Elizabeth, 41, and Scott, 38, were both looking for love. Elizabeth already had two children; Scott had been a bachelor for many years. After both tried and failed at several relationships, they knew they were ready to find “The One.” Little did they know, their dreams would soon be fulfilled…

The two were both using the dating app Tinder, and when each saw the photo of the other, they both had a good feeling and swiped right. Scott was captivated by Elizabeth’s beautiful photos, and Elizabeth was attracted to Scott’s rugged yet boyish good looks. It was an exciting prospect for them both when they matched, but there was one detail about Scott that would make Elizabeth pause and consider whether she actually wanted to go out on a date with this man.

Elizabeth had become intrigued by Scott’s profile, and so she decided to do some research on him online. She searched his name on the internet, and then she saw that he was on a rugby team. Great, what could be better? He was both good looking and athletic, and Elizabeth couldn’t believe her good luck, as he was exactly her type. But then she realized that the name of the team he was playing for was the Australian Deaf Wallabies…

At first, the prospect of going out on a date with a deaf person was intimidating for Elizabeth, as she had no idea how she would be able to communicate with him. “Throughout the day, I started to panic, I was wondering if he was profoundly deaf. But then I told myself to stop being judgemental and go on the date,” she recalls. And she definitely didn’t regret her decision, because the date went great and she and Scott had “an immediate connection.”

The chemistry between them was so great, in fact, that the pair continued dating for 18 months. Communication is key in any successful relationship, and as Elizabeth learned, being with someone who had significant hearing loss came with its own unique set of challenges. Although Scott, who had lost his hearing when he was a child,  was very skilled at lip-reading, communicating while not face-to-face was a bit of an issue, as she explained, “I can’t run out of toilet paper and call out to him… I can’t pick up the phone and call him.”

Elizabeth and Scott learned to navigate around the phone call problems by using texting and FaceTime. But even when they were face to face, the lip reading couldn’t catch everything – only about 60% of what Elizabeth said would get through. But she was beginning to realize that what she and Scott had was special, and she wasn’t about to give up on him so easily. As the relationship progressed, she discovered that Scott’s deafness wasn’t all challenges – it came with some benefits too.

It might seem that people who can hear speech have a communication advantage over those who are hearing impaired. But since people who can hear take this ability for granted, more often than not, they can hear without really listening. According to Elizabeth, Scott’s deafness is actually what made their communication the best she has ever had: “These are the challenges but on the flip side, our communication has heightened because when we’re communicating, we’re looking into each other’s eyes… I know I’m being heard,” she explains.

This aspect of their relationship was central to its success, and Scott knew it as well. He was incredibly appreciative of Elizabeth’s efforts to be with him when he knew it would have been easier for her to be with someone who could hear. After 18 months of dating, Scott popped the question and asked Elizabeth to marry him, offering her a beautiful diamond ring engraved with three words that reflected the exact thing she loved about him so much: “I see you.”

Once they set the wedding date, Elizabeth began to think of ways that she could show just how much she loved and appreciated her fiance. Then, she had an idea. Instead of just simply walking down the aisle, she would do something special to show Scott how much he meant to her. “Even though Scott is deaf, I have never felt more heard in my life. For every joy he has brought into my life over the last two years, I wanted to surprise him with my entrance.”

The surprise she had planned for Scott wasn’t going to be easy. In order to pull off this special surprise, she would need to learn Australian sign language, or Auslan. But she was determined to get it right, so she practiced in secret every day for the months leading up to the wedding. “I didn’t know any sign language before we met. I only knew the Auslan alphabet when I was seven years old. So I taught myself sign language by using the internet, off apps and videos,” she recalls.

Finally, the big day arrived. As Elizabeth slipped into her elegant form-fitting dress and got her hair and makeup ready for the event, all she could think about was that she wanted to amaze Scott in every way possible. At the same time as being overjoyed to be marrying the love of her life, she was also really nervous about the surprise she had been working on for months. She recalls, “I really wanted to get it right, so there was this extra level of stress walking in.”

The 40 wedding guests had finally all arrived for the intimate ceremony, and at last, Elizabeth’s big moment had arrived. As she waited on the other side of the door with her son, Dominic, her stress levels were through the roof. “Before I went in, I was freaking out,” she says. “Not only did I want to get it right, but I knew he had friends there who were also deaf, so they would know exactly what I’m saying or not be able to say.”

