My TV just turned itself on! It is a good 2 meters away from me and the remote is on the table next to it!
Someone tell me there is a perfectly normal explanation for it before I invest in a nightlight and refuse to sleep without a light on tonight.  |

I'm sure there is a normal rational explanation as my PC Tower in my bedroom has a habit of powering itself on and off with no touching of the on buttton and it isn't in standby mode
When it does it at 3 am all rationality goes out the window... its WITCHCRAFT |

Must be something in the air today. I was standing at the back door earlier and I'm sure someone sighed ( is that how it's spelt) behind me. Thought the boiler man had come early but there was no one there |

Halloween was last week I had my back to the TV and just went white when I heard someone talking, turned round and it was the TV. |

"it might be on a timer or something...don't panic
 "
That's what I thought but it hasn't been switched on for about 2 months. Could a timer go that far ahead? x |

"Its simple your next door neighbour has the same telly as you and they stood outside and turned your tv on just to freak you out lol   "
We used to wind up a local pub landlord like this. One guy had the same tv at home and used to take the remote to the pub with him.
At one point we had the landlord convinced that one of the old boys could changed the channels by tapping his baccy tin  |

When I was living at home 6 years, both me, my brother and folks all saw the same thing. Out of nowhere (remember this really vivid) in the living room,to the door was banged with such force it knocked the wood panels out of the door. ALL 4 panels flew across the room, and get this fell in such a position they where stacked and neatly aligned all four on top of each other. Upon jumping up, the mirror above the fire shattered and the shards fell into a nice neat pile. I tell no lies! |

I suppose it is only the living that can hurt you. Would be interesting to know if anyone is here but wish they wouldn't scare me to death in the process.
Its a huge terraced house with bay windows , high ceilings and very old but not sure which year it was built. 1800's at least x |

Probably an easy answer just to spoil the fun
Have you got low energy bulbs on near it. They do it when they are wearing out. Something to do with giving off IR frequencies that can sometimes match the remote control.
Ours kept changing channel. We phone Panasonic and the repair guy called us and said change your light bulb and call me back. Never done it since |

Your PC... I hope you have checked you have remote access switched off, also you can remotely wake a PC.... in order to access it. Do you have PC anywhere or similar installed??? |

It happens a lot on the older TV's that you can put into standby. Do not know about the new old less than two years old. It is something to do with capacitors leaking charge I think. Do not worry about it. just turn it off at the main if it start doing it a lot. |

Chuck a bucket of Holy Water over the telly just to be on the safe side.
However, when you claim on the insurance for a new telly, an event involving tripping whilst carrying water may be the preferred version of events. |

These sorts of things never really bother me too much but I was actually just reading some true stories on Reddit and my skin was crawling a little bit.
I'm not actually looking forward to it getting dark later. |

To be fair there is probably a really simple explanation like you some how accidentally set a timer on it.
Or that guy with the hockey mask and chainsaw set one for you...how considerate of him |

I've done some "ghost hunting", most of it is sitting about in the dark, freezing cold, but the odd thing happens that there's no good reason for |

Hmmmmmm, nope.....there's still two wards used that are separate from the main building. Was a fully functioning hospital until 10 years ago.
I'll need to have a read up on the history |

Greek, English, doesn't matter - he is still right
As for turning things on and off, a power surge can do it too as can dodgy batteries in a remote.
Taps take a but more work though - might be the family of 12 living in the EU clothes mountain KoK |
