I’ve never really told many people this story because it still creeps me out when I think about it, but I’m curious if anyone has experienced something similar.
When I was about 7, my family had one of those baby monitors that constantly broadcasts sound from the room instead of activating only when there’s noise. The monitor was in my newborn sister’s room and the monitor receiver usually stayed in my parents’ bedroom overnight or the living room during the day/evening so they could hear if she woke up.
One night I was sitting in the living room watching TV with the volume low with my parents and the baby monitor was sitting on the coffee table. Out of nowhere, we started hearing a woman singing distinct lullabies. At first my dad thought it was coming from the TV program we were watching, but he muted the TV and we realized it was coming from the monitor. It wasn’t static or random noise, but it was actual, clearly legible singing. The weird part was that there was nothing in my sister’s room that could’ve made that noise. She didn’t have a TV, a radio, etc. I mean, she was a newborn baby lol. It gave me this really eerie feeling because it sounded so clear, like someone was actually in the room and the monitor was picking it up. I remember staying in the living room while they went to check on her and the singing continuing faintly through the monitor, but the closer they got to her room, the fainter it would get until it stopped completely when they entered the room. They couldn’t hear anything from the room itself the closer they got or when they opened the door. My sister was sound asleep.
If this had happened just once, I think we all could’ve chalked it up to monitor interference, faulty electronics, etc., but this went on for almost a year. It was a common occurrence that randomly we would hear a woman singing lullabies over the baby monitor and the same thing would happen each time where, when we got to the room, nothing. On one occasion, my mom was outside working on the garden and could even hear it from outside the windows. Our house was one story and the windows were eye-level so there was obviously no one in the room and no faulty electronics, and when she went to check the room, as usual, nothing.
We had other paranormal experiences in that house but this is the most clear because I was old enough to experience it and now, years later, it’s one of those memories that sticks with me because it felt so unexplainable at the time, and still does. I truly believe that our house was haunted in some way and I struggle to explain this experience.
Has anyone else had a baby monitor pick up voices or music when no one was there?
