20th November
Home-
It was 11 PM and I was studying at my study table when I heard a little whisper like someone just breathed in my ear.
I straightened up and gulped. I didn’t dare to turn around. I felt goosebumps all over my body.
I turned my head around slowly. No one was there.
I did a quick search on my phone about hearing whispers. It is said that the condition is called Auditory hallucinations which happen due to traumatic experiences. Another result which somehow gave me creeps when I read it was-
'Voices as you fall asleep or wake up – these are to do with your brain being partly in a dreaming state. The voice might call your name or say something brief. You might also see strange things or misinterpret things you can see. These experiences usually stop as soon as you are fully awake.'
It had nothing to do with being half asleep or lack of sleep. I was pretty much awake at that moment. I didn’t hear my name or see things but it was just creepy.
I didn’t want my condition to worsen so I took an ear-swab and started digging up my ear. I thought it was because my ear wasn’t clean.
I had to make those sounds stop.
I ignored the pain I was going through and kept cleaning my ear until It started bleeding.
