disembodied voices
Speakers without bodies
Disembodied voices are voices heard without a visible source—the speaker cannot be seen or identified.
The phrase evokes the supernatural: ghosts, spirits, or unseen narrators.
But it applies equally to mundane situations: A disembodied voice came over the intercom, Disembodied voices drifted from the next room.
The term emphasizes the uncanny quality of hearing speech separated from a body.
