One of the most frightening experiences i've had happened a few years a go when i was home alone at night

1

It was around midnight, and i was getting ready for bed

2

When i heard a loud banging on the front door

3

At first, i assumed it must be some sort of mistake or prank, but when the banging continued, i started to feel more and more scared

4

I didn't know who could possibly be knocking on my door at that time of night, since i lived in a quiet residential neighborhood

5

I tiptoed over to the door and peeked through the peephole

6

But couldn't see anyone outside

7

The knocking continued, louder and more insistent this time

8

I felt my heart rate increase as i tried to think of what to do next

9

Finally, i mustered up the courage to call police on my phone

10

As i waited for the operator to answer, the knocking suddenly stopped

11

I stayed on the line with the operator until the police arrived about ten minutes later

12

It turned out that there had been a string of burglaries in the area

13

And the police suspected that the person knocking on my door might have been a burglar trying to see if anyone was home

14

Although nothing actually happened, the experience left me incredibly scared and anxious for several days afterwards

15

Looking back on it, i realize how important it is to take safety measures seriously and never underestimate the potential danger of unexpected noises or disturbances
