had a very freaky experience around a friends last night. downstairs watching the footy and Alexa turns on just playing white noise (static) anyway we go up turn it off. but then comes back on like 20 mins later playing a song from the 40's! followed by white noise. we ask alexa to play the last song but plays a completely different song!

30 mins later my friend grabs me, i say what its just an airplane flying over? she goes ok, but then straight after a world war siren comes on! so we realise the airplane noise was coming out of alexa to,then more white noise. we go up and unplug it this time( no idea if its got a battery) then 30 mins later it comes back on playing a song from the 40's again! this time i get out my phone and record it. i walk to the stairs then the white noise comes again. we both go up the stairs, i wanted to record it unplugged, just in case this thing doesnt have a battery source! but shes freaked out and just presses buttons and just as she does a voice comes on it, just as she disrupts it and it turns off again. in the footage you can hear the voice with her saying afterwards wtf was that! lol, the hairs were stood up all over me at this point! anyway we ring her son and he says plug it back in and reset it? so we plug it back in and as soon as we do its playing a radio broadcast from the war talking about Normandy then more white noise! we got some footage of that to, but she was so freaked out and it was so loud she just kept pressing buttons to turn it off. what do you all make to it? and have any of you had similar experiences?

My Alexa perks up every so often randomly, I reckon she just fancies a chat

Yes, occasionally starts to chat to herself. I don’t mind as I live alone. It’s probably the government spying on me

My friends Alexa has an attitude problem. It pretends it can't understand me then is nice as pie when her hubby asks it something.

I do know certain government employees are not allowed such devices in case other factors use them to eavesdrop onto their conversations

I can’t say who or what, but it’s very true

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

It knows your secrets and your fears. It's probably synced to all your accounts too, ready to read your Fab messages out when you have the vicar over for dinner.

1. It's possessed. Kill it with fire!

2. They're here!

3. It's become self aware and will turn your household appliances against you.

My Dad called around and started whispering so I asked "Dad why are you whispering" and he replied "because the Government is listening to everything you say". I laughed, then he laughed and then Alexa laughed.

I hate Alexa so does my family, its something about the Geordie accent it doesn't pick up on.

So glad I don't have one it would annoy me to heck plus it's just laziness I reckon.

You can use a number of apps that can cut and splice videos, simply cut out the part with your friends bum in it