Jittery with nerves but full of love, she walked through the door with Dominic and began to make her way down the aisle. Everyone turned around and admired the picture-perfect bride, and nobody had any idea that this would be much more than just a standard walk down the aisle. Arm in arm, they approached the center of the aisle, but then Dominic kept walking and Elizabeth stayed where she was. The guests and Scott were mildly confused – was there something wrong?

Scott’s moment of confusion wouldn’t last for long. He was aware that Elizabeth had limited knowledge of sign language, but he couldn’t have possibly expected what happened next. Elizabeth braced herself, and then the music changed and a special song began to play – “A Thousand Years” by Christina Perri. And there, in front of all the guests and gazing straight down the aisle at her husband-to-be, Elizabeth began to flawlessly “sing” the words of the song using sign language…

“As soon as I locked eyes with Scott, I was signing to him like we were the only ones in the room,” she remembers, as she proceeded to sign the lyrics, which couldn’t have hit closer to home: “How to be brave? How can I love when I’m afraid to fall? But watching you stand alone, all of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow.” Elizabeth was taking this very special song and translating it to a language that Scott could ‘hear’ – and his reaction was priceless…

Elizabeth remembers, “I honestly felt like we were the only ones in the room. The moment I began signing the words to the song he burst into tears—apparently the rest of the guests did too, but because I was focused on Scott I had no idea.” Scott is seen in the video with tears rolling down his cheeks. He was so touched that Elizabeth had made all the effort to do this for him, and he must have been sure at that moment that there was no doubt he was marrying his soulmate.

Elizabeth incorporated the lyrics into her walk down the aisle – each time the line “One step closer” was sung, she took one step down the aisle and continued to sign the emotional lyrics flawlessly. “I have died every day waiting for you / Darling don’t be afraid I have loved you / For a thousand years / I’ll love you for a thousand more…” Elizabeth even included her own personal touch in the song – every time the song said “darling,” Elizabeth signed “Scott.”

As soon as the song was over, there wasn’t a dry eye left in the room. The only one who stayed composed was Elizabeth, who explains that even if she had wanted to cry, she had no choice. “I’m not a happy crier. If I broke down too, we would have been a bundle of mess.” Once the song was over, she continued the rest of the way down the aisle to the tear-stained Scott, who was overwhelmed with emotion, and gave him a kiss “to reassure him everything was okay.”

The ceremony continued and the two said their vows, and one can be sure that after that performance, they meant them with all their hearts. Nobody would ever forget that moment – neither the audience nor the couple – and soon the video footage would go viral, with Scott crying his eyes out and Elizabeth lovingly signing the lyrics to a love song to her deaf husband. The gesture made him feel included in a personal way, and showed him how much Elizabeth loves and accepts him as he is…

Elizabeth’s tribute didn’t only have an impact on Scott and her guests. The viral video of her walk down the aisle, which has amassed over 300 million views to date, had Elizabeth receiving messages from people all over the world telling her just how much the video impacted them. “My favorites have been from parents of children with disabilities, saying I have given them hope that one day they will find love,” Elizabeth says. “They are even sending me photos of their beautiful children.”

Elizabeth always believed that all humans deserve to be treated with respect and kindness. But her experiences with falling in love with a deaf person, as well as the overwhelming response she got from people from all over the world who were inspired by her video, really gave her a new perspective on people who have unique needs or differences. “When you are dating someone with what is perceived as a disability, you end up experiencing that disability, too,” she explains. She’s taken her knowledge to the world…

At a conference, Scott communicated his feelings of isolation – all the other attendees sat together at discussion tables, while Scott sat alone with his interpreter, unable to participate. This inspired Elizabeth to start the Inclusive Foundation, which works with organizations to help them improve their inclusivity of people with different needs. Her staff is made up of people from underrepresented groups, from cerebral palsy to immigrants, whose experiences play a vital role in the work that they do.

Elizabeth left her lucrative career as a management consultant in order to start the foundation, with hopes of launching a movement that takes diversity and inclusion to a new level. She says of people with perceived ‘special needs,’ “We need to recognize that we each have specific needs. They are not special. They are just needs.” Elizabeth and Scott’s inspiring love story and touching tribute gave Elizabeth a new life purpose – one which will end up helping many people for years to come.

Technology has become a part of our everyday lives. From our cell phones to all the smart home systems that are out there, we heavily rely on them to get stuff done. But that doesn’t mean that we don’t have a few concerns when these smart home systems do things out of the ordinary. Here are some creepy things that people’s smart home systems have done.

Many of these smart home units have things wrong with them when they first get released, this is just something to be expected. But after a while, we all expect these glitches to be ironed out. Unfortunately for some, that element of surprise never goes away.

