The Midnight Knock

It was a cold winter night in our old family house in the village. I was just 14. The electricity had gone out, and the entire house was quiet, wrapped in the kind of stillness that makes your skin crawl.

Suddenly, I heard a knock.

Three soft, slow knocks.
Tok... Tok... Tok...
Right at our wooden front door.

Everyone else was asleep. I thought maybe it was a dream. But the sound was so real, it pulled me out of bed like a magnet.

I opened the door, heart pounding in my chest.

There was no one there.
But lying on the doormat was something that made my blood run cold—
My grandfather’s old prayer cap.

The same one he was buried with nearly two years ago.

The Cap That Shouldn't Exist

I picked up the cap with trembling hands. It smelled like him… that warm, musky scent I remembered from when he used to hold me close.

I ran to my mother’s room and woke her up, tears in my eyes. When she saw the cap, she froze.

"Where did you find this?" she asked with a voice that didn’t sound like hers.

I pointed to the front door. She held the cap to her chest and started crying.

That was the beginning.

Signs We Couldn't Ignore

The next morning, strange things started happening.

The wall clock in the hallway stopped ticking—at exactly 3:33 AM, the time of the knock.

My younger brother, only 6, started whispering names in his sleep. One night, I heard him say: “Abba Jaan... Don’t go yet.”

We found one of my grandfather’s old photo albums lying open in the middle of the living room. The photo it showed? Him holding me as a baby. Smiling. Like he never left.


We hadn’t seen that album in years.

The Hidden Letter

Two days later, I decided to clean the attic with my cousin. In a dusty old trunk, we found something wrapped in a cloth—
A sealed envelope with my mother's name written on it.

The handwriting was definitely my grandfather’s.

We brought it downstairs. My mother’s hands shook as she opened it. Inside was a handwritten letter dated two weeks before his death.

His words were simple, yet chilling:

> "Dear daughter, if you ever find this, it means my spirit is restless. Take care of Afaq. He is chosen. The gift runs in his blood. Don't ignore the signs. I will try to guide him. Do not fear."



We all sat in silence after reading it. My mother cried for hours. She believed it was real. So did I.

The Gift I Didn’t Understand

Since that night, my life has never been the same. I began having dreams—vivid, terrifying, and sometimes strangely peaceful.

In one dream, my grandfather stood by the river, pointing to a path made of light.
In another, he sat beside me, telling me about people who needed help—souls who were lost.

At first, I thought I was going crazy.

But then… it got real.

The Woman in the White Shawl

One day, while walking home from school, I passed the old graveyard near our village. I saw an old woman sitting near a grave, crying.

No one else saw her. I asked a nearby shopkeeper, “Who is that woman?”

He looked confused.

“What woman?”

When I described her, his face changed.

“You just described Bibi Asma. She died five years ago.”

I never walked that road again.

I Still Hear the Knock

Every year, on the same night, at the same time, I hear the knock again.
Tok… Tok… Tok…

I don’t open the door anymore.

But I say a prayer. And I leave his favorite tea by the doorstep.

In the morning, the cup is always empty.

👁️ Was It Real? Or Just My Imagination?

Some say I’m dreaming. Some say it’s trauma.
But I know what I’ve seen.
I know what I’ve felt.
And I believe my grandfather came back — not to haunt me, but to warn me, to guide me, and maybe… to pass something on.
