Early this morning I woke up for some unknown reason, and lay there, trying to return to sleep.
A few minutes later, three knocks happened in quick succession. The sound had an "echo" quality to it, so I knew it came from the foyer, which has hardwood floors and is open to the second floor above.
I thought that maybe it might have been Jack, my larger dog, dreaming and tapping his tail on the floor, but the taps were too quick for that.
I then thought of Bobby, my Jack Russell Terrier, and how he barks furiously whenever someone knocks on the front door, or any door inside the house, or even the dinner table. So... why didn't he bark? Did he not hear the noise?
I saw a Ghost Hunters episode a few weeks ago where there were two investigators, only feet apart. One heard a voice, and even captured that voice on a recorder, and the other investigator, only feet away in another room, separated only by an open doorway, heard nothing. Very strange. Could this phenomenon be occurring with me and the dogs? Could whomever made the tapping sounds enable only my ears to hear it, and not the dogs?

I actually saw that episode, pretty weird.
I lived in a haunted house for 6 years in Berkeley. I was not aware it was haunted when I experienced the same 'three knock' experience.
I had invited my 11 year old daughter's friend and her friend's mother for dinner. We sat down to eat in the front room of the very old home with hardwood floors when we heard three knocks on the floor directly under my daughter's feet. We all accused each other of making the sound but eventually shrugged our shoulders. The other mother, however, heard nothing.
Within 4 or 5 minutes, the three of us heard the exact same knock again and the girls became terrified because we knew it had not been any of us. The mother and I tried to calm them down and explained it was most likely an animal underneath the house. Once again, the mother did not hear the sound.
I told the girls to calm down and said that if it were to happen again we would leave the house.
Indeed, it happened a third time. Again, the mother did not hear it. The girls were hysterical and ran out of the home. I took a brief glance around and quickly gathered my keys and purse but I was frightened as well. We spent the night at their house. I called a friend who immediately came by and inspected underneath the home while I waited outside. Nothing was found.
This was the beginning of a very stange, interesting, draining and sometimes frightening experience in my first haunted house.
Here is a link to one of my video's of a ghost in my daughter's room.
