MY NOTEBOOK WENT AHEAD OF ITS TIME!!
-
I bought this notebook computer in September, 2001. 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, and then a short "IT IS NOW SAFE TO SWITCH YOUR COMPUTER 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 with my books 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, but it could not have been because the sound from the notebook is only audible within three to five feet from the computer in an absolutely quiet surroundings. The other apartments in the building and the street are several feet away from my window and, needless to mention, the rooms are sealed in storm windows and acoustic insulations.
Since I met and bought my notebook computer, I never heard again the knocking sound from outside the window. Nowadays I am busy almost every night with this laptop till the wee hours in the morning. When I shut it down, it makes the unique knocking sound that I had been hearing even before I bought this computer.
Now I know for certain what I had been hearing during those wee hours in the morning long before I met this notebook..... It was this notebook making those weird sounds while shutting down somewhere. Probably this notebook knew I was going to own it.
The time to have this occurrence on record is lagging way behind my notebook which went ahead of its time! -
