WHAT is breathing in DS's room??

The other day, DS7 told us that he could hear something breathing in his room at night. He doesn't believe in ghosts (thank God) but is understandably freaked out.

He told me again tonight that he could hear it, so first I lay in his bed and listened, then we both did and held our breath. I think I heard something...Like very quiet breathing, a bit like when our dog is deeply asleep, but I couldn't hear it clearly and couldn't tell where it was coming from or what was causing it.

Checked DS room thoroughly, including under his bed, to try to reassure him, but it didn't work and he's now asleep in my bed for the time being.

DH and my best guess is it's coming from next door, as noise does carry from there. No idea what though. Ideas please!

Oh, and as I was writing this, DDog just howled in her sleep and scared the crap out of me.

Thank goodness. I needed closure on this thread.

I was going to ask if it was a fan in another room! Both DH and I (on separate occasions) wondered when a cab would leave our street only to realise it was the fan. I can well imagine an oscillating one would sound like breathing.

Grin enjoyingscience and everyone else who guessed correctly wins a panting ghost of their very own.
