I was using the sanctuary piano to play through some tunes before rehearsal to see if they were anything I'd want us to sightread that night. I usually just read them in my head instead of playing them but I was in the mood to play plinky plink.
Anyway...one tune, it was "the First Noel" mashed up with Pachelbel's Canon. As I played it, that creepy being watched feeling started up.
I decided to ignore it since I was at church and always feel watched in there, but it was getting bad.
As I continued to play, I became aware of a female voice singing along. I could hear the words even.
Only that song. I was the only one in that building. The bell director was in the other building setting up for his rehearsal.
Anyway, that song, every time I tried to play through it, the feeling of being watched by something not good started up again and I could hear the woman singing.
It quit when senior pastor came in for our meeting.
And I didn't have the choir read that tune either.

I can relate to this, though I didn't find it creepy.
My wife and I were at the church working on getting Oh Holy Night hammered out between the piano and the electric guitar. After the piece turned into a piece of liquid I could hear a third instrument voice covering an epic lovely harmony.
It gave me the sense that the angels of the choir wished to welcome me. Every so often I hear that angel voice. Using some of its harmony elements has made for some astonishing "improv"
