The past few days I've been working alone in a rather secluded part of my works building. Several times I've heard my name being called in a high piched voice, which has,understandably made me jump. I've been hoping it would build into a nice unexplainable event. However, today I was walking along, doing my job when I hear it again and I have a moment of realisation, it's part of the floor making a squeak when I step on a cartain part of it.   |

Excellent! And who taught the floor to say that, I wonder?  |

Well, i must need a hearing test, because yesterday early evening I was home alone in an upstairs room when I heard a male, almost electronic voice say over & over "The beat". I thought it must be some music coming from somewhere but there was no other sound. I searched the room for a toy or something that might be running out of battery power and playing up. Nope. It went on and on for about 10 or so minutes, then I yawned and my ear "popped" and I realised it was a tiny bird sat in the tree outside the window singing! The pitch was such that all i could hear was the deeper part of its song Once I could hear it all it did sound lovely |

| Could the bird have been beatboxing? |

In a way this is the opposite of a misperception, but I couldn't think where else to post it, even though I'm sure something similar was mentioned somewhere here quite recently...
I've mentioned my kitchen is being re-done, which has meant a lot of stuff has been moved about, but now it's all finished apart from new electric sockets.
This evening I wanted a spoon, and since I rarely put things away I went straight to the cutlery strainer on the sink to grab one from there. But the strainer wasn't there. A workman had been finishing the grouting there this morning, so he must have moved it. So I looked all round the room, but couldn't see it, even though it is a bright yellow plastic object! Then I looked in all my new cupboards and drawers - nothing. I moved chairs and looked underneath - nothing. Then I looked in all the cupboards and drawers again - still nothing. The workman's name was accumulating some not very nice adjectives... Finally I gave up, and managed to find one spoon in the cutlery drawer.
And then I saw the yellow strainer, sitting on top of the fridge. It had been there all the time, because then I remembered seeing it there earlier on a couple of occassions. But when I wanted it, my eyes couldn't see it, nor could my memory tell me where it was!
This was perhaps a MISS perception!  |
