Concerned that something might actually be wrong, the mother decided to install a small security camera in her daughter’s bedroom. She told herself it was simply for reassurance, just in case the child was tossing and turning in her sleep or bumping the frame. For several nights, the camera showed nothing unusual. The room remained calm and quiet, and her daughter slept soundly. But late one night, a notification from the camera app woke her. When she opened the live feed, the room looked peaceful at first. Her daughter was asleep beneath the blanket, breathing slowly. Then, almost imperceptibly, the mattress shifted. It dipped slightly and then settled again. Moments later, it moved once more, as if pressure from below was pushing upward.
