He just is like, my kids are coping with a terrible tragedy and if they wanna do that, that seems harmless enough.

So he goes to bed.

Over the next few days, the tapping sounds would continue, except they would only be heard by the girls.

Frank would never hear the tapping sound.

The girls would, you know, they'd hear it coming from the basement, they'd call their dad, he'd listen, and they wouldn't, there'd be no more taps.

It was like they would disappear when Frank showed up.

But oddly enough, the tapping was no longer just happening at night and just in the basement.

The tapping was sort of happening all over the house.

It would happen outside the front door, it was in the kitchen, it was in the girls' bedrooms, it was everywhere.

It was like the tapping was, it was always that tap, tap, tap when they were talking to it, but it was like all over the house.

But again, every time they'd hear it, Frank wouldn't be privy to it, he couldn't hear it.

Frank's still telling himself that this is a relatively healthy coping mechanism, that it's not that big of a deal.

But

What ended up happening after about three days is the girls, they had convinced themselves that this is mom, right?

This is a good thing.

Well, by the third day post-seance, when the tapping is happening a lot, the tapping had sort of migrated primarily to the girls' bedrooms.

And it was also happening mostly at night now.

So by the third day, it's sort of like all the tapping is happening in their bedrooms.

and it's namely under their bed.

Like they would hear the sound underneath their bed.
