About three years ago, I was sitting in my kitchen on the second floor of my house. My brother was the only other person home and he was sitting downstairs watching TV. 

While I was eating I heard a knocking at the front door. I walked down the steps to the door and i turned on the outside light to see who was there. The light showed that no one was there. I opened the door and called out to see if anyone would answer. But no one did. I went downstairs to ask my brother and to see if he was playing games on me. But he swore to me that he hadn't moved and that he had not heard a knock at the door. So I just tried to forget about it and went back upstairs. 

I was watching TV again and I heard another knock. Except this knock was on the second story window. I had friends who would come up on the deck and knock on the windows, so i wasn't really frightened until the knock sounded again. It was the set opposite the deck. There was no way that one could successfully knock on these windows without climbing a ladder and there was no tree there so it couldn't have been a branch. I got up and turned on the outside light for the backyard and saw no one and nothing that would have helped someone pull something like that. I went down to see my brother again and he denied everything. 

So I tried unsuccessfully to forget about this incident. But as I was eating popcorn at the kitchen table half an hour later I heard another knock, I screamed and jumped up. This knock had been on the other side of the kitchen wall. I know that my brother was still downstairs because I would have heard him come up the stairs and we were the only ones home. 

To this day I have no idea what happened but I do know that this was something unbelievable and was real.
