Strange happenings in the bathroom!

Aww I think he's sweet, but I'll be watching mine now

We stayed in a converted piggery in France one year and the loo flushed itself occasionally during the night - quite spooky as the only access was through our bedroom. Also the digital radio I. The conservatory turns itself on during the night, so always has to be unplugged!

My soap dispensers are well behaved but I have a TV in the bedroom like Blinko s.
I don’t know if it’s at the same time as I haven’t looked at the clock but it is in the middle of the night. I don’t unplug it as I’m afraid it might mess with the settings.

Going back 15 years, my daughter decided she needed an 'angel' type baby monitor - a new fangled gadget to me.

She switched it on one evening, came downstairs and we listened out for my baby grandson.

We heard voices, a man and woman cooing and giggling, a baby laughing. Shocked, my daughter shot upstairs - to find him fast asleep.

Obviously, somebody nearby had the same channel/bandwidth as us.

We wondered (and worried about) what we'd all said or done - and if they'd heard us. The monitor went straight in the bin!

I have a carriage clock inherited from my sister. When it stopped working I took it to a click repairer who told me it was quite valuable (which I didn’t know). The repair estimate he gave me was quite expensive so I said I would think about it. The following morning the clock was working!

Some years ago living in a bungalow I bought my grandson the Strawberry Shortcake bear from Toy Story 3. It said various phrases when you pressed different paws. I was expecting their arrival so tucked the bear into the bed he was going to sleep in. Sometime later went to the loo and as living alone didn't shut the door fully. While in mid flow heard this creepy male voice say "Hallo". Though startled thought it must be from outside so carried on. Then heard "Hallo. Is anybody there?" You can imagine the scene as I tried to finish up, hoist up pants, and close the door!? I honestly thought my neighbour (or a burglar) had come in! It took me at least an hour of searching around to realise it was that creepy bear!
My grandson never liked the bear either!!

We had the 12 days of Christmas display on glass shelves in the foyer of the library. The milking maids faced into the library, but the next morning had often turned round. We thought they were having a dance when no one was about.

I'd a TV that was turning itself on, got a new one a couple of months ago cos I thought I'd end up having a heart attack some night with it coming on. First night it did it I woke thinking I'd burglars in my house so it really needed to go.

For my daughters 6th birthday l bought her a doll called Cricket that you could put a tape in to her and her mouth moved as she sang the special Cricket songs. My daughter who has always been a comedian since she was born put a Rod Stewart tape in Cricket so the time I saw the doll sitting on the kitchen table with her mouth moving and hearing Rod singing “tonight’s the night” was unnerving.

Our tv has started to turn itself off after about five hours of running, I dont know if it is a safety thing, but it is strange.It is seven years old, surely it cant be giving up the ghost yet!

My parents enjoyed buying antique curios. One time they bought an old toasting fork. It had a bent prong, which they carefully straightened and hung it on the wall as an ornament. Soon after, they noticed the prong had bent itself again. After they straightened it and it bent again they got the creeps and threw it out.

Our alexa is always giving comments even when no one has spoken. We never know what about because it is such a surprise at the time.

I had a bag of toys l kept in my wardrobe ready for when l looked after DGS l opened the door one particular day to hear a voice announcing 'I love you' took me a minute to realise my wardrobe didn't actually love me but l had inadvertently left one of his toys switched on lol

I’ve had the tv turning itself on in the middle of the night. Switching off at the socket sorted that.
My strangest experience was with my iPad.
I was doing a bit of surfing one evening when I suddenly heard a conversation between a couple discussing a film they’d seen coming from my iPad. It only lasted a minute or so but gave me the heeby jeebies.
NobodyI’ve spoken to about it has any ideas what could have caused it. Any GNs experienced this?

When my youngest daughter was at high school, she brought home a 'smart' baby doll for the weekend. (I think it was a lesson on the reality of motherhood.)

It cried regularly (and loudly) when needing a feed or change.

After one sleepless night, she abandoned it on the landing, of course. At bedtime, I buried it deep inside the laundry basket, to muffle it's sound.

At 4 am I was roughly shaken awake by our family dog. He'd tipped over the basket, retrieved the 'baby' - and placed it on my pillow!

I love your dog Hetty.

Outofstepwithhumanity, I was just going to post about TV's turning themselves on, as our one did that when new. DH had to 'program'? a different time for updating.

I once came downstairs in the morning to find that my sewing machine had started running in the night and was jammed with tangled threads but still trying to move. It turned out it had been left plugged in and something which normally stops it going when not being pressed had burnt out in the foot pedal causing it to go without being pressed! I had to buy a new foot pedal and remember to always unplug it when not in use! Nothing spooky, just a lesson learned.

I have Tinnitus so often get strange squeaks and whistles in the night. I do tend to ignore them now but in the beginning it was very strange .

I have a colour printer which tend to print out the document 24 hours later at a time of its choosing. I think it's to do with being wireless and going through the router. It was only a cheap printer!

Ah! Thank you.

Oh Mamma66 that sounds awfully spooky! ?

That Santa needs to socialise, put him in the kitchen, he'll be happier having his hat tapped more often.

Yes it is you, DON'T panic, and the subconcious part of the human brain that does not have the abilty to 'photocopy.'
Don't we all at some time say we don't remember doing that? This is one of those moments when at a time you may have had more interesting issues on your mind not giving a second thought to Father Xmas who doesn't appear to like being moved {grin}

Husband bought his eldest a Teddy Ruxpin when he was little; it drove hubby mad and he hated it. It was forever randomly going off and unnerved him. Eventually he took the batteries out and threw it in the dustbin, as hubby put the lid down he said, “that should shut you up” and Teddy Ruxpin opened his eyes and said, “absolutely”! Hubby has been deeply mistrustful of anything similar since...

I have a tv that turns itself on in the middle of the night! Nothing worse than being deeply asleep and suddenly hearing a spooky film?

This was happening to me too - driving me nuts to hear it suddenly switch on around 3.00am. OH was sick of being blamed.

Finally sussed that the culprit was ME - without realising it.

I can pre-set reminders to make my TV switch over to a particular programme .................... BUT, I was accidentally switching it to 'Series Link'. This meant that whenever that particular programme was scheduled, my TV would switch over to it OR - if the TV was switched off - it would actually switch the TV ON ........................ no matter what time of day, or night .

Even now, I'm not 100% when I've managed to switch to 'Series Link', so have to keep double-checking the 'Schedule List' that's hidden somewhere in the 'Settings' - or is it hidden in 'Source' .

Ha ha he just looks a bit vacant.
