What scares you the most?? An unexplained sound, touch or sight?

I am more scared when seeing or feeling something than when I hear something; what about you?

[earthlydelitesGStudy]

Sound is the worst for me! My Alexa does some weird stuff and that freaks me out!

[daphnerose]

I've heard people say their alexa just laughs sometimes. Thats scary!!

[KlaineyGStudy]

I have been pretty lucky at least when I hear something there is nothing scary about the voice or the tone. Still happier to hear than see!

[Snickers]

Definitely seeing something!

[earthlydelitesGStudy]

Yes, I've heard that too! Thankfully Alexa hasn't just laughed at me yet!

[siguie]

I've never felt, heard or seen anything scarry BUT my echo dot has laughed for no reason, it's really not a scary laugh though it's just kind of odd when it's out of the blue in the middle of the night. Also the ring light came on so it's not like you are going to think it's some crazy woman that wants to kill you. I figure some programmer just wrote an Easter egg

Um yeah a bunch of times Alexa has a couple of different laughs, presumably in addition to any language variations. Anywho Amazon screwed it up a few months ago by "fixing" the random laugh :sigh: Now if you ask her to laugh she says something  like "sure I can laugh" ... then does. Before she would just start laughing

Um great nice to know you like chocolate thanxz for sharing AND no you are not getting any siguie brand Mega AWESOME Grand Marnier truffles

[KlaineyGStudy]

Wow, technology today.   Just send your recipe I will make them

Meh I just checked and now Alexa just goes "tee hee" so apparently Amazon made it even more lame

Um yeah the recipes for "good" chocolate truffling is incredibly simple just chocolate, heavy cream, Grand Marnier, and a little cocoa powder for dusting. The trick is in choosing the right ingredients {because fat content is critical} and doing everything at the correct temperature. I have an inch thick marble "board" just for chocolating {and some fancy French stuff} AND you need to make sure and do it when the room is at the proper temp. Anywho I use Callebaut and generally use the 5kg block

[KlaineyGStudy]

technology.

I will give the truffle making a try, although, I might eat the chocolate before I get round to doing it

[earthlydelitesGStudy]

Pics of the truffles please!!

[MrsFrootloops]

Pooky makes truffles

On the paranormal note..I have had blasts of anger/ rage thrown @ me by spirit before that is pretty scary.  That fight or flight reaction.

Daphne, I'd love to hear more about those experiences, were you trying to remove them from a location?

[KlaineyGStudy]

Yes, I am sure we can all relate to the fight or flight scenarios. I too, would love to hear more about your experiences

I think I've posted about it before.  It was several years back.  I was working at a local gas station minute market.  There was a spirit of a man that hung out in the storage/cooler area.  I could always feel him in one area of the store only.  He liked to be back in a corner and did NOT like his space invaded.  So I just kept to myself and stayed as far away from him as possible.  It gives me goosebumps still to remember that guy.  One morning I was doing my usual routine making coffee morning prep stuff. It was probably about 4 and we weren't open so most the lights were off.  I had to get a few things from the walk in so I hopped in there and was grabbing a few things when all the sudden I felt this blast of energy racing towards me.  It was just anger and rage and get out of my space energy!  It literally just flew at me.  I don't know how I stayed calm but I stood my ground and said I know you want me out of here and I'll be gone in a minute back off.  I stood my ground and got out of there.  Didn't run tho.  Did not want that sucker to know I about peed myself!!!

My sisters Garmin GPS and her phone app would get snippy if you didn't follow the directions it gave. Even animals can frighten you. You should've heard the parrot my Brother used to have. It had the evilest laugh. At different times, it scared the bee-Jesus out my sister and me.
