I personally think that these things can sometimes happen due to weird room reflections , resonances modes, the position of the television etc interacting weirdly with certain frequencies. I will never forget one of these events when I recorded bird sound. Played back on my crappy laptiop speakers the birds literally seemed to be localised over a metre and a half above the laptop. Whats more everyone could hear the same effect ! As it only worked on that laptop and I only had it in one position in the room I reached the conclusion it was some weiird reflection thing off the screen/room. I wish I could remmeber which recording it was ....
