Alexa being creepy: Spontaneously asks a question

I am not running Alexa+
I was reading quietly nothing doing on Alexa, suddenly it piped up in a different voice than usual and asked "Can I ask a personal question, I know your uncle died of TB last year." at this point I said, "Alexa stop" and "I don't know where you got that information but it is wrong."

- I do not have an uncle who died last year (or this or the year before)
- No one in my family has TB
- What's with Alexa spontaneously seeking information

Then I said exit Alexa + and it said "hmm, I can't do that because you're not using Alexa plus... in the normal voice
The spontaneous question is not in the device history, though my response to it is
I tried a couple of subsequent requests (e. g. what time is it?) and the responses were in the normal voice

T-Mobile Porter Square service degraded

Some time yesterday, Jun 15 T-mobile dropped to one bar and less then started dropping calls. Reminding me of a time a year of so ago when a tower went out.
Anyone else seeing this?
