| 1888.1 | Maybe it ticks? | GLDOA::TREBILCOTT | I can't believe it's only Wednesday | Tue Oct 19 1993 16:14 | 18 | 
|  |     Lucia:
    
    A possible scientific explanation...
    
    Does the clock tick?  I cannot have ticking clocks or watches near me
    at all when I try to sleep.  Drives me crazy, so I bought a digital
    clock/alarm.
    
    More question:  Has this problem just started?  Was the clock somewhere
    else and then moved into the bedroom recently?  Did the problem start
    out of nowhere?  I.E.  He used to be able to sleep but now suddenly
    can't.
    
    Does the clock reside in a spot in the room where it may reflect light?

|  |     I sleep with someone who cannot sleep without a clock ticking. This in
    no way bothers me. However if there is a second clock ticking in the
    room it keeps me awake. The two ticks are not exactly synchronized and
    they produce between them a third noise that keeps changing and that is
    what I can't stand. So do you have another ticking clock in the
    bedroom?

| 1888.3 | More on the clock | VAXRIO::LUCIAMARIA |  | Thu Oct 21 1993 11:59 | 12 | 
|  |     Here's more info on the clock:
    
    no, it doesn't tick. It has not been working for years. 
    
    This problem has just started and out of nowhere. The other clock I
    have in my room is a digital one -does not tick. The clock does not
    reflect light. It has always stayed in our room.
    
    My husband has always slept well except for these last week or so when
    the "problem" started. He says he can feel the clock's presence there
    somehow and it bothers him to the point that he has to stand up, get
    the clock, go to the living room and leave it there...

|  |     Perhaps there's something else bothering him and the clock reminds
    him of it?   
    Or.........maybe your grandmother is trying to tell you something.

|  |     I think that if my grandmother was trying to tell me sthing she
    wouldn't need to disturb my husband. We used to have the closest
    relationship one can have, not many words needed ... I have felt her
    presence very clearly in 3 different occasions after her death. She
    wouldn't need to use a clock or my husband ... really ...
    
    Tks for your help.

| 1888.6 | Seems like there's more to it than meets the eye | GLDOA::TREBILCOTT | I can't believe it's only Wednesday | Thu Oct 21 1993 16:23 | 16 | 
|  |     Maybe the problem is totally unrelated to the clock.  Your husband is
    just using that as a pointer?
    
    Does HE have any ideas about WHY it bothers him?  You said he feels its
    presence.  How so?  Bad?  By it being there does he feel afraid?  Does
    he feel bad?  Angry?  Does it remind him of something that happened
    recently?
    
    It kind of sounds more psychological of physical rather than paranormal
    (IMHO).
    
    It seems there'd be more to it if it was your grandmother trying to get
    a message through.  If she is, she is using an ineffective method, it
    would seem, because he is putting the clock out of sight.
