Am I losing it

I have had this, on lots of occasions, I will hear what I think is a huge rumble of thunder or an earthquake and my heart stops then it just turns out to be a rickety lorry going past outside. I remember once sitting at the computer as I am now when I heard what sounded to me like a huge explosion, I looked out of the window to see sparks coming down outside the window. My boys were all upstairs and I was convinced that they had been blown up in their bedrooms or that a plane had hit the house, I ran full pelt up the stairs expecting the worse to find everyone fine, it turned out that it was a firework that some kids outside must have set off and it had just hit the outside of the house!

Once, in my teens, I wasn't sleepy...and I was just playing with a tennis racket in the dark. I was tapping it on the floor enjoying the rhythmic sound. After around 15 mins of doing it, my mom called from the next room and asked if I heard a noise and I said 'no'! There had been a murder near our place a few days ago and mom was scared living in this big house alone with just two children. I continued with my tapping...and after sometime mom comes out franctically looking out of windows...and really scared. I asked her what it was and she said she's been hearing some noise and I asked her what kind of noise since I didn't hear anything and she said it was a tapping kind of a noise....lol...she wasn't amused...but I was!

Once I heard a strange frightening noise from the bath room when one of my guests was taking a shower.The horrible noise was stopped as soon as the guest stepped out of the shower.I just asked him what went wrong inside.He said 'noting I was just singing'. That is the only nightmarish noise I ever heard in my house.

You're not losing it. My cat does crazy things and he scares me a lot by doing things around the house. He will knock things over making really loud noises and it will startle me badly.

My kitchen has a flat roof and often I think there are people up on the roof because I can hear footsteps. Actually it is large birds, herring gulls, landing and taking off which make the noise with their big flat feet. I should be used to it after living here for nearly a year but I still sometimes find myself thinking there is someone up there.

No, haven't experienced that yet...but I think you're not losing it.

i don't think your losing it. it happens to me and my mom sometimes. sometimes its the ceiling fan in the other room turned on high or one of my little sisters left the computer on with a game running and it keeps making the same sound over and over again. we have an airport near our house so aircraft flies over our house all the time. so one day a helicopter flew over and i SWORE something blew up outside. i don't know why i thought that, but i did.

Dripping will set me off ,and I go daft hunting to see if ive got a leak or a flood,so you arent the only one thats goin bonkers by any means ,join the bonkers club.
