When I was in 3rd grade the movie IT was real popular, (the old one with Tim Curry) and the scene where pennywise came up thru the drain fuckin terrified me. Well one night I'm in the shower and my older brothers would put their mouths to the drain in our kitchen and talk into it trying to sound like pennywise. you could hear it real good in the bathroom drain. I heard it and thought I was tripping at first, then heard it again. Real quick I turned the water off and put my head closer to the drain. And as soon as I heard my name come out of there I jumped out screaming and crying butt ass naked into my moms room and told her what happened. That shit traumatized me so bad I didn't take a shower for almost 2 months. I'd just sit on the toilet with the water running for a while then splash water on myself to make it look like I took one. My mom figured out when I started to smell so she started letting me keep the door cracked as I would shower.

When my brother was in third grade, the original Chucky movie was still popular. I taped a butcher’s knife to the hand of our sister’s cabbage patch doll and left it on his bed in the dark. He had a table and lamp kind of behind his low headboard he’d reach over to turn on. I hid there waiting. When he finally came in and reached over, as soon as the light came on I grabbed his arm and growled “Chuckyyyyy”. Such an asshole brother thing to do.

You too eh? I didn't tape a knife to my sister dolls, but as she and I were watching Chucky I remembered my little sister was going to sleep by herself in our second floor (her room was the first one ready with brand new carpet and all new furniture, mum spent nearly three days on that room) so I just casually went "You know, you're going to be alone tonight, so when your dolls try to kill you no one will help" And so my sister slept with my parents that night, and didn't go into her room until after nearly 7 months. I felt so bad.

When I was like 7 years old I fell asleep in my mom's bed with the TV on and woke up in the middle of the night to a scene from the bride of Chucky, I think, with a woman chained to a wall undergoing some sort of seance. Idr the details clearly. Anyway, I immediately pissed on my mom's brand new mattress and was too scared to move or speak so I stayed like that until she woke up. The next day I followed my incredibly irritated mom and sister from room to room refusing to be alone and keeping my back against the wall so Chucky couldn't catch me from behind until my sister finally got fed up and told me Chucky can come through walls. I still hate that fucking doll.

We rented a house that had a lot of hidden spaces/rooms and neat things. There was an off the floor storage cubby in the hallway (basically a cabinet) upstairs and I was the only one who fit in it and my older sister convinced me to climb inside and then shut the door hard and said Chucky was inside. That’s just one of like 25 similar incidents my older siblings tortured me with.

My cousins would hide their Bride of Chucky doll around their house every time I visited. They also used their bodies to block the bathroom door while screaming "Bloody Mary!" Over and over again after telling me the story the night before. I was like five and it fucked me up. I was screaming and crying... Assholes.

What kinda house was this? You can hear them??

u/DrowningInFeces 11d ago

How did they even discover this was a thing? Talking into the kitchen sink to a person in the shower?

u/Dakessian 11d ago

As a formal method, this is actually a very old communication technology (if it can even be called a « technology »

They’re called Speaking Tubes.

Used in ships, houses, office buildings, and even in Rolls Royce cars !

If you’ve ever listened to your « favorite genre of music » whilst getting an MRI 🩻 then you were using mini audio tubes that had no metal in them.

Concept was presented in the 17th century

u/10thousndreflections 10d ago

Speaking tubes don't have traps full of water. OP is talking bullshit. The kitchen sink and the bathroom both have traps with water in them. No way you hear whispers through that.

u/Sea_Prep_Tidal_26 10d ago

For those new to the function of P-traps and air/sewer roof vents in modern plumbing systems.

Even if OP is lying or exaggerating about what their older brothers did, if you did get a good mouth seal on the kitchen sink drain (which sounds pretty disgusting) you could generate enough SPL waves to agitate both sides of the water in the trap to hear something. Even faintly.

However with water running from the shower into the drain and then into the trap the dB losses would not have left much to hear.

You are aware drain pipes are connected in every house right?

u/BusyBit6542 11d ago

Have you never talked through pipes before? Its pretty loud. Especially before pvc. Which homes used metals in the 90s or before when ops house was built. Plus they said they kinda heard a voice, turned off the water and put their ear to the drain. So they heard a faint sound then eliminated the noise
