Ghost whispered to me in Costa Rica?
This happened when I was a freshman in high school in 2013. We went as a class on a service trip to Costa Rica (this was a very small independent school). We were lodged in pairs with host families in a very small village in the mountains. Me and my classmate went to sleep in our bunk beds for the night. In the middle of the night I wake up for no particular reason. I’m definitely fully awake and not dreaming, and I’m not experiencing sleep paralysis (I had experienced it once before and once later in college, this was not that). I don’t see anything, I’m just lying in bed, but I hear a voice whisper. The voice almost sounds like the wind if that makes sense, but there wasn’t any wind outside at all.
The voice whispers: “where are you?”. It holds the “are”. It whispers it again: “where arrrrrre you?”. It does a third time, and this time a similar voice responds: “right here”. This call and response repeats two more times before stopping.
I’ve only started thinking about this again recently. I’ve never bought into the paranormal and after this encounter I more or less brushed it off. If anything I’m looking for a non-paranormal explanation but unlike other weird stuff I’ve encountered I can’t really find one. Any thoughts? Did I overhear a ghastly and ethereal conversation?
