Why Do Some People Hear Voices That Aren’t There?

Imagine your brain is like a radio. Sometimes, it picks up signals that aren’t meant for you, and those signals sound like voices. That’s what happens when some people hear voices no one else can hear.

Why Does This Happen?

Sometimes, the brain gets confused and thinks it's hearing something real. These voices might be friendly or scary, and they can feel very real to the person hearing them.
