What's happening?????

IddyG April 13th, 2020

It's 4 am and I experienced something weird.

After getting out of the bathroom I laid on my bed and then suddenly I heard music.

For context, it was really calming music, almost classical. Lots of violins and pianos, basically something like a soundtrack from a wedding movie or an opening at least.

Except, it didn't feel like it was playing from my head, in fact it sounded almost like background music. It was far away, I thought the neighbors downstairs (I live in an apartment) were playing a movie or something. But at the same time...I still heard it so clearly? Well...let me explain it better. The first time, it sounded like faint music was coming from the corner of my room (I thought something was accidentally left on...even though my TV is completely off???)...and then later I heard it everywhere in my room, still very faint and quiet. Then it became more harder to hear, like it was just outside music now.

I felt really anxious upon hearing this, I tried to think reasonably but I was just a little freaked out (Was it the neighbors? Is it my dad's laptop? Except he wasn't using it when I walked in earlier...was it a ghost?)

As of now, I can't hear it anymore. It's stopped completely. This is the first time I'm experiencing this weird thing. Maybe I'm hallucinating?? I really think I'm hallucinating for sure, I do have mental illness. But it all feels so real though...

Help meeeee

More context: my room is close to the living room and my parents were watching tv for a while...but the music definitely didn't come from there.

Freaky..

@IddyG it's hard to say for certain without being able to investigate, but it sounds like it may have just been coming from somewhere else in the apartment or possibly outside, and just hit an acoustic "sweet spot" that made it into your room. Plus the late hour probably means there wasn't much else for your ears to focus on, so things can seem louder or even fluctuate in volume, especially when we're not sure of the source.
