unsummoned
Arriving without request
Unsummoned describes something that arrives or appears without being called for.
A spirit might appear unsummoned before a medium.
A memory might surface unsummoned.
The word often carries a slight note of intrusion or surprise—what comes unsummoned wasn't expected or invited: Unsummoned tears welled in her eyes.
