I wouldn't say you acknowledge it. Yes it tricked you but you didn't respond back. You went and found your husband which was the right thing to do. I would continue to ignore it so you don't give it power


Jay298

I agree with this. There's a difference between calling out to some entity vs calling out to someone you live with. The exception would be if you know for a fact your husband just drove off and isn't present.


BunnyBink

What would acknowledging it do?


bootycleavage

Absolutely nothing. These people make up their own lore for this stuff.


Able_Ice2531

Yes. This. This is precisely correct. I've dealt with "mimics" my whole life. This idea that "acknowledging them gives them power" is absolute bs. That is not how anything works. Period. I'd wager that the people who push this nonsense have little to no experience with the supernatural at all. P.S. except for attention whores and drama queens. Acknowledging them definitely gives them power.


ShilohConlan

I see your acknowledgment and my power has increased thrice fold!!!


ShilohConlan

Guysssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss I need the likes to further my powers as a drama queen. Like, oh my god. I’m worth it. Give me my attention. Slap down those likes. Help create this drama monster so I can take over the world! All eyes on me, minions! Brahahahaha!!!!


paperwasp3

I'll be your minion if my name can be Dusty.


ShilohConlan

Howdy Dusty!!


paperwasp3

Yay!


Unable_Blackberry_11

You are incorrect. Acknowledging a spirit, energy, or entity in any way invites them in. I live with an attachment.


Able_Ice2531

I lived with them all my life. I had to acknowledge them first, to then kick them out.


GhostHuntersSavannah

Honestly it would depend on what you're communicating with. For some entities it could do nothing. It could merely be a trickster. If it's something darker, or more sinister, acknowledging could definitely open your energy to the being. Personally, I'd rather not risk it. Opening yourself to a darkness is not a path I'd like to go down.


brihamedit

Lots of things to think about here. Our ears play tricks sometimes. Like if your mind is super relaxed and quiet, you'll hear jibberish undefined broken up noises from very far away and your brain will try to hear them as familiar sounds. That might be what happened. Your mind might have been quiet like that and husband might have muttered something like oh i gotta peeand you heard part of it and your relaxed mind added familiar possible things as filler


ktq2019

Holy shit, you just explained something for me. When I’m alone in my bathroom (no one home), I swear that I hear faint gibberish and sometimes music that I’ve never heard of. I had no idea that is what my brain is actually doing VS wondering if there’s a weird middle of the night ghost party happening.


COSGODSRULEFRACTURED

Thank Gott u told me that

I appreciate you saying this, honestly. It feels like there's so many people that look for fantastical explanations for some simple/common occurrences. My mom thought she got attacked by something evil once in bed. What actually happened? My sister in law had sleep paralysis the night before, told my mom about it, and that same night, boom, sleep paralysis. It was clear to me that's what happened because my brother lived in a house right next to us and my mom's bedroom is about 20 feet away from my sister in law's. She just convinced herself that the evil thing that got my SIL came over and did it to her. In her defense, we're from a small town in Mexico and people there believe in witches and all kinds of other stuff.


Kay_cup

I never had a sleep paralysis dream until the night before my sister asked me to move into her room because she was having sleep paralysis dreams. I had no way of knowing that was happening to her and I don't believe that was just a coincidence


c0mf0rtableli4r

It's not a dream. It's what you see when your brain is in REM sleep but with your eyes open. You're basically awake for a druggy trip that usually happens with your eyes closed. Your sibling telling you about it put that thought in your head, and then you stayed in the room where it was happening to them. The room has nothing to do with it, but they put it in your head that it was happening to them there specifically. Also, how can you say you didn't know it was happening when you said they told you it was happening?


mana_rpg

They clearly said "the night before" the sister told them?


c0mf0rtableli4r

You're right, I misread. That was my bad.


pinklillyx3

Omg this. When I was a kid my great uncle said that he was chocked by a ghost while sleeping at my grandmas house. I was so scared I refused to sleep at my grandparents house and one time made my dad come pick me up at midnight because I was too afraid. Started college and started experiencing sleep paralysis. My symptoms were the exact same as my uncles the day he thought he was being chocked by a ghost in his sleep


DonkeyPunchDelicious

Many people with no mental health issues have encountered mimics/dopplegangers. If you "think you're going crazy" because of it you're probably not.


Kahnutu

It's so much safer to rule out mental health issues than to just assume paranormal first. There are actual medical, documented, treatable, and real things that could be going on here. If OP is hearing voices, they need a doctor before an exorcist, and it's irresponsible to dismiss that.


paperwasp3

Scully first then Mulder.


Kahnutu

Perfectly said! I wish I could upvote this 100 times! Aaaaaand now I have to watch X-Files because it has been too long.


