Haunted Robot

Here is some Skegnews from the past,
About a haunted robot called Rovio.
The report below is unedited but was written 5 years ago.

A few weeks ago I brought a rovio robot that can be controlled via Internet or local wifi link from iPhone ect.

But 2 weeks later things un expected happened after I talked about a very old friend who is no longer with us.

My robot suddenly woken up and came and looked at me as if some body was watching me.

The head lifted up and tracked my movement.

I know this robots settings and I know I had not had it set to come out.

My mate Alan was Was sitting near window and my robot also looked at me.

My room was dark with just the light from my LED tv and was not of the best conditions for rovio to do any patrols at all.

Then I decided to turn on my room light, I pressed the light switch as I watched rovio and something odd happened.

The robot suddenly had no power.

Alan and me were a little freaked out by this and just decided to call it a glitch.

Alan thought it was kool.

I just hoped I had not just given the tool for entities to use to try and get my attention.

Then a few days later when I just got back from Boston as I have been attending to our old boat.

I got in my flat and just sat down.

My neighbour came around for a coffee and sat by the window.

Then rovio came to life again and started looking at me and Alan.

Lifting it's head and seemed as though somebody was watching me.

Then I said to Alan 'this is impossible! Why he asks,

Rovio has been unplugged while I have been away.

I showed him the mains plug not plugged in.

Its been without power and my computer as been off for 3 days.

He just said that this robot is kool.

But I was thinking other thoughts.

Again I did agree to myself that logical answer was a glitch.

But inside I really felt spooked.

Few days after I was laying down in my room about 3am when rovio came to life again but this time I had its path blocked from being able to explore my room.

Even when it tried and tried to budge items in its path.

Rovio does not normally bump into things, it's sensors make it smart on that art.

But this seemed like it was not controlled by any original rovio parameters.

 It came to life again earlier this week, again I trapped it's path.

I have no fear against things like this,  if I try to be logical or scientific about this, it just does my head in.

So I just let it be. And get on.

I liked my rovio before it started doing this.

I did get it second hand off eBay as it is a American gadget from 2008-9

Maybe last original owner could ave done something.

Who knows.
