Young Mother Is Horrified When Another Child Appears in Her Baby’s Crib Out of Nowhere – Story of the Day
A young mother is petrified when a mysterious ghostly baby suddenly appeared in her newborn son’s crib.
The day Erin and Patrick Halloway came home with their son, they swore they’d do anything to keep him safe. Before his birth, they had researched the best and safest products for his nursery.
Little Sam’s nursery was a dream come true of soft blues, palest lemon yellow, and lavender. His crib was ergonomic and state of the art, his mattress was anti-allergic, and over his crib hung a mobile with a tiny nanny cam so Erin and Pat could keep an eye on Sam all night long.

Of course, as soon as Erin was home from the hospital, all their relatives and friends came over to visit and to meet little Sam. Among their visitors was Patrick’s great-grandma, Siobhan.
Siobhan was delighted with Sam and immediately declared that he looked exactly like her own grandfather George, who had the gift of seeing fairies.
Erin smiled politely and the elderly woman tenderly cradled Sam and caressed his cheek. Sam opened his eyes and yawned. “Why,” cried Siobhan. “He’s got the LOOK!”
“What look?” asked Erin, itching to take her baby back into her own arms, but afraid to seem rude.

“His eyes, they be the color of the moon! You’d best watch out the fairies don’t steal you baby and leave a changeling!” Seeing Erin’s shocked expression, Siobhan’s granddaughter, Patrick’s mother, decided to intervene.
“Away with you then, Grandma Siobhan, and don’t you be scaring the young ones with those Old Country stories!” she cried. But Siobhan clucked her tongue and kept muttering about the full moon and changelings.
Erin and Patrick were relieved when the family finally left and they could get back to enjoying their baby. Unfortunately, they had just finished changing little Sam’s first nappy when Pat’s phone rang.
Saying some not very nice words under his breath, Pat answered it then hung up and turned apologetically to Erin. “I’m so sorry, Erin,” he said. “I know I’m supposed to be on paternity leave, but this is our biggest client…”
