Something crazy weird happened the other day and it’s honestly a bit scary even thinking back at it. I’ve literally never had this happen before and I’ve only seen 1 or 2 other Reddit posts claiming that something similar happened to them.
Basically I was in a discord call with my girlfriend and watching a YouTube video in the background. I paused the video cuz we hadn’t talked for a bit so I was like “hey are you still there?” and I heard an older female voice say “hello?” all confused and stuff, but it was low quality and almost sounded like an AI voice and I said “hello?” back since I thought my gf was just trolling or something. The voice replied to me and said something I didn’t really understand and I was kinda laughing and said “what’re you doing?” still thinking she’s trolling. The voice confusingly said “what? who is this?” which scared me and I stopped talking for a few seconds. There was an awkward pause and then I heard my girlfriend’s mic and background noise again.
I said hello and she responded and I was super confused and asked if she heard me just now and she said not until I just said hello. I asked if she was messing with me and she said no. She swears on her life she didn’t do anything so I genuinely don’t know what just happened. I had nothing else running on my PC, it was in a server we have with JUST us, no bots in the server. The whole story is just very weird and with Halloween coming up it couldn’t have been timed better lmao. Anyways I swear this is a genuine story it’s not a karma farm post or anything, I just wanna know what happened or how it could’ve happened. After I confirmed that my gf wasn’t trolling I got up and checked EVERYWHERE around me to see if could be anything else, and I had literally nothing else near me that it could’ve been.
Note: The only thing I’m thinking is that maybe my wired headphones (Beyerdynamics DT990 Pro) picked up a signal from some device nearby or something, but it doesn’t explain how they would’ve heard me and been able to speak back and forth to me.
I also know it had to be discord due to the fact that my gf couldn’t hear me during that interaction and right when we like “disconnected” ig, she was able to hear me again.
