An unexpected knock on the window, especially late in the evening or at night, can be very scary or make you nervous. Our ancestors noticed that even in cases where this sound can be explained by completely trivial reasons, something good rarely happens.

Why is there a knock on the window

Most will accept a knock on the window as a bad sign, but you should not despair. It is important to pay attention to the details that accompany this event, then you can predict the fate more accurately and protect yourself from unpleasant consequences.

Prepare for Trouble

One of the most common gloomy beliefs: knocking on the window at night or in the evening portends a serious illness, death or serious trouble for the household.

The most disturbing and frightening scenario is to go to the window and find that there is no one behind it. In this regard, ancient beliefs say that someone's soul from the other world visited the house to warn that something bad will happen soon. Usually this was associated with receiving bad news from relatives and friends.

If there is bad weather outside the window and it is raining, then a strong and sharp knock, unlike drops hitting glass, means that in the near future you should not plan any serious events - they will be doomed to failure.

The interpretation of signs also depends on the nature of the sound:

• if the knock is sharp and jerky, one should expect financial difficulties, problems at work, troubles associated with the loss of money;
• when the sounds are more like gnashing or scratching, this promises an early conflict with loved ones, a major quarrel, problems in communication;
• the clinking of glass is a sign of unexpected news that will report some major trouble.

Often the knocking is caused by birds that hit the glass. Despite the fact that such a reason for the sounds does not carry any mystical overtones, there is still a sign in this regard. Much depends on which bird knocked on the window. A crow, jackdaw or other large bird portends illness or death, a dove is the soul of the deceased, who flew in to warn relatives of impending hardships.

If a knock is heard regularly, every day at the same time, it means that soon uninvited guests will appear in the house, whom no one will be happy about.

One of the most common explanations is that evil spirits are knocking on the window. It can be the spirits of the dead, a poltergeist, or unfriendly entities from the subtle world. As a rule, these visits do not end in anything good. By accidentally opening a window at such a moment, you can let evil spirits into the house, and then its intrigues will no longer be avoided.

good omens

There are not many positive interpretations of this sign, but they also exist and are associated with some types of birds:

• It is believed that tit knocking on glass symbolizes some event that will happen very soon and lead to positive changes. If you happened to notice a guest on the windowsill, you can quietly ask fate for favors - then luck will not pass by.
• The second messenger of good news - wagtail. If she knocks on the window, you can expect fun, meeting old friends or a big holiday.

Interpretations by time of day

The explanation for what is happening may vary depending on what time of day an unpleasant knock is heard.

1. If a knock on the glass is heard in the morning- this indicates that the soul from the world of the dead descended to earth to visit their relatives.
2. When something knocks on the window during the day- it is better to be vigilant, others are plotting something and plotting.
3. The sound of glass in the evening- the worst sign, it indicates an imminent illness and death of one of the household. To avoid trouble, in no case should you approach the window or open it.
4. When a knock is heard at night- this indicates that an otherworldly entity or invisible spirit is trying to get into the house.

Separately, they note a knock on the windows before major church holidays. Hearing him, you must definitely go to church and order a service for deceased relatives in order to protect yourself from their wrath.

Household causes of knocking

An unexpected and sudden knock on glass is frightening even in daylight, however, it does not always make sense to look for mysticism in this: it is quite possible that there are understandable reasons.

For those who live on the ground floor, the explanation is the simplest - someone came to visit and is trying to notify the owners of his arrival. Sometimes children can be naughty. In these cases, there is no point in worrying - such events do not carry anything bad.

Residents of high-rise buildings may hear a knock from nearby trees hitting the glass, especially in strong winds. If the owners are too impressionable and overreact to such sounds, it is best to file unsuccessfully growing branches to avoid unnecessary stress.

How to protect yourself from evil spirits

According to the beliefs of our ancestors, any negative impact from one or another bad omen can be avoided or minimized. There are a few simple rules for this.

If the knock was heard for the first time, you can read the prayer "Our Father" or any passage from the Holy Scriptures. The window sill is recommended to be sprinkled with holy water.

Windows should remain closed, especially if it is at night. In the event that a knock is heard repeatedly, it makes sense to contact a priest in order to bless a house or apartment.

To scare away evil spirits or evil spirits, amulets and talismans are hung on the windows. For example, the Japanese stick pieces of paper with passages from sacred texts on the jambs, and the Orthodox hang an image of a cross on windows and doors.

There is no need to be scared in advance if there is a sudden knock on the window. Many psychologists have proven that troubles happen to those who internally set themselves up for them to happen. Therefore, it is very important to maintain an optimistic attitude and good spirits, then troubles will bypass.

That year, Vadim and Irina decided to break away to the fullest. Both he and she had families, but, in spite of everything, for several months they maintained a love affair, that is, they were lovers. There is nothing unusual in this, but it sounds rather trivial. Many people who have tied the knot are engaged in similar pleasures. And the reason for this craze is that both men and women require diversity. Agree, in any performance there is an intermission, and after it the performance continues. Here is such another intermission and Vadim and Irina decided to arrange for themselves.

