Over the Baby Monitor

My brother was born about a year ago and my parents like to keep the baby monitor on whenever he's in his room. They take it with them everywhere they go.

One day, I had to baby sit for a few hours because my parents wanted to go out. It was around 9 or 10 at night, so my brother had gone to sleep already. I got bored so I came in my room to watch TV and I took the baby monitor with me. I was about to fall asleep when I heard my baby brother laughing. I didn't really think anything. It went on for about 10 minutes. Then I heard a cat meowing. It wouldn't be scary if I had a cat, but I don't have any pets.

It started to freak me out a little but I just kinda blew it off, thinking it could have been one of his toys. About 5 minutes later, I heard a woman singing. It was so distinct. I thought it could have been my mom, and I just didn't hear her and my dad come in. I called her to see if it was because I was too scared to go out of my room and go check on him. She was still out, not even on her way home.

I told her what was going on and I let her listen to the monitor. She told me to go check on my brother. I had to build up courage, so I waited a minute. My brother started crying and thats when I decided to go check on him and see what/who was in the room with him.

I walked in his door and the rocking chair next to his bed was rocking and he was starring at it, crying. It really freaked me out. I took my brother into my room with me and called my parents. They told me to go in the living room and rock him and put him in his playpen to sleep, until they got home.

While I was rocking him, I felt a cool breeze pass me. That was really weird too because it was in the middle of the winter and I had the heater on.

I still don't know what it was or why it was there or why it was bothering my brother, but he stays in another room now and whatever it was hasn't come back since.
