CPT: WWJ13 do? (Spooky edition)

giraffeluvspi · March 2014

Because @Kitten80's post made me think of this and now I'm curious...

You've put LO to bed in their crib and you check the video monitor to make sure their sleeping. Suddenly you see a ghost in their room. What do you do?

giraffeluvspi · March 2014

I forgot the hide under a blanket option... crap.

emmanemm · March 2014

I'd probably freeze. I'm beyond terrified of spooky things. I would freeze in my tracks like a deer in headlights and scream for dh.

sparkymcgeee · March 2014

I would go get my baby. Or roll over because ghosts ain't real y'all.
I tell myself that a lot.

Not sure. Intruder? I'd run in ready to brawl. Ghost??

Intruder I'd be grabbing a knife and sprinting up the steps for sure!

Caitable25 · March 2014

I literally think of this all.the.time. It freaks me the F out. I like to tell myself I would save my baby. But I would probs just soil myself and freeze

blairwitch · March 2014

I would probably go to the safest thought and that my mom is just checking in

And send the kids away for the night and have friends over for some ghost hunting

atlvol · March 2014

I would probably freeze and not be able to move.

I inspired a clicky poll, awesome!!!

. My son used to get upset in his room and refuse to go back in. I finally went in before bed one night and said I know that they may be family watching over him, but he couldn't talk to me well yet and they were scaring him. Never happened again.

If I saw it on a monitor? Take a pic, get baby, relocate baby to my room, call Ghost Hunters.

I have a deal with ghosts. They don't make themselves known to me and I don't comment on whether or not they are real.

However a similar situation is constantly on my mind. What would I do if I saw a mouse? I have panic attacks and have little to no self control when I see a mouse.

aehamilton13 · March 2014

Run out the front door here! (While yelling at DH to deal with it!)

Assume Leah invited her in? Creepy thing: our video monitor freezes the last pic. So, when we first turn it on after we lake Leah on, there is a baby on it. Then, baby disappears or relocates. It's creepy enough we do it as a party trick.

@casey78 Ours does that, too! Even though I know it does it, it still makes my heart flip when I go to check on her after I lay her down in the crib and it shows an empty crib. NOT good for anxiety.

(

Edit, also - I'd go in and sit with my baby. Someone here said that they once told the presence something like: "I know you are probably family and watching over us, but you are scaring the baby, so please go..." That stuck with me and makes sense, so I'd probably say something like that.

thegoodpotato · March 2014

Ghosts scare the crap out of me. I would send in the DH.

FFC: one time I was up late reading scary stories on reddit/nosleep. Marnie fell out of bed for the first time in the last 9mo or so, after we had turned out the lights.

Marnie has two closets in her bedroom. One closet contains the stairs to the attic (creepy). I just jumped up, then poked at DH until he woke up and I made him go put her back in bed.

It was an almighty thump that she made, and I wasn't risking it (sorry kid).

andrea0418 · March 2014

I pray every night for Jesus to protect my family and surround my home with his angels. So there aren't evil things in my house. The devil/demons run in the name of Jesus.

KTZ17 · March 2014

Omg this reminds me of something that happened a couple months ago...DH and I were downstairs in the basement watching a movie one night after DD had gone to bed. Her room is on the first floor, so it's essentially right above where we were sitting. Suddenly we heard footsteps walking quickly across the wood floor upstairs. DH and I looked at each other, terrified, and both booked it up the stairs. I was in front of DH and ran into her room. There was no one there and she was sleeping soundly. I made DH check every room and closet in the entire house. We were so scared. ETA there's a couple horror movies about baby monitors. There's this one Spanish movie where they see someone in their baby's room on the monitor. It's called The Baby's Room.

lrichmond86 · March 2014

SS... It would depend on the kind of ghost. In general I think that stuff is neat, but if it was a mean ghost I'd have to stop watching and get dd.

I can't tell if you're serious or not.

I'm 100% serious.
I believe in ghosts/demons/angels. And I also believe God will protect me.

emandia · March 2014

I totally believe in ghosts (I've had some shit happen). But I have no clue what I would really do if I saw that on the monitor! Probably wake up H.

reallylongusername · March 2014

I have a video monitor? Sweet!

I'd check her room, but hope it was just her grandma, or one of her great grandmas, great grandpas, or great aunts.

WanderingA · March 2014

Two nights ago was the first night that I put A to sleep in her own crib. I had a nightmare that there was a ghost in the house who didn't want me there and I was telling him that I respected him and just wanted him to leave me alone. I woke up suddenly unable to breathe and looked towards her door (across the hall from our room) and SWEAR I saw a dark patch (shadowdy-thing) go by it.

Andddd a dude died in her house before we bought it. Of an infected toenail...

giraffeluvspi · March 2014

I should not have caught up with this thread right before bed... Crap. DH is home tomorrow, I can make it one more night!

Lol, @EagleWife‌. I just caught up on the thread and saw your comment and was all excited. Picture me bouncing up and down seated on my bed, mentally raising my hand saying "it was me!" ha ha. I was scrolling to the end to tag you to share I had said that- and there was your comment.

Kitten80 · March 2014

@WanderingA‌ - that would freak me out. Sorry.

I was freaked out. I grew up in a really old house in a small New England town where I often had weird/unexplainable occurrences. I learned that if I said out loud "I acknowledge your presence, I respect you, and you are scaring me so please don't show yourself to me" they would usually stop.
