    What kind of phone is it?

    My aunt has a Samsung (?) I think that has a phantom alarm set for 4:00 pm. It goes off every day at 4, but in the alarm settings there is no alarm set. You can see the alarm notification in the status bar at the top but when you tell the phone to turn off all alarms, there aren't any at all.

    anything - anything - that happens unexpectedly in any kind of computer or computer-adjacent device is due to demons, just like how anything that goes wrong in a traditionally mechanical device is due to gremlins

    things like modern cars are a truly cursed target of both factions

    You had to set up a stealth alarm to remind you of the thing they made you forget.

    You...do remember it now, right? Did they make you forget again? Ah, oh well. Hey, why's your phone lighting up again?

    Yes, I have a break from work so I flip it at 4, look around the house to see if anything turn on, then about 10 seconds later flip it back off

    The quick answer for a haunted phone is to submerge it in holy water. Eventually it will stop lighting up at 4, or at all really

    It likely controls an outlet you don't use. Potentially even at outlet that's been covered up!

    My parents' land line recently stopped working, and now they can hear whatever is on TV very faintly through the telephone receiver.

    I told them it's definitely ghosts

    Dad thinks rainwater got in a phone junction box outside, but that sounds like bullshit, it's definitely ghosts

    My grandma used to have an old ass like late mid century chrome plated as hell gaudy ass am/fm battery powered radio with one of those big long telescopic antenna

    Anyway if you turned the fm dial all the way up and pointed it in a specific direction out her window you'd hear weird faint voices

    It was really creepy until one day we tuned the TV to the local fox station at the same time we played with the radio and realized the voices were just the audio part of the broadcast somehow getting picked up via FM
