Real Ghost Stories

Hearing Voices

I had the following experience four or five weeks back. I don't really have any idea as to what triggered those events so any help would be greatly appreciated. Let me start by saying that I am a skeptic, however the events of the past weeks have done much to shake my conviction. My story is rather unspectacular and I'm not much of a writer but I will try to describe the events as best as I can.

I live with my mum and sister in a two storied bungalow in a suburb near Mumbai (Bombay) and both of them were not at home when I had this weird thing happen to me. I was on the top floor using my computer, no scary movie or anything remotely connected to paranormal (playing Bon Jovi songs) when I suddenly heard my mom shout "Devya, stop that infernal racket, lower the volume". Trying to be obedient I immediately lowered the volume. It suddenly struck me that my mom wasn't home! I was all alone and I definitely heard Mom call out, I thought maybe I was having auditory hallucinations and kept the knowledge to myself.

Fast forward to six days, it was Monday, my mom and sis were at work, I was at home because I had decided to skip school and study for an upcoming test with my friend. While we were studying (or rather chatting away) we heard Mom say "Study a bit, it won't hurt you" and laugh in a jovial way. Both of us had heard it, it wasn't any hallucination and I hadn't told about the previous experience to him so it wasn't imagination running wild either.

He said that this is due to elementals. I find it hard to believe as this has not happened before and we have been living the same house even before I was born. He told me about this excellent site where I could post my experience and read other experiences.
