Creepy Doings

[Gemini Cricket]

I have another one that I still can not explain.

One year for Christmas, Ralphie's father gave us one of those singing fish as a gift. You know the one I mean, it's mounted on a plaque and you hang it on your wall and it sings when its sensor detects movement.

The fish, called "Big Mouth Bass" or something like that, sang "Splish Splash I Was Taking a Bath" over and over again.

After playing with it for a couple of minutes, we decided that we were going to put it in storage in our closet. Forever.

So, I took out the batteries (learning my lesson when my Star Wars Millenium Falcon corroded when I left batteries in it for several years...) and Ralphie and I called it a night and went to bed.

At about 3 in the morning (I don't remember the exact time) we woke up suddenly to a muffled but loud enough "Splish splash I was taking a bath, long about about a Saturday night..."

I got up, opened the closet and the flopping fish stopped moving. I picked it up and there were no batteries in it! We both heard it. I could see if it was a dream or something, but both of us?

It never sang again that night or the next but we threw it away just in case.
