4 different people, all hearing the same creepy thing.

[applemousey]

Sorry, I did post this in health but got very little response. I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this, or has any idea what it could be? (Spoken to neighbours, no church/shops close by)

My grandmother has been declining with what seems the beginning of dementia for a couple of years. She's now in palliative at home, (cancer) with my DF staying there.

She complained of 'church music' a few years ago every night, keeping her awake. Also the neighbours were 'having parties' playing 1920s music. It was assumed by family (and drs) it was the onset of dementia.

A year ago my aunt and uncle stayed there (they live overseas) and my uncle complained of the music keeping him awake.

My DF stayed a few months back and heard it himself. He looked everywhere and couldn't find it, it had woken him up.

The care nurse who has been staying overnight, unprompted said she had heard the music, she said it's quite common, she's heard it before in other dying patients homes as well as other nurses reporting similar experiences. Just wondering if anyone has had this before? All I can find online is audible hallucinations, but surely this can't happen with 4 separate people? And is there a logical explanation?

So I visited yesterday. It's a very quiet, no through-road street that is situated amongst a lot of other houses (like a very old housing estate) it is in a busy town, but this is all a decent drive away. Closest pub is at least 4 streets away (currently closed) and the church is in the town centre.
Spoke to DF he's heard nothing since. Since the care has been implemented, they have brought in a few alarms etc. But this is in the last couple of weeks, not a month or year ago.
I couldn't find anything. Grasping, I thought the old air vent maybe in the wind? But unfortunately cannot answer what, who or where I am afraid.
It was a sad visit, it's definitely very near to the end now. Her children (DF etc.) are doing a wonderful job of caring for her at this tough time.

I'm sorry to hear that your DGM is nearing the end of her life now Op, but how wonderful that all her children, including your Dad are there for her. From personal experience, being able to be with one of my parents as they left this life really helped with the grieving process because you get the chance to say and do the things that matter at the end.
BTW I was in the Woo camp. Take care 💐.

People have heard radio broadcasts through their dentures.

My late DF had a ham radio receiver and used to have conversations with other fanatics most nights. He had a great big Transmitter pole thing in our garden. We had neighbours calling round to complain that Dads voice was coming out their kettle or toaster or tv etc . It was soooo weird and must have been both bloody annoying and creepy for our poor neighbours.

an elderly lady a few doors down from me has started having similar problems.

She's been woken up the past 3 weeks in the middle of the night by what she says is next doors tv. She doesn't have dementia or any type of illness so not end of life or anything but she's had several rows with the people that live next to her accusing them of putting the tv on in the middle of the night around 2-3am

They are genuine people and are up early for work every morning so i doubt for one minute they are watching tv at random hours of the night.
