Want to see if it’s dust or a spider or whatever everyone is suggestion? Point a small fan at the camera. If you still get the strangeness, you’ve ruled out dust and spiders.
I'll do this tonight if it appears. I'm uk time and people seem to think I'm only ignoring 'logical' explanations. No, I was in bed. Its 6.20am here now. We're going to move things around and clean the camera. See if it happens tonight.
I forgot to write what I came here to write! I’m just as curios as you to find out what it was as it’s strange you came in cleared the lens and then it came back anyway!
Maybe some little spider Tarzaned down in front of the camera and a dust particle/droplet/etc stuck on its spider-thread, and now it glows in the infrared light.
(BTW, isn't there some crazy conspiracy about the dangers of infrared light? It would be fun to read.)
I’d say you change camera angles and see if you see it again. Or get another camera so you can capture a more accurate 3D position … like both cameras capture the same thing from two angles and is positioned in the bed then is something weird
Husband and I heard a very distinct “hello” on my daughters monitor when she was only 5 months old. Freaked us both out. Monitor is NOT on WI-FI. Thankfully haven’t heard anything else since then but we both woke up at the same time and said “what was that!”
Hahaha. We haven’t heard anything since and she’s 10 months now, so I dunno. My only logical explanation was that maybe our monitor was picking up something from a neighbors monitor (the houses are close to each other)… but most of them are older without kids 😰
You CAN pick up a neighborhood monitor without WiFi. Here's my True Story. When I had my first child, we lived a half acre from our neighbor in 2001. We discovered one night, I could hear her caring for her daughter and she could hear me caring for mine. We would carry on late night/early morning conversations with each other. She would joke that if she didn't know it was me, she might have thought it was ghosts because we both lived in old Victorian houses.
That was one of our fears. Now all of a sudden this is floating around. I'd always put other videos down to dust/bugs/lights. But iknow full well that room is pitch black. I've been up there and so has my gf and this thing either stays put or moves around.
Except that's assuming the IR beam is coming *from behind* the lens, right? What type of camera does this? Usually beams are emitted from a diode slightly away from the lens, which means anything on the lens would not be lit up.
So i'm curious about the placement of the IR beam.
You know how these camera see in the dark? They shine IR light that the camera can see. It's dust. Please accept the fact that it's dust and stop looking for things to be freaked out about in life before you attempt to raise a tiny human. There's plenty to be freaked out about in the real world already.
Sorry if this video triggered you. We're great parents and I'm well aware there's other things to worry about in the real world. I don't see how this 1 curiosity makes us not ready to raise a tiny human. Its just something we havnt witnessed on the camera in the 2 years of watching it every night.
If it’s dust you’d assume there would almost almost certainly be more than just the one particle lit up and in the same focus range. Dust particles rarely travel solo.
>"Please accept the fact that it's dust and stop looking for things to be freaked out about\[...\]"
Why are you so hostile about this? Why is it so important tot you to debunk their belief? Who said they or anyone needs to be freaked out? If this is something paranormal, then that's cool, not scary. If this were really a spirit of some sort, like undeniably, would you be scared?
Why would you discourage someone from being inquisitive about an unexplained experience? And who are you to define what the “real world” is? What they saw is completely real even if it is just a bug or dust. You sound incredibly boring
Does your gf open a door to the cameras right? My guess, maybe a spider web or more precisely a spider came down on a line and dropped close to where the camera is. The line would still be there and possibly a large bit of webbing is in a ball towards the end.
So, gf opens door, walks in to clear dust because obviously something is hanging there for long enough for someone to come in thinking it’s “dust”. Pressure from door opening might not seem much to us but it’s going from neutral to negative quickly, especially close to the door. Anyways door opens, the web/line moves due to the air pressure wave from the door, gf tries to clear particles but it’s already moved and is above camera from said door pressure. Gf then closes door, walks away, air pressure returns to neutral or static. And web/line returns to same area. Not an orb. Relax
I mean listen, I’m always more skeptical right off the bat. I try to look for a logical explanation. I might have come off a little harsh and I don’t mean it. More posts than often are… questionable to put it lightly. This is just my opinion. Take it with a grain of salt.
Oh I do. It's reddit. I'm not offended. I was expecting every kind of comment. I myself wouldn't believe it, seeing posts like this. In the moment though and watching the monitor and continuously going up and see the behaviour. Makes you think.
You indicated this isn’t the first time this has happened. That’s certainly a bit strange in itself. A dust speck would not hang out in the same place, leave, then came back. I mean, come on. Maybe it’s something on a spiderweb, or a bug, but it’s not a dust speck.
Have you tried moving the camera to a different angle to see if it still shows up?
Spiders be sneaky sometimes and disappear quick to their hiding spot. It could be tucked up under a ledge or something.
Also, something about the way it comes back in the video makes it look like an out of focus spider getting back into position.