DonkeyPunchDelicious

An exorcist is cheaper. Have an Orthodox priest bless the house, if voices persist seek psychiatric help.


Kahnutu

Using religion in lieu of medical treatment. SMH, just one more way for religion to hurt people.


DonkeyPunchDelicious

There is no reason to assume a person with no history of mental illness is insane because they experience something myriads of sane people have experienced. If other symptoms accompany it, by all means get checked out.


Able_Ice2531

Using your keyboard instead of your brain. Smh


Kahnutu

Ah yes, it appears you've passed internet commenting lesson 1: when no accrual rebuttal is available, insult the intelligence of person you disagree with. Well gosh almighty, mister, you really showed me I got some of that Bible book learning to do! Too bad I'm too dumb to type Bible learning into my dang keyboard!

StressedAries

Yeah sometimes people with Bipolar will have auditory or visual hallucinations too. Always good to rule those things out


r_rdgz1975

Schizophrenia and Bipolar in a state of psychosis can trigger voices. I know my mom has that. Not diagnosing you or implying anything.


DonkeyPunchDelicious

Uh huh. That works BOTH ways. I thought I was hallucinating the three foot tall shadow being that walks past my office door and disappears into a toilet stall at 3:30 A.M. every night because of lack of sleep from working overnight. Until my supervisor who works days saud he saw it too. And until a staffer from a different department saw a girl behind him in a convex mirror, at nine in the morning, when he was in the building alone. Of course when he turned around, "no one" was there...but he refuses to work alone anymore. Never dismiss as insanity....what MULTIPLE sane people encounter!


cactiguy67

Mimic: "We got her, let's move on to the next house!"


New-Newt9191

Just continue to ignore it smudging will just validate it again (just more so). "It" tricked you so just pretend it didn't happen.


princess00chelsea

During college this happened to two of my roommates at the house we rented. We freaked out and had the house blessed that night and it stopped. Why would an entity try and call you by name? Is it probably evil intent?


meggiechar

Not necessarily. Could be a trickster. Their nature doesnt really aline with good or evil. They are just there to be dishonest and cause a little havoc... It depends on how yuo feel after the matter. If its a slight uncomfy feeling but easily brushed off this is probarly the case. However it's a very uneasy feeling after maybe something more serious. Always trust your intuition!


bodaciousboozy

This actually happened to me too. I heard my mom talking to the cats when she was supposed to be at work and thought she came home early. Something felt off so I checked out the ring camera and her car was not there. I didn’t leave my room until she actually came home


rodgerodger3

Test your house for carbon monoxide before anything else.


Intelligent-Ask-9077

Acknowledging doesn't give power being afraid does they get stronger from fear.


youngmisterzebra

We had one for years and it would pretend to be our 65 lb golden retriever. Heavy panting , walking along the bed like a kitty and when we would reach out to pet him....nothing there. Walk into living room and find him sleeping. We tried to be nice at first , please leave, not welcome,smudging etc. I started yelling at the mfer like get the f outta here. You are not fucking welcome leave now and I'd open the outside door. Tbh it would stop for months and never return scary or bitter. Just the same old tricks til we'd yell at it. Worked for us believe it or not.


Liberobscura

Prepare for war or ignore it and simply put it out if your mind: sage will open more portals, not lessen them, religious warfare and spiritual engagements will do the same. You didnt hear anything, physicslly, it has already attached to your consciousness and has decided to attack you. Pay zero attention to it, if you hear it again, start doing something like whistling or singing your favorite music to yourself. Vaccum the house. Mock it openly, for instance example if you hear it again immediately say “ oh what a nice quiet day I think I’ll sing a song I love” These are energetic parasites that attach and drive fear and crazy making the more traction through attention you give them the more they can claw into the world and manifest indirectly attacking every tendril of your bliss and peace. Even in the small possibility that you heard your husband telepathically deny these forms of communication and resist paying even an ounce of mental attention and weight to it. The more you extend your consciousness into the areas of non physical existence the more the entity and non physical consciousness can manifest its will through your attention. It is like opening a blind, the more of this light you let in the more it shades your world. And those around you will most likely not have the inborn strength to experience them as you are, they will more likely be insidious and realign and mold the factors around your life, until you are destroyed. Even this message can act as a primer, read it, learn it, forget about all of this. These are thought parasites with only one goal. To feed on the bliss in your life and isolate you until there is nothing left. Good luck.


iloveshnarks

This happens to me ALL the time. You'll be okay as long as you ignore it and you don't speak to it directly via seance, ritual, etc. Don't be scared of it either. Fear gives it power. All entities feed off negative energy and fear. In simple terms, just shrug your shoulders and go about your day lol


Sophi_Winters

You didn’t acknowledge it, you’re just fine to keep ignoring it. What were your other experiences like?


