I don't think there's anything "paranormal" about this but... About 7.30 this morning I was lying awake in bed and decided to listen to a podcast on my ipad as I often do if I can't sleep. I googled "Gobelki Tepe Podcast" as I've recently become interested in this, looked at a couple of page before deciding not to listen, so I closed the cover - which switches the ipad to sleep or standby mode, and put it back on the bedside cabinet.
A few minutes later, I heard a weird distorted voice give a long moan then say something like "Rich, where's the cockfight..." It came from behind me, was quiet and seemed to come from inside the room. No one else was up in the house and the house is joined on to neighbours on the opposite side of the room from where this came from. It was scary for a split second before I realised it was probably the ipad and also the voice sounded familiar, it sounded awful lot like the Mr Plinkett character used to review movies by Mike Stoklasa from Redlettermedia.com. Mr Plinkett is a psychotic elderly man who criticises films he hates, the character become (relatively) famous when he did a feature length review/essay on why The Phantom Menace was so bad. Plinkett's voice is a gnarly, unpleasant monotone and this did sound like a more distorted version of that. The website regularly does new reviews in other formats and Rich is a recurring guest/host. I didn't have any Redlettermedia tabs open and this lasted a second or two and was gone.
I certainly heard something odd within the room, the other two electronic items, a mobile and the laptop I'm currently typing on, were both off and neither was in the place the sound seemed to come from, though the ipad was. My only similar experience was a few years ago, the speakers I plug into my laptop seemed to being receiving French or French language, radio, this lasted some time and faded in and out. The voice sounded like Mr Plinkett and I think it said "Rich, where's the cockfight" or "there's the cockfight", I wonder if I heard one word as "Rich" because it sounded something like Plinkett, to be honest it may not even have been in English.
There where a few tabs open on the ipad, one was a different movie podcast, which does not feature Plinkett or Rich and this was not playing at the time. I suppose it could have been a distorted couple of seconds from that podcast, audio files will continue to play on an ipad after you close the cover, however, this podcast was not playing, and generally it just continues to play until the end of the file, unless internet connection is lost or it is stopped.
I haven't downloaded any apps that play voices or act as an alarm clock or anything like that. Any ideas?
Mods - wasn't sure where to put this, happy for it to be merged with another thread or put in another forum if necessary.