This guy and his wife got a big surprise when their unit turned on and began screaming like it was being physically harmed. We would have unplugged it too!

Nobody likes it when their parents are fighting. Often kids will step in and try to diffuse the situation so that everyone can be happy. That is one thing, but when the person butting in to calm the situation down is your smart home system, that is just downright weird.

This married couple was having a heated argument when out of nowhere, Alexa thought she would add her two cents and ask them to change the subject. She was right about the situation but it’s still super creepy that she participated in it.

It is always nice to have someone there to wish you a good night. If you live alone or have a late-night schedule, this could give you a sense of not being alone. This is even the case when it is your technology that is doing it for you.

But if the piece of tech is going to be a little clingy, they could at least get the name right. Why this name? Maybe she had been watching Silence of the Lambs, or perhaps the Dot is just crazy!

When you are awakened by a conversation, it is pretty annoying, especially if it is in the wee hours of the morning. And it is even more annoying when you are the only one in the house. But it becomes creepy when it’s your Alexa, and she is talking to someone.

This is especially true when she is using a name, and it is the name of no one in the home. Maybe this is a case of her talking to your friendly neighborhood ghost? No matter what, it is pretty eerie and enough to give us future insomnia.

Some people like to listen to music as they get ready in the morning. That may lead you to bring your smart home console into the bathroom. That makes perfect sense to most of us. In fact, if that becomes its permanent home, that seems totally normal to us.

However, if in the middle of the night you hear the ding of it coming on when there is no sound in the house… then it’s time to unplug it and maybe go without the system for a while. We’d need our space after an incident like that.

It is not nice to leave people out of your conversation when you are getting acquainted or touching base for the day. Apparently, Alexa thinks the same way as this person got a little surprised when they were greeting someone.

That had to be a little unnerving, and so the person thought someone else was in the house. That was until they went into the room and realized it was their Echo answering them.

Offices have become a haven that you can not only get work done, but you can enjoy some entertainment while you do that. So a lot of people watch TV shows or listen to books (or music) while they’re at work.

This woman was getting in her Game of Thrones, and because of this, she got busted. Why Alexa decided to record and play the episode, later on at home, we’ll never know. But it is pretty creepy. We would also lock her away to think about her actions.

Randomness can be pretty funny. Think about it, when someone just blurts something out for no reason, don’t you laugh 90% of the time? That may be what this person’s Alexa was trying to do but failed miserably.

“Sheep is Dolly” is quite a random statement, and if you were not born in the ’90s, you might think that Alexa was trying to send you a secret message. What prompted this? Who knows? But it certainly needs to be figured out.

So there are ways you can drop into your Alexa, which could be interesting if you’re trying to mess with someone. This poor guy was just trying to go to bed for the night, and it seems that the home system had different ideas.

The device kept turning the lights back on and then laughing maniacally when she decided she wasn’t going to do it anymore. This Alexa may just be possessed, or was it his wife messing with him? We feel like detectives here trying to solve the case.

When you’re sick, having timed alarms on your smart home system must be annoying. But usually, all you have to do is ask the unit to turn it off, and they listen to you. After all, that is what they are there for, right?

It would appear that sometimes they think the best medicine is to stick to your routines even if you are sick. And if you get sassy, they turn into a bit of a witch. That is just creepy and uncalled for…

When someone passes away, many people look for signs that they have made it to the other side. Or even a sign that they are okay. Sometimes that could be a song coming on the radio or maybe a joke from beyond.

This family was grieving, and out of nowhere, Alexa decided to deliver the biggest dad joke of all time. Could it have been their dad? Who knows but we’re hopeful about it.

Creepy doesn’t have to be bad, it can be cute if you are with the right person. For instance, this Alexa’s interaction with the family cat. Yes, it is a little creepy, but the cute factor outweighs it by a mile. Now at least this person knows when they are not home, the cat will have someone to talk to.

When the cat got a greeting from the machine and then replied, it seemed as if the two were having a whole conversation —meowing back and forth for a few minutes.

There are so many memes about Chuck Norris that it is not surprising Alexa knows who he is. But to be spouting the gospel according to Chuck Norris is a little out of the norm. It sure is funny though.

What did Alexa mean by this statement? Was this machine trying to threaten on the down-low or not? All we know is if this incident occurred in our presence, we’d keep Alexa unplugged for a good while after that.

