It was late in the night of December 2009 around 12 AM midnight, before then my mom told me about an unknown knock that the entire community do experience every midnight, and no one knows who is responsible for it. but it is believed that it is the village god or spirit responsible for the knocking. No one dares to come out. My mom knowing am a curious person begged me not to open the door if I hear the knock. She was leaving to visit my dad in his home town just like 40mile distance. When she left, I was left with my younger sister. This happened in Nigeria, just like my mom said, at midnight a knock came on the door, kpo..kpo…kpo..my sister was scared the knock came 3 times I stood up to go check who it was responsible for the knock on the first day of my arrival to the village I live almost all my life in the city so I just came for the Christmas. My sister began to cry and beg me not to open the door I felt for her and lay down the knock stopped. The next morning people were talking about it. There and then I decided to find out who this mysterious knocker was.
The second night same incident occurred my little sister begged again I laid down again. I decided to give my sister a false promise not to open the door just for her to sleep on time to give me chance to unravel this mystery. Just as I hoped my sister was at rest believing the promise I made to her to be true. I waited that night patiently for the knocker just as usual the knock came 3 times I jumped out of my bed and opened the door only to find nobody at the door, I was stupefied I thought I was dreaming. So I went down the stairs I turned to the right and left and saw nothing just as I was about to go inside lo and behold, I saw an apparition walking down the other end of the compound it looked like a smoke, very tall I couldn’t see the head I looked at the heels of his feet cause it has the features of a man the heels weren’t touching the ground I ran after him to see his face and ask him the reason for the knock to my surprise the more I ran I couldn’t reach him there was a very big distance between me and him. In normal circumstance the distance is not something to run before reaching a person. Since I couldn’t reach him I decided to pass right in front of him through an opposite direction but before I could reach him he just disappeared into the tin air. I was so angry but nothing I could do. Since then till now no more midnight knocks again.
