I am one of those people who cannot, under any circumstances, watch scary movies. Little did I know that being a parent would force me to confront things like ghosts and monsters in my son's room.
One mom's scary, but also hilarious, post about a "ghost baby" has gone viral and I'm so glad I'm not the only mom out there who has been freaked out like this.
I don't mean scary in the stressful, sleep-deprived sense, either (although those things are also true).
I mean scary, in the sense that being so sleep-deprived causes you to hallucinate about things like demon babies or phantom cries.
Honestly, I don't know how parents survived the nights before these things were invented. They are life-savers, but they definitely have their drawbacks too.
Even though he looked adorable in his crib, I couldn't help but think he was going to start floating at any minute. I blame the creepy night vision optics.
Maritza Cibuls was watching her son on the baby monitor when she thought she spotted a ghost baby on the camera.
It definitely looks like there is a ghost baby snuggled up next to her son. Ahhhh!
"I was so freaked out, I barely slept. I even tried creeping in there with a flashlight while my son was sleeping," she said in her Facebook post.
"Well, this morning I go to investigate a bit further. It turns out my husband just forgot to put the mattress protector on when he changed the sheets," she said.
The "ghost baby" was actually just the stock photo from the mattress label underneath. LOL!
Many moms online related to this hilarious "ghost story".
Honestly, if it had been me, I don't know if I would have been able to laugh about it, so good for Maritza!
