    Default Ghost or electrick mulfanction?

    This story happened to me this morning.
    It was early morning only me and my mom where home.
    We live on the 8th flour and all the windows are either closed or barbed.
    Now, this morning our stereosystem started playing some scotish music and woke both of us up.
    How the hell could it turn on by itself, then change to cd mode (last time we used it it was on radio I think) and start playing.

    This is all very puzling.

    In contrast to the efforts of tiny Israel to make contributions to the world so as to better mankind, one has to ask what have those who have strived to eliminate Israel from the face of the earth done other than to create hate and bloodshed.

    You really should see a clinician about your sleepwalking problem. I told you that before.

    LoL, they should realy take care of that.

    I forgot to add an amusing detail.
    After abit more sleep (no self-playing radio is gona make me get up early!), me and my mom talked abot the incident.
    It went somethinglike this:
    Mom (in a casual tone)- We have poltergeists.
    Me-

    She talked about it like she just saw our new neighbors and wanted me to know.

    Unplug the playersystem, and plug it back in. Maybe it somehow defaults to CD and somehow autoruns (like a pc) certain CD's.

    [that would suggest a very short powercut in the night]

    The key word here is somehow.

    Luckily there weren't any "demons" visible nearby.
    "Romans not only easily conquered those who fought by cutting, but mocked them too. For the cut, even delivered with force, frequently does not kill, when the vital parts are protected by equipment and bone. On the contrary, a point brought to bear is fatal at two inches; for it is necessary that whatever vital parts it penetrates, it is immersed. Next, when a cut is delivered, the right arm and flank are exposed. However, the point is delivered with the cover of the body and wounds the enemy before he sees it."

    - Flavius Vegetius Renatus (in Epitoma Rei Militari, ca. 390)

    Well, you don't know until you try.

    And if it was a VERY short 'brownout' more than a total power cut (blackout), it could have been just enough to jinx the machine into action.

    I once had it with a computer and static electricity from walking across the room - I touched it, and it went dipstick on me.

    Did you have a CD with Scottish music in the cd tray? Because if (say) you had a CD of Metallica and it started playing bagpipes then we are definitely in the area of paranormal activity.

    Yeh I had a CD with scotish music (in there).
    It just wasnt set on.
    If it got turned on, we should have heard the radio not the disc
