Finally had a chance to listen to the show. thanks for asking my question. i was really struck by Paul's and Chris's stories and for goggs i sent a copy of the article i was talking about to put in perspective. It's an aspect you hear it come up from time to time and i really have to wonder what initializes this feeling. again i've been out by myself plenty of times and it doesn't come down to hearing a twig snap or anything like that. when i hear that i just think i'm not alone and will try to hide to see what critter may be lurking nearby, rather it's that sudden quiet that will get your attention, and although i've never noticed it one can only wonder what would happen if you heard a sudden quiet AND then the snapping of a twig, and while i've never heard voices or whispers i did hear on two occasions a buzzing/droning sound and i had no reason to think it was cicada or locusts as i am familar with their sound and as to whether they would even be a factor at the time given the time of year.

I cant recall ever having an Oz factor feeling though. Once maybe when i was a kid we were playing hide and seek and while running i suddenly felt disorieted ...almost lightheaded and actually wondered if what was happening "was real" which is kind of an interesting sentiment for a ten -eleven year old
