All My Ghosts

Knock Knock

August 3rd, 2019. Approximately 1pm. 

Every year my family has a large picnic where the whole family gathers and eats an excessive amount of food while enjoying the company of others. 

This year, it was held at my grandparents old home that my family has been cleaning up. 

On the day, I happened to get stuck taking the last shower of everyone in the home and because the gathering started at noon, I was alone in my house. 

I finished my shower and made my way back to my bedroom where I always dry my hair and apply my makeup. 

While I do this, I always listen to music, fairly loudly might I add. 

I was sitting doing my makeup, music playing when I hear knocking. 

I glanced down at the time and I see that I am nearly an hour late to the picnic. 

Thinking they sent someone to come check on me and round me up, I laughed to myself and made my way to the front door. 

As a note, we have a wooden welcome sign on our front door that knocks against it when someone opens the door or it is exposed to wind and such. 

I hear the knocking of the sign, thinking someone had opened the screen storm door to knock on the larger inner door. 

I make my way to the door, turning the handle. 

When I open it, the sign swings, but nobody is there. 

This obviously startled me, as there was no explanation for the knocking. 

Again, this knocking was loud because I heard it over my blaring rock music. 

I still have no explanation to what I heard, but then again, paranormal is the normal here.
