Do You Hear Ghost Baby Cries in the Night?

If you do hear baby ghost cries at night, you need serious help.

Ok, maybe you don't need that much help. But hearing baby cries that aren't really there is something my wife and I have experienced many times over the last year. And it wasn't something I ever expected. When I first started hearing ghost cries, I didn't know whether to call my psychiatrist or a paranormal expert.

It usually happens at night, or when he's napping. I'll be watching television, reading in bed or trying to sleep and I'll hear what I think is him crying. Then when I check the baby monitor, he's sound asleep, not even moving.




Oddly, the difference between the phantom cries and real cries is very noticeable. You'd think I would've learned to tell the difference by now. I haven't.

I think a large part of it stems from my overall paranoia about him not sleeping. When I hear him make real noises, like coughing, when he's in his crib, my stomach sinks and my anxiety level skyrockets.

I know when I'm really hearing phantom crying when I have my earplugs in and I can still hear "Waaa, waaa."

As he gets older it'll probably go away. Though I never thought in a million years that phantom baby cries were even possible. Other parents have told me they've had the same experience, but not many people talk about it. They probably don't want others to think they're crazy.

I'll chalk this one up to experience.
