Did i really hear my dad?
We used to live in a house that was around 80 years old. Every now and then I would hear knocking sounds or footsteps, but nothing too unusual.
One morning, I woke up at around 10 a.m. I stayed in bed for another 10–20 minutes before finally getting up and opening my bedroom door. Before I did, I loudly called out, “Good morning!”
Before anyone answered, I heard my father and his wife walking around upstairs. I could hear them laughing and hear my father talking. A few seconds later, my father shouted “Good morning!” back down to me.
After that, I went into my grandmother’s room. This might be important to mention: my grandmother had suffered a brain hemorrhage years earlier and could barely walk anymore. I asked her if she needed anything because I was planning to go shopping.
She looked at me and said that my father and his wife had left for the city over an hour ago to go shopping, and that I should call them if I needed anything.
Confused, I picked up my phone and called my father. They weren’t home.
So who… or what… had wished me good morning?
About 30 minutes later, they came back home. I asked both my father and his wife if either of them had shouted “good morning” to me earlier, but they both told me they had already left the house around 9 a.m.
So what exactly was it that answered me that morning?
