Mom Spies Terrifying “Ghost Baby” In Child’s Crib; Blames Husband
An Illinois woman spent a night in sheer terror after she checked her son’s baby monitor and saw a “ghost baby” snuggling with him in his crib. Maritza Cibuls, 32, says after she spotted the apparition, she grabbed a flashlight and crept into her 18-month-old’s room to investigate.
“I didn’t see anything unusual in the crib at all,” she says. “I was trying to feel around to see if there was any wetness – we thought there might be some drool on the sheet – but I didn’t feel any.”
However, when she returned to the monitor, the spooky baby was back! Cibuls says she didn’t sleep a wink that night, fearful that the spirit would do something awful to her son. In the morning, she finally figured out what had caused the ghostly image to appear: Her husband had failed to put the mattress pad in the crib, making the mattress visible through the sheet. On it was a tag that featured product information… and a big picture of a baby!
“It turns out my husband just forgot to put the mattress protector on when he changed the sheets,” she wrote on Facebook, revealing a large picture of a baby’s face on a price tag attached to the mattress. The face was not obscured by the mattress protector, hence appearing like ghost in the dimly-lit black & white of the baby monitor.
Cibuls said when she told her husband what happened “he just laughed,” noting he had changed the sheets after their son had woken up “crying and wet” and simply forgot to put the mattress protector back on.
“I could kill him,” she wrote on Facebook, along with cry-laughing emoji, as if it’s his fault his fault his wife is so gullible! Maybe it’s just the current spirit of Halloween…
