In 1996 I moved into an apartment with a fireplace. I had just acquired two kittens, Edie & Roscoe.
Anyway, one day I was reading a book on the couch, I was the only one in the house, and the kittens were going to try to climb up the fireplace. I said Edie,Roscoe to stop them. A real menacing male voice said Edie, Roscoe back at me super sarcastic and loud. The voice sounded like it was right next to me, but again I was alone.
I stopped moving for literally 30 seconds because I was terrified and sat up and said Who said that? I heard back the same male menacing voice say Edie, Roscoe still in a really sarcastic tone but more across the room. I ran and got my neighbor, who of course found nothing and probably thought I was nuts. It was bizarre and was a huge delay between the two times the voice said it to me.
The next day I was in the shower when I heard a very loud crash. It sounded exactly as if my dresser fell over and broke all over the floor. It was so loud my cat Roscoe jumped into the shower with me and was soaking wet. My other cat was in the bathroom peering around the door into my bedroom. I came out of the bathroom to find nothing had fallen. Based on the noise I couldn't believe it!!
From that time on lights flashed off and on while I was sleeping, I would hear men and women talking in the other room and find nobody even though they would not stop talking, wind would rush through the room with nothing open and I would here what sounded like someone getting in and out of my bed all the time!! I would elaborate more, but this is getting too long.
Scared the heck out of me! Although I would get this feeling that the voices and so forth, except for the first one, were real friendly and were not going to hurt me.
I hope I didn't ramble to long, but it was very strange.
