Knocked with his fist sounds like he knocked three times on a door. In this context, he slammed = BANGED his fist on the table.

Lena, “banged on! A table with his fist” sounds like he walked around, found a random table and banged ON it. Not too natural.

how come there's no sequence of tenses? Shouldn't it be "the ghost was back" ?
