Hmm, hey, do you believe that ghosts exist in electronic products? I posted this story but received no response, so I am posting it again. Please provide input.
This is not my experience; it is just a story I received in the mail.
Interesting!
I have a baby monitor story too, though I think I may have already told it here. It's definitely not scary, though (well, not in my opinion). I do wonder if the monitor in either story picked up a radio signal from somewhere else. It seems more likely in my case than in this story, but it's not entirely impossible.
At any rate, we lived in Illinois at the time, and my youngest son was either 2 or 3 years old at the time. He is mildly physically handicapped and didn't learn to walk until he was 3. At the time, he still slept in his crib, which had very high curved sides, and he could not get out of it at all.
I had a friend who had recently died, and since we were both pagan, I decided to do a "goodbye ritual" for her on Samhain. I'd never had any trouble with the monitor before that, nor after; we are still using it (my son is 8 now but is mentally challenged as well, so I keep the monitor in his room in case he needs me during the night). We had lived in the house for about a year before this happened and continued to live there for close to 6 months afterward. I often saw "small shadows" in the house, but I see those in every place I live, so I'm used to them. Nothing else "odd" happened there that I recall.
Not having any place in the house that was truly private, I did the goodbye ritual in my son's room after he fell asleep. All it consisted of was lighting a special candle that I chose for her and softly talking about how she had touched my life, and I was sorry to see her go, may she be at peace—very nice and completely non-threatening, of course. There was nothing else to it, so it's not like I "called something up."
All was quiet, and we went to bed shortly after the boys did. Shortly after I turned on the monitor speaker in our room, I heard the most beautiful Native American music coming from it, which started soft and got louder even though I was not touching the volume on the speaker. Very pretty music, nothing scary at all, though it was startling. However, my son was a very light sleeper at the time, and I was afraid the music would wake him up. I thought at first he must have gotten out of his crib and turned on the CD player in the room, or that his brother had gotten in there and turned it on. Usually when my younger son would wake up, he would start crying, so I was amazed that the loud music hadn't awakened him. I ran down the hall to turn the music off because it kept getting louder, opened his door quickly, and there was just silence in his room—yet I could still hear the music on the speaker when I went back into our room. I went back to check the CD player again, took it out of the room...it had a classical lullaby CD in it, and the radio was not on either.
My friend who had died was a native Inuit of Alaska and was quite fond of Native American flute music. I wondered if she was thanking me for remembering her or saying goodbye in her own way. The music continued for some time that night, but we never heard it again. Of course, it could have been that the monitor speaker just picked up a satellite radio station that happened to play New Age music, too—and it just happened to be a Native American flute piece that we caught.
