Hey mystic_dreamer,

The spirit may have very well tried to communicate with your child. But that's kind of a slope, since she wasn't even present. It might have reacted strangely since it was almost out of batteries, or maybe the spirit was trying to speak to you.

Hi Bethany....thanks for your reply. I just wanted to correct you on something......the toy had no batteries in it at all. So it isn't like the last dying breath of a battery!!! The battery compartment was empty..........this is what is so strange about this.
And Marilyn........you talk about this maybe being some kind of energy that both myself and my granddaughter might be giving off......would you say it might be similar to the same phenomenon of the street lights going off when you approach them? Because that happens so much with not just myself, but my granddaughter and her mom too (my oldest daughter).
It does have a bit of a poltergeist type of feel to it though...........like, you see this kind of stuff in haunting shows. It kind of freaks me out because of that........like, the toys are coming to life!!!
I don't understand why the toys tho.....maybe  it is just easy for a spirit to try to make contact with a child thru a toy........but then as Bethany said, it happened to me, not my granddaughter as I stood in the doorway looking around the room. It should be easy enough for spirit to communicate with me....especially in my sleeping state.....but then I have been known to pick up on spirit in my wakeful state too. So I don't understand why it would try this method, other than it's intention is to scare the beedazzles out of me.....and everyone else.
The toy phone incident acouple years ago, had no batteries in its compartment either.......but I wasn't there to see this incident either, so I would think that it is not me that it is trying to communicate with.
I wonder, maybe it is a relative that has passed over and this is just a friendly way of saying Happy Birthday to MiKayla on her birthday. It's just being funny...amuzing............maybe this spirit didn't want to activate the toy cash register in front of the other kids that were there because it would have scared them.........so maybe it was done in my presence so that I knew it had been there and to maybe pass this on to MiKayla and my daughter.....
I know that MiKayla is somewhat in tune with spirit...she talks about them frequently....she has conversations with one that she says is her gramma.

If spirit beings can send energy into us, then they probably have the ability to send energy into electrical items too.

I don't know what CF means. However, the rest of the statement stinks. No pun intended. What a LOVING thing to say on Bruce's forum/website. 

OMG, I see what you mean. (Hanging my head in shame)

I'm sorry Richard, I took it the wrong way and of course jumped to Bruce's defense. I have egg on my face. 

Love, Mairlyn

When Bruce was with his friend and her relative came calling from the other side, they perceived the smell of a skunk. This was how the spirit made herself known to his friend. When Bruce, being unable to accept the skunk smell, declared it impossible, he was cut off from it and could no longer perceive it.

The spirit did not create the complex chemical and fill the air in the house with it. She directly stimulated the brains of the sensitives present with the "concept" of skunk smell. Just as they create complex visual messages in the dream state or sounds in the waking state. This is bound to be much easier than actually creating the physical manifestations associated with each. This is why one person can sense them while another can not.

Very powerful spirits can apparently create physical events which will be seen by many people but the above accounts for why ghost hunters rarely turn much up on their physical cameras and instruments.

So, it is entirely possible that the toy was making no physical sound and there were no physical lights but you all perceived them because that was what you were intended to perceive.

The easiest way to reach a child is to use the association of a toy. The child is open to external influences because it has not yet learned how to concentrate; to block out external stimuli.

The child expects to be talking to another person while using the phone. That the toy is not hooked to a phone line and is just plastic means nothing to the child. A toy phone and a real one are identical from its point of view. This is exactly the technique taught by Moen for establishing and strengthening a connection to the otherside.

As far as the street lights going out as you approach, I would have to guess that it is due to your naturally sunny personality. 

For Marilyn Maitreya: No apology required. I saw something silly you wrote  as a comment in another thread and thought to question it but thought better and left it alone. You could not possibly have meant it the way it sounded. Rereading it I see you recognize that your view point of the time was wrong. Each experience changes our understanding of what we experienced in the past.

Hi mystic:
The fact that it was on her birthday suggests the presence of a
spirit that would know when her birthday was, and has a personal
interest in the child, like a family member. This fits in with her
talking to her grandmother.

The cash register that ran without a battery is like several cases
I have read of where the TV was showing a picture when it was not
plugged into the wall. As an engineer I can tell you that is not
possible by anything normal. A TV set uses about 1/5 horsepower,
which is a lot for a spirit to produce. Of course, since we have no
idea how this is done, conventional ideas of power consumption
would not apply.

