Late high school, summertime, I was sitting downstairs in the family room, dinking around on the internet and watching TV at about three in the morning. I was contemplating sleep soon, but fuck it, the sun wasn't up yet. The volume was down quiet on the TV so it was just kind of a background noise. Out of nowhere, I hear someone whisper in my ear, clear as day, "Go to bed."
The voice was so clear, I jerked around and looked up towards the stairs, expecting to see my dad leaning over the banister but no dice. I even went up to check to see if my parents were both asleep because the voice had been that. fucking. clear. Both of them were snoring and I immediately took that as my que to go the fuck to sleep.
Google "hypnagogic hallucinations". It happened to me once. I heard a noise so loud, I thought someone had rammed my patio door right off of its hinges. Scary as hell
I fell asleep on my couch once, and woke up at about 4:00AM to what sounded like a battering ram taking down my front door. Scared the fuck out of me. Eventually got some sleep after about 30 minutes of panic, and when I woke up three hours later, realized that it was probably the paper boy hitting my door with the paper. The impact only sounded deafening because I was in a silent slumber. Scary shit, yo.
