My most unexplainable experience. The voice in the shadow.

Im a very superstitious person, and although I’ve heard anecdotes from my parents, I haven’t had many paranormal experiences. However I want to share the story of the time I had an experience I can’t explain to this day.

This was around 2019. My mom, her then boyfriend ( my now stepdad ), me and my then boyfriend ( we’ll call him Jake ) had decided to walk my mom’s chihuahua and dick around while we did it.

My mom had one of those spirit box apps ( This app was not / did not cause the said paranormal experience) and we where using it near and around the King George elementary school; a school that was once a military hospital during WW2 before it was converted into a school. It has since closed since around 2012.

So we’re walking around the school, listening to the app just having a silly time. And during a moment of silence between the three of us, we heard a disembodied males voice say “ Jake “ and call my boyfriend’s name, coming from a heavily shadowed area. We flashed our phone light towards the area, and nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Me, my mother and Jake heard his name be called when it was, and we all turned towards to voice in acknowledgement before confirming with each other that we all heard the same thing, after we established the area was unpopulated. the name was 100% not said in the app, which I think all of us could’ve brushed off as a weird coincidence, but it was said from a few feet away from the darkness has

Some backstory on my ex Jake, that I think is relevant?

He had experienced severe sleep paralysis for majority of his life, and had been followed from house to house by what he described as a hat man. Another time I remember we were in bed together, and I woke up to him moving and he said “ there was man standing above you. “, however I didn’t see the man. After me and him broke up I haven’t experienced anything to this degree ( I.e hearing something in the physical world ). I’ve gotten feelings in certain places with bad energy. But I’ve never heard a presence speak.

If you got this far, thanks for reading. Any input as to what you think happened would be appreciated, I’ve tried to look into accounts of haunting at this location and they seem sparse but I have a feeling me and my mom and my ex are not alone in a similar experience at this school. I’ve never been able to definitively say what happened that night, other than a voice came from seemingly thin air.

Also I don’t use apps like that anymore. Whether they’re fake or not. I just don’t bother.