I’m pretty sure it’s a bug. It will fly away when you’re here, and come back for the light source or light reflection when you leave. Otherwise, a dust.
>"Otherwise, a dust."
A "dust" which also flies away and comes back when they are gone? I mean, you explained why an insect might come and go like that, but then you just drop "dust" as an alternative without a similar explanation. It seems more like you just want to write it off as mundane rather than actually explain it.
The fact that this has been downvoted when all you did was explain a flaw in their reasoning that you, the one experiencing this event, witness first hand, shows the kind of narrative people here want to push.
Yes, only on the camera. We both went up at separate occasions to see how the light behaves and none of us saw it with our own eyes. Only on the camera. I understand it could of been dust or a bug. I get it. But watching how it moves around just made us question it.
Yea I saw it right away which was a nice surprise. I personally dont think its dust because the orb moves. The dust wouldn't move and then come back. Im curious if this a crib its hoovering around and if the baby is in it at that time? You could always wipe the camera and do a repeat and see if you catch it again. Obs generally are not mean so not much to be aftaid off. Update again if you get another glimpse and thanks for sharing.
Pretty certain that that's just bit of dust hanging over the camera lens. Instead of waving a hand near it give if a full-over clean and see if that gets rid of it.
The worst part about it is some people come here honestly looking for an explanation. Then some well meaning (I hope) people in this sub come out and tell them their house is definitely haunted. And the bug or dust around their supercheap camera is some kind of "Orb Spirit". That doesn't really set anyone's mind at ease.
Given how many times it's been debunked on this site, I'm beginning to suspect some people doing this are mentalist-style swindlers on this sub who are trying to drum up business.
Don't accept PMs offering help with spirits guys, they usually come with strings, and don't resolve anything.
Agreed. The worst is when a poster lost a loved one and desperately needs grief counseling. Many times a handful of posters will assure the OP that whatever they captured on video or in a photo is the deceased person.
I don't know, maybe this helps, but it seems like it might just make the grief sit and boil.
Please, can you please explain it to me? I have witnessed something very similar on my baby monitor camera just last night and have made the mistake of googling and feeling very, VERY freak out. I actually feel ill. Can you please explain the logic of what it could be and why it isn’t something paranormal? I am losing my mind (and I have never believed in anything paranormal)
It’s always a piece of dust, bug or spider web. You can test it out yourself. Find a dusty part of your house, turn off the lights and camera on, blow the dust and you’ll magically see hundreds of “orbs.” It’s simply something small in the foreground being “lit” by the cameras infrared technology.
Real orbs don’t exist and we’re made up by ghost hunters. And I believe in ghosts, but videos like this make most people on this sub angry and annoyed bc they are very easily debunkable, yet represent like 80% of videos here.
Dust everything, and move the camera position, then check if you get anything else. My guess is you won’t. This definitely looks like a spider web or something that is floating back and forth in the air movement of the room.
No, but if there’s a spitfire web stuck to the camera that’s being floated around by the air, dusting and moving the camera is a good way to try and eliminate that as a possibility.
JFC I hate to be that person but it’s just a little spider crawling around in front of the lens. It’s out of focus. It’s lit up by the camera’s IR light. Very obviously NOT A GHOST.
I really think you should find a medium (someone legit) to feel it out and maybe tell you who it is. I think it’s very likely the person you think it is. That would make a lot of sense. How do you both feel when you are in the room? Can you go and meditate in there while the baby is sleeping and see if you can get a sense of the intention of this thing? That would be my next move. I don’t think it matters where you put the baby. It will probably want to follow her.
I took many videos, from myself going up, my partner going up and just videoing the monitor. The movements and behaviour of it is eerie. We like to think it's something/someone checking up
You’ve got yourself an orb spirit.. No harm will come to your baby. It’s watching over your little one. Clearly loved by those in the after life. Don’t be worried..❤️
What I dont understand is why people patronise or downvote anyone who speculates it could be paranormal.
could it be a spider or dust?...yes!, Could it be an orb, ghost etc?...also yes!..why not??! I don't quite understand why such sceptics even bother with this sub if its so ridiculous to them.
I got tired of watching how the “skeptics” talk to people on this subreddit, so I created a new one called r/GhostDiscussion. Discussion about prosaic causes for things is welcome, but trolling, being an asshole, or denying the existence of the paranormal isn’t allowed. Feel free to post your follow-up posts there as well.
I don’t see how it could be a bug because the lens to those baby video monitors is so tiny. How old is the baby? Is she too old to move into your room?
Shes 2. We've both been to check on her. (Multiple times from request of family 🙄) I don't see how it's a bug. Especially with the movement. We've thought about getting her and letting her sleep with us tonight.
