An odd tingling runs down your spine when you're alone in the house, and suddenly someone is knocking on a window. A door knock is expected and doors tend to be opaque; someone knocking on your door isn't also looking into your house. Someone knocking on a window most likely is.
I was in the bathroom—getting ready to head out for the day—when the knocking started. Our house isn't large, so I quickly identified the window that was being knocked on. It was a little concerning because, while it isn't a second story window, it's still a bit higher than ground level. I started having Salem's Lot flashbacks. Until I saw what was really at my window...
He must have been agitated by his own reflection, because the room was dark, and he didn't seem to see me on the other side of the glass. I pulled the shade and the tapping stopped. I wonder if birds get headaches?
