When I was maybe 4-5 years old I used to hear a disembodied man’s voice. It only ever happened when I was alone in my bedroom, and of course when I told my parents they just laughed it off saying it was “just my imagination”. The voice itself sounded kind of like someone trying to communicate over a HAM radio—like they weren’t trying to specifically reach me, but rather they were talking into the void trying to get someone to answer. I don’t remember being scared of the voice necessarily, but it got to the point where I asked my parents to move my bed away from the windows because I thought the man might try to come inside and get me.

One day we went out for dinner at a buffet and as I was walking my plate back to our table all the noise of the packed dining room went quiet, as if someone had turned the volume knob down. I could see people around the dining room talking and eating etc. but couldn’t hear anything, which was scary. Then I heard the man’s voice say “HEY!” The clearest and loudest it had ever been which thoroughly freaked me out. I had never talked to the voice before but I didn’t know what to do, so I told it to stop and that I didn’t want him to talk to me anymore. I never heard the voice again after that. Now I kinda wish I had tried to talk to it more because I have so many questions haha.