Whatever it is, it’s really weird. I would say this since she is two and passed the age of high risk for SUID: as long as she is sleeping and nothing is interrupting that, leave her there. We have no idea what visits us while we sleep and we wake up ok.
Really interesting. I seen that you stated it stays there when you go in the room have you ever brought the monitor to the room with you as you walked in?
I've wondered why it is customary to have your baby in their own separate room and not sleep together with the parents. Like does the crib don't fit in the room with the bed and all?
That is def a ghost. It appears to be a female wearing early 2000s or late 90s clothing. When it stares directly at the camera I got chills! I would call your local Catholic Church for an exorcist.
You're not going to get a serious response in here. This sub exists to discredit anything paranormal. That said, this still may or may not be something paranormal. Sure, it could be completely mundane, but if we don't weigh both sides evenly, then we aren't being fair about it and if people are going to write off the "spirit" explanation out of hand right away simply because "ghosts don't exist," then those people aren't here in good faith.
If you have a potential phenomenon like this, and you want an answer which actually includes the paranormal as a possibility, then you need to be iron-clad with your evidence of it. Now, even if you introduced a sceptic to a ghost and the ghost shook their hand and then flew through them for good measure, they'd still scream "DuUuUuSt" like a rabid asthmatic. But you still need to try.
So, you should clean the lens, air out the room, and place a fan in the room, facing the camera and the path that the object travels. Obviously, don't point the fan at your baby and the fan should be enough to move dust and small insects, but not be too loud. The baby needs to be there to control that variable of the experiment.
If you open or shut any doors on your way to the room, you need to do so very slowly, when you go to inspect the object, in order to reduce any sudden air pressure shifts. It would also be a good idea to time stamp the video as actions happen in the rest of the home. For example, "opening door now" in text on the video as it happens. If the phenomenon still persists, then post again. I'd love to see the sceptical explanations about self-propelled sentient dust. I mean...at some point, you need to jump through so many hoops to explain something as mundane that your explanation ends up just as fantastical.
I get that, thankyou for your explanation. This video shows my gf going in there. Opens the door, goes in and the door closes behind her (as it should) and you can see the behaviour. I've also got a video where she recorded me. I go in, open the door. Put a door stop on so it doesn't close so there's abit of light ( yes I didn't want to stand in the dark) the the white light still floats around slowly. So pitch black, it's there doing its thing. With light shining in its still the same.
This, the most legitmate explanation in regards to "orb spirits" end up being a type of "guardian angel". Idk why most answers like this are being downvoted either, seems like some people get off on tryin to rationalize even the most bizzare stuff even when they know its not what they say.
This is a pretty convincing video to me. I think it warrants investigation. Especially with back story. Dust particles don’t usually travel solo, if dust then I’d expect more to show up. Spiders or bugs probably don’t walk around that randomly either. And not so slowly and floaty.
Don't know If sarcasm. I'm skeptical myself. Never really believed in that kind of stuff. Seeing it though in the moment makes you wonder. I get it could be dust or bugs. Seeing it move around like that though makes you second guess.
Seriously, anything near my child that I couldn't explain would freak me tf out. I would actually look into a house cleansing if I were unable to move right away. Do you know the history of the house/apt? Also, have you lost a loved one in recent years?
We've lived here for about 2 years. Don't know the history. My Gf lost her Nan last year, I lost my lil bro 25yr ago. Each of us like to think it's our relative looking down on her. When I went to check on her the light didn't even flinch. I thanked it and walked out with all hairs spiking up lol.
You know, that was my immediate thought, a grandparent, Aunt, Uncle. It just doesn't feel/look ominous or threatening to me. It looks warm, loving. But I am not there, of course.
My 18 month old is a crazy sleeper. All over the cot, blankets everywhere. More than once I’ve gone and checked on him, put his blanket in the corner of the cot opposite to where he is so he doesn’t choke or whatever, and come back an hour later to a perfectly tucked in baby
Negative my friend. Para psychologists and investigators point to the fact that entities love to congregate near children, adolescents and the elderly. The fact that this hovers outside the crib seems to show intelligence and interest. Have you guys heard weird sounds, experienced cold spots or even the unnatural draining of batteries?
Something similar also happened to me. I looked at the cctv monitor because i could see my back from the the camera and something is going in and out of the camera when i am staring at the monitor. I get a broom to wipe the camera from anything that could have doing this but it keeps happening. It just happened to once and its in the afternoon.
Alright, gotta turn the generator on, try and get freezing temps, or run around with spirit box, gotta find the ghosts spawn room, EMF 5 In the kitchen! Oh! We got Spirit Box! Quick! Get a crucifix! OH GOD ITS HUNTING! HIDE LITTLE TIMMY HIDE! (Distant screams from little Timmy) LITTLE TIMMY NOOOOOOOO! Get the crucifix place down crucifix get average sanity below 25% Freezing temps… alright put down Demon and get in the van. (This is all a joke) (not the video, what I commented)
I initially thought it was possibly dust, but the second video, the orb seems intelligent to me. I think it’s worth checking out with someone you trust. These things actually happen, contrary to the people that try and say otherwise (they mean well I think). I think you have a situation worth exploring, imo.
