When my parents divorced, my Dad stayed in the new house he had built, and my mother and step-father bought a house in town (which is a very small, old town btw) from a guy that they had worked with. It was built in the 30's or 40's. When we first moved in, he had told us that his wife had someone touch her on the shoulder, but when she turned around no one was there. We thought it was pure BS and paid no mind to it, but shortly afterwards our dogs that stay in the house would run and chase something that wasn't there. They would literally stand looking at a random corner or doorway as if someone was standing there and bark excessively. After a while everything stopped and they would rarely ever do it. Until, the other night.

I was sitting at my desk, with my TV off, had earphones in my ears with music was playing, when I heard my name called by what sounding like a woman. I pulled my earphones out and turned off the music before my name was called again. At this point, I was very aggravated after asking, 'what' a hundred times without getting an answer. Then, I heard it again a couple minutes later. This time, I opened my door to see all the lights shut off, hearing my brother snoring, and my stepdad snoring downstairs. I was slightly pissed, so I stormed into my mother's room asking her what she wanted and why she was saying my name over and over again after I had answered her. She was reading a book and looked up all shocked and said, 'Honey, I haven't said a word. What are you talking about?' I asked her how she didn't hear anything and she asked what had happened. I told her and she got really quiet and she said something had happened to her earlier that night. She said she was cooking at the stove, when she heard someone (a man or man-sounding thing) saying, 'Mom.' behind her. So, she turned to see no one there. She thought it was my brother so she walked in the den to see if it was him and he had been in there the entire time. We never found the source of the voices.
