Hearing whispering while nobody is there!!!

Question

I have been hearing whispering sonce a week especially at night time when i am going to sleep or halfway sleep. Sometimes it wakes me up. Its like somebody is whispering my name in my ear or near me. I dont drink at all. I dont use drugs of any kind. I am not on medication. My question is what is it? In my religion its most likely ghost or satan. sometimes we believe that somebody did black magic on the person. But i really want to know the real cause. Please help me.

I sympathize with you.  I experience the same thing.  It usually happens as I enter deep sleep.  I am a spiritual person and I always pray before I go to bed for my Higher Power to watch over me and protect me.  There are times that it startles me and I have to work very hard to wake up and of course nothing is there and the sounds have stopped.  I definitely think talking to your doctor about it is a very good idea.  Since you have faith, use it and have comfort in it.  Do you just hear the sound of someone whispering or do you hear what they say.  If you hear what they say, write it down and see if it is something your subconscious is trying to tell you.  I don't have a solution for you but believe your Higher Power will protect you.

I have the same thing that has been happening to me since I had my NDE. I died, and I was surrounded by Demons. Then Jesus showed up and saved me. I didnt believe in God before this , but now I do. But anyway I have been messed with non stop since then by these Demons. It happens mainly when I am trying to go to bed. I also will feel extreme heat, or extreme cold in random little spots. Its weird. Most of the time it sounds like its coming from the ceiling. And I will see slight discolorations on my wall that looks like sets of eyes. But know these are Demons. But if you have faith in Jesus they cant harm you. Sometimes I used to get attacked, I would feel extreme terror and start to feel like I was dying, and I think this was them attacking me. They would also grab my feet, and knock on tables, and walls. But now that I stay in prayer, and read the Bible the attacks have stopped. I think you should take this as reassurance that you are special to God. Or else Satan wouldn't be after you like he is. I know it is weird and unsettling but I have gotten use to it, and I just use it as a way to get closer with Jesus. I feel that my connection with Jesus is a lot deeper than others because of this. So its not all bad. I will pray for you. God Bless

A lot of us do not want to believe that the gifts we have is a curse that needs to be treated with meds.  It is a personal decision that has consequences either way.  It is nice to know that if it gets out of control there are medications that can help but I believe that a person has to realize and decide what they are capable of handling.

Back in 2011, I heard a voice say my name. It was a young woman with a foreign accent. I am British and my name is Yvonne, but they way she pronounced it was "Yv-vhan" rather than Yv-onne. Like a Filipino accent. It could even feel her breath as she whispered it into my left ear.

I must add I wasn't in a state of sleep like most people, but I was sitting upright at the end on my bed preparing to go to bed.

I wasn't scared and really wanted her to say more than that. Since then I've become more spiritual.

The reason I am now posting is because a couple of days ago now in 2016, I felt heavy breath in my right ear - but no voice this time as I was preparing to sleep. I really wish they spoke to me so that we could have a conversation to discover who it was... But that was all. 

I really believe they are angels. I really am against the idea it is a mental problem needing meds.

I hear a voice that whispers to me most nights before i go to sleep and the strange (but not worrying) part about this is that i can ask questions in my head back to the voice (it has told me that it is my "protector"). - it has even told me in which year i will die (2043) - sometimes i cannot make head or tail of what it says to me but i have already asked about Heaven and Hell and questions relating to a possible afterlife not that i am religious in the slightest but from what i have gathered, an afterlife is nothing like how it is perceived by the living (one man's heaven is another man's hell is basically what i have underdstood). I may just be half dreaming this cos i am NOT a bible basher or a religious person at all

manroot · Answer

This is exactly what has been happening to me recently... Vivid dreams and omg they freak me out at night! It almost feels as if my eyes are open when it's happening. Sensations on my body and visual hallucinations as I wake up. Freaky, might have something to do with the meds? I've never had this before except while in my psychotic episode... somebody was talking to me.. and I was writing it all down..

