My door bell just rang...

meoklmrk91

So what you ask... Read on.

Moved into a new house about 2 weeks ago, happy out and love it, whatever. So few minutes ago I was heading up to bed, turned off the hall light and got about 2-3 steps up and I hear this music, I look back to see where it was coming from and it's coming from the doorbell speaker on the wall. Here is the weird part, while a have a doorbell speaker, I don't have a doorbell, the entire front casing on it including the button was ripped off before I moved in, now all that's left is motherboard type thing and a few wires.

Now I am not the the type to scare easily but my heart started racing when I realised what it was. So can anyone explain how a doorbell speaker with no actual doorbell can make noise?

MadMardegan

It's possible the wires in the speaker are picking up radio waves from some local source...

That or it's haunted

Stay safe OP

This reminds me of a similar thing that happened to a friend of mine. It turns out the house was possessed & he ripped off his own ears in terror.

The Backwards Man

I know a so called electrician that can make something like that happen quite easily.

Wireless doorbell? Or wires are loose by the door and make contact every now and then

Ol' Donie

If its important, they'll come back.

Night night.

MagicMarker

Clearly a poltergeist.

Sleep well.

Hownowcow

The doorbell, as you refer to it, is just a switch. The wires have crossed and are setting off the speaker.

Do you have a door?

The Backwards Man

It might be something simple, like a giant rat gnawing on the circuit board.

Yeah

It's most likely radio waves interference, usually it's 2FM buzzing away in the background or in some cases the emergency services....

You can usually always hear it in a quiet room with a bad guitar amp powered on.....

So who was at the door then?

The Backwards Man

Here's some light music to cheer you up:)

The spirits of the people that the previous tenants murdered are not happy and are going to wait until you go to sleep tonight to exact their bloody, bloody revenge in the most horrible fashion you can imagine.

Radio waves, a haunting thing, a possessed, a bloke with no ears, a so called electrician, a wireless, a poltergeist, a giant rat, a funeral, Jehovah Witness ghouls, Senor Ding Dong, 2FM, Eurgh, the ghost of Gerry Ryan and the previous tenants.

Keep up.

*If there really is a door.

Less door, more snore.

Corruptedmorals

Reminds me of a brilliant post here a while ago. Somebody drifting off to sleep listening to the radio when a voice boomed out in the room 'I'm outside the house'. Interference from a taxi company, ughh heart attack inducing. I've heard baby monitors are magnets for interference too.

scoobydoobie

Has the house been rePOSSESSED.

I was once privy to a wonderful phone conversation that came in over my baby monitor that consisted of some poor exasperated woman explaining to her friend on the phone how her baby wouldn't stop (and I quote) "chewing the nipples off her" while she was feeding!

Weird and wonderful things...

Thats quite a nice piece of music, not really scary. Is it supposed to be? Haven't seen the film in years so not sure if that music is used in a scary manner. If not, it's more likely to send the OP off the sleep (maybe that was your intent)

The Backwards Man

OP hasn't replied in a while, maybe someone should ring the guards to go check on her. I would but I can't pronounce her name. . .

It can be haunting enough if you're in a big old house on a dark night when things go











BUMP!!!!

FearDark

This is literally the best story I've ever read.

kylith

The doorbell thingy usually has a speaker attached. The wires and stuff are picking up radio waves, and the speaker is amplifying the sound. Creepy, but cool, and explicable.

Celly Smunt

Is the house located in a ghost estate by any chance?

Ruu

I think it is safe to say that meoklmrk91 has been consumed by some beast of the underworld, help us all!

Cupcake_Crisis

So, did you just not answer your door then? A bit rude.......

meoklmrk91

Okay so lads, I made it through the night anyway, I'm going to go out in a while and touch the wires off each other and see if that sets it off.

When I was a kid, we had a vintage tractor sitting in our yard for a week or so. One stormy night, as we were all watching tv inside, we thought we heard it start up. When my father looked out, the tractor was slowly making its way across the yard in 1st gear.........WITH NO DRIVER! :eek:
The lightning flashes illuminating it against the blackness was chilling!

Turns out that the ignition was stripped on it and the amount of rain drenching it had created some kind of circuit from the battery which made it start up
