I had a ghost n my house last night

[jpak]

The cats woke me up after midnight.

As I lay dozing, I heard a woman's voice murmur something.

I thought "Did I really hear that?" and dozed off again.

A little while later I heard it again - a woman's voice - but I could not tell if it was outside the house or inside.

Then I heard it again! IT WAS INSIDE HE HOUSE!

Again a woman's voice murmuring something I could not make out.

I got up, and walked around the first floor.

I heard it again! IT WAS UPSTAIRS!!!!!

I grabbed a baseball bat and slowly made my way to the top of the stairs.

THEN I HEARD IT AGAIN!

































The Voice said "Batteries low" "Change batteries now"

IT WAS THE SMOKE ALARM!!!!!!111111

1. Ghosts will often use that phrase

to trick you into coming up the stairs.
I hope you didn't put down the bat.

Instead of the insistant ear shattering bleating.

4. That's a fancy smoke alarm.

My smoke alarms will only emit an annoying chirp until I change the batteries. Coincidentally, I’ve considered having a baseball bat handy for them too!

5. Did ya whack it with the bat?

6. Naw, I changed the fucking batteries

Too much Psychomagnotheric Slime to deal with if I smacked it with the bat.

7. I have a resident house ghost.

With some regularity my will cats alert on the presence of an unseen stranger. They will awake from a sound sleep and pinpoint on the long, dark hallway, tails lashing to and fro and sometimes standing up on their hind legs to focus on something only they can see.

I label it a ghost because the incidents are unexplainable, but maybe it's just a mouse scurrying in the walls. Who knows, of course I can't see or hear anything, but it makes my blood run cold to see my cats behavior in the dark of night when I'm alone. I rely on my dog for protection, but she never reacts to whatever the cats are looking at.

Yup

9. Smoke alarm batteries seem programmed to always fail after midnight!

How do they do that?

11. My smoke alarms just beep annoyingly until I change the batteries.

But that's not nearly as creepy as a disembodied voice in the middle of the night.

12. I would welcome the "chirp"

over creepy shit in the middle of the night.

Yup