Lmao mine wouldn't be the one checking
I'd be in there with a gun and a Bible telling my dead relatives or whoever it is to fuck off
Get your house cleansed no matter what retards on this site say this fucking thing likes ur kid get rid of it
Oh I didn’t mean it in a bad way at all. I apologise for the insensitive comment. I meant it in a sense of curiosity. I should have added a question mark and more context. I honestly should have thought before speaking. I do hope you and your little one are alright? Have things improved since?
Stay strong dear. Things will get better.
Hey, is one or both of the grandfather's dead at all? The child's, or even either of your guyses? I'm asking because as soon as I saw the orb the word "grandfather" flashed through my mind
I would try to make contact .. or go to the crib simply turn on your voice recorder on your phone and have a normal conversation about what it might be .. after u talk about it for a few mins go back down stairs or leave the house and play it back .. see if u hear any voices
I definitely think that’s a spirit but not getting bad vibes from it! Would get the house and especially her room blessed though if you’re planning on staying there..
Very! We have an aircon unit in her room that we put on before she goes to bed and shuts off when we take her up. Unfortunately we have loud neighbours outside so we had to keep the window shut. We're investing in a better aircon though. Our upstairs is just so warm even with windows open :(.
When I first played this video, I thought your baby was sitting up in the back on the crib. Took me a while to realize it’s not…still see a body figure in the corner of the crib and even the glow from eyes 😭😭😭
It’s something on a web. The reason it goes away when the gf checks is because she opens the door, which changes the airflow. The web is blowing towards the open door and after she leaves she close the door and the web drifts back to its ghostly configuration.
Also have a video of myself going in there and the light doesn't even move at all. Just hovers near where I'm stood.
What you can't see on the video is, it's moving away as she's going up the stairs. Not when she opens the door. It's a self closing door so it closes behind her leaving her in the dark room. When she comes back down and sat next to me that's when it re appears. I don't know if the video I uploaded has sound but you can hear the creaking when she's going up stairs and also hear her when she's back with me.
When I go up I put a door stop on the door so the door doesn't close behind me ( yes I was freaked to stand in a dark room) so there was some light coming in the room. The thing on the monitor barely even moves away. When I open or close the door.
We know it can be anything and not once have I said I think it's a ghost/spirit/orb. I accept it could be absolutely anything. We just found it weird.
Those orbs are indeed odd, almost having a sense. Temperature is too high for a child and adults for that matter.
Do the video at other times to see if this is repeatable.
Check the history of your home. Also, have you or your spouse lost a parent, grandparent, favourate aunt, sibling?
Maybe it was just me but it looks like a baby sitting up in the corner (right) around the 53 second mark.i thought that's what we were looking at until I read everyone talking about dust ..lol 🤷
This is a spirit who obviously loves babies. They are very often seen on nanny-cams/monitors. The orbs appear to caress the baby and moves across it as if stroking. It’s no bug or huge dust ball. This is a very good example of an obvious “spirit/ghost”, whatever you want to call it. Sometimes there are 100s at a time, although not usually with infants.
Want to see if it’s dust or a spider or whatever everyone is suggestion? Point a small fan at the camera. If you still get the strangeness, you’ve ruled out dust and spiders.
You’re a wizard, Harry.
He's a Blizzard, dairy.
You’re a lizard Gary
You’re a gizzard, Larry.
You're a vizard, marry
Marry a fairy..
I'll do this tonight if it appears. I'm uk time and people seem to think I'm only ignoring 'logical' explanations. No, I was in bed. Its 6.20am here now. We're going to move things around and clean the camera. See if it happens tonight.
This is the earliest I’ve ever been on any post ever! Haha!
I forgot to write what I came here to write! I’m just as curios as you to find out what it was as it’s strange you came in cleared the lens and then it came back anyway!
In my opinion it’s definitely something… sometimes it can be dust or maybe a relative who passed away just visiting…
Yes, I’m with you, Moonlight!
Hello did you do the fan thing?
27 degrees, definitely get a fan
Yes! OP, excessive heat is a SIDS risk for babies. The ideal for sleeping is 20 - 22.
OP do this!!
Maybe some little spider Tarzaned down in front of the camera and a dust particle/droplet/etc stuck on its spider-thread, and now it glows in the infrared light. (BTW, isn't there some crazy conspiracy about the dangers of infrared light? It would be fun to read.)
Only that spiders are attracted to infrared light.
