People Who Hear Their Names Called at Night (morocconightmares.blogspot.com)

Last night, I clearly heard my name whispered in the darkness.

I wasn’t asleep… and no one was there.

Many people around the world report the same experience:

hearing their name called at night, softly, from nowhere.

Some believe it’s a psychological trick of the brain.

Others say it’s something far darker — spirits, shadows, or entities that only appear when the world is silent.

What makes it truly terrifying is that once it happens, it never feels like it was just imagination.

Have you ever heard your name when no one was around ?

Happened to me once when I was a teen. I heard my mom calling from downstairs. I was home alone.

In my country, people say that if you hear someone calling your name and you don’t know where the voice is coming from, you should never respond

I often wonder—are these experiences something supernatural, or just tricks of the subconscious mind

Well one of those is based in reality.

Exactly. That’s precisely the conclusion I came to as well
