitely something. There
          were some
          that thought my folks had totally lost
         there mind, so they decided
          one night
          that they were going to stay over to
         see if they could hear it for
          themselves. For some strange reason the
         knocking sound did not start
          at the
          usual time it usually did and people
         were getting tired so they all
          decided to start packing up and going on
         home, about the time they were
          leaving the knocking sound started. My
          dad
         said there was this one guy
          that got
          down and followed it when it started
         and knew that it definitely
          something
          but he wasn't going to stick around to
         see what it was. He said he
          was going
          home.
        
         My folks got so use to it that
          it got
          at times where it didn't bother
          them,
         but it got to where it would
          do it in
          the day while my mother was home by
         herself. One night it started
          so my
          Dad being the Christian man he is
         decided he wanted to ask it a
          question. He waited until the knocking sound
         started and he said for the
          love of
          the Lord, "What do you want?" My father
         said when he said this it was
          like
          the knocking sound stopped right in its
         tracks and made a scooting
          sound like
          it turned around and looked at him.
         Needless to say may father
          didn't ask
          it anything else.
        
         A few months later my folks
          moved
          from the place and not long after they
         moved the place burnt to the
          ground.
          They found out later that there had
         been a bar there at one time
          and a
          man with a peg leg had been killed
          and
         thrown in the well behind the
          house.
          There have been people known to live on
         the property since my folks
          that have
          had the same strange things happen to
         them too. I hope you find this
          as
          interesting as I did.
