Hiding in my room talking on the phone alone, the other person asked: "Was there a little girl giggling next to you?"

Some people are naturally more sensitive, and as a result, they tend to encounter more unusual stories. My friend Xiaoyue is one of those people. While reading about others' experiences, Xiaoyue also shared her own firsthand encounters.

Xiaoyue revealed that the incident happened when she was in middle school. One evening around seven or eight o'clock, she was in her room on the second floor of her grandmother’s house in Luodong, happily chatting on the phone with a friend. At the time, she was alone in the room, while her younger sister was in the next room. Nothing strange happened during the call, which lasted about ten minutes before ending.

However, the next day when Xiaoyue met up with a friend at cram school, the friend asked her with a puzzled look: "Xiaoyue... were there any other people around you when you were on the phone last night?"

After Xiaoyue answered, "No, there wasn’t anyone~", her friend became even more nervous: "Then why did I keep hearing a little girl next to you going 'hehehehehehe' the whole time?"

At this, Xiaoyue exclaimed, "That's impossible!!" But her friend insisted that during the call, she had heard the giggling of a girl around six or seven years old for nearly five minutes, which only stopped after the call ended—and the voice was "very close to the microphone." At first, the friend thought it might have been Xiaoyue’s sister laughing while watching TV in the next room, but the laughter had an eerie vibe, so she specifically asked Xiaoyue about it when they met.

As Xiaoyue grew older, her sensitivity to such things diminished. But even now, she still can’t forget the events of that night and her friend’s terrified expression.
