I heard some sort of voice today.

I was at my desk this afternoon.  I face the wall when sitting at my desk.  A co-worker came by and stopped to talk to me about the NBA playoffs.  I turned my chair around to the left about 90 degrees and had my head turned the rest of the way talking to him. He was saying something about Okahoma City and out of nowhere I heard a male voice in my right ear.  I couldn't understand what it said.  It sounds like no more than 4 or 5 words and maybe lasted 2 seconds. The thing that was really strange was not only did I hear it but I felt it.  It felt almost electric and it sent a shiver through me and my adrenaline went up a bit.  I felt it around my ear too. Almost like a really tiny shockwave had hit my ear and the right side of my head.  My ear felt tingly for about 20 seconds after.  I looked at my co-worker and tried to see if he noticed or heard anything but he never acted like he did and I never asked if he heard it.  For some reason I feel like it's going to happen again. I hope it does.

We've talked a bit about ghostly origins before, specifically how infrasound can cause hallucinations and feelings of dread. That doesn't necessarily cover all ghost experiences, but some Swiss researchers think they've found something that might account for the rest: During a routine study on a 22-year-old epileptic patient, scientists found that a small electric shock to the left temporo-parietal junction, the part of the brain responsible for self/other distinction, caused the patient to see someone else in the room with her. When the shock stopped, the person disappeared.

As they attempted further experiments, the patient complained of feeling the other person behind her even while she was lying down. When the researchers attempted to have her read from a card, she reported that "the shadow tried to interfere, saying, 'he wants to take the card' and 'he doesn't want me to read.'"

The scientists now suspect that some sort of overstimulation of the left temporo-parietal junction could account for several forms of schizophrenia as well as a litany of paranormal experiences like ghosts, shadow people, out-of-body-experiences, doppelgangers, guardian angels and a thing called the Third Man Phenomenon, which is when people in extremely stressful situations report seeing another person following them around.

I smell an intervention in your near future

therapy, drugs, etc.

If you hadn't said the "feel it" part, I would have said that it was a coincidence / freak occurrence of acoustics.  Like when you stand on one side of a dome and can hear someone whispering on the other side of the dome clear as day.  There are several documented occurrences of crazy acoustics.  Sound bounces and reflects.  If enough variables coincidentally aligned that morning, you could have simply been hearing a conversation a cube or two down. 

However, you said you felt it.  That makes you crazy.
