The shouting in your ear.... That's called exploding head syndrome, had the same thing with someone shouting my name in my ear really loudly as i drifted off.
The pub i work in is meant to be haunted, often think someone is in the room with you. Weirdest thing was a shot measure jumping about 3 foot from the back of the bar with no one anywhere near it.
We were lying in bed one night.
"Meow!" said our cat...
....six hours after we'd had her put down at the vets....
They did not call my name but rather I heard them say "... get up ...", or loud "Hey!" ... 😆jakehinton - Member

Animal do come back for a visit to say the last goodbye. 😛
Unless you are expecting someone trying to do you harm.
There you go.
Last November in the Lake District driving from hawkeshead to coniston late evening and going down the winding narrow roads. I drive an old CRV so quite high up another vehicle coming up so braked sharpish and pulled in to let him pass. Said to wife shit nearly hit that bloke. She Said what bloke. Told her when I stopped there was a face in the passenger window could even describe hat he was wearing thought I could have hit him. She hadn't seen anyone and it was pitch black outside. You would have thought anyone walking would have a torch or high viz on. Didn't get out the car but backed up the road a bit so I could get a good look. All I could see was stone wall no where for anyone to disappear to. I've encountered mountain bikers out at that time before but there usually lit up like a Christmas tree. I'm not easily fazed but it creeped me out a bit I said to misus that it must have been mine or her reflection. Wife suggested a sheep ( it would have needed to be a bloody tall sheep)
The question is why are you spooked if you don't believe in such thing?
I mean common sense suggests that if you don't believe in such thing, no amount of sounds etc would spook you. Unless you are expecting someone trying to do you harm.
It's the startle reaction, it's automatic - just like seeing human figures out of the corner of your eye in the dark is an automatic brain response trying to put patterns to insufficient data.
Yeap, a sheep with a hat. 😆trevh - Member

The hat is clue of where the person comes from.
... or must be a weresheep ... 😛
Interesting ... hmmm ... I thought it's the opposite. i.e. I mean just let them be if there is not enough information.bencooper - Member

I doubt you can tape it because it sounds like someone is shouting beside your ear.
I'm confused - why wouldn't you be able to record a sound that is like someone shouting?
For the record, I sometimes used to hear my dear old mum's voice telling me to get up when I was half awake in the morning, just like she was waking me for school. Very clearly her voice and words.
Spooky. But being a massive sceptic I was happy to dismiss that as an auditory hallucination or dream, rather than her ghost. Mostly because my mum is very much alive.
I am a sceptic but still can't explain who the lady who walked past me in my house was - I was alone at the time. Or so I thought.....
Unless someone can come up with an alternative to the laws of thermodynamics, then ghosts cannot exist.

We've all woken up to find a strange female walking out of the bathroom and unexplained ectoplasm coming out of mouths for a few hours.

The idea of Ghosts being the dead is an English Cultural thing. In Scotland ghosts were ofter considered to be of live people - often premonitions of their death.
The question is why are you spooked if you don't believe in such thing?
No thats the wrong question.
The natural instinct to over pattern recognise and think the worse is in all of us. It was a rather handy adaption in the past since recognising a snake when there wasnt one was generally better than stepping on one.
The difference is whether you decide its ghosts or just over reactive imagination.
Once it fires off though it can be hard to suppress. Once I was out on a bimble in twilight and got a glimpse of something out of the corner of my eye, probably a bat. However then my subconcious decided it was a threat and went into full paranoia mode trying to spot a big scary creature.
Go out at night into the woods and sit for a half hour or so. You will start seeing people standing where twenty mins early there was a just a tree (you might also hear a rabbit getting some bad news which can really trigger a need for new pants).

Is that when Dr Brown Bear tells them they have mixi?
It is quiet heartbreaking.
Can you record all sounds in this world? 😆GrahamS - Member

Ya, that's a spirit ... check the history of your house or the location. Should be fun. Challenge her to frighten you see if that will happen. 😛
Within the confine of your definition or knowledge nothing exist. The world was once flat too ... 😀nevisthecat - Member

You have fear because your mind is corrupted. e.g. an innocence child does not fear anything because the child's mind is pure.dissonance - Member

I will probably fall asleep soundly unless there are mosquitoes, leeches, ticks, centipede, biting flies or scorpions (far east jungle), in which case they scare the shite out of me ... 😆 Sleeping in the woods? No. I fear creepy crawlies ... 😆Go out at night into the woods and sit for a half hour or so.
