This happened to me and 4 of my friends during a Spiti motorcycle trip in 2022, and it’s something none of us have been able to explain till date.

We were 5 guys on 3 motorcycles, riding from Hanle towards Kaza. It was around 4 PM. We stopped at a random spot to take a break. There were huge mountains on one side and a river on the other. We left our motorcycles on the road and walked a little towards the river.

One important thing: all our phones were dead. Not low battery, completely dead. There was no signal there anyway.

We were just sitting there, smoking and talking, when suddenly we heard someone say, “Shubhu.” Just so you all know, Shubhu was none of us.

The voice wasn’t loud. It sounded like someone standing nearby had called his name.

All 5 of us heard it.

At first I laughed and said maybe someone’s phone was playing a video or something. My friends immediately reminded me that every phone was dead. We joked about it for a few seconds and then ignored it.

A minute or two later we heard it again.

“Shubhu.”

This time it sounded clearer.

Now we were all looking around trying to figure out where it came from. There was nobody around us. No houses. No vehicles. Nothing.

Then we heard it a third time.

Except this time it wasn’t just “Shubhu.”

It was like:

“Shubhuuuuuuu…”

And I swear the voice sounded closer and louder than before.

The moment that happened, every single one of us got scared. The atmosphere changed completely. Nobody was joking anymore.

We got on our motorcycles and left immediately.

I don’t mean we casually continued our ride. We literally got out of there as fast as we could and didn’t stop again until we were much closer to Kaza.

Maybe there is some logical explanation. Maybe sound echoes strangely in those valleys. Maybe someone was somewhere we couldn’t see.

But the weird part is that all 5 of us heard the exact same thing, multiple times, and to this day nobody has been able to explain it.

Has anyone experienced anything similar in Spiti or other remote mountain regions?
