About
Ghost Baby refers to a viral Facebook post in which a woman believed she was seeing a ghost of a baby sleeping next to her baby in her baby monitor. After posting about it on Facebook, she discovered that her husband had not changed the sheets on the mattress pad in the crib, exposing a sticker on the mattress pad that shows a picture of a baby.
Background
On October 17th, 2019, Facebook user Maria Cibuls posted a picture of her child sleeping in their crib to a private Facebook group for moms. The picture was of her baby monitor, which showed her child sleeping in its crib. However, next to her child is what appears to be the face of another baby (shown below).
Developments
The following day, after seeing the other members of the group post concernedly, she re-checked the crib and discovered that her husband had not placed new sheets on the crib's mattress pad, exposing a sticker showing a baby on the pad[2] (shown below). Her post gained over 518,000 reactions and 312,000 shares.
The viral success of the post led to media coverage from Buzzfeed,[1] Daily Dot,[3] and others. Speaking to Buzzfeed, Cibuls said she had checked the room the night before but did not turn the lights on so as not to wake her sleeping son.
