My notebook went ahead of its time I bought this notebook computer in September, 2001, not long after the 911 tragedy. It is one which has to be shutdown first before turning off the power switch. The computer knows if this shutdown procedure is followed lest it does extra steps during startup. So what has a computer got to do with the paranormal? Well, during shutdown the read/write head of the hard drive makes some rapid knocking sounds, i.e., di-dit, di-di-dit, di-di-di-dit, then a short " ... safe to switch power off ... " display on the screen before the screen goes black.

Long before I even planned on buying a computer, perhaps over a year or so, I had been hearing this exact knocking sound on several different occasions almost regularly just before going to bed after staying up late at night (usually during the wee hours in the morning). The sound came from outside the window of my apartment. Every time I heard it I would wonder what it was! So what was the sound I had been hearing? Was it some similar sound made by a woodpecker, a toy, water hammer in a plumbing some place, or a lunatic knocking on wood, plastic or steel, or was it a sound from etc.? The answer is a big NO. The knocking sound is a sound like no other, made by this kind of computer only. There is nothing similar. Was it the sound from an identical or similar computer being shutdown elsewhere in the building or on the street? This is the closest possibility. However, the computer has to be no more than about 3 to 5 feet from the ears and the surrounding must be absolutely noiseless. The sound from the notebook is not so hard and loud as to be heard outside the room where the notebook is being used. Now I know for certain what I had been hearing during those wee hours in the morning long before I met my notebook ..... it was my notebook shutting down right on my desk. I never heard again the knocking sound from outside the window since I met and bought my notebook. I have caught up with my notebook and it and I are frequently up till the wee hours in the morning. Probably the time to have this occurrence on record is lagging way behind my notebook which went ahead of its time!
