Carol Perkins: Hearing things Previous column: Class reunion time By Carol Perkins I promise I'm not making this up. I was sitting in my computer room when heard the door open from the garage, which is at the other end of the house. I heard rustling as if someone were coming through the door, so assuming it was Guy, I yelled, "Come on in; I'm back here." No response. I thought that he must have gone back to the car for something, so I waited and continued what I was doing. In a short while, long enough for him to come back inside, I decided to investigate. We don't have people opening the door and coming inside on a regular basis. As I walked down the hallway, I knew that if the light were on in his office, he was home. No light. I went to the door; no sign of a car. I paused, deciding that my mind was playing tricks on me. However, this was a big trick. I know I heard something! Another afternoon I was relaxed in my bedroom for an afternoon nap when I heard Guy's voice. Once again, I yelled, "I'm back here." When he didn't come to the back of the house in a few minutes, I went to see where he was. He was nowhere. Not a sign of him. No car-nothing. I'm not accustomed to hearing voices. I was talking to someone recently who told me she had heard her granddaughter's voice as if she were in the living room. "It was a little unnerving," she said. I could identify. When I told her about my experience, she seemed relieved. When I was a teenager and my bedroom was upstairs, I heard footsteps coming up the stairs in the middle of the night. I know I did! I didn't yell out because I was paralyzed and felt if I lay still, whatever it was would go away. Nothing came up those stairs, and the next day no one in my family had been up during the night. However, my brother was prone to sleepwalk, so I blamed the noise on him. Hearing voices must be a sign of something. According to a site online most people have had at least one experience of hearing a voice when there was no one around them. One study found that only around 25% of persons who hear voices also have a psychotic disorder. Oh great; now should I find out if I have a disorder? How do I find out? Never mind. I don't think I want to know. I'll keep my "disorder" and if I hear any more voices, I just hope they don't start carrying on a conversation. If you have had such experiences, you can email me carolperkins06@gmail.com and we'll go to therapy together.
