Two young girls who were grief-stricken at the loss of their mum from cancer were left horrified after discovering the source of "tapping" in the walls. Karen and Tina Bowen, aged nine and 15 respectively, were spending a lot of time home alone after their mother’s death as their dad, Frank Bowen, had to work two jobs to replace his wife’s income. Podcaster Mr Ballen describes how Tina told her younger sister: “Why don't we get our Ouija board out and have a séance? Let's try to communicate with mum and see if she manipulates the board and gives us a sign that she's here with us.”.
But, almost immediately after their paranormal experiment, they started hearing an eerie tapping sound coming from the basement of their home in Townsend, Massachusetts. Later that night, when Frank Bowen arrived home fro work, he was surprised to see his daughters still up and about – and listened patiently to their takes of a supernatural visitation from their late mum.
Frank put their stories down to natural grief, and a lively imagination, but the tapping continued. Mr Ballen explains: “Over the next few days, is the tapping sounds in the house would continue, and they were no longer just coming from the basement.
“They were also coming from the kitchen. They were coming sometimes from the second floor. They were coming from all over the house. But the girls were the only ones who could hear the sounds.”. After a few days, though, the girls were no longer excited by the mysterious tapping sound. They were terrified. Especially as it seemed to be no longer confined to the basement, but could be heard all over the the house.
