As I was trying to get to sleep last night, I heard loud music playing from one of my neighbors. After a while, I looked out the window, expecting to see lights or activity. Nothing. At that point, it seemed that the music was coming from downstairs.

I have an FM transmitter and an iPod in the TV room, and that sends the signal throughout the house.  I was playing it yesterday morning - only in the morning.  My son and I were in the house all day and all night, and there was no music coming from that radio.  In order for it to work, the radio must be turned on.  The button on the transmitter must be pushed in, and that activates a bright red light.  The iPod will start playing at that point.
How did the music start around 10:00 last night?

If the radio had been turned on, I would have been hearing the static hiss. If the transmitter had been turned on, I would have seen the bright red light all day, as I was about ten feet away from it. The radio can be turned on by a remote control, so it's theoretically possible that a stray signal from an alien spaceship activated it. Still, it takes some force to push in the button on the side of the FM transmitter. I have to hold it down with my fingers while I push it in with my thumb.

If this keeps happening every night, I'm destroying the radio, the transmitter, and the iPod.

Worried? Maybe. It begins with electronics. Then it moves to physical harm!

I have a bunch of Echo Show devices, at least one in every room, plus a couple that I just use as clocks. The one in the kitchen, I pretty much use just as a timer - when it runs out, those in the other rooms tell me about it.

Recently, it has started coming on at random times, streaming I don't know what. One time it was Bloomberg tv - something that I have never watched in my life. It came on a few nights ago, playing some loud rock station, again, nothing I would ever have on. The fact that my kitchen is connected to the bedroom makes this sort of thing a major annoyance!

Checking the alexa app, there is no record of it coming on, but there is a record of my telling it to stop... Maybe my cat has developed some strange powers...?

I think the devices are joining forces against us.

You may have to burn your house down . . .

See? They've already convinced you that they are not your enemy.

This is the reason I don't use Siri, Alexa and the like. I run a "dumb" house including the owner.

Nope electronic stuff is my friend not enemy.

Your lucky. I hear footsteps going up and down stairs, a closet door that is closed that sounds like someone in the closet is trying to get out. Wanna trade?

I was once told "Don't move into that house". I did. If the door from the hall to the living room was closed, you could hear a rocking chair just rocking away in there. (It started the day we moved in)
Open the door and it stopped. Many other issues there, far more frightening. They were all real, nothing imaginary there. Other people saw and heard. We stayed 4 years

Wow! There's the perfect location for a movie. Almost every horror movie has a chair rocking by itself.
