👩 Who: Eli K. from Ann Arbor, MI

💬 The experience: I've been housesitting for a pair of married friends going to a family reunion, and I swear this place is haunted. Shades are left up – or down – when they weren't before, and I can hear voices talking sometimes when I'm supposed to be alone.😨 Maybe Alexa is playing a prank on me...
