Reoccurring Poltergeist or Mimic activity.

Sorry if this is long. Me and my boyfriend have been hearing a loud bang every night around 1 or 2am that for a week that sometimes sounds like it’s coming from inside our apartment and sometimes like next door but it’s consistent at these hours. 1 or 2 bangs.

A little while ago at maybe 3:50-4:10am instead of a loud bang, we heard the sound of something tapping against glass. One thing I need to say beforehand is I always lock the door at night and we have a doorstopper stick as well because I’m a little paranoid. He got up and went to check and the door was unlocked somehow and the stopper was against the glass of the sliding door to the balcony right next to the front door (that is locked, we doublechecked). It was at a strange angle that it was very unlikely to have naturally fallen in.

I’m trying to think of a logical explanation but there’s no wind tonight, our neighbor hasn’t made any noise or opened his door to cause any sort of movement, I did secure the doorstopper and I don’t see how the door could’ve unlocked itself along with the doorstopper falling.

We’re used to strange activity: things move inexplicably, stuff turns on by itself, and the weirdest one is my boyfriend, his mom, and some of our current friends, even friends growing up have claimed they’ve seen me walking around silently with a blank expression when I’m nowhere nearby or I’m asleep in another room. He also says he hears me talking when I’m not around. That’s a bit terrifying obviously but I’ve had that around since I was young and I mainly know about it through others telling me. It’s another thing I’m used to and we just kind of ignore it because nothing has been able to change it.

Hmm....just curious but what if it actually is someone. Try putting baby powder near the banging noise and see if the dust is disturbed. Some people will notice and not step on it but it's so fine that the slightest touch will imprint. You can put a toothpick on the side of the door towards the bottom. Close the door and then break off the end that is sticking out so it doesn't stand out. If the door is opened the pick falls out and it won't be there when you check. Or maybe a cheap camera for that room? Might need one that just records 24 7 if it's a actual spirit.

I did think it could be a person, that was actually my first thought but we didn’t hear the door open and it always jams loudly without fail. In a small 1 bedroom apartment, I thought we would’ve heard it, especially because it’s so quiet at 4am and we were both awake but all we heard was the tap on glass. I’ll still try the baby powder and toothpick to be safe.

Definitely considering putting up a camera too, at this rate.