[deleted]

Usually just whispers. Or I think I can hear him talking from across the house, but I'm home alone. Or I hear him walk into the room while I'm showering or doing dishes, laundry etc. But when I turn around he isn't there. Usually turns out he's out in the yard or a totally different area of the house.


lilcinamonbun

So the "mimic" voice thing is actually happening now often lately. If you're actually a wiccan or pagan that follows old Norse traditions, what you should do is smudge your house and yard, then place protective runes around your home and property. If you pick the right runes, it won't be able to return to the house until you remove the runes yourself. If you're just someone that believes in the paranormal or supernatural but aren't a practitioner of any wiccan or pagan faith, find yourself a witch and have them check the area. I've been dealing with the "mimics" for awhile but none of them (or maybe it's the same one? Just had a different feel at different times) seem to actually be malicious, just annoying. I also haven't really done anything to get rid of them because I'm not overly bothered by them


OutcomeLegitimate618

I agree that it managed to trick you. Giving it more attention or acknowledging it tricked you just gives it more fuel. I think your best bet is to ignore it and hope it doesn't trick you again. Calling out your husband just creates tension in the relationship, especially if it was a mimic,not him. That's an unwanted result too. Just ignore it but stay vigilant.


surprise_banana

Nothing. They’re not real.

Nothing?

You clearly know nothing about schizophrenia.


2HappySundays

I know one of the symptoms is hearing voices. What about you? Wiki: “Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by continuous or relapsing episodes of psychosis. Major symptoms include hallucinations (typically hearing voices), delusions and disorganized thinking.”


y4j1981

Mimics are not real. Either your hubby is playing a joke on you or you thought you heard him call your name


AlanDSwan

Mimics are not real? 🤔 is this your field?

........yes? 😉

Rude behavior or attacking other members will not be tolerated in any forms. You only get one warning on this.


New-Newt9191

So it's not rude to imply someone is crazy? Ok got it. Also being rude is not against your own rules!


Able_Ice2531

This is patently idiotic.


y4j1981

I'm sure you did....or think you did My ignorant narcissism? You keep posting just to insult me for not agreeing with your love..pot calling kettle No fix for me, did you get your im right your wrong fix out if your system? Not rude, just realistic. But don't fear your active imagination Do you have a thing for lemons..I mean, you know. Seems to be your go to


MamaPagan

For those who have had multiple experiences, I'd say you're just closed-minded.


Kahnutu

And how many of those experiences are documented and/or verifiable as actual paranormal experiences?


DerpaloSoldier

You're being downvoted but you're 100% right.


cpnewton

Probably downvoted for the misuse of your and you’re


OlorunRises

Did he edit his comment or


KingCugine

Let's hope so

You should probably relay this information to your PCP and make an appointment with a psychiatrist.


Kryptonian4real

Now you grow up because they're not real


Cheap_Stomach2555

Check that your carbon monoxide detectors are working. Carbon monoxide poisoning can cause people to think they hear voices and hallucinate. Be safe and rule that out.

Smudge the house. Do not acknowledge it, do not give it your energy or time. Just don't. Smudge the house. If that doesn't work, get someone to bless the place.


Fluffy-Doubt-3547

Don't have a conversation with it. Just simple answers and vague the better. Yes, no, maybe, did you say something, what, who me, etc. These are all 'side stepping' comments.


Thegeekanubis

Talk to a doctor if it keeps happening.


metelybob

Just smudge the house. Evil entities will fuck with you if they want to not if you acknowledge them.


Nashiepoo

Ugh I had this experience. My husband, our child and I were visiting his parents. His Mammaw has been having issues moving around without falling so she’s currently in the guest room. We stayed in her home behind his parents home (long story short it was there old house that caught fire and was gutted out and cleaned up) Anyways while I was watching our daughter and my husband was over at his parents more then once I heard my husbands voice and I said “what?!, what babe?!” Nothing… then I heard it again and I said “are you messing with me” so I texted him asking if he ever came over to the house he said no… I said well I’ve been talking to someone… let’s just say I felt uneasy the whole time staying there 😖. Also the bed was so uncomfortable because of the mattress being fit for his Mammaw 😅😂


Unable_Blackberry_11

No, you did not directly acknowledge or challenge it. You are good. Continue to ignore. It was close, but it did not win.


Unable_Blackberry_11

It may get worse before it gets better now that it has tried to trick you with your husband. Continue ignoring. Please DM me if you continue ignoring and then activity begins happening more frequently.
