A Whisper in my Ear

I have to begin by saying that I am, I guess, confused, on the whole issue of the existence of ghosts or spirits. I am not necessarily a "believer" but I also am not narrow-minded, and who understands everything about life, while we are living or dead? It seems possible if not probable that when we die some of our energy lives on, either with those we knew in life or at a place of significance to us. We are all energy.

A few months ago I was fast asleep on a regular weekday night and woke up in the middle of the night. I couldn't really say what time it was, at a guess around 3 or 4 maybe. It was unusual for me to wake up in the middle of the night, I'm usually out cold until morning! As I turned on my side in bed facing the wall I heard as clear as anything a female voice whisper the word "WOW"! In my right ear. It was so unbelievably clear that I turned around quickly but my room was still. Of all words I don't understand why it was "WOW"! As I have said before I do not know what to make of this, but I do know that it was real for sure. I didn't sleep for the rest of the night!

If I hear someone say "WOW" now I kind of am reminded and wonder if it has any significance and if I should pay extra attention to them or what they are saying!

Omg! I was at my living room and I was all alone (this happened like 4 hours ago) and I heard a really loud whisper! Like it was right besides my ear! It didn't say wow, it said something like aooh! I don't believe in ghost but now I really consider their existance! Is my house haunted?

You know, Mauzie, there are so many things that can not be explained about ghosties. Some of the things that are heard that come from The Other Side truly make no sense whatsoever to any of us who are living. I have heard recordings of what sounds like a one sided conversation that really, if I had to take a guess at what it meant, there would be no way that I could.
I would keep this experience close to your heart and to remember it as long as you humanly can, as I feel it was simply a way for someone on The Other Side to have let their presence be known to you. I feel that once she was acknowledged (you did whip around in the bed to see who was talking to you), she felt justified and left.
Thank you.

Wow, lol.
The same thing happened to me, though not exactly like yours. My mother had told me to eat but I didn't want to. I heard her leave to the backyard and I continued on with reading the book I had in my hands. Then, in a motherly and very gentle tone, a voice says "Yes, eat!" I turned to where that voice could have come from and I hurriedly checked to see if anyone was around. Nope, not a living soul was around. Well, anyways, peace.

I'm sorry mauzie, you can't directly talk to me without suffering the dire consequences of a ban 😜 Hehe, just teasing you.

Glad you're happy to be published. And well, Martin is my real first name so I guess I lack imagination 😉 I haven't attained the status of Dark Lord yet either. Maybe I need to eat a few kittens? 😆

Hey Bam_218, thanks a mill for your suggestions! I don't know but I was definetely awake before I heard it as I didn't go back to sleep! Minor incident compared to the some of the other stories but weird! Thanks 😉

maybe the ghost was surprised that you woke up in the middle of the night, since you said that you're usually out cold. As for why the ghost was there, who knows? Maybe it was a ghost or part of a conversation in a dream you had that you remembered. Just suggestion.

Thanks KimSouthO!No,that was it nothing else ever happened from what I know of! Such a strange word to hear but was so clear. Would not tell anyone because it does sound weird! Read some of your stories too and really found them intersting. Thank you and take care

WOW, I guess that is far better than some things you could have heard. Very interesting though. I would probably have reacted exactly the same as you have, with curiousity and awe.

Do you know if anyone else in the home has had any experiences? Have you had any further?

Thanks for shaing your story with us!
God Bless!

Last message for now ChrisB, sorry if I am taking up too much of your time! You sound like you have a knowledge of what you are talking about and hope we talk again. I know exactly what you mean about some of the stories, I think that you can tell immediately whether someone is trying to write a good story or someone who is relaying something that actually happenend to them. Thank you and talk again 😊

Well Mauzie Being realistic is a very good thing. If a door closes in your house by itself you don't think its a ghost. Some people do but it can easily be explained. I had a couple of encounters myself and I always thought in a rational way. You have to find the normal possibilities that could have caused this, then if nothing turns out... Well then you know 😁! The way you explain things is the best way. You have to be sceptical but at the same time have an opened mind. I hope this doesn't sound too confusing 😁? I'm glad you like the stories here. I to like to read them although some I find to be a little "Too Paranormal" I hope you like it here and wish you all the best in becoming a senior poster. I hope to hear from you soonand take care

hehe, no your not scaring me! I find the idea of spiritual world very plausible on some levels but I'm a realist and almost find it difficult to ALLOW myself believe in such things!aaah!find these stories really intersting though! (well most of them!)

Hi Mauzie. I'm glad you sharred it with us because it might be and possibly is paranormal activity. I'm not sure but if you really think that there is no way to understand this then probably it was something paranormal. Well good thing you haven't seen anything yet But who knows. There are strange things going on everyday so maybe someday it might happen to you. I hope I'm not scaring you 😁.I hope to hear from you soon and take care

Hey ChrisB, thanks for your comment. No wasn't someone outside it was close in my ear. I'm not in any way worried about it just bothered me that night and was strange and thought I would share my only experience or what I percieve as an experience with something I can't explain.
take care and thanks.

Hi Mauzie. This might have been a spirit passing by and said a word. But this also maybe explained. Maybe something was going on out side the house? But if you are sure you heard a whisper then possibly it was spirit. But I wouldn't worry about it. I'm sure it scared you but there is nothing you should be scared of. Thanks for sharring. I hope to hear from you soon and take care
