"I Hear Dead People" is an orchestral piece on the season 5 soundtrack. It plays during many scenes in which Miles uses his power.

Main appearanceEdit

A young Miles heads to a vending machine at an apartment block his mother is viewing. Suddenly, he senses something coming from one of the rooms. He finds a key hidden under a bunny ornament outside the door and uses it to enter. His mother hears him calling and rushes to find him. In the room, a man is laying on the floor dead. Miles recalls his last thoughts, claiming to have heard him. He can still hear him, much to his mother's horror.
