  Textbelege und Katalog

  E402 is “Mysterious ghostlike noises heard,” with song, animal cries and footsteps as examples. A violent, unexplained knock occurs within the supernatural revenge episode, but the source does not identify its producer; the broad noise motif is possible. The narrower E402.1.5 requires an invisible ghost making the knock, which is not independently stated.
