those three knocks are to notify baba’s spirit that someone is about to enter, else you see what you ought not to see, some spirits are stubborn. It’s mostly needed at 12noon or 12am at the morgue. 1 Like 2 Shares |

I think its just their believe. And if you go against it to show you are civilized, they will show you pepper, with their witchcrafts and Voodoo. Hence ,the fear and the reason why people follow the knock or you collect slap rule.. |

well knocking 3 times is asking for permission for the doors of hell to open up as you are going in to meet the dead. there is nothing wrong in that but on the way out make sure you knock 4 times before going out or else you will not be coming out of there with your full soul. some of it would be lost. you will come out half the man you were . you would emerge a walking dead . coming out of there after knocking 4 times is Resurrection from the dead 2 Likes 1 Share

U could have knocked once or not at all. At least, u could have found out or broken lies. Or simply go to a place where they keep dead bodies and don't knock. This is how u do experiment. People may learn from u 5 Likes 1 Share |

favour32: Experienced same thing in the night too. We took my father's body to the mortuary. My brother was afraid to enter so I went in alone. But before I did, I told the attendants that I'm pressed. They asked me to go beside the mortuary and urinate. I asked them if it's safe to do so and they said no problem. Well, I go there go titrate o That night I hear am. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Dorwadora:From what I've heard, The first knock is to alert them, Incase they might be doing their thing, The second knock is for them to arrange themselves back to their dead state, The third knock is you saying, I'm coming in, atleast you won't catch them unaware if the above was done. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Dorwadora:. Traditionally,Africans believe that if yiu don't knock the dead person may be awake by the time you enter doing something but if you knock he will quickly return to his dead position. Religiously we believe the dead know nothing again! 2 Likes 1 Share |

Oga, Mr man, nwanne obey simply rule and stop asking useless question, too know kills easily you hear. If those things daze you a slap for disrespecting them for not knocking before you enter their space I swear to God your ear will never work again till you die. If you like listen to those who claimed everything is fake or superstitious I had told them if they believe jazz is fake or superstitious let them go to Ijebu Igbo and identify a herbalist then slap him and still tell him he can't do anything and let's see if jazz exist or not. Listen is better than sacrifice. 11 Likes 1 Share |

What you believe in becloud your sense of reasoning.. I will enter there without knocking and nothing will happen.. but because u belief in it ur mind will be restless.. that's why an atheist will tell a dreaded occult man that he can't do anything why? he believes he can't and he will never hurt him.. we imprison our mind in what we believe.when we stop and call it ordinary, ordinary it shall remain. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Around 98, my aunt died. Two nights after her death, a crazy wind visited our house. Even as a kid my instincts told me what was playing that night wasn't ordinary. The following morning, my Mum told her other siblings that this my aunt came in her sleep and asked her not grieve nor worry. That she is in a better place but she should do her best to take care of her only child. Few years later, a close relative told us he saw her in Ghana and they talked. Only for him to return to Nigeria and hear that she had been dead before the encounter he had with her. Now tell me, is that the kind of entity you want to barge in on? Respect yourself oo.
