I almost don't want to share this...

But really, it's too creepy not to. And I feel like if I write it or talk about it I'll be admitting that it happened, and that I wasn't delusional. Just to forewarn you, its really really really is creepy.
Ok, so, yesterday a co-worker told me about a movie he saw called Paranormal Activity. He said on a scale of 0 to creepy, he rated it creepy. He told me about a couple of scenes and I got really freaked out. Because I'm a true believer of shit like this. I tried my hardest to get the stuff he said out of my head but I kept going back to it, thus making me very jumpy the remainder of the day. So I thought that maybe me being on the edge made me believe that the following happened, but I don't think I can mistake this. My eyes are welling up with tears just thinking about it (which proves how scary it is because the only time my eyes well up with tears and I'm not crying is when I get freaked out, kinda like some people getting goose bumps)...
Chloe has this thing attached to her car seat handle. It's a butterfly that has a chime thing in it to keep her busy. So every time she grabs it or the car seat moves, the little butterfly makes this noise, like a wind chime. Last night I went to bed around nine and woke up at 130am. Not sure why I woke up, but I did. Nothing made me wake up, I just woke up. Husband was next to me, soundly sleeping. I looked at the clock and at the same I did, I heard the chime. I'm like...what the fuck?....I must be sleeping. But no, I was awake and now that I heard the chime again, I was WIDE awake. I tried to wake husband to no avail (he sleeps like a rock and is impossible to wake). I tried to go back to sleep and blame the noise on something else, but I kept hearing it. Being as Chloe's room is right next to ours and that's where her car seat sits, I tried to place the noise somewhere else, like outside, but no. It was coming from her room. Now I feel like I'm going to cry because I can still hear the chime chiming. It's not faint. I can't sorta hear it. I can hear it plain as day. I get a hold of myself and think more logically, it must be the cat. Yes, that's it, it's our big dummy cat playing with her car seat toy. That makes sense. Our cat loves playing with her toys. I've seen him do it dozens of times. I look over at the foot of our bed and much to my dismay, big dummy cat is curled up snoring away. DAMN. Well, if it's not the cat, it must be Super Kid. He's been known to do weird things in his sleep, maybe he's in there playing with it (this is 2am scared shitless logic, work with me). I try to wake Husband up again but he won't wake up. So I did the one thing in scary movies that I never understood, I got up to see if J was in there playing with her car seat toy. As I'm getting up I hear it again. Shit, what am I doing??? I turn on our bathroom light, then the hallway light and peak in her room where I see the edge of the car seat. My heart is beating out of my chest and I really feel like I'm going to faint but I am convinced that I will see J sitting in there half sleeping playing with the little butterfly. I slowly open her door only to find NOTHING.
There was nothing in there. No cat, kid, husband, nothing. I check on Chloe and she's snoozing away, not a care in the world. I look at her car seat and the toy was there, right where it was as I left it. It didn't even look like it had moved an inch.
I go back to bed and I can't sleep. I keep waiting to hear the stupid chime. After at least an hour I managed to fall back to sleep but I can't shake the absolute creepy feeling. I know this happened, I know I heard it, it wasn't a dream. But what was it? I'm not sure I want to know...

Creeeeeeeepy,
JSC

Not possible, the car seat was sitting in the middle of the room. I'm going to write it off as my mind playing tricks on me or else I won't be able to sleep at night...
