So my girlfriend is pregnant and is due to give birth any day now and a few days ago she told me she saw a shadow child running in front of the bedroom door.
I played it off and assumed it was probably her imagination.
But just now we just heard 4 knocks on our bedroom door. There is no one else here. It sounded like a distinct human knock and it freaked us out.

What does this mean? Is this a spirit that is about to be born through our child? Is this an unrelated spiritual thing? What's going on here what do i do?

In many traditions, pregnancy/birth is seen as a "thin time" where veils between worlds may feel permeable. The knocks could symbolize:
A spirit announcing a transition (the imminent birth)
Ancestral presence acknowledging the new life
Unrelated energies drawn to heightened emotional vibrations
The "Shadow Child" Vision:
Folklore: Some cultures interpret this as a fetch or wraith—a symbolic premonition of the child's spirit testing its connection to the physical world.
Psychological Archetype: Jungians might view it as an unconscious manifestation of parental fears/anticipation.
Energy Imprint: Paranormal theories suggest intense emotions (like excitement/fear) can imprint on spaces, replaying as echoes.
The 4 Knocks:
Numerologically, 4 often symbolizes:
Foundation (a new life beginning)
Protection (in Celtic traditions, 4 directions = warding)
Transition (in some Asian cultures, 4 = death/rebirth cycles)

It's a ghost which prays on children/babies and it's excited for the newborn. Burn sage and stuff maybe invite a priest out

i like how both posts give wildy different interpretations
OP, give more details