What fascinates me about this is, some experimenters have worked
for years to invent devices that would pick up from spirits, and
here we have a spirit so powerful that it does not need a sensitive
device and can commandeer what is available and make that into a
signalling device.

It would have been great to have a record of this, a movie showing
the flashing lights with the battery compartment open. The phone
that would not stop ringing, and had no battery, would have been a
fantastic paranormal artifact. Too bad you threw it away. It too
should have had a record made of it, at least a photo.

This is fascinating in terms of theories of how the universe works.
It shows a spirit in a higher dimension able to impose a will onto
physical matter without any visible connection to it. I had a
related case where my light came on by itself and the force seemed
to have been applied internally into the switch, not against the
push button. In other words the force can be applied without the
usual means. There is a suggestion here that physical matter does
not operate the way an engineer thinks that it does.

What is further interesting is that if spirits can act directly on
devices, could they also act directly on the human body for
healing? The idea would be to refine the force so that it could
target something specific in the body. I need a spirit that could
start my ears regrowing, or could remove the block in Bruce's
stroke.

Thanks for reporting this. Now that you have reported it, you are
someone I know on line who has experienced personally things I have
only read about, and that makes it more real.

If you can dim street lights, that makes you a very unique
individual. The device that operates the street lights is called a
photoresistor. It is a device with two electrodes like forks facing
each other so that the teeth intermesh but do not touch. in between
the teeth is a sensitive area with a great range of difference in
electrical conductivity according to how much light falls on it, and
it is very sensitive.  I assume that it can also be energized by
fields put out by certain humans. What I should do is send you one
of these set up with an indicator to show how the conductivity is
changing. It is just great to know someone who can do this, so I
can check my instruments. You can email me if you want to try this.

Meanhile if those effects continue, you might want to try to
communicate with the spirit, devise a messaging sytem. Spirits
sometimes leave things like pennies or dmes as messages, but this spirit
uses toys. Phone calls are also fairly common. The phone rings,
a whispery voice is heard that fades away. Or it may be quite clear.
In one case the caller ID showed an old number no longer in use.

Before my father died in 2000, he said to mum that if there was an afterlife he would try and contact mum through the home theatre system-mum hated it as she hates technology and she certainly wasn't too impressed with dad when he bought it (he was dying of cancer and I thought why not enjoy what time he had left)  Not long after dad died the fan next to home theatre turned on by itself and it wasn't plugged in an there was no breeze inside the house-mum freaked out and hid the fan in one of the spare rooms. She's also had vivid dreams where he has contacted, which has also freaked her out, saying you're dead Ted with him replying No I'm not-where she's awoken as she's freaked herself out.
When I was a kid I used to have a digital watch (1982)and it decided to go haywire and say all these weird words (I cant remember the words but they were in English) when it wasn't designed for words as it was in the time area and it had permanent days of the week with an underline for the day. I showed my friend and she freaked out.
My son used to have this toy that used to operate in the off position for no reason at all-first time it did it that scared me as it was a 2am toilet call and it was on the floor when it decided to flash it's lights and go nuts-i picked it up as I didn't want it to wake my son and it was definitely in the off position-it did this quite often after this and always at night, I ended up throwing it out as it scared me once too often.

