Tap Tap Tap!!!

Location:  Tasmania, Australia

This story takes place on Bruny Island, Tasmania, Australia. It happened when I was a child around 8 years old, so 1998. I was at the family shack with my mum dad and older brother Jock. Jock and I used to share a bunk bed, with him on bottom and me on the top shelf. I used to sleep with a clip-on lamp on my right hand side.

One night I awoke to a tapping on my shoulder — fast taps… one two three. It woke me almost instantly, so I turned on the lamp to see why my brother was harassing me at this time of the night. When I looked down, he was asleep — or pretending, I thought. Growing up, we were always playing pranks on each other.

I turned off my light and lay there. One minute later, the tap started again. The same as before –fast, one two three! I turned my lamp on, again looking down at my brother, still in the same position and asleep. “Stop it!” I said, but he didn’t even smirk.

Once again, light back off, but this time the tapping was straight away, and consistent. I turned the light back on almost as quick as I could and looked back down at Jock, realising he wouldn’t have had the time to get back to his bed.

A bit freaked out, I turned off the light, but kept my hand on the switch. As soon as it went off — TAP! — straight back on… nothing around me! I turned it off again… TAP TAP TAP. This time I turned the light back on to see nothing. I leaped clean off the bunk and dashed down the hall to mum and dad’s room, where I spent the rest of the night.