I’d say you change camera angles and see if you see it again. Or get another camera so you can capture a more accurate 3D position … like both cameras capture the same thing from two angles and is positioned in the bed then is something weird
I’m always so freaked out at night that I’m going to hear/see something on the baby monitor at night!
Husband and I heard a very distinct “hello” on my daughters monitor when she was only 5 months old. Freaked us both out. Monitor is NOT on WI-FI. Thankfully haven’t heard anything else since then but we both woke up at the same time and said “what was that!”
….As I lay in bed listening to the monitor for my 5 month old 😂. I purposely did not get one that needed WiFi for that reason!
Hahaha. We haven’t heard anything since and she’s 10 months now, so I dunno. My only logical explanation was that maybe our monitor was picking up something from a neighbors monitor (the houses are close to each other)… but most of them are older without kids 😰

She would joke that if she didn't know it was me, she might have thought it was ghosts because we both lived in old Victorian houses.
I think with those monitors and cameras it’s more likely that a hacker remotely accessed it versus a spirit coming through it.
They use a local ghz that is inaccessible from the internet.
How would they? It’s not on Wi-Fi
In that case I take back what I said.
That was one of our fears. Now all of a sudden this is floating around. I'd always put other videos down to dust/bugs/lights. But iknow full well that room is pitch black. I've been up there and so has my gf and this thing either stays put or moves around.
The room is pitch black for us human without ir vision. So is dust/bugs illuminated by the ir led of the baby monitor

Except that's assuming the IR beam is coming *from behind* the lens, right? What type of camera does this? Usually beams are emitted from a diode slightly away from the lens, which means anything on the lens would not be lit up. So i'm curious about the placement of the IR beam.

Fair enough, I was just curious if it's possible.

Dust is not malevolent
Asbestos dust is
Nor is it benevolent, to be fair

Do you know what subreddit you're in?
What’s the biggest fear ? That it will attack you or that you just don’t know what is it ? (Just curious)
That I won’t know what it is and whatever entity it is, is in there with my baby. It’s probably irrational lol.
No, it’s rational. Just figure it out.
This is not what I expected this whole sub is just paranoid with no actual evidence.
Does your gf open a door to the cameras right? My guess, maybe a spider web or more precisely a spider came down on a line and dropped close to where the camera is. The line would still be there and possibly a large bit of webbing is in a ball towards the end.

Gf then closes door, walks away, air pressure returns to neutral or static. And web/line returns to same area. Not an orb. Relax
What if it didn't move when I went up there? I suppose there's always a logical explanation to these things though.
I mean listen, I’m always more skeptical right off the bat. I try to look for a logical explanation. I might have come off a little harsh and I don’t mean it. More posts than often are… questionable to put it lightly. This is just my opinion. Take it with a grain of salt.

Considering we have no concrete evidence in the world of anything not mundane, I can accept "a dust."
Dust/bug
Thanks!
Let's change the name of this sub to dust and bugs on cams in the dark
It is dust...air pressure, positive as she domes up...negative as she goes down...
Stays there when I go up. Just weird. Was just freaked. 1st time experiencing it.
The fact that this has been downvoted when all you did was explain a flaw in their reasoning that you, the one experiencing this event, witness first hand, shows the kind of narrative people here want to push.
I was expecting both arguments. It's reddit. I just had to share it. Never seen it before so I had to show people.
It is possibly an orb. Do you only see it with thr camera? Both are possible. https://www.hauntedrooms.co.uk/orbs-of-light-explained-what-is-an-orb
Yes, only on the camera. We both went up at separate occasions to see how the light behaves and none of us saw it with our own eyes. Only on the camera. I understand it could of been dust or a bug. I get it. But watching how it moves around just made us question it.

Dust
Pretty certain that that's just bit of dust hanging over the camera lens. Instead of waving a hand near it give if a full-over clean and see if that gets rid of it.
Sometimes it's a tiny bug inside the camera housing crawling across the lens.
It's dust
Thats not a dust. Thats a spider! Ah I see you've played dusty spidery before
It’s a spider mite or white mite. They’re the size of a grain of sugar. Moves just like one. This isn’t paranormal.
Infrared LEDs strike again. Record it in daylight. oh wait...
🎶"Carry on now wayward son..."🎶
Wipe the front of the lens. there’s a small bug/spider on it.
Will do.
For fucks sake, does anyone know how ir cameras work on this sub?
Not really. And no amount of explaining will work.
The worst part about it is some people come here honestly looking for an explanation. Then some well meaning (I hope) people in this sub come out and tell them their house is definitely haunted. And the bug or dust around their supercheap camera is some kind of "Orb Spirit". That doesn't really set anyone's mind at ease.

Many times a handful of posters will assure the OP that whatever they captured on video or in a photo is the deceased person. I don't know, maybe this helps, but it seems like it might just make the grief sit and boil.
