A Green Orb

Eeriest Effects

I continue to get supernatural-seeming effects from a sound machine I use at night, in a continuation of the spooky series of events I describe in this post. Last night as soon as I tried to turn on the sound machine's sound, I got a very eerie effect. Here are the exact words I wrote just after seeing the effect:

"Turned on power button at 10:00. Clock reset to 12:00. But it did not advance. Froze at 12:00 for 3 minutes in dim numbers. Finally the time progressed to 12:01 -- number still dim. Unplugging and plugging in restored bright numbers."

The sound machine has an electronic digital clock, but the time on the machine froze for three minutes, staying at 12:00. Only after three minutes did the sound machine's clock start progressing to times beyond 12:00. 

Eleven times last night, the sound machine mysteriously stopped making its sound, with the time resetting to 12:00. The same thing had happened the previous night, when there was also eleven such events. The machine has no battery, and is plugged directly into an electrical socket. During the less than six minutes I spent looking at the clock last night, twice I observed a "fade out and restoration" effect. It went like this: the waterfall sound from the machine (which is normally at an unvarying volume) would get softer, softer, and softer, and simultaneously the time on the machine's digital clock would get dimmer, dimmer and dimmer until finally you could not see the clock numbers, and the machine was silent or almost silent. Then instantly the clock numbers would return to full brightness, and the machine would return to its full previous volume.  It reminds me of the diminuendo effect that the late tenor Franco Corelli had mastered.