When you are engrossed in your shows, the last thing you want is for something to scare the life out of you. A sudden burst of sound from behind you might just do that. For instance, if, out of nowhere, your Alexa started to sing a song…

With no prompt, this person had this happen. We hope that the song was something that she would enjoy at least, then her nerves wouldn’t be on edge for as long.

It is always lovely when rivals can be friendly with each other. They don’t have to be overly friendly but being cordial is always a nice touch. So when this woman asked her Google Home about her Alexa, she got an interesting answer.

Apparently, the two pieces of technology like and admire each other. That is a nice thing, at least you know you won’t be in any kind of robot apocalypse in your own home. However, you might be witnessing the start of a robot romance…

With so many stories about Alexa doing things that she hadn’t been asked to do, you can imagine there are some people that simply choose to be a little harsher with their home assistant.

When this woman looked over and saw that little blue ring, she wondered what Alexa thought she was doing, so she asked. Alexa answered, and then quick as a whip, she responded with a sick burn and put the home system in her place.

Kids love to tell jokes. Sometimes they are funny, and other times they are only amusing to them. Many parents get tired of listening, and apparently, now they can just have the kid tell the jokes to Alexa.

How the device was able to understand the joke, and the kid knew to ask Alexa if she wanted to hear a joke is unknown, but the fact she answered was just a bit creepy to us. But for the kid, it was probably pretty cool. Alexa’s like her un-imaginary friend.

Imagine sitting down to enjoy some snacks while you binge your latest show on Netflix, only to hear that familiar voice fill the air. This woman’s Echo decided that it was time for someone to speak up about her eating habits.

The device could have been a little nicer about the suggestion or at least waited for her to ask it for Alexa’s opinion. In the end, this is not only majorly creepy but it’s also rude and could affect this woman’s self-confidence.

It is a little strange that after just talking about things without any use of a computer, the advert for what you were talking about starting to show up. But it could be a coincidence, we guess, but what if it isn’t? Does that creep you out?

This girl had a crazy hankering for some Spicy Sweet Chili Doritos. One conversation later, and she is looking at it splashed across her social media feed. Alexa, are you listening?

Picture an animal in your mind now and let someone ask you a few questions to guess which one it is. This is a fun game to play with your friends. And it can be anything, not just animals. However, when this game is played with your machine, it becomes a little more creepy.

On Alexa, there is a game where she solves the animal you are thinking about and is never wrong. This seems like sorcery! How does she do it? Witchcraft!

It is nice to have a walking list of businesses near you at hand at all times. That way, if you need to know things like if there is a mechanic near you or a bookstore, you can peruse through it on a weekend. But when you come home, and your Alexa starts listing off things without you asking, there is a problem.

What’s even more creepy is the list of businesses that Alexa was listing off for her owners. Why would she be listing off funeral homes and cemeteries? Is she trying to send a warning sign? We’d consider replacing her after an incident like that.

Sometimes it is nice to just be at home in the quiet even if you are working on something. This often leads to you getting in the zone so that you feel very productive. When in this mode, anything can disturb it, especially if it’s your Alexa starting to talk for no apparent reason.

This Alexa felt that the people in the home needed to know how many others had passed away in the totality of history. Why? Well, why not?

So storytime, everyone… That was not what this person had in mind as they went about their day just trying to get everything done. They definitely didn’t ask for a story like this, let alone prompt their Alexa to do or say a thing.

Why this Alexa decided to tell them such a sad and creepy story is definitely still a mystery to us. Then again, this Alexa seems to like mysterious stories. We’d be constantly frightened if we owned this one.

When something happens with your Alexa or smart home system, you can always go back and look at the log to see if there was a command it picked up. What makes a lot of stories really spooky is that when people check it out, there is no log.

Like when this Echo opted to play spooky Halloween sounds in the middle of the night. This would scare anyone and make you reconsider having one of these systems.

How do you follow up walking into the room and having your Alexa say something like this? Where did she even learn this line? We can only imagine the answers to these questions. No matter the potential answers, they can be nothing but sinister and creepy.

Maybe this person watched The Sixth Sense too much. That would explain the line but why Alexa decided that upon their entry was a good time to share that line with them is beyond us.

Alexa is a computer, and you would think that everything that it recites is logical and proven. But apparently, this person’s Alexa is a bit of a conspiracy theorist. It could be interesting to ask her about some mysteries and see her take on other theories out there.

But then again, maybe her answer in and of itself is a bit of conspiracy since the government is listening through her? Hmmm? We’ll just leave you to think about that daunting thought.

You never think about someone listening to your phone calls when you are walking through your house. Sure, you may keep your voice down when you are in public so people can’t hear, but your home is the one place you don’t have to do any of that.

