I’ve got multiple lights that have turned themselves on. All instances on multiple switches. What could be causing this?

My 7 year old woke up the other morning and said her light was on but we thought she was lying

House was built in 2009 and we haven’t had any electrical issues in the last 6 years here

Ghostbusters?
I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself. I have no idea what would make a light turn itself on.

Do you have smart bulbs or switches? If so, any little power disruption will do that or a malicious automation you or your spouse may have written while drinking and forgot about.
The odds of multiple dumb switches failing to stay open is zero.

I appreciate the responses so owe you all the rest of the story

Determined my youngest sleep walked and turned on half of the downstairs lights.

Bizarre I know

Kids love to turn on lights, and "Forget" to turn them off. Sleep walking is one I've never had to face------thank goodness.

At the farm and got a call from our neighbor about a month ago, one of our smart switches failed and the kitchen area looked like a disco. Had to head back and disconnect the thing before the house burned down.
