An eerie video circulating on social media in Mexico shows the moment when a department store security guard stumbles upon a group of Alexa devices praying in the middle of the night. The bizarre incident reportedly occurred earlier this month as the man was making his rounds at the Iron Palace shop in Mexico City. At approximately 2 AM, the security guard was stunned when several of the store's Alexa devices suddenly began reciting the Catholic devotion known as the Chaplet of the Divine Mercy. Particularly chilling about the strange scene was that there appeared to be one device leading the virtual prayer service, which echoed throughout the otherwise empty store.
Since being posted on TikTok over the weekend, the spooky video has gone viral in Mexico, amassing a staggering 13 million views to date and sparking all manner of theories as to what unfolded in the department store that night. Some viewers offered the intriguing suggestion that perhaps the devices were being used by ghosts in an attempt to hasten their journey to heaven, while others theorized that the incident might be some kind of Easter-related divine message. Meanwhile, more skeptical viewers posited that someone could have simply programmed the devices to recite the prayer as part of an elaborate prank to terrify the unfortunate security guard.
