Haunted / Hacked iPhone 5S

Hi there,

Yesterday at 3:30am my iPhone 5S woke me up by playing music out of nowhere. It wasn't my alarm clock - it was random music from iTunes. When I looked at the phone I realized that while I was sleeping the phone made two phone calls and managed to tag a person on a random picture on Facebook. I don't know how any of that was possible. A few months ago the phone would randomly Facetime people, but it stopped doing that. I don't understand how what is happening is even possible. Has anyone experienced the same issue? Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem?

Thanks!

iPhone 5s, iOS 7.1.2