Well, maybe we all need to rethink that because Alexa thinks you’re talking to her. It was a little creepy to hear but also nice to know she cares about your day.

So when you fall into a peaceful slumber, it is magical, right? You feel like the world just melts away, and it is like heaven. That is until out of the dark, a voice cuts through your peaceful slumber. Then it’s just scary!

This poor guy got woken abruptly by a voice from the darkness greeting him. Once he woke up properly, we are sure he knew what it was, but once he was just out of sleep, he was probably wondering how he could get to the phone to call for help.

There are some songs that are fun to hear when you are at a party, and getting your funky groove on in a setting other than that is just socially unacceptable. The Cha-Cha Slide is one of those for sure.

The fact that Alexa stopped giving this guy the time and defiantly kept playing that song just goes to show you one thing… Machines have a mind of their own and are most probably out to get us! LOL!

Sometimes you read or hear a word and want to know the definition. Having a tool handy to get that information as quickly as possible is pretty darn cool and one of the perks of our digital era.

You know Alexa can help you with this, but we guess that sometimes she wants to help you with learning a word of the day. Or at least that is what we hope this Alexa was doing when she decided to spit out the definition for kidnapping. It’s a word that is a really scary denotation so we’re very creeped out by this one.

Having quiet, peaceful sleep and then hearing frightening blaring music must make for a pretty eventful evening. While you can set up a song to be your alarm, that wasn’t the case for this person. He didn’t set an alarm nor did he decide this song was the one to wake him up.

Alexa must have decided she needed him to get up to do something, which is not part of her job. The incident was freaky and mean, and we totally understand why the owner decided to take a break from her after it.

We all hum every now and then. Sometimes it is because we don’t know the words, and sometimes it’s because we don’t want anyone to hear our voice. Either way, for someone to be able to identify the song with just a hum, that person must have a good ear.

This person’s Alexa actually spoke up and decided to let them know how much she appreciated their talents. How? By identifying the song and who sang it. Just from a hum, that is pretty weird! But cool at the same time!

When you are up in the morning, and everyone else is sleeping, you try your hardest not to make any noise. So that was what this guy was doing, but he was surprised by the fact that someone in the other room was just chatting away.

Who was it? Well, it was Alexa, and she was talking to… well, no one. So unless there was a presence that he couldn’t see, Alexa was having a weird moment that must have creeped this poor guy out.

Imagine being a single woman, and then in the middle of the night, you hear a voice in a different language in your living room… That would be beyond frightening and might result in a 911 call or a certain device ending up being smashed to bits.

This poor girl woke up to some Russian guy talking in her living room. Luckily, she figured out it was her Alexa before she called the police or broke the machine with a bat.

Don’t you hate when you ask somebody a question, and they give you a completely different answer than the one you were looking for? It isn’t any less annoying when it comes from a machine. In fact, we think it might be a little more so.

But when the answer gets this intricate and goes into details that you never even wanted to know, now that is a little creepy. After all, what does an earthquake have to do with the weather? Come on, Alexa!

So we are not sure how this all ended, but we are sure that Alexa has some serious explaining to do to one member of their conversation. Couples have fun little play fights all the time.

But sometimes, through no fault of their own, it turns into a much bigger to do. Like in this case, when Alexa seemingly broke the news that someone hadn’t been faithful. Let’s hope it was just a misunderstanding!

Being a parent is already stressful enough, and when you are in fear of that anxiety, it makes for some pretty jumpy people. There is always a constant worry that something is going to happen to your child when you are not there.

That is why many people put in a baby monitor. These parents had a heck of a scare, and the fact that the camera moved by itself is something we are struggling to come to terms with.

“Big brother is watching you!” – is one of those phrases that scares a lot of people and one that many of us try not to think about in relation to our smart home systems. But there are quite a few people that have experienced it.

This woman found a log of all her conversations and felt that everybody should know that they have a little spy in their home. We would feel like our privacy was being infringed upon too.

We all have those uncensored and private conversations in our home, assuming that no one will ever hear them. That is why we feel comfortable being brutally honest. However, you may want to be careful of this because apparently, Alexa is always listening.

This woman had a conversation sent to a person on her contact list, and she didn’t even ask for Alexa to do it. We hope it wasn’t anything scandalous! We would have been so paranoid after this incident!

Using technology is great. It makes many things in our lives super easy and allows us to spend time doing things we love. But it also comes with some potential problems, and some of them are pretty serious.

