My SUPERNATURAL Experience| The Doorknob and the Unexpected Visitor 😱

When we were kids, we have our own stories to tell but most of us opt to keep it to ourselves. For the reason, that other people might think that we only created it based on our imagination. Whatever the opinion is, I have my own experiences that even myself cannot point if it was real. Today, I want to share with you one of the unexplained events during my childhood in the last quarter of the year 1993.

We lived in an area where houses are distant from each other, surrounded by trees. I could hear the birds singing at daytime, while the sounds of frogs and crickets can be perceived when the darkness started to set. The smell of fresh air lingered in my nose, while the coldness of the night would surely strike my skin even in the absence of cooling technology because the installation of electricity in our place was still ongoing that time. These were some of the beautiful things I remember, not to mention about the simple way to enjoy the night with my siblings, listening to a radio powered by a battery with stories about supernatural things. We used to have our dinner at 6 pm or earlier and sleep normally not above 8:30 pm. In the midst of the night, I could only hear the sound of the insects outside, as if they were our guardians watching us in the middle of darkness.

Our house was built in the early 70s but I did not see or felt any unusual. Until one night, inside our room with my younger sister who slept deeply beside me, I woke up because I heard a sound from the door, someone twisted the knob to get in. I was confused because it was in the middle of the night and everyone was in their room, asleep.

"Who's that?" I asked since it was locked. There was no answer but the sound continued, with an interval of 10 to 15 seconds. I tapped the shoulder of my sister but she didn't wake up. I covered my mouth and my imagination started with a monster trying to get in, like the thing being mentioned in the stories. That time, I felt the goose bump. I covered my ears as I tried to go back to sleep. I did not remember how long I was in that position until I woke up the next morning.

I immediately asked my parents if they were the one in the door last night, trying to get inside the room. But, they refused. I asked the others if they did, but no one admitted. Instead, they teased me because it only exists in the story or it was just a bad dream. Well, I convinced myself that they were right, it was just a dream. Because of it, the thing happened the previous night was out of my mind.

Few weeks passed by, I was able to sleep peacefully at night with no signs of anything unusual. I was also happy because the installation of electricity was completed, it means that we don't have to rely on batteries or generator to have a light.

One day, our eldest sister who studied in Cebu came home for a vacation. Because we missed her a lot, we did not miss the chance play with her and listened our favorite drama series on the radio. That night, we asked her to sleep in our room with us. We slept in a queen size bed, so the three of us perfectly fitted and I was in the middle. I felt secure because there were three of us in the room.

"Ch'trik...Ch'trik...", it was the sound who woke me up, again, in the middle of the night. It was the same sound I heard a few weeks ago. I look at my two sisters who were sleeping beside me, wondering why it was only me who was awake.

The sound continued and suddenly, I saw a light coming from the outside. It was like someone was holding a flashlight pointed out towards the window in our room. First, it was in the lower left corner then in the other side. I wondered because the dogs did not make any sound. Then, I felt unusual in the room. I closed my eyes while holding the blanket hardly to cover my face.

The same thing happened for a couple of nights which I couldn't hold it to myself and decided to share it with my parents. While talking to them, my eldest sister interrupted. She heard the sounds too but chose not to panic. I never had an idea that she also experienced something creepy since the first night she slept in our room when she came home. She told us that someone's hand touched her feet and brushed her hair. Then I remember the first night she slept with us, I felt something cold by then. Was it only a coincidence?

Since then, I stopped listening to horror stories on the radio. Instead, after dinner and finished our school assignments, we watched any comedy show before we sleep. When our eldest sister went back to Cebu, we asked our elder brother to sleep in our room.

One weekend, it was Saturday, we went to bed early because we need to attend a mass at 4:30 am the next day. Since my brother was sleeping in a sofa-bed, I was teasing him to be vigilant since he would be our guard for the night. I slept with a warm feeling that everything would be okay because no one bothered me at night already. But I was wrong, definitely wrong because the scariest one was just about to happen.

It started with my usual alarm, the sound of the knob. That time, it was more distinct. It was like an angry person really wanted to get in. I wondered because no one was awakened by that loud noise except me. The familiar feeling of fear while looking at my sister and brother was all over my system. Then, the sounds stopped, a quite long. I was relieved while hiding under the blanket, praying. When I removed it from my face, I rolled my eyes in the surroundings. The dogs outside started to howl that added a fearful sensation down to my nerves.

A few minutes later, I noticed something black against the white curtain of the window. I kept rubbing my eyes for a thought that it was just a reflection from the light outside. But, it was not. The shadow became more distinct while kept on passing by, back and forth. That time, I was crying hard. I couldn't remember how long until I noticed that my sister was awake and started to cry. I called my brother in a soft voice, without knowing that he was awake already.

"Ssshhh...I saw it", he said. The shadow was still there passing, inside the room.

We started to call our parents attention, that time, we were crying out loud asking for anyone in the house. Then, I noticed the shadow slowly vanished and disappeared.

We heard a loud knock at the door, twisted the knob. We continued crying because no one speaks outside. The knocks continued until we heard a familiar voice, it was our caretaker and my father. My brother opened the door immediately and we went out from the room. It was already 3:30 am. We shared what happened to them and feeling relieved.

That day we realized, it was the death anniversary of our grandmother. Instead of taking it seriously, our parents teased us that she might be the unexpected visitor. But honestly, I was not convinced. Maybe but it was really scary.

It was the last time it happened and until now, it is still a big puzzle in my mind.