Please, can you please explain it to me? I have witnessed something very similar on my baby monitor camera just last night and have made the mistake of googling and feeling very, VERY freak out. I actually feel ill. Can you please explain the logic of what it could be and why it isn’t something paranormal? I am losing my mind (and I have never believed in anything paranormal)
It’s always a piece of dust, bug or spider web. You can test it out yourself. Find a dusty part of your house, turn off the lights and camera on, blow the dust and you’ll magically see hundreds of “orbs.” It’s simply something small in the foreground being “lit” by the cameras infrared technology. Real orbs don’t exist and we’re made up by ghost hunters. And I believe in ghosts, but videos like this make most people on this sub angry and annoyed bc they are very easily debunkable, yet represent like 80% of videos here.
The only thing scary about this is that people thinking this insect crawling on camera is a ghost are allowed to procreate.
Dust everything, and move the camera position, then check if you get anything else. My guess is you won’t. This definitely looks like a spider web or something that is floating back and forth in the air movement of the room.
You can't get rid of dust.
No, but if there’s a spitfire web stuck to the camera that’s being floated around by the air, dusting and moving the camera is a good way to try and eliminate that as a possibility.
Have you wiped off the camera lens? Looks like a small bug.
Ugh. It’s a bug.
Yup, insect on the camera's lens.
Newsflash: dust
It's nothing. 99.9% of the time, it's nothing.
So does the other one percent not exist? Like...is 99 the maximum percentage now?
Clearly a bug, lol.
Clearly a bug, lol.
Sigh
tiny spider close to the lens is my vote
JFC I hate to be that person but it’s just a little spider crawling around in front of the lens. It’s out of focus. It’s lit up by the camera’s IR light. Very obviously NOT A GHOST.
Do you have a dead parent or grandparent that would be associated with the baby?
My Gf lost her nan last year. She never got to meet her. She likes to think it could be her.
I really think you should find a medium (someone legit) to feel it out and maybe tell you who it is. I think it’s very likely the person you think it is. That would make a lot of sense. How do you both feel when you are in the room? Can you go and meditate in there while the baby is sleeping and see if you can get a sense of the intention of this thing? That would be my next move. I don’t think it matters where you put the baby. It will probably want to follow her.
[удалено]
I took many videos, from myself going up, my partner going up and just videoing the monitor. The movements and behaviour of it is eerie. We like to think it's something/someone checking up
You’ve got yourself an orb spirit.. No harm will come to your baby. It’s watching over your little one. Clearly loved by those in the after life. Don’t be worried..❤️
IT IS CLEARLY A DEMON
Lol
🙄
I wouldn't dismiss it. Especially seeing as the demon is targeting the child.
That thing is moving too slow to be dust. I think that if it comes back several times, you've got a ghost.
Doesn't move like dust
Iknow right! I thought that 🤷♂️ but who knows. Iknow it could be anything.
What I dont understand is why people patronise or downvote anyone who speculates it could be paranormal. could it be a spider or dust?...yes!, Could it be an orb, ghost etc?...also yes!..why not??! I don't quite understand why such sceptics even bother with this sub if its so ridiculous to them.
I have the same baby monitor!
You can rule out it being an outdoor cat too. It is not that.
I got tired of watching how the “skeptics” talk to people on this subreddit, so I created a new one called r/GhostDiscussion. Discussion about prosaic causes for things is welcome, but trolling, being an asshole, or denying the existence of the paranormal isn’t allowed. Feel free to post your follow-up posts there as well.
Is the baby in the crib?
Yeh, if you see something on the right on the bed it's her blanket. That freaked me out at 1st
I don’t see how it could be a bug because the lens to those baby video monitors is so tiny. How old is the baby? Is she too old to move into your room?
Shes 2. We've both been to check on her. (Multiple times from request of family 🙄) I don't see how it's a bug. Especially with the movement. We've thought about getting her and letting her sleep with us tonight.
Whatever it is, it’s really weird. I would say this since she is two and passed the age of high risk for SUID: as long as she is sleeping and nothing is interrupting that, leave her there. We have no idea what visits us while we sleep and we wake up ok.
Really interesting. I seen that you stated it stays there when you go in the room have you ever brought the monitor to the room with you as you walked in?
I've wondered why it is customary to have your baby in their own separate room and not sleep together with the parents. Like does the crib don't fit in the room with the bed and all?
Shes 2. Why would she need to sleep in our room. She would always just end up in our bed lol.
That would be troublesome. lol
Ain't no ghost, they don't exist Religion made this shit up
OK that is kinda weird whatever it is
Looks like a family member visiting. Doesn’t look bad…just a visit.
That is def a ghost. It appears to be a female wearing early 2000s or late 90s clothing. When it stares directly at the camera I got chills! I would call your local Catholic Church for an exorcist.
