TL;DR: Gurgaon G Block Sushant Lok 2 Builder Floor. Every few nights knocks on my bedroom door. Main door always locked from inside. Then it moved to the balcony door. Then inside my room. I left.
Ok, so this is going to get a little spooky. I am not sure what the history was of the apartment that I was living in but I have to get this out of my system.
A few months ago I rented a builder floor in G Block Sushant Lok 2, G-582, pretty close to Scottish High School in its next lane. The landlord was decent, rent was manageable for a 3 BHK, and the flat was fine so I soon moved in. It wasn't long before it started getting a little spooky, maybe 1 month in.
I used to sleep in the bedroom with the door shut, and once I was up late after midnight, it would have been about 12:30 AM when I heard 2 clear loud knocks on the door. The door is thin so the sound was clear as day. There was no one in the house outside the room and this made me curious. I got up and checked the other 2 rooms, no one, the main door was shut, checked the drawing room balcony, that was shut too, looked outside, everything was silent in the street and the park in the front. I shrugged it off thinking it would be wind to keep myself calm, though in a shut house there won't be any wind. But I was tired and I made myself believe that I must have imagined it.
It was fine for the next few days but again one night I was up late and I heard the same loud knocks. Loud as if someone knocked with their fist rather than with their fingers. Again checked all the rooms, balcony, bathrooms, everything shut. I thought that it might be wood expanding, but I was only trying to console myself. Wood expanding doesn't sound like knocks and it was a well lived in and old apartment and not a new construction.
Then I started getting a little scared, that something unexplainable maybe at play. I didn't dare ask other residents of the building lest they confirm my fears and I get sh*t scared, hence I kept it to myself. I noted that it happened every few nights only when there was silence in the house. If I am watching something or playing music, or if there is noise, I wouldn't hear the knocks. Also it didn't happen when I left the bedroom door open.
On some days I used to forget about it and used to shut the door and the knocks used to reoccur. Loud clear knocks, like someone is literally on the other side of the door. I then stopped getting out of my bed and stayed tucked in bed until morning. I even started sleeping with the light on. I knew that keeping the door open in the night stopped the knocks but I didn't dare do it thinking that whoever was on the other side would have an open invitation to come to my room while I was asleep.
One good thing was that the knocks were unpredictable, happened every few days without any particular trend so I didn't live in fear every night. Until one day things shifted a little. I heard the knock not on the bedroom door but on the balcony door. This balcony was grilled and grills so thin that not even a cat can pass through it. And there is no way to go to the balcony except from my room and the other adjoining room. I lost my sh*t. If someone was playing a prank it had gone too far. I literally shrieked that night. But there could be no one who could do this. I didn't open the balcony door because it was dark outside and the light switch for the balcony was in the other room.
This was not all, one night, I was in the bedroom on my phone, the door was partly open, the light was on, and I heard the knock, on a friggin open door! And the door was just 3-4 feet away from me! It was like someone literally knocked on the back of the door from INSIDE MY ROOM! I knew I had to pack my sh*t and leave.
I was not a believer in paranormal but I have heard that if you give them mind space and fear them, they latch on to your fears and breach the barrier and they can impact you. I left within a month a few months ago and I am so glad I did. The entity was gradually increasing in intensity and coming closer and since I was getting scared, I didn't want to let it impact me.
I didn't tell this to the landlord, nor the broker. They might know it already I guess. I also got to know that 2 of the 4 floor owners had already sold their flat soon after buying. I was in the neighborhood to MKM market a few days ago and for some reason which I don't know, I decided to check out the building from the outside. I saw that the floor was currently vacant and the balcony has a To-Let board hanging outside.
Hence, if you are looking for rent in G Block Sushant Lok 2, which a lot of people do who have kids studying in Scottish School, maybe don't rent G-582. 👀
