  • I am sure you have all heard of the sleep recording apps,

  • The ones that allow you capture any sleep-talking you may do throughout the night.

  • They are great fun and some of the stuff you say is pretty funny.

  • But what if you listened back the next morning, only to hear something that doesn't sound right?

  • What if you were alone that night,

  • yet there are two voices being picked up whilst you were sound asleep?

  • Before I begin with these unexplained sleep recordings,

  • I am in no way saying they are paranormal,

  • alien or any other unexplained beings voicing themselves,

  • because they can be so easily faked.

  • But, the people who posted them want some explanations

  • and seem pretty convincing in their stories.

  • So grab some headphones, sit back and enjoy.

  • The Chicago Roar

  • This next recording was sent to a paranormal channel by a man living in Chicago,

  • who, along with his family, had been experiencing lots of what they believe

  • was paranormal activity around their home.

  • Thing such as waking up at night to see shadow figures in the one man's room,

  • to hearing scratching and knocking coming from the bedroom doors.

  • As well as these experiences, the whole family heard footsteps

  • coming from the upstairs bedrooms when sat downstairs.

  • After going to investigate, no animals were ever found or linked to the sounds.

  • Possible paranormal activity aside, the man decided to set up a sleep recorder,

  • not intending to capture anything other than the app's intention

  • of seeing if he talks in his sleep.

  • But at some time during the night, a loud pretty disturbing sound can be heard

  • along with another strange noise sometime after.

  • He or his family do not know what it is and want an explanation.

  • So take a listen and see what you think.

  • When trying to figure out where the sound came from, the family are all out of ideas.

  • It's not known if they live close to a road,

  • but it is possible that it could've been something driving past.

  • Although it doesn't really sound like that.

  • Despite the believed paranormal activity,

  • the family did not come out and claim that it's related to the strange activity in their house.

  • But, they do not know what it is and are looking for some theories. What's yours?

  • This next sound was posted anonymously in 2014…

  • on a site called AboveTopSecret, and came with a short story of man

  • whose neighbour had been complaining of loud noises coming from his apartment

  • in the middle of the night.

  • Curious as to what they were talking about, he set up a recorder

  • and confirmed what his neighbour had been hearing on a few separate nights.

  • Take a listen.

  • At first, he thought the sound could be him talking in his sleep,

  • but realized he doesn't seem to be the only one talking.

  • Even creepier, they seem to be talking in a different language

  • that he cannot recognize or speak.

  • This could be him mumbling, but that doesn't explain what he thinks is a second voice.

  • The man says he was alone during all of the recordings and doesn't know what to make of it

  • but is pretty freaked out. What's your theories?

  • Exploding Head Syndrome

  • Now, this is a strange one.

  • It's not exactly a sound that has been recorded at night, because it would be impossible to do so,

  • but a sound that is heard inside the minds of many people around the world

  • just before or waking from a sleep.

  • Its called exploding head syndrome and is a condition that

  • causes the person to hear loud noises, such as explosions and gunshots,

  • often followed by flashes of light and body spasms.

  • Although impossible to record inside someone's head,

  • this replicated recording is a close match for many of those who suffer from the condition.

  • Take a listen.

  • It's classed as a mysterious sleep disorder

  • and occurs when a person is between sleep and waking.

  • Although there is no specific cause for it and no one knows exactly why or how it happens,

  • it's widely thought stress levels are a contributing factor.

  • The good news for sufferers is that it does usually go away on its own.

  • But, pretty crazy how the mind can do this.

  • If anyone has ever suffered from exploding head syndrome,

  • then let us know in the comments what your experiences living with it is like.

  • In 2010 a Property Manager was working on the renovation of a new apartment.

  • From day one, workers were experiencing problems with their electronic equipment.

  • Since the site was close to a radio tower, this was the believed cause.

  • However, when the workers and tenants started seeing dark shadows and orbs in the building,

  • rumours said that the apartments had been built on an Indian Burial Ground.

  • Local paranormal groups were brought in to investigate the area,

  • but all of their equipment would either malfunction

  • or the batteries would drain quickly despite being fully charged.

  • Still thinking this could have something to do with the radio tower,

  • they left without finding any paranormal activity.

  • But then, the Property Manager kept getting nails in her tyres.

  • She complained to the construction company that the site must be unclean,

  • but even after sweeping the entire site her car tyres kept picking up nails.

  • I don't know how this is related to the believed paranormal activity,

  • but her husband believed it was, so puts a crucifix in his wife's car.

  • This immediately solved the problem.

  • Shortly after this, his wife's health started to deteriorate

  • resulting in the need for two major operations.

  • She was also diagnosed with a painful condition called Fibromyalgia.

  • It was around this time they started using a sleep recording app.

  • After a few weeks of general night time talking

  • they caught a few sounds that they cannot explain.

  • Take a listen.

  • They do have three cats, although don't see how it could have been them.

  • The lady's husband is concerned that his wife has spirits attached to her

  • and they are responsible for her poor health, car problems and the sounds they caught at night.

  • What do you think?

  • This next sound will get you thinking more than any other sound in this list.

  • It was recorded by Jenny on a sleep app that she had been using for months called "Sleep as Android".

  • For the duration, nothing remarkable was heard

  • until on the 30th December 2013 at 02:04am, something different

  • from the regular sounds it picked up at night was caught.

  • Jenny was with her 3-year-old son asleep at the time,

  • and they were the only two people in the house.

  • The app picked up clicking sounds that seem to get louder,

  • followed by a woman, who Jenny says sounds like her saying

  • "What are you doing?" and a deep male voice that says "Nothing."

  • The clicks then continue before the male voice, although debated, says "That's them."

  • The female voice is most likely Jenny as she is known to talk in her sleep,

  • but the male voice hasn't been explained.

  • After she shared the audio, some serious sound analysis was done.

  • One person, who analyzed separate samples of Jenny and her young sons voice

  • believes the male voice could not have been Jenny's or her son's.

  • Take a listen and see what you think.

  • After Jenny shared the audio online,

  • it was heavily looked into, and quite a lot of people say

  • …a robber is more believable than it being anything paranormal.

  • Perhaps someone had broken into Jenny's house

  • and she subconsciously heard them whilst asleep and asked "What are you doing?"

  • It was also pointed out that the clicking sound's close to the phone, however the male voice is not.

  • Some say this could suggest that two people were in the bedroom

  • and the clicking was them opening something.

  • It could be something far less sinister, but who knows?

  • Strangely, Jenny did say that he son asked her the day after the recording where "Ho" was.

  • When she asked him who was Ho, he told her "the black guy with no face".

  • She said her son does say some odd things at times,

  • and doesn't see how this could be related to the sounds.

  • But due to the timing of him saying this, it freaked her out enough to share it.

  • After that night, Jenny does not listen to the app's recordings

  • and just uses it to monitor her sleep.

  • She has since moved out of that house

  • and is genuinely unsettled thinking about what the sound could have been.

  • I don't know what it is, but also don't know what would be more terrifying:

  • a paranormal being or a home invasion in the bedroom whilst she slept.

  • If you want to read more on this creepy sound and all of the analysis done,

  • then click on the link in the description.

  • So that's five sounds and sleep recordings that are pretty damn eerie and also unexplained.

  • Again, because they could be so easily faked we have to be cautious,

  • but what do you think of the sounds and what theories can you come up with?

  • Thanks for watching, don't forget to share anything strange

  • you may have picked up on your sleep recording app.

  • I will see you in the next video.

I am sure you have all heard of the sleep recording apps,
