Hey, Forbidden Forum friends!

Let’s dive into something that’s been keeping me up at night lately—a superstition that’s as creepy as it is fascinating: The Rule of Three Knocks.

The superstition goes like this: if you hear three distinct knocks at your door or window when no one is there, it’s not a prank or the wind—it’s a warning from the other side. Some say it means death is coming for someone close to you. Others believe it’s a spirit asking for permission to enter. Either way, you’re not supposed to open the door.

What makes it believable? It’s rooted in traditions from around the world:

• In Irish folklore, the Banshee is said to knock three times before death visits a family.

• Appalachian legends claim that hearing three knocks foretells a tragedy within the home.

• In some religious interpretations, the number three has divine or ominous significance, often tied to life, death, and the afterlife.

  
  

Here’s where it gets really eerie—I’ve heard modern accounts from people who swear it’s happened to them. One story I came across involved a woman who heard three slow knocks on her bedroom window late at night. She lived on the third floor, with no balcony. The next morning, she found out her grandmother had passed away in her sleep.

So, here’s the question: have you ever experienced something like this? Or do you have a family superstition that’s stuck with you over the years? Share your stories—I’ll be triple-checking my locks tonight.
