I was awake, of that I’m sure. My eyes were
open, I was kind of seating, kind of lying on my back while I had my laptop
over my lap. I had turned it on only a few minutes before. So, I’m certain I
was awake, there was no other way. As I wrote on the keyboard, I realized I
could hear voices. Often, it would be someone talking by the window, on the
outside of the building. It happened all the time and it always felt as if
those people were inside my room, just chatting about something.
But this time, the voices didn’t seem to come
from outside. Actually, I was very certain that wasn’t the case because the
voices coming from below the window always had the same tone, whatever the
voice. This time, it felt as if he voices were coming from inside the building.
I could hear them increasing their volume, as if they were approaching me but
that wasn’t possible. The nearest someone not from my family,
being inside the building, had to be several meters away.
Besides, there were two closed doors and a
couple of walls to go through, so the voices shouldn’t have been come so clear.
It was as if they were clearing their throats and now the voices were just
perfect, clean and powerful. What was worst, the voices weren’t speaking
anything in particular, or at least it didn’t seem that way. What was really
awful was the fact that they started singing, like a choir. They were all male
voices and they were very potent, professional in a way.
They sang a song with no real words, only loud
sounds perfectly executed with their voices. They did it perfectly but that
seemed to me even creepier, because if they had made a mistake, I would have
known they were just people rehearsing some awful song or something. But no,
that didn’t happen. Instead, the voices kept increasing their volume. By the
end of their song, I was surprised none of my family members came to my room to
ask what was going on.
Later, much later in the day, I would learn
that no one else had heard anything like I had heard. I felt a little bit
crazy, because I didn’t think the voices had any supernatural backgrounds. I
mean, they were just voices. Yes, they were not behaving very normally, but
there was nothing that spectacular or unusual about them, except maybe the
unique weirdness of the song. They had to be coming from actual people but I
found it hard to believe that voices could be heard so clearly inside my room,
when they were apparently coming from inside the building.
There was the possibility I was mistaken.
Maybe the voices did come from outside and I just thought that wasn’t the case.
It always happens that the mind chooses a certain way and it seems impossible
that the opposite one could be true but that doesn’t mean it isn’t. Maybe some
group of men was rehearsing something near my home and the voices were carried
in some way that I don’t know how to understand. Maybe it was one of those
natural things that are complicated to explain.
I’m not the kind of person that believes in
voices from the grave or something like that. I respect the dead and everything
around them, so much so that I prefer not to go to graveyards and funeral homes
unless I absolutely have to. It’s not because of fear but because all those
rites are normally linked to a religion and I find myself feeling like a hypocrite
in the middle of all that. Besides, the people crying and that entire aura that
surrounds dead people, it’s really not for me.
In any case, none of that explains the voices
I heard. What was worse, I later remembered that I had been woken up by a sound
earlier that day. Maybe three hours before I actually woke up. The sound must
have been louder than a whisper or I wouldn’t have heard it. But I did. And
then I heard it again. It was a voice. I don’t remember what it said but it was
only one person, not a group like it would happen later. I wish I remembered
what he said… I fell asleep a few seconds after.
So I heard voices twice on the same day. The
most likely reason for all of this, besides the voices been of a natural
source, is that I may be going crazy. This may sound funny or just stupid to
many people, but I actually believe I might be going insane. It’s clearly not
normal to hear things that aren’t there. And I don’t believe in the paranormal.
Besides, ghost speaking in broad daylight with no other backup “occurrences”?
Doesn’t seem to be in line with all those things people claim about ghosts.
Maybe I am going crazy. I have reasons to and
it’s certainly not uncommon for a crazy person to hear voices. They all come
from their heads, being a certain version of themselves. They are their own
inner demons, created by their illness to torture them. Maybe that’s what I
have, maybe that explains everything. I don’t want to keep this story going
longer because there’s nothing much to say except that I’m very scared for my
mental health. Headaches are almost a daily thing and my life is not really
going anywhere. Could anyone blame me if I went insane?
Damn. Here they are again.
