![]() My sister is almost as close to the front door as I am, and while she doesn’t hear the knocking, she has been complaining about not sleeping well lately. More details about the knocking: it tends to happen very late at night, or early technically. During the week I’m in bed at 10 or 10:30 so I can be up for work at 6, everyone else is in bed at the same time or shortly after. On the weekends I’m up a few hours later but everyone else’s sleep schedules stay the same. When I go to bed early the knocking seems to happen at around 12 or 1, but when I’m up late it’s not till closer to 3. This makes me think that whoever is knocking is somehow trying to get MY attention, maybe they even know that I’m near enough to the door to hear them better than the rest of my family. Maybe they’re trying to wake me up or interfere with my sleep, so they wait till I’m asleep? Just an idea. The knocking is fairly quiet, another reason it might be targeted at me. (So I hear it but not anyone else.) It’s loud enough to wake me up but without filling the whole house. It doesn’t seem to follow any pattern, just a typical three or four knocks like you’d use to normally knock on a door. I usually wake up mid-knock, making me think that whoever is doing it has probably already been knocking for a few minutes before I wake up, but that’s just a guess and I really have no way of knowing. Once I’m awake it continues every couple minutes for ten or fifteen minutes, before stopping suddenly, sometimes even mid knock. I’ve tried looking out my window to see who’s out there, but whoever it is stays out of view from my window, and no way am I going to the door to see who’s there. ![]() I can see, however, that the screen door is being held open so they can knock on the wood door. It could just be some prankster, but it’s been happening for close to 3 weeks now. That seems like a lot of time and effort, especially so late at night, just to get no reaction.īefore you ask, I’m going to buy a night vision camera if it doesn’t stop soon. It’s a lot of money, but at this point it’s worth it if it helps. And yes, I have told the police, but they say there isn’t a lot they can do. They’ve sent patrol cars by a few times but they don’t see anything. Those nights the knocking comes late, but it still comes. They say they’ll continue to help however they can, but they can’t dedicate a unit to watching my house since they don’t have any evidence of what’s happening besides my testimony. If anyone has any ideas, please share them. Whoever this is seems determined to torment me, and I’m helpless to stop them. Thank you.Although they prefer to roam at night, drought conditions have altered their habits. While javelina are generally just a nuisance, they can be a threat to your pets. They have been known to attack dogs in an attempt to protect themselves and their young. Many can easily be scared away with a loud, abrupt noise should they walk onto your property. ![]() However, most people have a more difficult time scaring them away, particularly if they are not on the scene when the javelina approaches their property. ![]()