Hey Boris.....of course...I would be interested in heloing you test out whatever that thing is that you have.......oh, and we did take pictures of that cash register 'doing it's thing'....no video clips..just pics....we thought we might catch an orb or something around it that would explain 'at least something'.....but no orbs were seen...but there were some strange lights or reflections of something...can't really tell what it is...the light was not on in that room and it was daylight.
It was my daughter who threw the phone away...she was too freaked out by what was happening...they drove it to the other side of town just to get rid of it. I don't know who would be trying to contact my granddaughter tho....she is only 5 years old (just had her 5th b-day) and there has been no one in her life that has known her and has died in her 5 years.......the gramma that she has referred to, who she says comes and talks to her sometimes, is a baffling thing to me....since I am her gramma....not a ghost! My own mother passed away in 1969...and my grandma, 1967........I have thought that maybe the gramma she is talking about is one of these two, maybe. However, someone here mentioned once that it could be a gramma from a previous life that my granddaughter had........ ???
By the way Chumley..........I think I would have been toooooo scared to answer the phone......I think I have seen too many scarey movies in my day!!!! I have started to sleep with the light on at night..........again!!!! (my god, I need a doctor!)
I just don't know who would be trying to contact her on her b-day.....or to acknowledge her special day....I really don't know. However.....one thing that is rather odd, that I just thought of now, is that this was a toy cash register that came to life.....and that is what I do every day at work: I'm a cashier in a busy grocery store.....coincidence maybe?
And hey....I just thought of something else...I had completely forgotten about this until now...this happened 5 years ago. I was involved in getting my university degree and this one night, I was burning the midnight oil putting a report together. T
I was sitting up. alone, kids long since in bed and the place was quiet...no tv...no music, nothing. I was at the kitchen table, writing away, when suddenly the radio (which was sitting on top of the fridge) turned on and there was music playing. The sound was quiet (low volume)....I looked up, startled by this. What the heck? I got up and started to walk towards it...was going to turn it off...the closer that I got to it, the louder the volume started to go. By the time I was right there, it was blasting loud.....and I was literally shaking and scared to death. I had never experienced anything like this before and I was scared s^$#$^&**(((^%$less......
I reached up to turn it off and it was then that I noticed that the radio wasn't even plugged into the wall socket. Holy....now I remember this all too well...I had forgotten all about this. There were no batteries in it either...I remember that, I was too poor at that time for batteries for anything. But I had this radio on the fridge and I would plug it into the socket on the stove....normally I kept it unplugged when I wasn't using it because I was always worried that one of the kids would turn a burner on and not look to see it the cord was plugged in.
My hands were shaking like crazy as I reached up to the on/off knob...I thought something was suddenly haunting my radio! That there was a ghost right there! I had goose bumples!
My fingers didn't even touch the knob when it shut off on its' own.  I went and sat back down...watching behind me as I walked....thinking that there was something behind me.....lol
I had noticed the time on the wall clock at that point and it was 12:40am....
I finished what I was working on and went to bed....with all the lights on in the place! Nothing else weird happened that night.
It wasn't until the next morning when I realized the significance of what happened that night before....this radio thing happened on September 24th, 1999....at 12:40am........my mom had passed away on September 24th, 1969 at 12:40am......now is that a strange coincidence or what?
What had scared me sooooo much about that incident was that the closer I got to the radio, the louder it got.
So now maybe, just maybe this is my mom who is trying to communicate with me.....and she is the gramma (although it would be great gramma to my granddaughter) who has been using the toys on the birthdays......and the cash register toy....well, like I said, that is my job to run at work. 
Isn't there supposed to be something about how physic abilities tend to jump a generation in families? I have been told that my grampa (my mom's dad had physic (I know I am spelling that wrong  ) abilities.........I know that I have them.....and now my granddaughter seems to have them.
There is a 30 year time frame from my mom's passing to the radio thing.....
I also had a visit from my mom in a dream when I was 19 or 20......she came to me (first time since she had passed away) and we had an awesome visit....we talked and she commented on all the changes in the old family home ....she told me that she missed me, loved me...and she said that she didn't die and leave this earth because she didn't love me...just because she was so sick.....at the end  of the visit, she gave me a hug and said that she enjoyed our visit and promised that she would come again.
I think I need to look at these recent incidents with my granddaughter a little more closely. I think that it just might be my mom. Maybe she is just trying to let us know that she is here with us celebrating with us on these special days...

Hi Vicky.....I'm not sure which incident you are referring to when you asked if I had been reading, etc, about paranormal things.in either case, however, no.....I hadn't been 'at that moment' anyway.
When the radio thing happened, I can place that back to my last semester and in that month, I was working on a 'large motor skill' program for kids (my report)...........and then at the birthday party...well, lately I have been watching alot of tv programming in the evening ...'Dead Tennants'...Physic Witness"....'Haunted House'.....no wonder I can't sleep in the dark again!!
I think there was another movie that included a ringing toy phone toy too.....Poltergeiist.
It is creepy no matter what.......and the toy cashier really got to me because I was just standing there looking into the room and it suddenly became active. And then it stopped after a few minutes and then when my daughters both came to see why I called them...I was arguing with one of them over it....she said that I was nuts..had no batteries in it, etc...then it started up again at that moment.
I am starting to think it was meant for me...and yes, I will have to figure it out.
I am going thru a rough time right now...maybe it is just a show of 'emotional support'...??
I wouldn't want to think it as a calling card...that my days are short....and that this is just a reminder that I will not leave this place 'alone'.....morbid sounding I guess....but I had a dream a few years ago and it has yet to transpire. It involved my old Nova and I died...I rose above the power lines and looked down on what had happened below. It all sounds weird, I know. But I have been having a few close calls in that car lately while driving at night (and that is what this dream dramatized)...
This seems to be getting off topic now...and I think I am just guessing and surmizing too much.
Time will tell just who is trying to contact who.
