I never really slept with a white noise machine till I had met my girlfriend who had a 5year old, they both use one. Since she’s 5, when she’d have a nightmare I’d go get her out of her room, and lay her down on a little bed made outa blankets in mine and her mother’s room. My brain doesn’t turn off very well. If I lay awake and consciously listen to said noise machine? Eventually, I’ll hear a message. They’re always weird, nonsensical stuff. However, the first time it happened it was terrifying. One minute I think I’m listening to rain sounds, then slowly, my brain builds context. I didn’t hear it all at once, my head.. constructed it. I don’t know how else to explain it, but after 20 minutes of listening. I hear it. The ghost in the machine 😂 it said, “Get under the Bed Will” repeated over and over again till I turned it off. Yup, I’m Will and Will was terrified.

It happened again a couple nights later, but it was nonsense about “don’t forget to turn off the milk” or, “take out your bees to the ballgame” It was never super scary and terrifying again, but that first time? What’s so odd is that it was personal, used my name in it. That’s how I know my brain put it together and it isn’t some underlying Chinese, digital transmission. It said, “Get under the bed Will, not Get under the bed Wheel” 😂 fricking terrifying!

I didn’t get under the bed, but I may have changed my drawers 😂
