Ok first of all, about 5 years ago my grandma passed away and afterwards my uncle was thining her stuff out, i got a few things of hers, just little things to remember her by. She always had this duck on her mantle, so i thought, what the hell ill take that. Its like a little music box you wind up, with a duck on it...not very decorative but i wanted it.
Anywho Ive had this thing for the last 5 years and its followed me everywhere, never wound it up to hear the music, or handled it much, it just sits out wherever i currently live. Ive been in my current apartment for a year or so and it sits on a window ledge. Im relaxing on the couch with my girlfriend who was on her laptop. All of a sudden, we hear music. We both look around and realize it wasnt the tv or neighbor...it was coming from the duck! We instantly got freaked out by it. It didnt play just for a second, it played for about 25-30 seconds or so. I havent touched it since i moved in. The song was real slow, sad and very vintage sounding. Could it be a ghost? Could it be a fluke and it just started playing? i dont know how it could since it has to be wound to play the song. I dont know, that was very odd to experience that, and Im still a little freaked out as to how or why it happened. |

Any coincidence between the day she died and the day it played?
Shit like that freak me out - in a good way. I love ghost stories and can't get enough of Ghost Adventures, despite the douchiness of Zack Baggins. There is something to spiritual energy. |

Probably has something to do with the shifting magnetic fields....

Sorry, I don't buy into ghosts. However, temperature changes can have an affect on spring operated mechanisms. It's possible there was tension in the spring and the box has been sitting on a window ledge. The tension could have released causing the music to play.
I'm sure that someone who fully understands the relationships between temperature and simple mechanical devices could explain it better.

I have a (actually rather uncommon) Trilogy carded Black Gate Aragorn from the old Toybiz Lord of the Rings line that will occasionally freak me out by waking me up in the middle of the night. It has one of those voice chips in it and it screams, rather loudly for a toy, LET THE LORD OF THE BLACK LAND COME FORTH, LET JUSTICE BE DONE UPON HIM.
I've no idea what causes it to go off. But it does.