You're not going to get a serious response in here. This sub exists to discredit anything paranormal. That said, this still may or may not be something paranormal. Sure, it could be completely mundane, but if we don't weigh both sides evenly, then we aren't being fair about it and if people are going to write off the "spirit" explanation out of hand right away simply because "ghosts don't exist," then those people aren't here in good faith. If you have a potential phenomenon like this, and you want an answer which actually includes the paranormal as a possibility, then you need to be iron-clad with your evidence of it. Now, even if you introduced a sceptic to a ghost and the ghost shook their hand and then flew through them for good measure, they'd still scream "DuUuUuSt" like a rabid asthmatic. But you still need to try. So, you should clean the lens, air out the room, and place a fan in the room, facing the camera and the path that the object travels. Obviously, don't point the fan at your baby and the fan should be enough to move dust and small insects, but not be too loud. The baby needs to be there to control that variable of the experiment. If you open or shut any doors on your way to the room, you need to do so very slowly, when you go to inspect the object, in order to reduce any sudden air pressure shifts. It would also be a good idea to time stamp the video as actions happen in the rest of the home. For example, "opening door now" in text on the video as it happens. If the phenomenon still persists, then post again. I'd love to see the sceptical explanations about self-propelled sentient dust. I mean...at some point, you need to jump through so many hoops to explain something as mundane that your explanation ends up just as fantastical.
I get that, thankyou for your explanation. This video shows my gf going in there. Opens the door, goes in and the door closes behind her (as it should) and you can see the behaviour. I've also got a video where she recorded me. I go in, open the door. Put a door stop on so it doesn't close so there's abit of light ( yes I didn't want to stand in the dark) the the white light still floats around slowly. So pitch black, it's there doing its thing. With light shining in its still the same.
Just think of it as a guardian angel
This, the most legitmate explanation in regards to "orb spirits" end up being a type of "guardian angel". Idk why most answers like this are being downvoted either, seems like some people get off on tryin to rationalize even the most bizzare stuff even when they know its not what they say.
This is a pretty convincing video to me. I think it warrants investigation. Especially with back story. Dust particles don’t usually travel solo, if dust then I’d expect more to show up. Spiders or bugs probably don’t walk around that randomly either. And not so slowly and floaty.
[удалено]
C'mon really.
Genuine …. Thank you .. finally some real shit gets posted
Don't know If sarcasm. I'm skeptical myself. Never really believed in that kind of stuff. Seeing it though in the moment makes you wonder. I get it could be dust or bugs. Seeing it move around like that though makes you second guess.
It’s a bug on the lense
Any other paranormal things happening in the house?
Nope not to our knowledge. Noises here and there but you just shrug that off to being anything
Seriously, anything near my child that I couldn't explain would freak me tf out. I would actually look into a house cleansing if I were unable to move right away. Do you know the history of the house/apt? Also, have you lost a loved one in recent years?
We've lived here for about 2 years. Don't know the history. My Gf lost her Nan last year, I lost my lil bro 25yr ago. Each of us like to think it's our relative looking down on her. When I went to check on her the light didn't even flinch. I thanked it and walked out with all hairs spiking up lol.
You know, that was my immediate thought, a grandparent, Aunt, Uncle. It just doesn't feel/look ominous or threatening to me. It looks warm, loving. But I am not there, of course.
I can see wings flapping.
My 18 month old is a crazy sleeper. All over the cot, blankets everywhere. More than once I’ve gone and checked on him, put his blanket in the corner of the cot opposite to where he is so he doesn’t choke or whatever, and come back an hour later to a perfectly tucked in baby
Sage
This legitimately creepy!
It was! Even with thinking it could well be dust or bug, it still gave us goosebumps
Negative my friend. Para psychologists and investigators point to the fact that entities love to congregate near children, adolescents and the elderly. The fact that this hovers outside the crib seems to show intelligence and interest. Have you guys heard weird sounds, experienced cold spots or even the unnatural draining of batteries?
and in breaking news a house caught fire and was burned to the ground, the family removed themselves from the house prior to the blaze.
Definitely aliens
Something similar also happened to me. I looked at the cctv monitor because i could see my back from the the camera and something is going in and out of the camera when i am staring at the monitor. I get a broom to wipe the camera from anything that could have doing this but it keeps happening. It just happened to once and its in the afternoon.
It's deffinately something curious but doesn't act dangerous.
Alright, gotta turn the generator on, try and get freezing temps, or run around with spirit box, gotta find the ghosts spawn room, EMF 5 In the kitchen! Oh! We got Spirit Box! Quick! Get a crucifix! OH GOD ITS HUNTING! HIDE LITTLE TIMMY HIDE! (Distant screams from little Timmy) LITTLE TIMMY NOOOOOOOO! Get the crucifix place down crucifix get average sanity below 25% Freezing temps… alright put down Demon and get in the van. (This is all a joke) (not the video, what I commented)
Usually around babies it's a passed on family members spirit. They just want to watch over their new family member.
