I was driving home from LA with a friend. While on the freeway, in the middle of nowhere, and no cars near us, we hear a noise like a hand knocking on the driver side backseat window. There was only the two of us sitting in the front, and there was nothing in the back seats. We confirmed with each other that we both heard the noise, and that it was strange. I was very curious, and it was daytime, so I pulled over to the side to check things out. Nothing. Even a highway patrol officer stop by to check up on us. (Don't worry, we didn't get shot, even though we were non-white, it was a less divided time back then).
To this day, I cannot even imagine what could have made that knocking sound on the window. ๐ฌ
Acorns? :)
