Do you hear sounds that aren't there ?

I've been reading all the replies to my 'dreams' thread, and something else i thought of was, i may have asked this before, does anyone hear noises that aren't there. A bit like tinitus, like music or someone singing, although it sounds more like whailing. In  the past i've heard the sound  which i thought was horses and soldiers, as if Robin Hood or the Battle of the Roses, and the cobbled streets. This has seemed so real i got up out of bed and looked out of the window. There was nothing there and i went to our local librabry to see did they have any records of what was on the land, perhaps 100s of years ago, before the houses were built. The only records showed fields and farms, no battles.

  • I don't think I've ever experienced the kind of thing you have described. However, there have been numerous instances when I've awoken with a jolt convinced that someone is ringing my front door, or that my phone is ringing. I tend to come to the conclusion that I had probably dreamt it. Just to add, even if no message is left, there is a red LED that flashes on my phone when there has been an incoming call. Therefore, it's easy to prove if my phone has actually been ringing.
