Last night around 12:30 am, I thought someone was knocking on my door. I heard it several times. Usually, I never answer the door at night.
I looked out the window to see if there was a vehicle in front and saw a flashlight shining in my window. I had this awful feeling in my gut, I thought that it was another life crisis.
I rushed downstairs and opened the inside door because I knew that the porch door was locked. "Who's knocking on my door?" I asked.
It was my neighbor watering my plants in the yard. The spray from the hose hit the side of the house and sounded like knocking. I like my neighbors, they are good people.
They scared me.

@Shivram59 It was because it was late at night and I thought someone was knocking and there was a flashlight shining in my window.

@crazyhorseladycx It always scares me when someone knocks at night. It bothers me more when they just try to open the door. It has happened a few times. I see the knob moving and that is more terrifying.

@amitkokiladitya I never do that. When there is an emergency, I am in charge. I fall apart later.

I have never had that happen before. There have been drunks trying to get in because they think it is their place and once someone dismantled my lock when I was not home. It was all hanging on a spring and I could not get my door open. I had to cut a hole in the screen. I did have a cop shining a light through my place once, but he was looking for someone else.

She was watering the plants and the husband was holding a flashlight. It just happened to beam into my window when I looked out to see if there was a vehicle. I thought someone was knocking and I wanted to see if someone came in a vehicle.
