Ashleigh has been in bed for about 15 mins but I am upstairs on the computer (her room is downstairs) and I can hear a kid crying. So just went down to check her and she is just playing with her doll but not crying. So come back upstairs and can still hear the crying - go into our room and the crying is coming through the monitor. So I listen... and its definately not Ashleigh's cry (sounds like a young baby, plus coughing) and then I remember that her monitor isn't even plugged in cos I unplugged it this morning to use the plug for the dehumidifer in her room!! I hate freaky stuff like that  I know its obviously picking up a signal from someone elses monitor but I'm sure there aren't any little kids that live around here - the youngest seems to be about 3. I'm gonna switch it off now - its bad enough having to listen to your own child scream - without being subjected to someone elses lol!------------- Kelly, mum to DD, 19Jun06 (26wks 1lb15oz) DS1, 24Oct10 (32wks 4lb11oz) and DS2, 31Dec11 (32wks, 4lb11) http://lilypie.com">

Oh I hate things like that too! I just hope that the crying stops coming thru after you turn it off!  If it continued then I'd be slightly concerned.
Hope she goes to sleep for you soon. ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

I was spooked out by that a while back - it came through in the middle of the night, but our boy was sound asleep. Not pleasant when you're in a sleepy haze
Changed the frequency on the monitor and the ghost baby disappeared, much to my relief!  -------------

We have had that happen too and we also don't have any young kids nearby. Like monster we changed the frequency and that fixed the problem. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

When we had our 1st Plunket visit she asked us if we had a monitor as the other mums in my street were experiencing interference between them.
Sure would freak me out |

Creeepy. Even though I'm sure there's a rational explanation. Reminds me of that trashy ghostie program on TV2 a while back where the parents were both in bed and heard the father singing a lullaby through the monitor - something he'd done that afternoon.
One of my coffee group girls heard her neighbour discussing finances with her partner. She switched the channel straight away but still felt a bit stink. -------------
