This took place in the small southern italian village where i grew up in. It was about 2 or 3 in the afternoon when everything shuts down and not a single person can be found on the street. We were taking a nap at my parent's house when my grandma called us all freaked out and asked if we can go over to her house immediately.

her house was an old stone villa built probably some 300 years ago. The front door was located right off the street, but to get to her apartment upstairs you had to enter the front door and walk up a narrow stairway consisting of approx 25 to 30 steps before reaching her landing where her apartment door was.

My grandma remained sharp all the way till she passed on. She always remembered to lock both doors, front door and inner door.

anyways back to the story, after she called us, my dad, my brother in law and myself drove there to see what was happening. She said she heard a loud knocking coming from the inner door. We said it's impossible cause the front door was locked, in fact she had to come down to let us in. We tried to convince her to stay at my parents' house for a while but she rejected the idea and decided to brush it off. so we jsut left and made sure both doors were locked.

later that evening, she called us again to tell us someone was knocking on her apartment door again!
