The Tapper

Back when my mother was about 18 (she's 43 today) she was visited by what she calls "The Tapper". Every night for 3 months, someone would tap on the window of the room she was in as soon as she was alone, even with the curtains drawn. Every single night, without fail. As soon as anyone else came into the room or went outside to investigate it would stop, and no one would be outside. My grandpa and both uncles were living in the house too, this is relevant. After 3 months of this the tapping stopped. My grandpa and both uncles decided to take off fishing one night, the tapping hand't happened in 2 weeks at this point, and my mom stayed behind. The sun had just gone down and my mom was sitting in the living room reading and it happens.

She assumes it's my younger uncle because he's a joker.

"Jesse knock it off."

"Jesse it's not funny, just get inside."

She gets up from the couch and goes to the window, which still has the curtains drawn.

"Very fucking funny Jesse!" She taps on the window, through the curtain. tap tap tap tap

Instead of tapping it sounds like a hand slams against the window in response. She goes back to the couch, still convinced it's my uncle. and almost immediately the phone rings. My grandpa is calling her from the neighbors house to tell her they stopped in to say hey and the neighbors offered to help them dress the fish.

"Well take Jesse back there with you and make him stop slamming on the windows."

"Rhonda, Jesse is here."

"Oh shit."

She runs to the front door and locks it, leaving the phone off of the hook. My grandpa says they're coming over and hangs up. It takes them about a minute to run up the road from the neighbors.

When they get there they see a guy standing by the front window in the bushes. He stands up when they start screaming and takes off towards the fence. This guy looks like he's a good 7 feet tall from what my grandpa told me.

They chase him to the property line where a wooden fence separates from the next neighbors property and he jumps over the fence, which is 7 feet high, no hands, legs completely over the top. They clamber over the fence to keep chasing him, and he can't be more than 1-2 seconds ahead of the 3 of them, and he's gone. Straight up gone.

The property on that side of the fence was just dirt and grass, no trees or buildings. The neighbors house was a long distance from the fence, and nothing else was around to hide in. They never heard the tapping or saw anyone that looked like this guy again.
