Why do people hear voices in the woods? People tell stories all the time off how they hear voices in the woods.  Some of them are just crazy, but sometimes people get scared and their minds make them feel like someone is talking to them.  It might be their worst fear just getting to their head or it might be something that they have seen happen to other people in the woods. It might be a thought they have just repeating its selfs over and over again or They could be hallucinating.
