Ghost in the Machines

[svtkeith]

Ok, so this is the third time this week. For what? you may ask. Well keep reading and you will know..
I arrive home from work around 2 am, get out of my truck, walk past the garage and shhh, whats that noise coming from inside my garage... Classic Rock!! blasting from within my garage. Wtf? I check the door.... Locked. I unlock it and slowly open the door and hit the light. Nothing but the 350X, Tecate and the R. It feels like there trying to tell me to come in and work on them. I say party's over guys, time for bed. I turn off the stereo, turn off the lights, lock up and go inside. My ol lady is so creeped out she wont even go in there anymore. At least they have good taste in music. Hell, they might even scare off would-be thieves.

Dont underestimate ghosts. i am not going into details, but i can assure you, without a doubt that they DO exist. seriously.

[WIkid500]

Ha I would let the rock play. Keeps the trikes happy and like you said might deter a thief. Ha good taste of music too!

i had a similar experance with music. it was about 2 years ago about 2am in the morning i woke up and there was loud blasting music comming from what sounded out side my bedroom. i go up, checked everything and no radios were on, i opened the window and it got louder, i walked outta my room into another room opened that window i hear it but not as loud. went back to my room and it was gone. even pinched my self and moved my glasses to make sure in the morning i was no tripping.

[JoeyStacks]

sure the radio isnt just getting old I had a TV that would come on when you closed the door. Got rid of that turd.

[Thorpe]

Thats my thinking... Time for a new stereo...

We hear music in our house sometimes. Usually when we're in the bedroom. It's just barely audible, so you get up to see where it's coming from, and you can't find it. Then it's gone. No idea what THAT'S all about!

In your case, if your stereo has a "soft" power button, it could easily be coming on by itself, due to moisture, vibration, or just a malfunction. What I mean by a soft power button is that it's not an actual switch that goes click when you turn it on and off. It would be a button that you press once to turn on and again to turn off.

Or I could be full of trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro, and it could be your trikes just like some tunes while they're waiting for you to come and love on them. :lol:

It's not trike-related at all but a friend of mine has a ghost in his house. His house has a front porch on it with a rickety aluminum screen door that makes all kinds of noise when you open it. After that there's an aluminum entry door into the house. He was sitting in his living room with another friend of ours one night. He was sitting less than a step from the door when someone/something pounded on it. He got up to open the door and there was nothing there. The screen door hadn't been opened either. Another time, there was a ruckus in the kitchen. There's a cookie sheet behind the stove that's been there since he moved in ~8 years ago. He said it sounded like someone had kicked that cookie sheet. No dogs will go into his kitchen either. They'll go to the transition from the living room to the kitchen but no further. He asked around to his neighbours that have lived in the area for longer than he has and apparently the old lady that lived there was a drunk who spent all her time at the kitchen table and eventually died there. There was some commotion there another time but I can't remember what all happened. I just remember that he opened a beer, left it on the kitchen table and everything stopped.

LOL, thats funny. Where I used to live at a buddy's house (while he was in jail) the stereo in the living room would always come on & would turn the volume up & down! His grandparents died in the house, thats just one thing weird that would happen in that house.

[phantombiker]

so, y'all believe in ghosts? im not so sure. although im fascinated with the subject, im just not sure of it. im looking for proof. i try to go ghost chasing and visit haunted houses, but yields no results. the search continues !!

@ svtkeith...ever seen the movie "christine"? lol

[200XMichigan]

Unplug the stereo, if it comes on again you will know something is up. Thats weird though. Could also be if you live near other houses, if the garage has any windows, someone elses remote is turning your stereo on. When I was in college, we use to turn off our friends TV next door. They didn't know what was going on till they saw us in the living room with our remote pointed at their house. Not that I don't believe in ghosts but my vote is for malfunctioning electronics. But with the collection of trikes you have they need some tunes, its a trike party in the garage every night.

But WIKid has a good point, good theft deterrent, especially if the light is left on. Hearing about all the stolen trikes in NJ, I say leave the stereo and lights on. Maybe the trikes did it to protect themselves.

[Mr_RPM]

lol, the trikes like classic rock because its what they listened to when they were young.

[svtkeith]

@ svtkeith...ever seen the movie "christine"? lol

I own the dvd lol. I wish they would fix themselves like that old Pontiac!

It does indeed have a soft switch, good diagnosis! However, the volume was way louder lastnight then the previous night, but that also is a soft button so who know.

I thought about unplugging it but if i do, and it still comes on, then what lol, i wait till the walls start bleeding? It also cant be another remote, my windows all have black curtains to hide the goods.

well, if the walls bleed and you hear a loud whisper that says "COME IN!!", i think you should obey !!! lmao

serious note...i've stayed overnight at the lemp mansion twice. both times nothing. dont get me wrong, it's one awesome building. and i was the only guy there both times all night and i would go back, but, im starting to lose the thought that there could be ghosts. will not give up the stories though. i think they're interesting.
