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.
