    My TV turned on at about 4:30am this morning – woke up to the bright glow out in the lounge. I could tell it was just cycling through google stock backgrounds, but still didn’t want to go out and turn it off (stupid brain thinking awful things) and didn’t want to wake up boyfy since he was sleeping so peaceful after a rough few nights. Thankfully it turned itself back off after 10 minutes.

    I’ve read stories about how Alexia will randomly start singing or playing sounds when people are home alone and I really hope that my TV story is the spookiest I ever experience from smart tech!

        My first thought was the cat, but he was snoozing in his own room. Tried to convince myself it was a mouse. Or the remote randomly falling off the table.

      My washing machine started filling up late one night. I nearly shit the bed. It turned out to be a timing issue.

      Our doorbell goes off randomly at times, which isn’t fun when it’s late at night. Think it’s just a cheap doorbell problem rather than a ghost, like my colleague reckons

      Whenever I hear about these things, I always think of that video (1:50) with the bloke staying in a Japanese hotel when North Korea were doing their missile tests, and his tv turned itself on multiple times
