Reports of 'knocking' at Suzaki Daisan Housing rose from the previously reported 36 to 37. The latest occurred in a third-floor unit in the early hours of the 23rd, following the first floor on the 21st and the second floor on the 22nd as the third report of the 'second loop,' again tracing the same order as the first. The management association says, 'Three in a row matching the order is still, in our view, within the range of coincidence.'

Reports of "knocking" at Suzaki Daisan Housing rose from the previously reported 36 to 37. The latest occurred in a third-floor unit in the early hours of the 23rd — the third report of the "second loop" that began on the first floor on the 21st. Both the first and second loops have followed the same order, first floor to second to third, and the management association said, "Three in a row matching the order is, admittedly, the most pattern-like sequence we've seen so far," while adding, "we still consider it within the range of coincidence. We can't say more until we see a fourth and fifth report."

As previously reported, a covert patrol officer from the Patrol Guild's Tokei chapter has been joining nighttime checks; on the 23rd the officer was stationed one floor away, on the second floor, from the third-floor report. Even so, nothing was detected again this time, with no unusual sound or figure confirmed around the time of the report. The permeation index remained at normal levels, and no change in health effects has been reported.

The management association renewed its call for residents to follow the "do not respond" guidance, and said it is watching closely to see whether the next report comes from the fourth floor. The truth of the matter remains unresolved, held in reserve as before.

    Reports of 'knocking' at Suzaki Daisan Housing rose from the previously reported 35 to 36. The second loop, which began on the first floor on the 21st, moved to a second-floor unit in the early hours of the 22nd, tracing the same order as the first loop. The management association says, 'It looks like it's following the same sequence, but two reports aren't enough to say for sure.'

    Suzaki 'Knocking' Reaches 35 — After a Full Circuit of All Floors, It Starts Over on the First

    Reports of 'knocking' at Suzaki Third Housing have risen from a previously reported 34 to 35. Just a day after it was confirmed that every floor from the first to the fifth had received at least one report, the early hours of the 21st brought a report back on the first floor. The management association says, 'It looks like a full circuit that's returned to where it started, but we can't say that's a real pattern.' As before, the truth of the matter remains unresolved.