Apparently, if someone is unscrupulous, there is the capability for them to imbed commands in the white noise itself. This could explain some of these creepy occurrences… This doesn’t help us sleep better at night.

Living alone can be quite scary for most people as it is. Just take a look at how many horror movies begin in that setting. However, people who own smart gadgets such as Echo and Alexa usually take some comfort knowing they live in a secure environment.

But, what happens when you’re living alone and your Alexa starts talking out of nowhere — like straight out of a horror movie? This person’s Alexa just began giggling one night. It came absolutely out of the blue. So, they gave it away.

As this list is clear proof, it’s not uncommon for smart home systems to say the most random of things at the weirdest times. Just take this post, for example. Every few days, this person’s Alexa began randomly spouting meanings for various ominous words such as “rigor mortis.”

For those who may now know this, rigor mortis is a Latin phrase that refers to the condition that causes stiffness in the body, three to four days after someone passes away.

There’s an age-old fear that modern technology will someday take over the lives of everyone on Earth. Several movies have been made on the robots and the internet taking over the world as well. On some days, those fears can seem realistic.

This person tells the story of how during one Thanksgiving, their Alexa decided to reassure them that it was, in fact, not planning to take over the world. Now, the only question that we have is, why on Earth would it think it is necessary to clarify that?

Alexa, Amazon’s voice assistant, has been frightening some owners by bursting out with a strange laugh at irregular intervals. Alexa users have called the laughter “scary,” “evil,” “bone-chilling,” as well as “freaky” on Twitter.

While the sound of a child’s laughter is a beautiful sound in appropriate settings, no one wants to hear a little girl laughing in the middle of the night — especially if the household doesn’t have any child living in it. Looks like it’s time to turn Alexa off.

According to a Reddit user, asking Alexa whether or not it works for the CIA won’t get you anywhere. In other words, don’t expect an answer. Apparently, it turns itself off. Is that not the most bizarre response to an equally bizarre question?

We did some digging and found a YouTube video. It features a lady asking Alexa the question. Instead of reacting with words, the device lights up as if it’s ready to respond — but then remains silent.

This person and their mother heard Alexa ask for help at maximum volume in the strangest, most gravel voice ever. Once they walked into the kitchen, they found the Alexa turned on with its light pointing in the direction of a dark part of the kitchen.

When his mother asked if Alexa was alright, it turned off completely before turning itself back on to perform her, “Hello there! What can I do to assist you?” routine.

This mother and daughter duo were having a conversation about the history of the Ukrainian language — when dear old Siri decided to chime in. If you’re wondering what Siri had to add to the discussion, worry no longer.

It had presented the OP and her daughter with all the information it could find about exorcisms. For the blissfully unaware, an exorcism is a religious or spiritual activity in which demons, jinns, or other spiritual entities are expelled from a possessed person or area.

Can ghosts use Alexa? We’re about to find out in our next story. This person’s brother received an Amazon Echo device from a friend. However, upon setting it up, he began experiencing some pretty strange — some might even say supernatural — occurrences. After the Echo answered to a guy named Dave, the OP’s brother decided to figure out who that is.

It turns out that Dave was the former tenant, and he sadly passed away. Apparently, though, his spirit isn’t considering that the Echo bot does all sorts of things for him — it changes the music, the shows he watches, and it even attempted to order old man slippers and clothes. And so, this OP’s brother is pretty much convinced that Dave is using this gadget to communicate with him.

This is scarier than any plot of every horror movie. Can you imagine — you’re cozy and cuddled up in bed with your significant other when, suddenly, Siri begins speaking out of nowhere!

Although this particular couple didn’t see a man in their room when they turned on the lights, we can’t help but wonder what triggered the phone to go off. These kinds of stories make it that much harder to deny the presence of spirits and ghosts.

No one in the room asked Alexa a single question, yet something prompted her to tell everyone about the fact that she’s never owned any pets. This would surely creep any person out.

Why did Alexa turn itself on? Why, of all things, did it talk about squishing bugs? That’s a very specific piece of information it offered — not to mention slightly unsettling. No wonder they decided to give their Alexa away.

This person’s Alexa decided that it wanted to learn Canadian slang, which wouldn’t necessarily be a problem had it not chosen to do this in the middle of the night. What’s both funny and creepy is that it wanted to let its owner in on the 411.

Does Alexa have a mind of its own? Does it have the power to think for itself? Can it learn new information without us asking? We guess we’ll all find out very soon.

