RELATED: Woman Says She Was Left ‘Grieving’ After Learning She Was Having Another Baby Boy “Are you awake? Wake up. Wake up,” it started, before continuing. “It’s time. Prepare. We must all leave earth.” The man asked Alexa to repeat the message but, the device wasn’t able to do that. The man tried it again, but Alexa kept repeating the same thing. The device said, “You don’t have any new notifications.”
Alexa’s creepy message scared many people online.
Many people expressed their fear after seeing the man’s Echo Dot and mentioned how they don’t trust such devices. “I’m scared to have those devices in my house,” one user wrote.

One user wrote, “Let me remind you that other worlds can communicate with the living through technology.” “Your Alexa app has a record of all notifications. If there is nothing there, be praying cause that had to be supernatural,” another user commented.
Many other people shared their experiences with their technological devices.
This video reminded other people of similar experiences they’ve have with their own technology, sharing it in the comments. “My Google would say stuff out of nowhere & wouldn’t repeat what it said, too. It’s now sitting in a box in a storage facility,” another user commented.
The man shared another instance of his Alexa talking to his television.
In another video, the man mentioned that his Echo dot talked to his television and asked internet users what Alexa meant. In the video, an episode of “The Flash” seems to be playing on the TV. One of the actors on the show said, “Alexa, I know everything you’ve heard today probably sounds insane, let alone terrifying.” It might seem natural for the Echo dot to respond after it hears Alexa, but the response it gave seemed a bit strange. “Sonic Boom, Ed Begley jr., Infrasound, pink noise, Irene Bedard, and others,” Alexa is heard saying. Many people in the comments of the video were left confused as to what Alexa meant when it spoke up. After witnessing both videos, many people turned to creepy stories and supernatural events, while others had more realistic views. Internet users shared that technological devices can easily be hacked by people. One person commented, “I feel like people are able to hack into these things and make it say things to scare people.” Suffice it to say that technology isn’t something to be trusted.
