The narrator whispers "Lenore" into  the hallway.

The narrator goes to open the window.

The raven comes in and perches  above the narrator's door.

The narrator questions whether the bird  is a real bird or a supernatural bird.

Explanation:

The unnamed narrator is first alone in his house reading by the fire.

After first ignoring a knock, he checks the door calling for Lenore´s name into the hallway, to no answer. He later hears tapping in the window, and opens it, allowing a Raven to fly inside and settle on top of a statue above the door. By then, the speaker begins to question his own sanity.
