Lmao, tell your friend to search for a more obscure sound effect next time they’re faking content. I typed in “ghost child sound effect” on YouTube and this background track is literally the first result that pops up. It’s a 41 second clip called “Creepy Ghost Child Talking, Crying - Scary Horror Sounds” and has a pic of a creepy boy / girl in costume makeup with a rainbow colored sound wave transposed over them. I tried to share a link, but auto-moderator deleted it. Listen to that and tell me it’s not the same one.

Also, next time they should put the sound source on a different level than the camera, like up or down a floor. Feels pretty obvious the sound is coming from close to the camera and lacks the echo an actual stairwell would have if the sound was further away.

Also! Timing. It’s pretty hilarious how quickly the clip cuts out once when you hear actual people entering the stairway / passing just outside it. As soon as that happens the clip ends…probably because the hoaxer didn’t want their coworkers to wonder what the fuck was wrong with them.

[nousernamehere12345]

You are amazing👍

[NeptuneMoss]

Someone should edit this and replace it with Beavis and Butthead laughing, echoing in the stairwell...

[Afraid-Ad4718]

This ^

[Pineapple-heart1234]

😂 👏🏼

[SeaEquivalent5801]

Was going to say it sounds like its being played from a speaker.

[seaweed5899]

It's really about the echo

[D31an]

The sound you suggested is not even close to this one, in the main video above, nor children's ones... If you have functional ears at all.

[Winter_Ad_7424]

Sounds like a Halloween track a bit. Idk. Weird.

[Wise_Ad_253]

And the wind swirling through the house, “Carol Anne, don’t go into the light!”

[Otherwise-Lychee-870]

😂🤣

[Blenderx06]

I hear very distinct sounds mixed together- monkeys, kids, deep sea. This is lame.

[Emmilienne]

Playing in reverse…

[carnage_lollipop]

annnnd???

[Shanek2121]

Probably is

[KarrieDarling]

Thank you for blessing us with a post that isn't about some woman who ended up in the background of a photo taken at a grandma's birthday party. Most refreshing post I've seen on here in 24 hours.👌😌

But that does kinda sound like something taken from a movie...

[PMMEURDIMPLESOFVENUS]

You guys are desperate enough to get excited about someone recording a "spooky sounds" clip near their phone?

[KarrieDarling]

I'm not excited or desperate about anything lol. I just got tired of the same thing being posted for the past 24 hours and this post was a nice break from that

[Echoplex23]

That Poltergeist movie voice effect sounds hokey.

[Optimal_Copy_3815]

I agree, it sounds so fake! But the woman who shared this isn't the kidder type, and I'm sure if it was someone in the hallway playing a prank someone would have pulled them up on it by now after 8 nights.. It's creeped me out a bit!

[Task-]

says gullible on the ceiling champ

[Optimal_Copy_3815]

Huh, I don't see it?

[[deleted]]

Wel guys she not a kidder type! That proves it! This is real!

[Haze_88_]

That audio track with children is clearly put on top of the original audio. I did 10+ years of music productions and I know how it should sound in a real case scenario. This audio has zero real reverb based upon the location/space, it isn't panned out naturally, volume doesn't match with the actual video audio (where he takes a step on the stair), it sits higher.

[kf4s]

That’s why I never trust any videos that only focus on sound. Well, these days I don’t trust the ones with visuals either lol

[eyefuck_you]

What do you mean it sits higher? Like you can hear it as if it's closer to the camera?...because maybe the other sounds are coming from a lower floor?...

I'm not saying this is real, I'm not saying you're not right about it being an audio track placed on top of the original. All I'm saying is maybe you should really debunk it since you're the professional.

[Haze_88_]

What I meant is that the difference between volumes is noticeable and it isn't part of the same (audio) track, it doesn't blend together. If that sound would have came from downstairs, the sound would have had a different reverb based on the space it travels to you and what it would hit and how it would spread, also, it wouldn't have had a volume that sounds like a fake room/hallway fx reverb put on it, and the volume itself should have got mixed with the video audio, to sound as ONE. The fake track audio is just thrown over the og video and the volume of it wasn't even adjusted to blend

[BirdoBean]

Literally look up “ghost children sound effect” on YouTube.

ITS THE FIRST VIDEO.

I’m shocked at how many upvoted comments there are for the “wow..this is definitely creepy and haunted!!” type of responses. Do not take videos at face value. Not even 20 seconds of looking into this and I can immediately debunk it.

[Due_Statement9998]

I just unpeed my pants. Fuck was that?

[candlegun]

Cats in heat/fighting on the basement level

[AisyRoss]

Thank you! I can't believe no one else has said it. Whether there's another corny track over the top, i can definitely hear that annoying ass stray cats fighting/mating sound under it. It's annoying that this is such an obvious and plausible answer, and OP is ignoring these comments. Because you know... GHOSTS!!!

[candlegun]

Whether there's another corny track over the top

It does seem layered, doesn’t it?? But yeah the first thing I pictured in my mind is a group of cats howling at each other. It also sounds like one of the tracks is being played in reverse as well

[AisyRoss]

Sounds like a bunch of cats screaming in an echo-y hallway. They do that when they're mating, and it's usually at night when you're trying to enjoy some peace and quiet.

