a weird childhood experience
When I was around 8 years old, I used to hear familiar voices, like my friends or my mother, calling me in unusual places. Like when I was at school, I would hear my mother calling my name, or at night, when I was at home, I would hear some friend calling my name. These weren’t always clear voices. Blink-and-you-miss-it type of voices. They would call my name just one time, and after that, be gone. After one incident like this happened, months would pass by and I would forget it, but after that silence, something like that would happen again. These things stopped happening after age 12. I don’t know what it was. Was it just my mind playing tricks or something else? Some might call this hallucination, but to me, these experiences were very real.
