some context
sometimes i sleep on the couch downstairs because it gets too hot in my room. the couch isn't flat so sometimes i put a pillow on the right side of my head, so my head doesn't lean over and cause stiff neck. there is a mirror above the couch(some say a mirror is a gateway to the spirit realm). my cat is also next to me on the floor.
while in this position im breathing through my nose and then i hear a clear exhale of breath. i didn't hear it in my left or right ear. i just heard it. but it wasn't like hearing a voice in my head. i heard it outside of my head. i quickly let out my own exhale to see if it was just me breathing hard and it sounded nothing like what i heard
im writing this because it wasn't something that i mistaken for something else. i heard it clear as day and the room was quiet enough that it was undoubtedly not my own noise
i always believed in apparitions and external noises but i never experienced them personally and whenever i come across something "otherworldly" i always triple check to make sure its not just my imagination. there is a lot of unconfirmed stuff that i seen that sometimes could be explained like doors closing on its own or seeing black orbs in my peripheral vision but none of that stood out as much as what i experienced this morning
i felt sleep paralysis before. i know exactly what it feels like and it wasn't that. i was able to move the whole time
