Taps and Scratches

In early March of 2021, my husband John was scheduled to go on a work trip to New York City.

I did not really want to stay home in my haunted ex-funeral home apartment for more than a day, so I made the decision to go to my parents home for the duration of my husbands work trip.

The day came and I said goodbye to my husband and a few hours later my brother came to pick me up.

We enjoyed our day, having lunch together and spending our time visiting.

My mother and I are both night owls, making staying up through the night a very easy task.

We stayed up until five in the morning watching television and joking around.

My father got up to go to work and my mother and I finally decided it was about time we retired to bed.

I took myself and my cat, Cosmo, to bed after saying my good nights to my mom.

As I lay in bed, I played on my phone until I became drowsy and turned my phone screen off.

Suddenly, I began to notice a strange noise coming from above my head on the wall.

I froze, listening to the sound that I realized sounded like tapping and scratching.

Thinking it was just something outside of the house, I ignored it.

It began to get louder and I turned over to check my phone for the time.

As soon as I turned my phone light on, the noises went away.

As quickly as they went away when I turned my phone on, they began again when I turned my phone off.

I would have thought this was pure coincidence, but then I turned my phone screen on once more and the sounds stopped.

I repeated this several times, and I soon realized it could simply not be explained.

Perhaps it was a bizarre coincidence, or maybe it was a paranormal entity trying to communicate with me.
