About 30 years ago when I was growing up, a good school friend of mine committed suicide in scrub land very near my place, an old Queenslander. No one knew why he did it. He was very popular in school, good looking, the girls admired him, great sense of humour. It never made sense to his family, to anyone, to any of his good mates including me. He had hung himself in the scrub. Not long after, at night while I was fast asleep, I heard tapping on the glass of my bedroom window. I'm on the top of a double bunk bed, older brother down below. I look up and see my friend smiling and staring at me through the window. A window two storeys above the ground below. I put bed covers over my head hoping it wasn't happening and I'm dreaming. The tapping continues for what seems like ages then stops and I eventually fall asleep. I tell my brother next morning and he said he heard nothing. This repeated the next night and the night after. On the third night I gathered some courage to look back at my friend, he's still smiling and gesturing with his hands to come to the window and was pointing down. I sat up petrified on my bed and shook my head motioning I'm not going anywhere. He kept smiling, looking back at me for what seemed like ages then disappeared. I cried myself to sleep and never saw him visit again. This experience I've only shared with family, recounting it now. Back then I felt it to be so real and to this day I still think it happened and it wasn't a dream, especially the loud tapping on the glass.
