My guess was that some freak of electronics, copper wiring, antenna action, whatever, picked up a random CB burst and played it on the speakers of the stereo system. Sort of like people who hear radios playing on their fillings under the right circumstances. I'm positive it was some random electronic freak occurance like that.

I was going to ask if you had speakers anywhere in the house, 'cuz that's what it was. I live in a third floor apartment, just above and *immediately* adjacent to a busy intersection, and my desktop computer speakers often scream entire sentences at me. Clearly audible, but with an overall electronic 'noise'...and it happens when I've got no sound pumping through the computer.
Like you guessed; your speakers just picked up a CB signal.

The part that got me though was that it was powered off. This is back in the day when powered off means off, and not just asleep. Physical toggle switch that makes it all go dark. Still, guess there was electricity in there somewhere....

I have had a lot more experiances as a child then an adult. I remember reading or being told that children are more in tune with paranormal things then adults are.
Skip forward many years: My daughter went through a time when she was having nightmares that would continue once you are awake.....they are called night terrors....they are lots of fun :dizzy:
So one night I wake up to a shreaking coming from my daughters room, I bolt up and run in followed by my wife. My daughter is riveted to her headboard staring and pointing into the corner saying something like, they are over there. I turn the lights on show her there is nothing there and it takes about 15 minutes to calm her down and she now seems fully awake, scared, but awake. She is now done sleeping in her room for the night and is going to sleep with us. On the way she stops, uses the bathroom and gets a drink. In total we were probably up for close to a half hour, we get into my room and climb into bed when she pushes away from me and slides toward her mother side, she is again wide eyed and pointing near me saying there comming!!! Daddy their comming IT"S TOUCHING YOUR SHOULDER!!!!!! Screaming, pointing and generally freaking the ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- outta me! She will not stop and she will not get anywhere near me.
Finally half for effect and half for god knows what I smack my shoulder and get up and swing in the general direction she is pointing in. She said it was gone, she was crying and shaking.........Paranormal......No clue..........and absolute 11 outta 10 on my weird-o-meter though. I did think back and remember that kids are more in tune to that type of thing.
That was probably 7-8 yrs ago, she is 12 now and she remembers it well.
I tend to be somewhat of a skeptic, but somethings I would rather accept that have it show up on my doorstep going....See I am real.....

I remain a skeptic, but I do get that shiver up my spine every now and then...

I'm a skeptic too. In fact, I'd say you possibly experienced 'sleep paralysis'...even better, scientists have been able to stimulate the brain, and conjure up 'shadow people' too. So you also (possibly) encountered erratic synaptic functioning in that particular region of the brain, and in turn, felt the 'otherness' of your own self-conscience. Damn.

Anyhow, I reeeeeeally want to see something paranormal, and be unable to explain it, but I'm probably the most skeptical person alive. I have, so far, been able to find a reasonable explaination for the few 'freaky' occurances that I've encountered...all except for one. Which I'll share tomorrow. When I have more time to write it. I still don't think it's paranormal, but I can not, for the life of me, explain it away.

About two weeks ago at work, I was on the phone with a customer and he tells me he can hear Rush Limbaugh on the phone line. I explained to him about radio waves, cordless phones (copper bones, westward foams, triple stones.)
I had just read through your thread in Politics about Rush. Jungian synchronicity at work?...or something more SUPERNATURAL!?
meh. :dunno
