I've had what you could call a paranormal experience a few years ago and I just can't stop thinking about it, especially lately when I have all the time in the world to think.

I was walking home at around 2am (wasn't drunk or high, had some drinks but not too much and it's been hours) and went through a 2-mile stretch of the road between an unkempt thicket and the city graveyard. I don't have any mental illnesses, and I live in the Balkans if that matters. I was also always deeply atheistic. 

Around halfway through the road I felt, for the first time in my life, utter and inexplicable dread. I'm not paranoid, but that night just felt different. That thicket a few feet to my left suddenly felt like the most dangerous place in the world. I've never had a panic attack, but from what I've heard others describe it was a lot like that, just without any clear cause.
And then, the thing I can't stop thinking about happened. I was listening to music with earphones like usual, and I get really obsessed and picky over my songs so the playlist only had about 200 of my intimately known favorites. I know what's in this playlist, and it was offline on my SD card without random Spotify/Youtube playlist fuckery. So I know for a fact that I didn't have any song that had a part where it suddenly switches to an old slavic woman choir reciting Hail Mary. 
As soon as I realized what I'm hearing I ripped off my earphones and sprinted the rest of the way home. Nothing came of the dread, I checked my playlist again the next day and the Hail Mary part was nowhere to be found, and I never had any explanation or closure from that night. Never had any other paranormal experiences either.

What do you think happened, /x/? I haven't talked to anyone about it but with my sanity slowly deteriorating during the lockdown I think about that night more and more. Do you think it's even paranormal or is there a mundane explanation?

It your headphones are bluetooth it's possible you had someone try to connect to your headset by accident.
