In the last two weeks or so, sometimes at night I will hear banging and stomping from the flat below ours. This usually happens around 1 am when normally the whole building is silent. It’s interesting because no one lives in that apartment. The elderly woman who occupied it since before we moved in sadly passed away very suddenly last month. She actually slipped on one of the steps in front of the building when it was wet outside, and died right in front of our place.
I wrote off the noises as my imagination the first few times since I am very much a believer of the paranormal so I am known to get overly excited about these things. That was until my boyfriend and I heard the noises this morning. He confirmed they were coming from directly below us. As a huge non-believer, he said it’s likely a window was left open in the apartment below, and that the wind is causing it to open and shut. He didn’t sound very confident though, because you could clearly hear the sounds moving around the house, not just from the wall where the window would be.
I went downstairs to try and see if there was a shadow through the window and check if there are any movement inside. However, there was no sign of life whatsoever. To make it weirder, you can see my building clearly from the playground just behind, and when I walked up there earlier, it looked like the windows in the apartment below us were fully closed.
With two person hearing it I was very sure that I am not overethinking and I really think that someone or something is in there.
What should I do the banging is really a bit too loud. I’m afraid that if i interfere too much it might come visit my home instead.
