This Baby Monitor Footage Will Spook You Senseless

A Ghost in the machine

Baby Monitor video display strange images

Is there something vaguely demonic going on in this kid's room, or is it nothing more than a baby monitor glitch? That's what dad Ben Popper is asking after he and his wife caught sight of some chilling footage on their Withings Smart Baby Monitor.

While most parents use video monitors to peek in on their child napping or playing quietly with toys, what Popper witnessed in his son's bedroom one day left him rubbing his eyes and swiftly crossing himself.  

In one frame the boy is clearly seen reading on the bed, while - at the very same time - his doppelgänger is seen standing and picking at a tapestry off the opposite wall.  

And if that isn't enough to give you a case of the paranormal willies, both versions of the boy are wearing completely different outfits. 

Poltergeist? Pfft. Those movies have got nothing on this boy and his imaginary self-friend. 

Before he speed dials his local exorcist, Popper vowed to reset the Wi-Fi router. Good plan. Then burn the freaking monitor.
