Mute
When the radio had quit playing this morning I really didn't even think twice about it. Assuming the station had gone off the air, I continued to get ready for the day.
When my hair was curled and my make up finished I headed into the bedroom to turn off the stereo and find a necklace or bracelet to finish up my look.
What I found upon entering the room had made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck.
As I approached the stereo I noticed it was flashing something, the station hadn't actually gone off the air after all. What had freaked me out, however, was that it was flashing the word 'mute'.
Something I have never seen on this stereo before.
I feel I need to explain to you all the fact that this stereo is over 6 years old, and not one of the fancy expensive stereos either. No remote, no frills, just your basic $100 special I picked up when I was a single Mom living alone with my then 5 year old son Zach.
Freaked out, I scanned the front of the receiver for a mute button of any kind.
Nothing.
I tried to turn the volume up, then down, neither worked.
Finally giving in to the paranoid feeling in the back of my mind, I flipped off the stereo and quickly headed downstairs.
I have not turned it on since.

It's possessed!!!!!!!!!
I think you should really freak out if after turning it on again it says "Turn me off" :P
Haunted perhaps ?
terry, it happened again this morning. I can't help it, it freaks me out.
phoenix, you could be right! :D
gareth, did you say you needed a new stereo? LOL!
pixie, I have to be honest, I've been wondering if I don't have a haunt of some sorts in my house.
HAHAHA I'll take it :P
That's a little freaky!
I have had a dish for 11 years now. I shudder to think how I would live without it.
