You will get confused bringing the matter here.

Find out for yourself why you need to knock or not.

When next someone dies in your community go into the room without knocking 10 time's and at different period and go in 10ntimes also knocking before you enter

If you notice nothing different at the end of your investigation then there is no WHY

As una dey say na nonsense or superstition na so I use enter one mortuary unannounced some decades ago.
Dead bodies here and there.
Some arranged erect and others horizontal.
E be like market.
But I left after some minutes after rolling out the dead body of a young man we came to bury as nobody was willing to go inside except me.
I hear am for night.
Nor be everything person dey talk.
But there are vibrations in mortuary whether you believe it or not.

Two years ago I entered the mortuary to identify my father for burial, it was not funny.

When I reached the middle of the mortuary that is when I realized there are spirit around. I lost my soul for about 10 seconds but being bold I did what I needed to do and left.

I don't understand the reason behind it and I'm curious. Google is not giving me a coherent answer.


My late grandfather's friend passed away today, being a Muslim, it's a must that he must be buried today. My grandma called me to come to our hometown ( My present location to my hometown is just 1 hour) to say goodbye to Baba (May God rest his soul).

I got there, I wanted to enter but they said I should knock before entering incase Baba is dressing up or eating embarassed embarassed. I knocked once but they said I must knock thrice undecided undecided. I know all those eating and dressing up story is sakamanje.

I would have asked someone there but the atmosphere was melanchoIic and I was in a rush to see my grandma and now I'm on my way back to Ado.


What's the real reason for knocking?

A dead body can't feel or see. It dead undecided undecided... The body is useless or else it want to be used as compost.
It's Superstitious. Do mortuary attendants knock?

You should have opened it once na; just to put the believe of knocking three times to rest.
At least those present and witnessed you opening the door will have a change of mind about such a ritual and jettison it.

You didn’t find it funny to go say goodbye to someone that is already dead, someone who cannot even hear you. But you are concerned about knocking on the door.

If you believe that he can hear you say goodbye to him even as he is dead, then there are chances that he can as well be eating or dressing up as they said.

I don’t know what is wrong with this generation of people with their woke culture.


Abeg make person hear word.

When he was alive, he'd always give me yam, fish or 200 naira whenever I visit grin grin. He said I look like his mother embarassed

And you believed that he can hear you?
But didn’t believe that he can be eating?

I don't know why people are so afraid of the dead instead of the living.Even the Bible says the dead have no conciousness not to talk of harming the living.
Nigerians and superstitious believes. That's why Africa is still in darkness grin grin grin

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

It is very easy. Next time, don't listen to their advice, just barge in and whatever your eyes sees, just accept it.

That's how my maternal grandmother's corpse was throw out through the window because she died in my father's house.

It's believed that if someone dies an in-law's house, the corpse would be thrown through the window.

Please throw more light. Please enlighten me more.
inwahiwe:
Until you are impacted by the spiritual world, your believes, religion, civilization is untested.

I never use to believe any of these things because I am so scientifically minded until they unleashed on me. Today, I'm taking spiritual matters very seriously


To attempt your question, speaking from yogic wisdom;

Life has five components/forces:

1. Component responsible for breath
2. Component responsible for warmth/heat (reason when you die, you go cold)
3. Component responsible for bouyancy(you don't feel your weight when you are alive, but the moment you die, nobody can lift you up again, it will take many hands)
4. Component responsible for preservation of the body while you are alive (you start decaying at death but can still experience growth of hair and finger nails until it withdraws)
5. Component responsible for ....(you guess it)

When you die, these components withdraw individually and at different pace

So it's possible that being clinically dead doesn't mean the process of death has completed. Reason why sometimes you can hear sounds/noise from where a dead person is laying.

Plus all kinds of energies (disembodied spirits) looking for bodies to enter. There is so much going on in a dead person

Therefore, to cut the long story short, the unseen world is sensitive to vibrations, therefore, when you knock, you produce vibrations and the number 3 is actually a code for this type of communication, which announces your presence and keeps any unwanted energies at bay(raises the vibration of the room). Otherwise, you might have contact with something whose vibration is higher than your own (what you call demonic attack/possession)

I don't have typing patience, I would have gone into more detail

If they say knock 3 times, please do.

Ask the morticians when u see them.

I have heard many versions of stories anyway.

I once had access to morgue when I worked in a hospital, witnessed quite a number of embalmment.

We never knocked for once sha, but if they say knock, o boy, better knock.
