When I was 12 years old, I delivered newspapers. The sunday paper was delivered early in the morning. It was normal for me to go door to door in the darkness before dawn and to watch a nice sunrise as the sun came up. The TV in the living room was on. There was an old horror movie about a genie. While I was walking down a path to deliver a paper. Suddenly a voice behind me, that seemed near the back of my neck said something in a whispering or hissing voice. (I could make out the words but dont want to repeat what it said). I looked behind me. There was nothing there. There was nothing within 10 to 20 feet of me other than the pavement walkway I was walking on. Bordered on both sides by grass. I ran to deliver the paper where it was supposed to go. Rode home. Got a pocket knife for protection. Finished my route. Being somewhat rattled the entire time. To this day I wonder what it was. Ventriloquist is my favorite explanation.
