Why do baby monitor scary stories exist?

In a particularly creepy baby monitor story, a family heard a lullaby playing softly on the monitor in the middle of the night. But it was a lullaby they had never heard before and it had a very eerie tone. When they went to check on the baby, the baby was awake and seemed to be looking at something in the corner of the room, but there was nothing there.

One scary baby monitor story is about a family who heard strange whispers through the monitor at night. They thought it was just interference at first, but then it started to sound like someone was chanting in a low voice. It really freaked them out.

Once there was a couple who had a new baby. They installed a baby monitor in the nursery. One night, they started hearing strange static noises from the monitor. Then, they heard what sounded like a faint whisper. They thought it was just interference at first. But as the night went on, the whispers became more distinct, and it sounded like someone was chanting in a language they couldn't understand. They were terrified and rushed to the nursery, but found nothing there. The next night, the same thing happened, and this time, they could swear they heard the word 'leave' among the whispers. They ended up getting rid of the baby monitor and moving to a new house out of fear.

The scariest part is when you hear strange noises that you can't explain. Like in the story, hearing whispers in an unknown language or the scratching sound. It gives you a feeling that something is there but you can't see it.

Sure. There was this one story where a mother heard a baby crying on the monitor, but her own baby was sound asleep right beside her. The crying on the monitor continued and it seemed to be coming from the baby's room. She was so scared she woke up her husband. They went to the room together and found nothing. It was really strange and gave them chills for days.

Baby scary stories are popular because they play on our natural instinct to protect the vulnerable. The idea of a baby in danger or in a spooky situation creates a sense of unease and horror that can be very engaging.

One horror story is about a family who heard strange whispers through the baby monitor at night. They thought it was just interference at first, but then it seemed like someone was saying the baby's name in a menacing way. It turned out to be a neighbor's old radio that was picking up the same frequency accidentally.

One horror story is about hackers getting into the wifi baby monitor and talking to the baby, scaring it. Another is when the monitor malfunctions and shows false images, like a figure in the baby's room that isn't really there. And there are cases where the privacy of the family is invaded as the video feed from the monitor is leaked online without their knowledge.

They exist because people are inspired by the fear factor in existing horror stories. When a horror story scares a lot of people, others want to recreate that same feeling. It's like a way to join in on the horror trend.

Shitty bedtime stories may exist because some people think they can be a form of 'realism' in storytelling. They might believe that showing the harsher side of life in a story is valid, even for bedtime. But really, it goes against the purpose of a bedtime story which is usually to calm and comfort. Another reason could be that the storyteller just doesn't understand the needs of the listener, especially a child who needs positive and soothing tales at bedtime.
