The Story:

I woke up at 3 a.m. to get some water. I heard my son’s voice coming from his room, saying, “Mom, can you turn off the light?” Without thinking, I switched it off. As I got back to bed, I realized… my son wasn’t home; he was on a camping trip. I rushed to his room and froze—it was empty. I was sure I had heard his voice, or at least someone speaking in a sleepy tone. When I told my husband, he just laughed and said it was probably all in my head, but I know what I heard. That moment still freaks me out.