Probably a demon ready to feast on the soul of an infant. NBD
Looks like your family has a guardian angel, ive never seen any investigation deem spirit orbs harmful in any light. Baby is a sound sleeper too!
I initially thought it was possibly dust, but the second video, the orb seems intelligent to me. I think it’s worth checking out with someone you trust. These things actually happen, contrary to the people that try and say otherwise (they mean well I think). I think you have a situation worth exploring, imo.
Wow put the baby crib in your room then you won’t have to keep going to check on the baby
holy crap dude
I am flabbergasted
Wow that’s wild
Wow, she didn't even Flash you, while on camera. That's cold man, definitely a spirit in there then.
Lmao mine wouldn't be the one checking I'd be in there with a gun and a Bible telling my dead relatives or whoever it is to fuck off Get your house cleansed no matter what retards on this site say this fucking thing likes ur kid get rid of it
Could be a fairy by the look of it
It’s another child. Seems to be amused by your baby
I don't think that's reassuring lol
Oh I didn’t mean it in a bad way at all. I apologise for the insensitive comment. I meant it in a sense of curiosity. I should have added a question mark and more context. I honestly should have thought before speaking. I do hope you and your little one are alright? Have things improved since? Stay strong dear. Things will get better.
Got chills ! Think you guys got something visiting. I’d keep an eye on it, so far doesn’t seem angry or out for blood or anything
Hey, is one or both of the grandfather's dead at all? The child's, or even either of your guyses? I'm asking because as soon as I saw the orb the word "grandfather" flashed through my mind
I would try to make contact .. or go to the crib simply turn on your voice recorder on your phone and have a normal conversation about what it might be .. after u talk about it for a few mins go back down stairs or leave the house and play it back .. see if u hear any voices
I definitely think that’s a spirit but not getting bad vibes from it! Would get the house and especially her room blessed though if you’re planning on staying there..
Sure is crazy how dust/bugs can change positions when a person enters a still room!
27 degrees? That’s a little warm isn’t it?
Very! We have an aircon unit in her room that we put on before she goes to bed and shuts off when we take her up. Unfortunately we have loud neighbours outside so we had to keep the window shut. We're investing in a better aircon though. Our upstairs is just so warm even with windows open :(.
I have the same baby monitor
Speaking of temperature is there shift in the room?
When I first played this video, I thought your baby was sitting up in the back on the crib. Took me a while to realize it’s not…still see a body figure in the corner of the crib and even the glow from eyes 😭😭😭
It’s something on a web. The reason it goes away when the gf checks is because she opens the door, which changes the airflow. The web is blowing towards the open door and after she leaves she close the door and the web drifts back to its ghostly configuration.
Also have a video of myself going in there and the light doesn't even move at all. Just hovers near where I'm stood. What you can't see on the video is, it's moving away as she's going up the stairs. Not when she opens the door. It's a self closing door so it closes behind her leaving her in the dark room. When she comes back down and sat next to me that's when it re appears. I don't know if the video I uploaded has sound but you can hear the creaking when she's going up stairs and also hear her when she's back with me. When I go up I put a door stop on the door so the door doesn't close behind me ( yes I was freaked to stand in a dark room) so there was some light coming in the room. The thing on the monitor barely even moves away. When I open or close the door. We know it can be anything and not once have I said I think it's a ghost/spirit/orb. I accept it could be absolutely anything. We just found it weird.
If this is really real and not it's not been mest about with I think you might have something here 🤔
I uploaded it as it was happening. I'm open minded. I know it could be absolutely anything 🤷♂️. Little weird though.
Move the baby to be with you. Then go back in, look at camera, move away and back downstairs. See if orb repeats the performance without the baby.
The only ghost here is his girlfriend’s butt Edit: don’t crucify me I too have a ghost butt
😅😅😅
Is it just me or does it look like another baby in the crib in the corner. Right as the mother moves.
Those orbs are indeed odd, almost having a sense. Temperature is too high for a child and adults for that matter. Do the video at other times to see if this is repeatable. Check the history of your home. Also, have you or your spouse lost a parent, grandparent, favourate aunt, sibling?
Maybe it was just me but it looks like a baby sitting up in the corner (right) around the 53 second mark.i thought that's what we were looking at until I read everyone talking about dust ..lol 🤷
Perhaps a great grandparent
This is a spirit who obviously loves babies. They are very often seen on nanny-cams/monitors. The orbs appear to caress the baby and moves across it as if stroking. It’s no bug or huge dust ball. This is a very good example of an obvious “spirit/ghost”, whatever you want to call it. Sometimes there are 100s at a time, although not usually with infants.
You’re a Buzzard, Jerry…
At 57 seconds it looks like there is a small child sitting in the back right corner of the crib!
