Sometimes people who are in their apartment find themselves in a strange situation.

Someone knocked on the door or pressed the doorbell. The tenant goes into the hallway, looks through the peephole and… sees no one.

Perhaps some child decided to “play prank”: ring the doorbell and immediately run away.

It is possible that some person simply made a mistake and, realizing this, immediately left.

Perhaps the owner of the apartment simply imagined that the doorbell rang.

And the question arises: is it worth opening the door in such a situation? The answer is simple: no. This is evidenced by folk signs. But there is also a rational explanation.

Folk omen

According to popular belief, if you hear a bell ring and there is no one on the other side of the door, then an evil spirit wants to get into the house.

It is believed that if you open the door in this situation, negative energy will enter the apartment.

As a result, residents may face serious difficulties. It is possible that serious family problems will arise.

Rational explanation

Don't forget the simple rule: you can only open the front door if you understand who is on the landing and are sure it is safe.

If you don't see anyone through the peephole, say loudly: "Who's there?"

If there is no answer, you must not open the door, despite your curiosity. Perhaps someone wants to cheat and enter the apartment against your will.
