I lived in these apartments 27 first. I didn’t really believe in anything but my son started talking about a handy man walking in the house and shadow man. It wasn’t anything serious or frequent but we moved into the neighboring apartment 25 and it kicked up. Ridgebrook, is built on slave cemetery land, and in general just has alot of bad energy and deaths on the land. Apartment 25, my son still saw the handy man only now he informed me shadow man would scratch his window and stand in his bedroom. I let him sleep with me for a while until he felt comfortable and then he slept in his room. We got a dog because it made us more comfortable and he confirmed it was real. He’d growl in our bathroom or at our couch constantly and when the bangs happened he’d bark too. Things escalated one night when at 2:53 there were 3 bangs on his window and he ran in my room. The next day we red brick dusted our home (which he didn’t know about) and he told me shadow man was pissed he couldn’t come in anymore. It died down for a while and then when I started doing meditation and practicing things got more intense. I had spirits follow me in from my work or the back playground and they’d be in that weird moment before you wake up. I started not even realizing I was having visions or was asleep until these spirits would pop up. We still stayed protected though and really it was just them passing through. Fast forward to a few months before we move, the knocking on windows would pick up. On our high windows unreachable windows. Always in 3s. And generally only me or my son or both would hear it even with other people present. And then our neighbor died next door and immediately after that it was just an uncomfortable energy. The final weeks there were weird. And on one of our last nights there I was at work and my son and ex called me frantically saying there were 3 loud bangs on the door and high window at the same time. It was the first time anyone besides me or my son had heard it also. It was terrifying and if I hadn’t protected my home, idk what energy or entity I would of lived with.