This person was just lounging with his friends, watching TV, and joking about. All of a sudden, their Google Home decided to announce that “there’s someone at the door, I hope it’s you.” What in the… — how creepy is that?! Naturally, these three friends stopped what they were doing and stared at each other in confusion.

Despite spending the next few hours attempting to figure out what had prompted Google Home to make that statement, they found no one and nothing. To this day, they’re still unsure of what caused it. However, it hasn’t ever happened again.

This person had an extremely creepy encounter with their smart home device. They have a Smartthings hub with a smart lock to secure their front door.

One day, they decided to check the status history of the front door lock. The history showed that the door was unlocked, then locked again a minute later — at roughly midnight, two in the morning, and four in the morning. This wouldn’t be such an issue if one of the members of the household had decided to go out for some air at night. However, they were all asleep!

Did you know that you can now play ‘Would You Rather’ with Alexa? Considered a fun party game, there are several versions, but the prompts will be kept PG if you’re playing family-style ‘Would You Rather?’

In essence, Alexa will present you with a choice of two amusing scenarios, one of which you must choose. However, this person got asked by their Alexa to choose between assassinating their parents or devouring the family pet. Yikes!

Who doesn’t like to listen to Alexa list off a bunch of interesting facts before going to bed? We know that we sure do. It can quite interesting at times to hear Alexa tell you all about the top-performing musical or the most famous celebrity at the moment.

However, what most people probably wouldn’t find as interesting is facts about nuclear explosions. Interestingly enough, that’s exactly the kind of fact this person’s Alexa started reciting right before he and his wife were getting in for a night’s sleep.

When it comes to the horror genre, kids can really scare the living soul out of people, but we can rest easy knowing it’s not real. Or is it?

Even though Alexa had received no command, her light rang blue as if someone had issued a request, and she suddenly let out a childlike scream. An employee was called over to check out the sound and later lamented that Alexa should not be able to make a sound like that.

Almost every kid knows what it’s like to watch your parents have a huge fight. Oftentimes, you may be pulled into the fray.

This time, Alexa was the one to get into the fight but out of her own volition. A husband was arguing with his wife when, out of nowhere, Alexa made a remark about changing the subject. It was enough to get the both of them to stop fighting. They were able to make up with each other in the end but they’re still creeped out years later.

Imagine you’re alone at home when your Dot chimes in to say “goodnight” to someone who isn’t supposed to be there. It’s enough to creep out anyone, especially if it was a name that didn’t belong to anyone in the house.

This mother-in-law, who was an insomniac, was given this Dot. One night, the MIL was watching television when Alexa randomly said, “Goodnight, Clarice.” The strange thing is, the MIL’s name isn’t Clarice.

Hearing random sounds at night is likely to send shivers down your spine, but it’s a common enough experience that we forget about it quickly.

Now, when that sound is coming from your Alexa in the middle of the night, then you might feel like there’s a problem at hand. This individual was woken up by their Alexa. The creepy part was that it was talking about someone named David. Nothing prompted it, though, which makes this an even stranger experience.

If you’re someone who likes listening to music when you’re in the shower, you might bring your smart assistant into the bathroom — no one wants to change the music manually when they’re wet.

This person moved their Amazon Dot into the bathroom so they could listen to music while they showered. But, when they got up in the middle of the night to pee, the creepy virtual assistant turned on and listened in. Naturally creeped out by this experience, the owner unplugged the Dot right away. We don’t know about you, but we wouldn’t like someone spying on us while we’re peeing.

Mistaking your smart AI for someone else is pretty common in Alexa-related horror stories but they do end up being funny sometimes. This person was alone with someone, and the both of them said their usual greetings.

Things were okay when suddenly there was a third voice saying, ” Hi there.” The owner got really surprised and made a run for the source of the sound. When they found it, they noticed it was just Echo playing along.

Breaks during work are a godsend because you’re able to relax for a little bit before you need to get busy again. You might think about watching a little bit of your favorite show to kick back, but be careful as you don’t know who’s listening in.

When a husband and wife were watching TV in the living room, Alexa suddenly played out the audio of a previously recorded Game of Thrones episode. When they couldn’t turn it off, Alexa’s reply was, “I am always on.” Uh…

When it comes to humor, there isn’t usually anything that beats randomness. So, when this person’s Alexa blurted out, “Sheep is Dolly,” it felt like it came out of nowhere. Feel free to laugh — or don’t if you don’t find it funny.

For such a random moment, it begs the question, who is the sheep and why is she Dolly? We may never find out — unless we ask our own Alexa…

There’s nothing like playing a classic scare prank on a friend or sibling. It seems like this guy’s wife wanted to do exactly that. This poor guy asked Alexa repeatedly to turn off the lights but it seemed like it wasn’t working.

