Wife and Kid hearing a mimic of me?
We've lived in our house for nearly 8 years. About 2 years ago, my kid (now 14, then 12) started coming out of her room every once in a while and asking what we wanted, saying she heard me calling for her. This happens at least once a week now. Around the same time, my wife would have vivid dreams that I was there talking to her, thinking I came home early from work. Today, I was at the gas station after running some other errands, and my wife called me and asked "how long have you been gone". I said "about 45 minutes, why?". She heard me laugh (I have a bit of a different voice and distinct laugh when it's genuine) and she said she heard it from my computer room. She thought I was in there until she came in to tell me something and noticed I was gone. She was taking a nap on the couch when I left (she works nights and has been pulling serious overtime, so maybe sleep deprivation?)
I'm in no way a skeptic, I've seen a lot of things in my life and usually I'm somewhat sensitive to, at very least, the presence of different entities, but I've never felt anything in our house.
Could this be a mimic? What are the next steps to protect my family?