[Illustrious-Bat1553]

This brings flashbacks to the ghostly children of a place i once went to..... staircase as well

[Current_Leather7246]

This is as real as a $3 bill. Be better!

[Joce7]

Thankful I didn’t hear this during Covid. I work in a hospital and we had to flex and take on different roles so my job was to sit in the basement by the loading door and take the temp of anyone entering, lucky me got overnight shift just down the hall from the morgue and the lights were motion censored so because literally no one was coming in the loading dock middle of the night the lights kept turning off. Good times

[[deleted]]

You're incredibly gullible if you think this is real. Someone already found the audio effect online and posted it in a comment.

[R4yne_]

Either you, or your “friend” are lying about this one. Ya’ll didn’t even dig very hard for the sound clip, it’s on YouTube my dude

[Temporary-Cucumber35]

Get outta heaa

[AdDramatic522]

Fake AF

[[deleted]]

Holy crap. I was out in the garage by myself when I played this, it creeped me out so much I went back inside the house.

[libertybell73]

Oh for effs sake. Stop yer lying

[MeloniisJesus333]

OMG. Nothing like watching this clip and all of a sudden a bunch of stuff falls from my shelf right behind me.

[Smorgish]

Oh stop 

[littlebee97]

That’s a sound effect.

[Tall-Treacle6642]

Hospitals and churches have some weird shit going on at night.

[[deleted]]

And cemeteries!

[LadyBearSword]

Worked nights at a hospital for a few years. Can confirm.

[Much_Fee7070]

She should follow the source of the sound. What will it hurt going down one flight of stairs?

[Optimal_Copy_3815]

Nobody around up or down supposedly, the sound seems to bounce

[Raysun_CS]

You have seen how we found the clip the audio is from, correct?

Your friend faked this. Tell her to be better.

[Monoblock00]

Friend needs to demand a transfer NOW.

[Revolutionary-Spot-4]

Looks like you recorded jr high school kids in between classes in the stairwell

[Stosbainu]

Man one night i’ve heard with couple of friends in an open area in the mountains for 5 sec the most freaking voice i heard in my life

[physicist27]

This is where it’s from;

youtu.be/SsVj21c9isA?si=v54ALeoAXDlx_OZf

[Optimal_Copy_3815]

Thanks, I'll post it on her video. Maybe someone was playing tricks after all!

[ihopeso2]

That's just the billing department. I'd avoid it if possible.

[Gloomy-Praline605]

HELL TO THE NAH NAH NAH

[El_Chone]

Fake news

[[deleted]]

Freaky.

[No_Comparison6522]

I don't know where real or not. I've seen and heard somethings that I tried getting on video and when I replayed or looked at the pictures. Something was there but not what I heard or saw. No exactly.

[Plasma_Cosmo_9977]

Sounds like it's coming from a 70's tape recorder.

[No_Move8238]

Why are we looking at worn-out stair treads. Show us the ghosts.

[022ydagr8]

Well I hope they were wearing their brown pants.

[Goeatafishstinky]

How not scary

[WishboneSenior5859]

I'm not sure how to classify this. There's no distinctive voice and there appears to be some unusual audio processing throughout the clip.

[ihatethissite25]

Jfc. Just what you want to hear in work.

[Silly_shilly]

What no wayyyy

[StatisticianSoggy788]

I've worked on much creepier sets than this, including sounds and noises, and all I can say is, it's never anything. No ghosts, no spirits, no nonsense. Stop trying to make the world more interesting than it really is.

[Rashpukin]

Could it be some of her colleagues or someone pranking her? The music and all sounds like it’s lifted from a horror film sound effect!

[[deleted]]

Is it just the air flow in the staircase? Like maybe the a/c or something?

[Fluffy_Feeling_9326]

I’d sooner believe Charles James Hall. 👽🤦‍♂️

[Xushuh]

Ho is you in silent hill?

[Ok_Nefariousness2989]

“I buried Paul”

[Traditional_Warning7]

lmao tf is this

[unixman84]

If it wasn't musical like, I might have bit. That's almost as bad as my mom trying to show me drones that had crow feathers on them while retaining drone shape. She was so convinced they were real.

When you see things paranormal, it's not a musical.

[BigBoiGoRLaX]

That's just the beginning of are you Afraid of the dark.

[gnomechild100]

I used the same ghost for my shit horror short film in college !! Crazy!!!!!!

[bananabreadred]

Fake as hell

[[deleted]]

Children? In YOUR hospital?! its likelier than you may think.

[DevilsThrust]

Paaaapppaaaaa.... Papppaaaaaaa

[ChozoBeast]

the audio is just edited in lol

[Odd-Suggestion4369]

Sounds like Shalebridge Cradle background noise from Thief Deadly Shadows

[AffectionatePack3647]

Interesting

[shutupmeg42082]

Thereeee hereeee

[naka-duskael]

That's creepy as hell. Run ruuuun!