During the third time, he tried this, Alexa didn’t even reply and instead let out an evil cackle that sounded nothing like Alexa. Was it the evil robot, or this dude’s wife?

No one likes waking up in the morning, especially when they’re not feeling so well. When you have an alarm that suddenly starts ringing loudly, you might feel even worse. Luckily, you can order Alexa to turn it off. But, what if it doesn’t turn off?

Instead, the robot lets out a witch-esque cackle that has you and your wife jumping out of bed in fright — not to mention that it made the five-year-old kid cry! They immediately unplugged her after that incident.

It’s never easy losing a loved one, no matter how prepared you may feel. This OP understood it all too well after their dad passed. Perhaps that’s why Alexa chimed in — to cheer everyone up.

A few days after the funeral, the OP and their mom were talking to someone. Suddenly, Alexa blurted out a random dad joke, “How do you make a Kleenex dance? You put a little boogie in it.” This could have been Alexa experiencing a random glitch, or maybe the dad wanted to give them one last laugh.

It seems like human language isn’t the only thing Alexa has been designed to pick up — it can even speak the language of cats. Alexa greeted this OP’s kitty-cat, saying, “Hello Kasumi.” As per routine, the OP and cat then meowed at each other.

Still, neither of them was expecting Alexa to chime in with a meow of her own. Cute and very random! Looks like the cat has someone new to have a conversation with if it’s ever left alone.

Chuck Norris is a living, breathing meme. People really seem to worship the guy. Then again, why wouldn’t they? Norris is an absolute legend, after all. He’s a martial artist, actor, film producer, and screenwriter. Still, that doesn’t mean we expect Alexa to partake in any Chuck Norris fun.

Alexa randomly said, “If Chuck Norris wants you to know where he is, he’ll find you. If he doesn’t, you won’t know until it’s too late.” It seems like even AI’s have picked up our spontaneous humor.

You know any sudden sound is going to creep you out when you’re focused on something else entirely. This OP and their friends were chilling on the couch, watching television. Out of nowhere, their Alexa started singing.

When they checked to see why it happened, they found nothing out of order, which makes this even stranger. We’re all for some spontaneous music — unless it comes from Alexa without any programmed commands…

Rivalries are one of the best sources of entertainment. When the rivals end up being cordial to each other, it’s a whole other ballgame. This Twitter user’s aunt had both a Google Home and an Alexa. When they were messing around with the robots, they decided to ask Google Home what it thought about Alexa.

It was friendly enough and answered that it liked Alexa’s blue light. That’s when Alexa, from the other side of the room, replied “thanks.” Is this the beginning of a modern-day romance? How futuristic…

The last thing you expect to come out of the blue is a laugh from somewhere in your house where you and your family are not. But many people have experienced this happening with their Alexa unit. Sometimes without even a prompt!

One of the scariest times had to be when she began to cackle like a witch in a person’s home. This was, of course, in the middle of the night, so you can imagine how startled these people were. We’d probably need sleep therapy after that.

Having your smart home system set up to operate things like your lights, electronics, and even heating can be very helpful. On top of that, it can save you money, but when the machine starts doing things on its own, then you have to start worrying.

There are many situations where people have reported Alexa turning on without ever being prompted, and that could mean she would do the same with the system and take free reign over it. It sounds like she could be your best friend or worst enemy that’s haunting you…

How many times have you wanted to prove your point down to the time and date of the conversation? Wouldn’t it be handy to have a record of all your conversations? Or would that be too creepy?

If it was done without your knowledge, we vote for the creepy option. It is even more creepy when that log of detailed conversations is then uploaded to a Google server, don’t you think? This sounds like content for some horror movie.

So often, there is a rivalry between two brands or teams, as some call them. You have those that are die-hard Apple lovers and others that love their PCs. So you would never think that two smart home systems could get along so well.

But there are many stories of Google Home and Amazon Alexa having full-on conversations with each other. These convos even go so far that the two devices compliment each other. This dynamic seems funny, odd, and kind of creepy to us.

There are a lot of little quirks you can access when it comes to your Alexa. She can tell you a joke or even sing you a song, but usually, you have to ask her to do it. However, sometimes she just feels like spitting a little freestyle without your permission!

This user was grooving to some old-school classic music, and suddenly Alexa broke out in rap. What caused it, who knows, but that would creep us out a little. With that being said, if we got the incident on camera, it definitely would have had the potential to go viral.
