Unexplained Phenomena

Last night I was in my basement, we have an office down there and I was working on the computer and listening to music. My dog upstairs was barking after my wife left the house, typical behavior, and I tried yelling to the dog to stop, but she didn't pay much attention to me or couldn't hear. A little later, the dog was still barking but stopped briefly and I heard what sounded like a woman's voice, trying to sooth my dog. Then after the voice stopped, the barking resumed. My house is in the middle of a forest, with neighbors out of yelling range and the road being a five minute walk away down my long driveway. My dog and I should have been alone in the house, so I went upstairs to see who was there. Nobody, and no cars in the driveway. I soothed the dog into not barking anymore, then went back downstairs. A few minutes later I heard the same voice again. And still nobody around. What's happening here? Here are my options.
  1. I'm going nuts (quite possible)
  2. The voice came out of some electronic device.
  3. Ghosts? (have I been watching too much Ghost Whisperer?)
  4. Some sneaky person was playing a trick somehow?
  5. It was something else that I mistook for a voice, birds, airplane noise?
  6. The virtual world I live in had a bug (or one of the Roman Chorus members left her mic on)
  7. I'm picking up radio transmission from my new dental work.
If it happens again then I will get up immediately, try to find the source of the voice, and probably never be seen from again. But that's another post...
