Can such things Be?

This little tale doesn't rank with Penny or WW or Katlaf's stories, but I thought I would offer it as a corroboration of certain strange phenomena.

My wife, her daughter, our infant daughter(at the time) and I lived in a mountain home that was built in 1928. The house had a very positive and comfortable feel, but my wife and my step-daughter often mentioned, well out of the hearing of the little one, voices being heard from the kitchen. I had never heard them, until one night after all three of them had left for a visit to relatives in California. I woke up at about 3 AM, listening to the dull and muted interchange of several voices. I could aaalmost make out what they were saying, but not quite. I had just awakened, and in that confused state thought that my wife and her daughter were in the kitchen, speaking quietly so as to not awaken anyone. Then I remeembered they were gone. I decided that I had left the TV or a radio on, and got out of bed. As I entered the front room and saw that the appliances were all shut off, I also noticed that the voices had stopped.

We moved two years ago, and I asked my daughter (the former infant I had mentioned) if she liked the new house better. "Yeah, I guess. I miss some of my friends in the neighborhood." Then she thought for a second. "And it's not as scary at night. At least I don't hear people whispering in the kitchen all night long."
