Sorry this is a long one:
TLDR: someone or something mimicked mine and my brother’s voice, sounding panicked and scared.
About 10 or so years ago, when I was a teen and still living with my parents, a very strange, creepy thing happened. In this particular house we had all sorts of strange going’s on. Too much to include now, but I found this particular incident really unsettling.
It was very late at night, maybe early morning hours, very dark outside. The whole house was asleep (I have four siblings). My brother’s room was across the hall from my parents room and my sister’s and I slept in the basement.
My parents awoke suddenly to the sound of my youngest brother’s voice (5 years old at the time) screaming out to my dad. Just yelling “DAD! DAD! DAD!” Over and over again in a loud, terrified voice. My dad jumps out of bed and rushes to my brother’s room. It takes him all of 3 seconds to get to my brothers room to see what could have my brother yelling out like that.
When he opened the door, the yelling suddenly stopped. He saw both my little brothers fast asleep. He gently whispered to the brother who’s voice he had heard, and tapped him to see if he was having a bad dream. But got no response.
My dad thought that was kind of weird, but just chalked it up to some kind of nightmare/dream response. He walked back to his room. No sooner did he get back in bed (literally the moment he sat down on the mattress), they then heard MY voice this time screaming out to my mum, “MUM! MUM! MUM! MUM!” They said I sounded terrified, just like how my brother sounded, and like I needed help, and that it was exactly my voice, just like it was exactly my brother’s voice.
But this time the sound was coming from outside their open bedroom window, where the back yard and the back alley is. My mum and dad looked at each other perplexed. My mum jumped out of bed this time and decided to come check on me in the basement, even though the voice was coming from outside. She makes her way down - and I remember this part - she woke me up in my room and asked me if I was calling out to her. I was groggy and tired and thought she was being weird and of course said no. I fell right back to sleep.
As she’s making her way back up the stairs she hears my voice again, the same terrified voice, screaming out to her, but from the front of the house this time. She stood by the big front window in the living room and looked out onto the street. There was no one out there, not even a car driving by, it was totally still. The screaming suddenly stopped.
At that point she knew it was something sinister. She went back to bed and her and my dad talked for a bit and prayed and then went to sleep. They didn’t hear the voices again that night.
The next day she told us what happened and obviously we were quite terrified. She said it was uncanny the likeness to mine and my brother’s voices. I even did an impression of what the voice could have sounded like and my mum said yes. It was the exact same tone, sound.. everything.
So any theories as to why this happens? Why these mimic beings take an interest in people? My gut says it’s just to mess with us and scare us, but I’m curious what others think.
TLDR: Parents hear mimic of my voice screaming, while I slept.