I had it last night. Iv been dealing with it for years and this is the first time i had something whispering in my ear. I just wish I could remember what it said. I am greatful to have someone sleeping next to me at night who wakes me up when he hears me screaming, he says i makes an eerie, goulish, groan or growl sometimes. he says its a noise he cant even repeat because its at all anything hes heard before. but that is when i am acctually calling for him to wake me up.
It happened 4 times in a row last night. the second time i saw a tall man wearing a spacesuit or something with a large rectangular backpack. he was all black. The creepiest part was the next day I had no memory of what I told my boyfriend. that something was whispering awful, mean, scary things to me. I cant remember what it said. and he was having a dream with the same type of figure I saw in our room.
I am in college studying psychology and I know the science behind it all but what is so eerie about it is the fact that people from all over the world who dont know each other see the same woman or red and black man. sometimes identical hallucinations. Our brains are entering a place somewhere between the conscious and subconscious. humans are not supposed to do this. the part of our brain called the thalmus(decides if our fear is rational or not) is shut down, while our amygdala( our fear sensor) is totally active. maybe mixing them or even accessing our "sixth sense" or "third eye". Maybe I sound like a wierdo but Its kind of cool to think about.

Last night I was dreaming very vividly and was enjoying listening to some music (in my dream).  Then all of a sudden it sounded very real, as if I was listening to it live.  A loud high pitched buzzing took over, kind of like what you hear in your inner ear, but at least 5 times louder and I heard a girls voice say "can you hear me?" At this point I was wide awake and paralyzed, and scared as hell.  I started trying to yell and reach for my boyfriend but I couldn't move or speak.  The only other time I had sleep paralysis was about 6 or 7 years ago, I woke up paralyzed and my ex at the time was shaking me to wake up because he saw a black shadow next to me on the bed after I woke him up murmering.  Got to say if you don't believe in another realm where spirits dwell you are ignorant.  They are very much real.  What they want is unknown to me but I want nothing to do with it.

Hearing voices I've been told can often come from elevated levels of dopamine in your system. Making it difficult for your mind to filter out things it normally would and they can come across as voices when really it's just creative thoughts firing in your brain. Worth a google

Does anyone else have sleep paralysis along with the whispering? Jus wondering if theres a pattern.and I jys wanted to nention that I hear the whispering just sbout evry nite niw and 90 percent of the time the boy or girl voice is saying my name. And  alot of whiseling as well. I havnt read anyone saying any whistel comments. Ii wanted to note that if some kibd of spurits that they seem friendly I gavnt sensed any hostility.. and do any of you feel like it vcan be family from the other side tryng to send a message. And do any of u have a history of phicic tendencies? Hus xurios to see if  you hav any common circumstances like me. I dnt thnk bipolar has anythng to do with it. But I can be wrong ofcorse.

starbunny · Answer

I have similar experiences. I had just always put them down to hypnagogic hallucinations - which occur between wakefulness and sleep where the mind 'dreams' before fully asleep (or fully awake) - and one can see or hear stuff such as what you've described. The first time it happened I was convinced the voices were coming from inside the pillow as it seemed to get louder every time I put my head down. The last time it happened I even managed to have a 'conversation'. with the voice. I have personally never thought of it as anything spiritual and just put it down to this rather peculiar sleep state as it only happens when I'm tired

paranoid_cataclysm · Answer

I can understand where you're coming from, ever since I was 3 or 4 years old I've seen monsters or spirits off and on but unlike your scenario, I didn't get put on medication until I was 22. (Now I'm 23, soon to be 24)  When I get tired or stressed or anything of that nature it gets a lot worse.  Mine also didn't stay remitted when I was withdrawn from the medicine. =(  Oh well, to each their own.

Cricket654 · Answer

It is very hard when you do not get any support from you BF and he makes fun of you.  Let him know how much it bothers you when he makes fun of you and that you really need his support and not his sarcasim.  I still think you should see a doctor and see if there is something they can do for you to possibly solve the problem.  When I was younger, I used to see & hear ghosts everywhere and it totally freaked me out.  My psychiatrist put me on anti-psychotic drugs and I stopped seeing & hearing ghosts.  What I hear now is sounds that makes me think there is someone there but it doesn't worry me.  I was on the medication for a short period of time and I still no longer see ghosts.  There may be a solution for you but you have to take the first step and see a doctor about the voices.  It will be worth it if you can get it to stop.

Sandra137 · Answer

I just hear my name whispering to me. Nothing else. Or sometimes whisper only which i dont get it. I am just not comfortable with it. I told my BF he was making fun of me like i am jus a scary cat. But i dont know what else I can do about it.

I had this phobia i used to cover my ears cuz i used to think somebody might say something to me like ghost etc. But now it does happens. How to get over it. any idea please!!!

ILADVOCATE · Answer

This can happen when a person is falling asleep. That generally is not classified as a psychiatric issue nor should it be thought of in that manner. However if you have some form of disrupted sleep it would be worthwhile to speak to a doctor and they can do a sleep study if needed.
