It actually sounds like it's coming from the basement, potentially.

There's a door in their kitchen on the first floor that leads down to the basement.

And it sort of sounds like the tapping's coming from down there, maybe even coming on the backside of that door.

but they're going down the stairs and they're firing off more questions like, mom, like the questions they're asking are all over the place, but they're asking these questions and each time they're getting that three taps in response, like they're sure it's mom.

They get to the kitchen and now they've pinpointed the tapping is definitely coming from the basement.

The door is shut to the basement.

They go to the door, they open up the basement door and they're looking down into like the stereotypically, you know, terrifying basement.

It's pitch black, it's wooden creaky stairs.

They can't see anything down there.

And despite how confident they were that like, this is mom, this is where they drew the line.

They're not prepared to go all the way into the basement where it's like, that's kind of horror movie territory.

But they stood at the top of the stairs and for an hour,

they asked their mother questions.

In their mind, they're talking to their mom.

They're speaking into the basement, and they're asking all sorts of questions.

Do you miss us?

You know, sometimes they'd get like four or five taps, and they began to think that maybe that meant no, and three meant yes.

But they had this whole thing where they're like, it's mom.

It worked.

The seance worked.
