67 True scary stories to tell in the dark

54.Bengin ghost

"Almost every night my TV turns on by itself at some point between 3-5 am. I used to think that maybe it was one of my cats who walked across the remote, but I've tried hiding the remote, putting it places where they couldn't get to it, and it still happens.

Now I just turn the sound all the way down, before I go to bed. The TV will still get turned on, but at least then I won't be woken up by it.

I'm sure there's some reasonable explanation for it, but I rather like the idea of having a benign ghost, who likes late-night TV, living in my tiny apartment with me." — Lilebi
