it’s a little bit of a long story but a year ago a lady in my grandparent’s condo passed away. i should probably give you the basic layout of the place they live in. it’s got an apartment sized living space on the first floor and an identical living space on the bottom floor. my grandparents live on the higher floor and the lady who passed lived on the bottom floor. about a year ago, the lady who lived below them passed away. i remember she never had wifi when i would bring my laptop to their apartment. sometime after gloria passed away and her death became old news, i started to receive a wifi connecftion called gloria. it wasn’t in my grandparent’s apartment though. it was actually outside closer to the door of where gloria used to live. the signal was only two or three bars and i would lose it when i went up the stairs to my grandparents apartment. there was nobody living in gloria’s apartment when i was receiving the signal.. creepy…my grandparents said there hadn’t been anyone living in the apartment or visiting since her death, and all of her stuff was virtually still there. there’s no way an internet bill could be running in the house 5 months after her death, and with nobody even living there. who could be paying for the internet too?? and how would an old lady in her 80s be knowledgeable enough to change the name of her internet?
i tried to think nothing of it, but i went back today and i received the connection inside the apartment now. i dunno how to feel about this.. when i tried to connect it, i was fine and the connection was blazing fast. my grandparents had said earlier that there were new people living in the bottom apartment and gloria was offically gone. well, that’s not the case, and it shows. pretty strange if you ask me…
the only thing useful that my grandma said was that gloria wasn’t her real name, but a nick name, and there’s about five other glorias in the area. but could it be that much of a coincidence with such a strong connection?
also, another thing, when i started to talk about it i got disconnected from the router and the connection was still connected but the pages werent loading. i troubleshooted it and it told me to contact the administrator or network provider.. aka her.
and that’s when i got a new connection, linksys, which just fucked up everything even more.
anyone have any ideas?
to the dead? no to the brain dead? obviously
Possibly this is very weird
One of the many other Gloria’s in the area also has wifi, and got sick of you stealing it. That’s all that happened here. No, you can’t talk to the dead – over wifi or any other way.
yeah chief, i was at Mt. wannahockalugi and i was around this sort of wireless signal thing, i think they call them wifis and then i heard chuck norris calling my name,, it was trippy, i think all that reefa had something to do with it
You’re suggesting that this ‘Gloria’ is haunting you via technology? Haha, I can see the commercial now, ‘and the latest in bluetooth’… Seriously though, jot this sh*t down and right a movie about it. I’d watch.
Explanation #1: One of the other five known local Glorias has a wifi connection which you can receive.
Explanation #2: One of the unknown number of unknown local Glorias has a wifi connection which you can receive.
Explanation #3: Despite being in her 80s and not really being called Gloria, the late Gloria had a wifi connection you can receive, which the company neglected to disconnect.
Explanation #4: A neighbour named their wifi Gloria so she could see it and connect to it when using her computer.
Explanation #5: The late Gloria, despite being in her 80s and not really being called Gloria, had a wifi connection of her own you could receive, which she named Gloria anyway, and since she passed on has been supernaturally keeping it connected to the internet and powered up, for you to connect to it for unknown reasons.
Of the five explanations (not an exhaustive list of course), and all else being equal, I have no idea of the explanation most likely to be true; but there’s one option which is clearly the least likely. Guess which!
