My dad bought a bunch of power tools from a rental store in the 1980's. One was a large drill with a metal brush. Several of these tools had old/ shorted switches that would jam, short, and worked so erratically, I ended up throwing them out. Than d#$m drill with the wire brush wheel would turn on all by itself and easily get locked "on". For no reason it would start up and start running in the garage. With the large metal brush, it was dangerous as all get out.

Not saying the OP's experience wasn't valid, but when that drill would turn on in the middle of the night, it would freak me out. Never considered it possessed though, the switch was just to far gone to work. Even tried fixing it, but couldn't find a switch. Perhaps it was possessed!

Sure... but did the fact that the drill wasn't plugged in bother you a bit?
