The Night before my uncle died there came this loud and heavy knock to my window and when we looked out we could not see anything. My Granny believes that it was a sign and we then believed it when we heard about my uncle. There is a fairy called a wichtleins that sends 3 knocks to a person to warn them of someone dying. I strongly believe this. Now my Other Granny is dying from cancer and for the last 2 nights I have heard 3 quiet knocks. Some people believe that this means that someone is going to die in your family but not soon. I really want people to answer this. I want to know if this is true about the quiet knocks. Or if this is true about the wichtleins.