Only this time, the lovers decided not to limit themselves to a hotel room. They went to a country house that belonged to Vadim's brother. They came up with urgent business trips for their halves and waved 80 km from the city.

The house was large, two-storied and stood in the woods. A narrow road track led to it, winding through a forest thicket and fairly overgrown with grass, since the owner of the house was extremely rare in his possessions. But from the outside, the building looked quite decent and well-groomed. The same was observed inside the house. Order reigned everywhere, there was furniture in the rooms and there was even a supply of food.

This building was so far in the forest that no company of homeless people could reach it. In general, only a narrow circle of relatives knew about the house, and therefore no one could disturb the couple in this quiet, cozy place, perfect for secret love pleasures.

It is quite clear what Vadim and Irina did when they were alone, away from people. But we will skip these boring scenes and immediately move on to the main thing. It happened in the first hour of the night, when the couple in love finally opened their arms and fainted exhaustedly on the damp sheets.

A man and a woman were in a room on the second floor. Since the forest stretched around, they did not pull the window with a curtain. And suddenly there was a loud demanding knock on the window. It was about 4 meters to the ground, and Vadim and Irina jumped up on the bed in fright. Not a single person could knock on the window, since there were no balconies in the house, the nearest tree was at a distance of 10 meters, and the ladder lay locked in the barn.

The room was in semi-darkness; To do this, Vadim specifically replaced a powerful 100-watt light bulb with a 20-watt one. But behind the dark window it was still impossible to make out anything. The man springy jumped out of bed, turned off the light and cautiously approached the window. He tried to make out at least something behind the glass surface in the faint light of the growing moon.

But behind the glass, emptiness and night reigned. Then Vadim opened the window and looked out. A faint, cool night breeze blew across his face. Somewhere far away, an owl hooted several times. There was no ladder or other device under the window. The man did not see any signs of people at all. But someone knocked on the window, and only a man could do such a thing.

Closing the window, Vadim returned to the bed, lay down next to Irina and said that he did not understand anything. His voice sounded confused. But gradually the couple calmed down. In nature, many different inexplicable phenomena happen, however, then it turns out that they are very explainable. This case could well be attributed to this category.

Irina and Vadim clung to each other and began to sink into a pleasant slumber. And suddenly, again there was a strong demanding knock on the window. The lovers jumped as if stung. Vadim carefully, on tiptoe, approached the glass surface and tried to see what was happening on the street. Then, emboldened, he opened the window and looked out.

Again he saw nothing but the nighttime forest peace. The dim moon sparingly illuminated the earth, not far away rose like a wall, the dark bulk of the forest. It was empty around the house: no people, no devices that could lift a person to the window of the 2nd floor. Nevertheless, Vadim decided to go outside and go around the perimeter of the house.

The man dressed quickly, trying to calm the frightened Irina at the same time, and went down to the first floor. There he took a deep breath and resolutely opened the front door. I went out to the porch, looked around, but found nothing suspicious. Vadim walked around the house, freezing at every sound, however, he did not see any strangers. It was safe to say that there was no one near the building.

Returning to Irina, Vadim again tried to calm her down, as the knocks frightened the woman very much. Having toiled like this for about 30 minutes, the lovers again tried to fall asleep. However, they had just begun to fall asleep, as again someone demandingly knocked on the window. After that, there was no time for sleep. The couple sat in the room until dawn, shuddering at every rustle.

When the first rays of the sun touched the ground, Vadim left the house and looked around. He looked towards the forest and suddenly he was seized by an inexplicable feeling of anxiety. The man felt like someone was watching him. At the same time, the one who watched had a very strong energy. Vadim's skin felt someone else's gaze on him, and goosebumps ran through his body.

Suddenly, the man saw that some almost transparent 2-meter silhouette was standing near the nearest trees. He began to walk slowly along the trees, and the grass lay beneath him as if he had been stepped on. This silhouette slowly passed in front of Vadim's eyes for about 10 meters, and then turned into the forest and disappeared.

It is not difficult to guess that the couple immediately got ready and left the house in the forest. The intermission turned out to be restless and even creepy, and the fault was that someone knocked on the window. Vadim did not find an explanation for this phenomenon, and Irina did not bother her head with this problem at all. By the way, after an unsuccessful trip, the lovers broke up; she had a painfully depressing effect on them and beat off any desire to see each other in the future.

The story for the site was prepared by Leonid Starikov

Not only people knock on windows and doors. Sometimes the culprits of such a sound are tree branches or entities of the other world. When a person clearly hears a knock and does not find out who or what is producing it, they say that trouble has come to the house.

However, this is not quite true. A knock on the window during the day is interpreted as a warning about receiving news from afar. It may be the result of the leprosy of neighboring children or a bored brownie.
