Witness account

A family of five reports repeated knocking from a sealed storage room in the evenings, and an occasional smell of smoke with no source. An elder relative states that the family believes a jinn is present in the apartment and asks that their belief be recorded as they hold it. The family has asked the Bureau not to explain it away. They are not asking for anything else.

The Bureau records this account as given. It takes no position on matters of faith.

Evidence

  • “We are not afraid. We would like it written down as we say it.”

    Family elder

  • Sound · 30s

    Knocking from the storage room, unhurried, three at a time.

Plausibility50/100

The account is recorded in the family’s own words. The Bureau takes no position on matters of faith and offers no explanation of belief. For completeness only: the building is old, with shared ventilation and pipework, and the smell of smoke may correspond to a neighbouring kitchen. These observations are not offered in place of the family’s understanding. Routed to the Director for review.
